Garrett’s hearing suddenly improves

Andrew Bolt – Friday, July 10, 09 (11:24 am)

Peter Garrett yesterday couldn’t hear many people opposing the idea of banning climbing on Ayers Rock:

Yesterday Environment Minister Peter Garrett - who would give final approval to the plan - said he was not hearing “many voices” in favour of keeping it open.

Actually, Garrett today hears one voice, which alone should be more than enough:

KEVIN Rudd has called the idea of closing Uluru to climbers “sad”, and said he hopes it doesn’t happen.

Poor Garrett, foiled again. So far he hasn’t banned Gunn’s proposed paper mill, has dropped the promise to prosecute Japan for whaling, has delayed attempts to ban plastic bags, has been stripped of responsibility for global warming policies, has had to defend the delay in the emissions reducation scheme and all in all must be wondering what’s happened to his agenda.

UPDATE

Paul Toohey:

PETER Garrett has been left looking like a shag on a lonely rock after Kevin Rudd undermined him by saying tourists should continue to be allowed to climb Uluru.
