A WWF expert was given prime time press on Seven TV last week to advocate for more big trees for Koalas after wildlife losses during the drought. Pity he had not done his homework .
Koala habitat in Australia has been decreasing simply because young eucalyptus stands have become rare . The ignorant adoption of the blinkered Greens policy of no harvesting and little regeneration, as well as the retention of all things old or nearly dying ( old growth forests policies extended to all trees ) is the basis. Instead of a big picture policy which recognises the need for regeneration Australians have suffered 2 decades of a blinkered policy of retaining trees at all costs . Both parties have failed to reform the Native Vegetation retention provisions in planning schemes- pathetic nonsense .
As well of course ,there is a real market out there for soft toys and self righteous banter about what others are doing wrong Greenlabor tap that sort of empty fluff well .
Time the government stopped green groups from posing as charities . Well put on @abclandline this week in relation to groups against modern agricultural practice. The country doesn't benefit from patronising simplicities and the koalas in particular will NOT benefit from same old same old WWF misplaced ads on their behalf . More money for misaligned mischief. The country does benefit from training its young people to advise competently on the complex matters of environmental management,so why is no party talking about supporting that .
Time the government took the lead in environmental planning by training more young people to overcome popular ignorance.
Koalas, unlike the bleeding hearts brigade, are not stupid , They don't want old trees ( and Greens old growth forest talk) as the free plug on Seven News said ( yesterday)
They prefer young leaves and the regeneration processes that the death denying left have instituted in their "retention at all cost " policies for nature. Greenlabor , like their objects of worship, should be placed in museums while we get on with living with nature .
Give our farmers a break from their careless criticism .
.This simple sanctimony is what gives Green labor their lovely soft edge; They aren't known for knowing what they are doing but they come across as caring . But its more than that The "confounded by their own limits" types are just for stating in simplest of terms what the doers of the world are doing wrong. Greenlaborites are not only reactionaries , they simply refuse to think in the real world of tooth and claw, yin and yan and working with nature . Armchair idealists .
When the opposition parties spend their time chasing Green labors
pedantic little arguments around, they too can forget that the big picture is owned by someone with their feet firmly on the groun
PICTURE The ultimate treehuggers , Without a real home yet and hoping like hell they can hang on I'm not talking koalas but those who feel more than they think about
habitat and how to make it comfortable
In case you missed it prominent former Green used the word Sanctimonious about the group she decided to leave - good on her
Most of you know what I mean .
