Suicide by cr*p. . .

I can’t quite believe it – still feeling dizzy – a few sensible comments bubbling forth from the Federal branch of the Australian Labor Party (and the Member for Batman, no less)? Is it possible? Could the world have tipped on its axis quite this much?

Martin Ferguson: Embrace clean energy and supply uranium

. . .Australia's relatively high energy intensity has to be considered in the context of the country's size and its relatively low population density, its climate, its heavy reliance on coal for power generation, and the presence of energy-intensive industries such as aluminium which form the backbone of the nation's wealth-generation capacity.
Danger, Martin Ferguson, danger. Rabid Leftist, holding ‘Sign Kyoto Now’ placard, approaching from the South West. . .

That is why it is a significant achievement of the Asia-Pacific Partnership's first meeting that the aluminium industry in the member countries reached an agreement on working together to reduce emissions. This is essential to overcome the problem of simply shifting emissions from one country to another and at the same time shifting Australian manufacturing jobs and prosperity offshore, to countries with lower environmental standards.
Dead man walking. Dead man walking here. . .

It is extraordinary that the Greens could place the economic security and jobs of their constituents at risk and at the same time advocate a worse greenhouse outcome by displacing Australian industry to countries with lower standards.
Extraordinary? Martin, thinking is not really what the Greens do - oh, sorry - shouldn’t interrupt - I’m enjoying this far too much. . .

It's time to abandon the political correctness espoused by the green movement.
Okay - now I get it - it’s a death wish! In the US, under certain specific circumstances, I understand they call it ‘suicide by cop’. Here, given it will be some slavering, left wing activist mung bean stalking and finally ending old Martin, I shall call it ‘suicide by crap. . .’

The environmentalists are simply attacking the coal industry for the sake of it. Labor supports our aluminium and coal industries in their endeavours to develop lower emissions technologies. They are our big export earners, creating jobs and wealth for this country, and without economic prosperity no government can pay for the social and environmental welfare measures so vigorously demanded by the Greens.
Okay, only time will really tell as to whether or not Martin actually means this (and wants to die by slow garrotting at the next caucus meeting), or has suddenly come down with the Leftist’s version of Tourette coprolalia. . .
