By Werner Sattmann-Frese and Stuart Hill, published 9/10/2018

We believe that the task of sustainability workers is to enable people to develop an ecological consciousness, and to remove the barriers to acting on this.

Bullseye! Hasbeen. Got it in one.

This is just another puff piece by social worker wannabees dreaming up reasons to justify the creation of another useless government department, which sucks up taxpayer money to solve a problem which does not exist. If "sustainability" is such a huge problem in this country, how about writing a piece supporting the elimination of immigration into Australia? But you won't do that because it might inconvenience the third world minorities who all want to live in a western country, a situation you support.

These authors seem distressed that ordinary people go to work and earn money which they spend on consumer goods that make them happy. Isn't that just terrible? Better that the public should be taxed until they can no longer afford to buy anything, so that the public service can expand forever until it regulates every aspect of human society.

All the usual trigger words such as "sustainability" and "equality", as are calls to a higher Quixotic morality, are used to justify this blatant self interest. Sorry girls, your little PR exercise might work with the young and naive, but us older and mature people can see right through it.
