The Windsor knot : Comments

By Everald Compton, published 14/3/2016

There is a rapidly growing legion of angry voters out there and they are spread right across Australia. They are utterly disenchanted with politics and the political establishment and want to 'shaft them mightily' in Donald Trump style.

Barnaby Joyce should be aware there is likely another cause of climate change, and he is likely working behind the scenes to know reality of influences on weather that agriculture and farmers should know about.

The ABC could investigate question Barnaby Joyce and report reality or not of warmth in ocean algae impacting climate, or not.
Algae is categorically linked to warmth in areas of ocean. e.g.
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/ElNinoColor/el_nino_color_3.php

At least some politicians are working behind the scenes and Barnaby Joyce is one of them.

There is need for a big wake up especially at editorial level at the publicly funded ABC news department.
The ABC is suppressing information about the devastated state of Australian fish stocks and ocean ecosystems, and is not investigating and reporting possible export generating solutions.

Meanwhile 70 percent of fish product used annually in Australia is now imported. Especially catfish for the ignorant.
Good fish and chips used to be a low cost meal.
And this is all linked to export of quality Australian beef cuts that most Australians can no longer afford.

It's likely Windsor also has just sausages on the barbecue, no quality steak like previously.

Windsor's Gillard-Rudd mob did nothing about solutions at all.

Mark Duffett, while the mining activity is taking place, it usually generates a much higher income per square metre than agriculture (though with coal prices so low, it's no longer safe to assume it always will). But mining only generates revenue for a short time, whereas agriculture can go on forever. So where mining is likely to have adverse impacts on agriculture long after it's finished, we should be extremely cautious.

I quite like Barnaby, particularly when he was that courage of conviction Queensland rebel Senator, who holds the record for the number of times any member crossed the floor.

But my respect is just not matched for the Nats and their former leader, who it seems, rolled over and begged for a tummy rub on a whole raft of issues important as life blood to the Bush!

I've heard all that garbage about how you get more results inside the tent?

Yeah? For whom, the affected (save our jobs) members or the patently sacrificed Bush!?

Well it seems Oakeshott and Windsor squeezed far more concessions out of the other side of politics, inside a single term, from outside the tent!

And had that purely pragmatic example been emulated by the party allegedly standing up for the bush their could have been some very different outcomes on things important to the bush, from firearms/feral control to wool, sugar, milk and the family farm and the decimated towns that depended on them!

And that's why independents need to be given their chance rather than the feckless Nats, if only to get Gonski, the NBN and the NDIS for the Bush!

We've really had far too many criminally underreported farmer suicides, and need genuinely committed folks that truly represent them and their issues, rather than just their seats/pay packets and entitlements; or worse, a mindless ideology/Fanaticism?

"Barnaby should go back to Queensland where his head in the sand view of climate change and gay marriage are more acceptable." Is that why the International Gay Lobby, Fairfax and the ABC are so afraid of a plebiscite on SSM VK3AUU? "We the people" might have a say ?

Joyce is just a mouthpiece for his sponsors (such as Gina Hancock and the Coal Seam Gas industry) and an embarrassment generally.

When he's not writing off taxpayer 4WDs in flooded creeks or ranting about $100 lamb roasts or confusing millions and billions (not good even for a former suburban accountant) he's escorting prominent climate deniers around the place at the same time he claims to believe in AGW.

He only stood for Windsor's seat after Windsor announced his retirement and must now be having a few regrets.

It's one thing to claim concern about mining in agricultural land but another not to do anything about it when it mattered.

Rache,

And Windsor is a mouthpiece for Clive Palmer and the coal industry.
