Five Aussie MPs lead the way by resigning in disgust over carbon tax

It's starting to crumble.  As I referenced earlier, the scandal suggesting that the academic effort to prove the critical need to address "global warming" and "climate change"seems to have been manufactured has only added fuel to the anti-global warming community.  EPA employees posted a video on YouTube stressing the dangers of Cap and Trade legislation.  Well...looks like it's catching on in Australia.  And these are Liberals!
The Liberal Party is in turmoil with the resignations of five frontbenchers from their portfolios this afternoon in protest against the emissions trading scheme.

Tony Abbott, Sophie Mirabella, Tony Smith and Senators Nick Minchin and Eric Abetz have all quit their portfolios because they cannot vote for the legislation.

Senate whip Stephen Parry has also relinquished his position.
