Hi WTF,

You are arguing with a bunch of "flat earth" people, who are captives of a political rabble that opposes the science of climate change, and use it as a weapon to attack those they philosophically oppose, ie Progressives.

You posted; "So it appears that Graham's default position is that industry organisations should stand up against government regardless of the policy. I would suggest that industry and government being constantly opposed to each other would benefit neither."

People like Graham believe Capitalists must always support their vested interest, that being the profit motive, and always oppose governments that don't put their interests first. Also GY is personally supported by Big Coal as we know, biased in the extreme, so what else would he say.

Paul1405,
Just like Paul1405 believes the revenue created by those who work must always be for the benefit of those who choose no effort to contribute.
Reward for effort is what makes a society, reward for no effort is what breaks it !

Indy,

"Reward for effort is what makes a society, reward for no effort is what breaks it !" That may be true, how do you class those receiving aged welfare, being rewarded for no effort for 20 or 30 years. You for example, there is no way society could support you for all these years on welfare, based on your so called "contribution", if that was the case you'll be getting a pension of 50c a fortnight, no over $30,000 per year!
