Dear Editor,
Murray Schneider (NT News 30th November, 2010) like many youngish modern-day “environmentalists” makes the silly and totally incorrect assumption that people who were born in the immediate post war years (1945-1960) are not concerned about Australia’s natural environment.
What Murray and so many of his ilk obviously forget is that without a well-managed, productive, low-debt economy, the environment will eventually come off second best in any list of government spending priorities.
After Julia Gillard and the other economy wreckers in all Labor states and territories have once again taken Australia back to bankrupt, basket-case status (like Greece, Ireland, Portugal etc) through their massive unnecessary spending and atrocious management, does Murray really believe anyone will want funds allocated to such esoteric pursuits as “tackling” the theory of “man made climate change” - especially when Australia contributes only 1.5% of total world carbon dioxide emissions?
Only responsible economic managers, such as the former Howard/Costello government, can ever hope to achieve a high level of environmental outcomes whilst at the same time ensuring a good standard of living for all citizens with competitive prices for gas, electricity and water.
The Greens and their fellow travellers in the Labor Party will only ever be able to provide a warm-inner-glow for those folk, like Murray, who choose to believe in some socialist Utopia where the theory of Gaia is the guiding light.
Yours truly,
Dave Wane
