Another excellent article from Miranda in the SMH:
By bowing to Rudd's threat of a double dissolution and announcing his ETS ultimatum to the media instead of to the party room on Thursday, Turnbull hasn't even tried to bring the party with him.But the fact is that you can articulate a position on climate change that does not dispute man's contribution without buying into a complicated ETS, which benefits global financiers but has doubtful value for the environment. You don't have to be a climate sceptic to oppose a new stealth tax on Australians before we even know what the rest of the world plans.
But that is the false dichotomy Turnbull has created and on which his future rests.

Rudd is only good for half threats. A double dissolution called is a double chance for him to be thrown out. Kowtowing to half a threat is the halmark of half a leader. Miranda rules!
