The Fabians like to think they have weaned themselves off loopy half Green ideas,  but when it comes to the crunch,  they and their mates still  think negative -big time (reactionary thing?)  They are amongst the worry warriors.  There is jobs in the environment and thinking negatively about it  - As reactionaries , they struggle to be positive and productive.
They take on jobs that are just "takes" drains stuff -  in making  asbestos into new enemy NO1 they may create some cushy new industries but really , the only shame Andrew Leigh in the long term will be yours . Asbestos is , as Malcolm Turnbull says and good greens should know,  a natural product ,  a manageable  risk - not something to make more managers for dealing with it . What a joke - an authority based on no authority . How many unnecessary authorities do  they claim to have created - apart from the new  the ones dealing with our wayward children. No education revolution happening - infact our kids aren't growing up.
Don't do what Worrier warrior Bill ( Do the Math ) did last night on Q&A and talk for scientists when you aren't one . You can turn a serious issue into a farce surrounding YOU . So much for the clever country under Labor and our ABC ( who don't allow debates dominated by scientists -its not a joke!) - all we will get is digging holes and disposal instead of design with nature .
No one should act out of fear or ignorance but Shorten and his mates are doing plenty of that in Parliament today , Sure they  think  they have painted Mr Turnbull into a corner because he likes a glass but doesn't ignore the precious metal , The don't realise it of course , not being scientists ,  they of course are only showing us technoheads are that they are seriously out of their depth - scientist can accept a two horse race , even one allowing for the rank outsider . 
Like the Fabians afore them,  if they think at all , they think simply ; its all about their deep faith in progress - they are progressives , the great God of progress and the new will always save them  .Its eoloving of course but that doesn't worry those in church . Glass today , what air tomorrow . Fickle thy name is Fabian.   They seem to ignore the Creator who believes in easy does it ,diversity and cooperation and change mediation , No good economy is a monotony of form and function- even one that's growing .
