If you want a real guide to what a future Abbott federal government will look like. Feast your eyes on the festering shit, that the eastern states liberal party controlled state governments are. Earth fuckers extraordinaire. In Queensland, in the top end, over two million hectares of old growth and recovering wilderness have been opened up to logging, mining and grazing interests. Farmers have been given the go ahead to graze their cattle in Five national parks. Newman (premier of QLD) even made a promise before the state election not to do this kind of shit but he did. He even promised not to cut the public service now look what happened there. Will he, like Gillard who too went back on a promise and suffer electorally. To the point she lost her job to Rudd. I'm holding my breath. Victoria has effectively closed down the wind turbine industry with its questionable ban on any wind turbines needing to be at least two kilometers from any residence. There is even a policy in the right wing public policy (Both Abbott's, Gina's and Rupert's favorite think tank) institute to develop the Franklin dam.
Yet the cruncher of all is the proposal by the Queensland, Victorian and the New South Wales state governments, to opening up national parks to mining, housing and farming, logging and shooting an four wheel drive bashing. Fracking and so many other earth destroying proposals.
We all know the liberals have nearly always sided with industry against the greenies but these proposals take earth fucking to a brand new level. An the only ones standing in their way are the so called worse government ever, Federal Labor. Never before has a choice being so clear. Regardless of what you think of the carbon tax or Rudds ETS ( Both imperfect but a start in my books). Even if Abbott is not going to be as radical as those of us on the left fear. He is not going to stand in the way of these crazy right wing maverick state governments. Firstly because he belongs to the same party as them but mainly because they will get the blame and the fall out electorally due to the utter craziness of the proposals. I hope.
Clearly only a Federal Labor government will at least garentee that theses brain dead policies don't see the light of day. Already, due too these crazy state government proposals, Federal Labor is extending the power of the commonwealth to stop them.Yes I am a die in the wool greens/labor supporter. An my views have bias but fuck never before has the choice being so clear. If you hate the planet and don't give a fuck about nature and our kids future. Vote Abbott if not vote for labor and if you really want to be sure vote green fist then labor
I actually at this point feel sorry for Abbott. He so wants it. His precious. To be the Prime Minister of Australia. Look at how many push ups he can do and wow he can ride a bike and swim. Have a chat to independent Tony Winser about his passion for the PM's Job. Something about being willing to sale his grandmother or something. You know till this point I had been resigning my self to the inevitable. Thinking that in at least the first term his government will not be that bad. Probably to the right of labor but not goose stepping right. We hope. The problem is probably not going to be Abbott but all those loose cannons behind him. Remember the Victorian proposal to privatise the ABC and SBS. Well they are the ones who floated the idea publicly not my side of politics.
Those Eastern states brain dead's. Make even Collin Barnett, WA's Premier, look reasonable. Yes he fought tooth and nail for James Price Point gas hub and Roe 8 is an environmental disaster in the making but fuck even he is not so brazen and earth fucking mad to propose opening up national parks to mining, housing and farming, logging and shooting an four wheel drive bashing. Fracking and so many other earth destroying proposals. (Yes Fracking is going to be allowed but as far as I am aware not in national parks) What is the point of those parks but to keep certain crucial places free of such destructive activity.
Talk about turning back the clock. This isn't going back to the 50's this goes back to the early colonies time. Before we even federated and formed a nation. I'm talking pre 1890's. They are doing this probably to appease the deeply redneck shooters and fisher's party voters and the goose stepping one nation freaks. Sad isn't it the state of our current politics.
I know now I need to stop Abbott and so do you. Please share this article to your friends. We have got to use what little power we have in the vote to put an end to this madness.
