This statment by the CEO of the Business Council Association is exactly what our #AlboPM is parroting publically:

“Mr Black gave evidence to the Senate inquiry on its second day of public hearings, arguing a levy would be “counterproductive” at a time when Australia needs more investment. […] Energy investors are like butterflies – if they are scared, they fly away,” he said, citing the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA).”

Which, of course, is absolute BS. All that investors need for incentive is a sound #BusinessCase that promisses #Profit. ANY PROFIT above the #CashRate will do. It doesn’t have to be the promisse of #Pilfering or #Sacking an economy FFS. ANy fool understands this. WHY doesn’t the #PM get it? If #AlboPM is not fool (and I have no reason to think he is), then HE IS COMPLICIT in the rape and sacking of the country by #Multinationals and the #ExtractiveIndustries - pure and simple (Because based on numbers, it’s not about jobs). And the #NationalSecurity ballon won’t fly here either.

I’m getting fed up hearing this neoliberal lie over and over and over again…

A quotation from Robert Bolt

YEVGRAF: I told myself it was beneath my dignity to arrest a man for pilfering firewood. But nothing ordered by the Party is beneath the dignity of any man. And the Party was right: one man desperate for a bit of fuel is pathetic; five million people desperate for fuel will destroy a city.

Robert Bolt (1924-1995) English dramatist
Doctor Zhivago, film (1965)

Bexos’ Folly
three more pillars
1) #Pilfering from and harming hardworking American people
2) #Plundering, laying waste to Our National Lands for for oligarchical orgy
3) Incinerating the Earth’s Climate in one suicidal blow

It’s best to avoid taking things away from Uluru (Australia), Pompeii (Italy), Iona (Scotland), Mauna Kea (Hawaii), or any other revered site.
