How to create a country with no heart? : Comments

By Viv Forbes, published 21/6/2019

Why is every proposal to develop an outback mine, dam, irrigation scheme or a real power station now labelled 'controversial' by the ABC and opposed by the ALP/Greens?

Go straight to the last paragraph, which says it all, and says it well.

Kogan Creek Nathan's Gorge Viv. New mines? Is that as far as the limits of your perceived self-interest goes? Same old same old tired and visionless me, me, arguments?

Projects need to be funded and eventually create a return and some profit for the lending entity/entities! And as a nation, we are hopelessly mired in personal and foreign debt.

We could get around that by selling the joint to China and then become poverty-racked tenants (most of us) in our own land! And because of a mindless, maniacal, stubborn, heartless refusal by those with the power to impose real reform!?

Choose not to but prevaricate with empty promises to retain their plum jobs/hold on power!

When we are a nation crying out for unifying and transformative reform of our tax system and energy and water supply paradigms. A flat unavoidable tax, every boy and his dog pay and inevitable nuclear power. plus the preferencing of employee/shareholder owned operated co-ops.

In the sure and certain knowledge that this free market, private enterprise, ultra-efficient extremely productive UNION FREE business model, stood almost alone, as the only business model, to largely survive the Great Depression mostly intact!

Moreover, where they dominate the local business landscape, oblige every one dollar to do the economic work of seven, via the usual economic flow-on factors!

Yes the ABC is overwelmingly burdened with incorrect Leftwing Greenie delusions that most Australians rate climate change priorities over all other priorities (including jobs).

Hence the ABC gives undue airtime to the Green's No-new mining (Bob Brown's Poor Little Birdies...[1]) No-new Power station positions.

The May 2019 Election (including the anti-Green/anti-Labor backlash in Qld) was effectively a referendum refuting the ABC's pet presumptions.

the inner city elite are so obsessed with homosexuality, gender bender stuff that they need to virtue signal to cover their inner corruption. They love marching off to protests with their mobile phones (made from mining), their lattes (from farming), their rainbow flags (perversion of true diversity) and think they can change then climate. What a deluded bunch!

So now we have a bunch of greenie lefty children, who's education was paid for coal & iron ore miners miners, blocking the streets of Brisbane.

Time to get serious with this disruptive element. We need a couple of tankers with high powered hoses to wash this rubbish off the street & into the sewers where they belong.

It is about time to take the kid gloves off, & show them that this rubbish will not be tolerated.

If any of them ever did something as hard as a bit of high school physics, they should know that every action has an equal & opposite reaction, & their mindless stupidity will bring out water cannon to wash the stupidity away.
