AAhh brother nice post
I'll suggest another story.In the film 'Children of the Revolution" Judy Davis's characters child, is talked about worryingly by its teacher as "having Ideas"... It's the Ideas that worry you guys isn't it , and your inability to intellectually in-gauge with them, so you label it 'Radical' 'Socialist' so you can put it in a box so it's not so scary.'
I'll suggest another story.
Animal Farm.

Given the efforts of those who want to do exactly that, drain it, over the years I'd say my point is entirely relevant and not obfuscating anything.That the flooding of Lake Pedder was a good Idea. Where not talking about the draining of it as Smurf wants to obfuscate.
Because Pedder was important, it was "A Bridge To Far"
Presuming we're talking about the same book/film, Your suggesting that the Australian populace will be incited to violent revolution by an intellectual clique, with the promise of a release from authoritarian persecution, only to end up in a situation as bad if not worst than their current predicament, as the ruling clique become our tyrannical overlords.
Doctor, I can only hope that your on medication not prescribing it. Paranoid delusions of this scale are in need of treatment
And just for the record, Nail your colours to the mast and state just so we know, That the flooding of Lake Pedder was a good Idea. Where not talking about the draining of it as Smurf wants to obfuscate.

Oh and that homophobic reflex calliope, It's telling. You might want to sit through 'Romper Stomper" with someone capable of explaining some of that pertinent simple subtext.

I politely suggest that the 2% of Australians who live in Tasmania have already paid a hugely disproportionate share of the cost of protecting Australia's natural wonders.If it ever is drained it won't be done for economic or emissions reasons, It will be done to rectify a wrong, and only because there is a cost. Your punished so you don't make the same mistakes again.
No.
Just that socialism/communism doesn't work.
It goes against against our natural competitiveness (natural selection).

"Based on the 10 per cent share [in 2004] of the national vote most opinion polls currently award the Greens, it is reasonable to wonder: As Tasmania has gone, so goes Australia?..
..These were the things Brown and Singer [in 1996] declared the Greens to be against:
Cars and highways: Trains and trams are okay but walking and cycling are best.
Dams and irrigation: The natural flow of rivers needs to be restored.
People having more money than the average person needs: Radical tax reform linked to a “guaranteed adequate income scheme” would fix that.
The World Trade Organisation and free trade: There should be no trade on even terms with countries whose industries sys*tematically damage the environment or which exploit labour.
The capitalist free market: Unregulated, it is a ruthless force “that sweeps aside all traditional ways of living that stand in the path of a relentless drive for profit”.
Too much work: The working day should be of six hours at most, and annual holidays doubled or trebled. This would eliminate unemployment and give everybody time with their families, and time to continue their education, go for walks and grow their gardens.
The United States: It’s a source of evil, from soap operas to greed.
Agribusiness: Keeping chickens and pigs in permanent indoor confinement should be banned, and cattle, sheep and other grazing animals removed from arid and semi*arid regions.
Psychotherapy: Needed now because people don’t believe in God but unnecessary when they embrace Green ethics.."
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/mining-energy/farmers-fight-mine-but-horse-has-bolted/story-e6frg9df-1226311867381The rolling cattle and cropping country around Wandoan has become a battleground of the competing interests to produce wealth from mining, food from the land and to abate Australia's greenhouse contribution.
Caught in the middle are life-long farmers such as Pat Devlin, 61, who last night vowed to stay put after the Queensland Land Court ruled to allow multinational Xstrata to press on with the huge coalmine that will border his property. "We're going to sit it out right here," he said. "If they do start mining, we will be pushing as hard as we can to make sure they meet the environmental conditions . . . they are not going to shut us up."
Well in this instance we should support them anyway.
.The case in the Land Court, brought by eight landholders including Mr Devlin and Mr Erbacher and backed by the Friends of the Earth conservation group, turned on the proposition that the mine should be stopped because of its climate change implications
I'm not saying all mining is bad, just that tighter restrictions in some areas should be enforced
It's obvious I don't like the greens, support their mantra or encourage anyone to vote for them. But something needs to be done about it and whatever ammo they have to use, so be it. At times you have to look past the political ideology of the group and support something that will in fact benefit the country in the long term. I'm sure even Alan Jones jumped into bed with them on this issue (not sure on that so don't quote me).The Greens couldn't give a stuff about protecting arable land. They are manipulating the landholders to push their global warming agenda.

Agreed. Farming is forever , mining is eventually just a hole in the ground
