As the biggest donor to the Liberal Party with nearly $11 million over the past 9 years, including the single biggest donation to any political party at the last election of close to $2 million, the mining industry has bought itself control of the climage change agenda. In Australia, clandestine donations to the Liberal Party from the mining lobby are funnelled through "fronts" such as the Cormack Foundation and Free Enterprise Foundation. This cynical act is designed to bypass transparency regulations. The same lobby donated bigtime to both of Bush's presidential campaigns - but at least the donations were transparent. When Bush won his first election, an editorial appeared in The Age around that time predicting that Bush wouldn't be signing Kyoto after receiving $US13 million from the coal lobby. When are we ever likely to see a major Australian daily criticise this cynical breach of the transparency regulations and expose Howard's phony climate change agenda?
