An emperor (Kevin Rudd pictured above) who cares too much about clothes ( the glory of saving the world from Human induced Global warming) hires two swindlers (James Hansen and Al Gore ) who promise him the finest suit of clothes from the most beautiful cloth (prestige of leading the world to a Carbon Reduced future).

.

This cloth (saving the world from carbon Induced Warming), they tell him, is invisible to anyone who was either stupid or unfit for his position.

.

The Emperor cannot see the (non-existent) cloth, but pretends that he can for fear of appearing stupid; his ministers (Wong, Garrett & Co) do the same.

.

When the swindlers report that the suit is finished ( National Emissions Trading Scheme), they dress him in mime. The Emperor then goes on a procession through the capital showing off his new “clothes”.

.

During the course of the procession, a small child (60 Minutes) cries out, “But he has nothing on!” The crowd realizes the child is telling the truth. The Emperor, however, holds his head high and continues the procession (until the crowd gets to vote on his stupidity at the next election).

Well done, I give you full points for that. BUT it applies to alot more issues than just carbon trading scheme. The revamp of the laws on the National transport industry and his whole attitude toward the rural sector in general are just the tip of the iceberg.
