CUT & PASTE Your choice - and you can choose your own conspiracy theory to mark the dismissal, too
Australia and climate policy. Which is it? Page one, The Age, yesterday: Climate change Turnbull rebuked on coal The Turnbull government has been accused of â€¦ standing in the way of the US and Japan as they try to dramatically reduce the ability of rich countries to fund coal plants in the developing world.
Or â€¦ Page one, The Sydney Morning Herald, also yesterday: Climate change Australia comes in from cold Australia has been applauded by delegates at climate change ministerial talks in Paris for returning to active climate diplomacy.

Detail. We want detail. Bill Shorten, doorstop, yesterday: Shorten: Another day and another lack of detail about the Liberals' GST plans. I call upon Malcolm Turnbull and the government to outline what you are actually planning for Australians in terms of a 15 per cent GST. If it is such a good idea and there is going to be compensation for everyone, I would like the government to outline its plans. I understand that Malcolm Turnbull doesn't want to rule out particular ideas, but when he was opposition leader he asked Kevin Rudd, who was prime minister, to outline exactly what are your plans? Today, I channel Malcolm Turnbull the opposition leader and I ask Malcolm Turnbull the Prime Minister to outline his plans for a 15 per cent GST.
Journalist: Are you planning to raise the tax on tobacco?
Shorten: In terms of options for funding in the future, we are looking at different measures but we haven't arrived at a final landing.
It may be clear which way this one is headed. Kristina Keneally, The Guardian Australia, yesterday: My fellow progressive Australians, it seems most of us have fallen in love with a guy who is going to break our hearts. Yes, I'm talking about the cool guy in the leather jacket â€¦ He's a little dangerous and oh-so-enticing that most of us are willing to overlook his flaws (he's a Liberal, for starters) just to get with him.
The dismissal. It was Her Majesty wot dunnit. Jenny Hocking, Crikey, yesterday: Despite knowing of Kerr's concerns for his own position â€¦ the Palace at no stage urged Kerr to warn Whitlam first, nor warned Whitlam themselves of the substance of their communications with Kerr. Their silence on this point could only have been read by Kerr as a "royal green light".
No, no, no! It was the CIA. Guy -Rundle, also Crikey:Kerr â€¦ was a member of "the -Australian Association of Cultural Freedom, a group of anti-communist intellectuals associated with the publication Quadrant" â€¦ Come off it â€¦ The AACF was the Australian branch of the Congress for Cultural Freedom, the global front established by the CIA to funnel money to publications and activities â€¦ Like Allende, who also appointed his (actual) executioner, Whitlam's political error was in not being Left enough in assessing how power was flowing.
