As Malcolm Turnbull continues his spiral to utter destruction, reports continue to spread that he is working on a final “f**k you” to the Liberal Party. Sources report that he is working together with Kevin Rudd to pressure a number of Liberal Senators to vote with Labor at 3:45pm AEST today to guillotine debate and force the ETS through.
Vexnews reports the following Senators are a possibility to vote with Labor:
Judith Troeth
Richard Colbeck
Simon Birmingham
Marise Payne
Helen Coonan
Concetta Fierravanti-Wells
Bill Heffernan
Helen Kroger
Michael Ronaldson
Russell Trood
George Brandis
It is IMPERATIVE these offices are bombarded with phone calls telling them NOT to vote with Labor and destroy the Australian economy.
You can find their numbers on the Senate Webpage (when I have a few spare minutes I’ll post them up here later today)
UPDATE: I have just been informed that due to the immense volume of calls and emails, Senator Fierravanti-Wells has reversed her position and will vote AGAINST the ETS. Keep those calls coming!
UPDATE 2: Heffernan & Kroger have come out against supporting the guillotine.
UPDATE 3: For today, we won
