4 Books Tony Abbott's Ministers Are Reading Right Now

Members of Parliament can buy books using government money. Today the books that the Abbott Government were revealed and if you're a progressive -- they'll make you cringe.

The books Tony Abbott's Ministers bought last year using taxpayer's money were released today and they're... interesting.

1. The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future by James Inhof

Via amazon.com

This book describes climate change as "an effort to dramatically and hugely increase regulation of each of our lives and business, and to raise our cost of living and taxes." Hmmm.

2. Tower of Babble: How the United Nations Has Fueled Global Chaos by Dore Gold

Via amazon.com

That's one take, I guess. "Dore Gold blows the lid off the UN’s shocking failures to keep international peace, its corruption, its rampant anti-Americanism, and its emboldening of terrorist organizations."

3. Taxing Air: Facts & Fallacies About Climate Change by Bob Carter and John Spooner

Via amazon.com.au

There's something of a pattern developing here. This book blurb includes "But is it possible that the so-called consensus science around anthropogenic global warming produced by lavishly funded research institutes ... is wrong?"

4. Learning to be a Minister: Heroic Expectations, Practical Realities by Anne Tiernan and Patrick Weller

Via amazon.com

We all know they're still working the whole Government thing out. Good thing Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce (who bought this one) knows his weaknesses. We just hope he shares this book with colleagues.
