Australian Trade Minister Craig Emerson sings a crappy song when asked a question about carbon tax

"The trade minister began boogieing to the backing of the Skyhooks number at a doorstop press conference in Canberra before singing 'no Whyalla wipeout, there on my TV'.

Comments on the micbroblogging site range from 'what an idiot', 'Someone should tell Craig Emerson The Voice is over', 'Seriously, what was Craig Emerson thinking!?' to 'I thought it was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages!'"

according to Tony, whyalla was supposed to wiped off the map cuz of the carbon tax.

Tony

it might take longer than two days?

it'n not going to happen.

i hate the carbon tax as much as the next person, but i also hate fear mongering pukes even more.

you all deserve what you get, fucking retard country. Save the environment eat a greenie.

He's one of Guillard's ex lovers isn't he? while he was married at the time.

Why? Most people don't want a carbon tax. It is being forced on people.


"THE Gillard government has its back against the wall as it implements the carbon price, with the latest poll showing Labor deeply unpopular and support for its policy at its lowest level since it was announced.

As Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott launched de facto election campaigns yesterday to mark the introduction of the carbon tax, the poll found support for the policy had fallen 4 percentage points in a month to 33 per cent, the lowest level since it was announced 15 months ago.

Two out of three Australians don't want a carbon tax. Will Julia Gillard and her Green and Labor mates listen????

That was frikin weird man.

Yeah, Tony Abbott loves to f*ck Jodie Foster on the side, probably still does since she's not far way these days.

the dancing! stop the dancing!

huh, no this is on record, she was on with Emerson, it busted up his marriage.

Not that I'm pro-conservative, they're all in the NWO club.

so she's NOT a lesbian???

the awkward part was him waiting for the music to come on...

Here's what the song is supposed to sound like:

HOLY FUCKEN SHIT!

Australian politics just stepped one rung up the retard scale there.

I'd guess she was in her uni days.

there's a pretty awkward bit just after that when he starts dancing and singing.

"No Whyalla Wipeout there on my teevee,
No Whyalla Wipeout there on my teevee,
No Whyalla Wipeout there on my teevee,
Shockin' me right out of my brain!
Shockin' me right out of my brain!"
-- Trade Minister Craig Emerson

Obviously retards are attracted to each other.

Is this a different version of the song? At least this video doesn't have so much talking in it:

Today a journalist asked Trade Minister Craig Emerson how things were going in Whyalla, a big steel producing town. The Minister decided to sing a crappy song. What a joke.

Here is a video:

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18956017

An excellent demonstration of the immaturity and idiocy of our politicians.

Doesn't it just make us all feel so proud?

Here we go, full version, with music and dancing, and not much talking. Just full-on tard action.

<-- Whyallatard Craig Emerson

Poor guy, could see clearly from his facial expressions...that his heart wasnt really in it. You get an honours degree, maybe a PHd, do your bitfor somthing you belive, and they make you do somthing like that. Terrific

Oh crikey, here is another example:

Wikipedia says he's got a Doctor of Economics.

This video has Dr Emerson actually answering questions:

[link to www.youtube.com]



He says the carbon tax will be 70 cents in every $100, so 0.7%. He says it will cost a household around $9.90 per week, with "substantial compensation" of $10.10 per week.

GEE I WONDER WHAT I'M GOING TO SPEND THAT EXTRA TWENTY CENTS PER WEEK ON!!!!!

Also, if the tax is going to be so incredibly small that people will hardly notice it, how is it going to stop global warming???? What is the POINT of taxing everybody an extra $9.90 per week, giving them an extra $10.10 per week? Unless it actually stops global warming, it is a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!!!

Dr Emerson? Dr of what?

"Craig holds a Bachelor of Economics (Honours) Degree from the University of Sydney, a Master of Economics Degree from the University of Sydney and a PhD in Economics from The Australian National University."
