Lambie is making out that the agriculture land will be forfeited for a coal mine..
The coal mine is in territory not used and cannot be used for agriculture purposes....The mine will only be using 1% of the underground water.......
Where is the conflict?......The farmer is happy as he will receive heaps of dough.
A big beat up by the loonie left and Barnby Joyce and now Tony Windsor wants to get into the act to enhance his bid for reentry into the political scene....Lets not forget Tony Windsor sold his farm to mining interests.
While all eyes were on Bill Shorten at the trade union royal commission, Europe fretted and the Chinese market wobbled and Tony Abbott and his increasingly fractious government had a very odd week.
Before Shorten met Dyson Heydon and Jeremy Stoljar on Wednesday and Thursday, Abbott had been in a supermarket suggesting to reporters that his grocery code of conduct would have prevented the various global market uncertainties.
Yes, I’m afraid he did. He obviously didn’t mean it because what he said was entirely ridiculous. But strange persisted. By week’s end the prime minister was telling the ABC, a broadcaster independent of government, that it needed to move the Q&A program to the news and current affairs division or his ministers would continue to boycott the program.
what was being badged rather lamely by the prime minister’s office as a $4bn spend for the bush was actually a $1bn spend.
To compound indignity one, the prime minister then declined to let Joyce go on Q&A to sell it. (Nobody watches Aunty in the bush, right? Why would it be sensible to flog your wares there?)
Turnbull’s intervention on national security at the Sydney Institute on Tuesday night could not have been more elegant, more reasonable, more forensic, or more devastating.
And there was Abbott, in the middle, with his grocery code, and his silly finger jab at the ABC, while the world around us wobbles.
I would take any articles that Murphy writes and put them in the extreme left basket. You only have to follow a few articles or her twitter feed to see where she stands. Perhaps she would be better off on the ABC.
Liberals are there to benefit big business, that's how it works and has done for many years now.
Coal mines are a bigger business than an individual farm, be it an agricultural farm or a wind farm. Hence coal is more important.
The amount that coal companies are being advantaged makes Shorten's $40k "memory slip" look positively trivial.
The real bribery taking place is by big business to the Liberal Party. Obviously Holden, Ford and Toyota didn't pay enough.

The $80 million spent on the RC into union corruption is trivial in comparison to the $11 billion + wasted by the Green/Labor socialists on open borders.
Shortens $40,000 memory loss????????That is debatable as Bob Hogg commented....Shorten was hoping no one would find out.
What is the relevance of this comparison, except to show your biased view.
The insinuation that RC into union corruption is a waste of money.........And you are trying to tell me the Green/Labor socialist party's expenditure of $11 billion + is for a good cause or was it a waste of money?

The spending of this money insulated Australia from the GFC no matter how much you like to pretend that it never happened.
Trying to justify the RC expense by saying its trivial compared to something else is just a diversionary tactic. Just what good will come out of it for the country ? It's a pointless political exercise.
Spending under the Abbott government is now estimated at 25.9 per cent of GDP, higher than in the last years of Labor, and 2.8 percentage points of GDP higher (about $40 billion-$50 billion) than when the Howard government lost office in 2007-08.
The budget papers show that, measured as a percentage of GDP, spending under the two budget years of the Abbott government - both 25.9 per cent - was exceeded by Labor in only one year: 26 per cent in 2009-10, the year following the GFC spending.
But we've got a budget emergency and there's nothing to worry about an extra $100B in debt, and counting

Well with GDP falling and spending cuts not allowed, that's a no brainer.
The only good thing that is going to happen, is a huge living standard shock, for everyone.IMO
Which, to be completely honest, we need.
Currently everyone thinks they are doing it hard, they are in for a shock.IMO
SE Asian Countries are industrialising and building a tertiary industrial base, this will underpin their standard of living growth.
The flip side of this, our underpinning economy is becoming more primary and secondary industry, which sooner or later will be reflected in our standard of living.
The U.K went through this in the 60's and 70's, their saving grace was a small country with a large population, we don't have that luxury.
