Australian Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's contempt for journalists and voters generally couldn't have been more obvious
At a press conference he called himself at the Adelaide Ice Service factory on 26 April 2013, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott abruptly walked away when asked a question concerning his contradictory stance on the Good and Services Tax (GST).
Re-writing the ‘official’ record the Liberal Party published transcript has Abbott closing the question segment with a Thank you and not the sight of his retreating back.
This Adelaide press conference is also noted for the fact that Abbott described the ice factory as a business which is going to be badly damaged by the carbon tax; is being badly damaged by the carbon tax despite the fact that it had been approved for a $90,000 grant from the Gillard Government Clean Technology Food and Foundries Program to offset its energy costs with the installation of an 87.5-kilowatt solar power system.

While Metgasco spins its prospects the top investor loses interest
On 23 April 2013 The Northern Star reported that Metgasco Limited had left the door open to activating Dobie Bight wells, Harrier 01 and Corella P1.
This is a classic case of misdirection in the hope that local media and interested Northern Rivers’ residents would not notice recent share sales.
On 22 April Metgasco also lost CSG Nominees Pty Ltd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liquid Natural Gas Group Limited) as its largest shareholder, when these companies divested themselves of 24,310,732 of the 34,570,577 shares held at 21 September 2012.
It is unclear as to whether CSG Nominees intends to sell any remaining shares.
This share sell-off raises doubts about Metgasco’s somewhat unrealistic insistence that it still has prospects, presumably in Queensland and possibly in relation to LNGL’s Gladstone LNG Project.
The Australian Stock Exchange records Metgasco shares closing at 5.6 cents on 24 April 2013.
