Politicians have given Australia an impossible task – fight a COVID lockup while also enduring a green-energy shakedown.
A COVID depression is already locked in. Recovery dictates that we must reverse the lockdown and also rid our weakened economy of the Green parasites forever sucking our energy.
Australia seems to specialize in political stupidity.
Victoria’s scorched-earth policy has wrecked its economy. Despite this damage, they dream of replacing their nation-building brown-coal electricity with unreliable wind and solar toys.
Their once-free people cower in their homes while police and troops detain peaceful folk and demand papers. COVID will only decline when populations develop immunity. Lockups ensure that community immunity develops slowly.
South Australia has destroyed its manufacturing industry with uncompetitive employment rules and intermittent green energy. They dream of more Big Batteries to keep the lights on.
WA is protected from many Eastern fads and viruses by the mighty Nullarbor Plain. It quietly thanked the hard-working mining industry for funding both state and federal governments.
NT has made anti-fracking for hydro-carbons into an election issue while endorsing bizarre plans to waste billions erecting about 150 square km of solar panels to supply green electricity to Singapore.
This needs 720 km of land transmission feeding a 3,700 km undersea extension cord from Darwin, crossing the deep and unstable Java Trench, to Singapore Island. And for the times that NT is not sunny, it needs humungous battery storage.
Queensland has shut its borders to millions of customers and workers from interstate and overseas while discouraging new mines and reliable power supplies.
NSW is determined to kill coal and gas power with locked gates and bureaucratic obstructions.
Canberra plans to throw billions that it does not have at the Snowy 2 white elephant (a net consumer of both water and electricity) while endorsing industry-killing emissions targets.
The federal government is also undermining the federation with a centralizing “National Cabinet” and has taught a generation of youngsters that they can eat and party without working by getting onto the federal jobs replacement gravy train. Meanwhile, orchardists, farmers, and abattoirs cannot find workers.
Trusting people are mesmerized and traumatized by the COVID scare. Ballooning government debts and looming depression will haunt our children and destroy our savings.
Naturally, alcoholism, gambling, family violence, and mental problems are increasing.
Meanwhile, a smug cohort of people on government salaries, handouts, and safe pensions feels no pain. This includes politicians, the bureaucracy, academia, and the scare-a-day BC.
We need a new Eureka Rebellion dedicated to slashing taxes and government expenditure, opening interstate borders, repealing red and green tape, abolishing all emissions targets, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Dreamworld, and restoring our freedoms and our federation.
Viv Forbes has studied and worked in science, industry, economics, finance, and politics. He has zero vested interests in hydrocarbon fuels except as a consumer but does have a solar panel on his roof.
“the scare-a-day BC” should be “the scare-a-day ABC”.
The ABC has nothing on the Sydney Morning Herald, ala (SMH), should be renamed the Socialist Monologue Hive!
Liberal stupidity there seems to be no end to the liberal stupidity and the stupidity of liberals
“We need a new Eureka Rebellion dedicated to slashing taxes and government expenditure, opening interstate borders, repealing red and green tape, abolishing all emissions targets, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Dreamworld, and restoring our freedoms and our federation.”
This is Trump. And you see how the elites welcomed him with open arms.
“Australia seems to specialize in political stupidity.”
Don’t worry, you don’t have a corner on that market. Europe and the U.S. appear to be just as inept or most likely even more so.
