... what I find puzzling is what the Greens actually mean when they discuss "shutting down coal mining" or similar quotes.
... some coal companies I held shares in got sold to Chinese state owned companies ... they mine the coal, export it to China, and keep the profits.
...
Sure royalties or taxes can be raised, but I would not want to be the person trying to tell China that any serious restriction would be placed on coal extraction (that they need) from Australia by Chinese owned companies.
Good luck with that one
Very interesting Bandicoot. Concrete barges are hardly natural environment....they say that the lower SA lakes (alexadria)section of the river system is dying....but fail to mention these lakes were originally salt water esturies that were only altered by the building of the massive concrete barrages in 1930s to keep the seawater out of the lakes so as to change them to freshwater lakes...the water loss from evaporation of these shallow lakes is 1800 gigs per year (3x sydney harbours) of freshwater, that now comes from upstream sources, that should naturally be seawater...
Noco,
Stop spouting rubbish. Communism's day in the sun was half a century ago. No one takes it seriously any more.
Or do you think they are all such twisted individuals that they sought out leadership of the country just so that they could take delight in its destruction?
Closer to the truth is that the Greens are pursuing their idiological beliefs at the expense of Australia's economy.Or do you think they are all such twisted individuals that they sought out leadership of the country just so that they could take delight in its destruction?
Sure, Noco. I can answer all of those questions.
My answer is because they are a hopeless, incompetent government.
And your answer is because they are all communists hell-bent on destroying Australia.
You haven't actually said why they would want to destroy Australia. Is it because they are traitors working for some foreign power who they will run back to when the job is done? Or do you think they are all such twisted individuals that they sought out leadership of the country just so that they could take delight in its destruction?
The Greens have publicly suggested that the CO2 issue may require a suspension of the democratic process or words to that effect. If that's not advocating communism then it's awfully close...Noco,

The implications of 3C, let alone 4C or 5C, are so horrible that we look to any possible scenario to head it off, including the canvassing of “emergency” responses such as the suspension of democratic processes.
Clive Hamilton, a leading Victorian Greenie.......
Political career
Hamilton campaigning in the seat of Higgins in 2009
On 23 October 2009, Hamilton was announced as the Australian Greens candidate for the by-election in the federal seat of Higgins.[14] He ran against nine others for the seat, and came second, receiving 32.40 percent of primary votes and 39.77 percent of preferred votes.[15] The Australian Labor Party did not run a candidate in the election.
Hamilton is a supporter of internet censorship in Australia.[16][17]
I am beginning to believe the Greens have reached their peek and may now be in decline.
With comments like the following, he has perhaps added more coal to the opposition's fire,I saw Bob Brown on Insiders this morning, I never saw a man more confident of getting Labor to do his bidding. He speaks as though he is also spokesman for Labor
Greens leader Bob Brown says ultimately the carbon price has to result in shutting down the coal industry.
"I would not figure that in because they are so highly profitable. But, that has to be the outcome ... the coal industry has to be replaced by renewables," he said.
