By Viv Forbes, published 15/8/2019

History shows that a much smaller population could indeed survive in Australia without using mineral hydrocarbons, but life with zero man-made emissions would be grim.

diver dan,
The Greed megalomaniacs sabotage the running of it but it's the minimum wage blue collar brigade that keeps it running !

Sorry individual, you are wrong about that.

Without the bloke who dreamed up the project, & the one who organised the finance, with the one who designed the infrastructure, the welders who built it, & the very well paid blokes who put it together, there are no jobs for your minimum wage bunch.

We no longer have minimum wage wharfies, we have a few grossly over paid wharfies, but mostly we have very well paid crane drivers, or similarly well paid engineers maintaining the conveyer systems.

Truck drivers, & factory maintenance staff are earning well over the average wage, hell it was the high cost of assembly line workers that drove the car companies out of Oz.

Today it is the private industry office workers & retail staff that are the bottom of the heap, not the blue collar blokes. That's why the girls today want in on the blue collar stuff.

Ok, let's see how all these people do their jobs once the canteen ladies stop dishing up their meals ! In fact the many faceless workers who are vital yet mostly unrecognised cogs on the gear wheels of every industry. The un-sexy ones !
