I read a meme on Facebook that said the only thing between us and extinction is a six inch layer of topsoil, sunlight and rain.
Then I read the US are planning on block the sun’s rays and the Australian government is allowing coal companies to destroy our farming land for the coal underneath it.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I read about the deformed babies being born in Iraq after exposure to depleted uranium munitions.
Then I hear of the Australian government letting the US Navy bombard our coast with depleted uranium munitions during war games.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I see a video of a mother turning on her kitchen tap, holding a lighter to it and the gas in the water catching alight from the water polluted by gas fracking.
Then I read of the Australian Labor Party promising to spend AU$1.5 BILLION dollars to build a pipeline to transport fracked gas from the Northern Territory.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I hear of generous welfare amounts being given to migrants who have (and in some cases will never) contribute to this country.
Then I hear from a mate in his 70s how difficult it is for social workers to find accommodation for people like him and how the social worker tells him she cries sometimes at the injustice of the system grossly favouring migrants rather than people who have worked and paid their taxes for 40+ years.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I hear of our farmers, desperate for water.
Then I hear of Adani polluting with their operations, being given approval despite not satisfying ecological requirements, illegally drilling prior to approval and the danger their coal mine presents to the Great Barrier Reef, the billions of litres of water that will be used by them without payment, depriving our farmers of much needed water.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I read about the Vietnamese civilians born with deformities and the US troops with health issues after exposure to Agent Orange and the same company that made it being successfully sued for their glyphosate containing weedkiller, Roundup, causing cancer and the WHO calling glyphosate a probably carcinogen.
Then I read the US EPA preparing to allow it to continue to be sold AND IT STILL BEING ALLOWED TO BE SOLD HERE IN OZ.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I hear the Liberal Party claiming their great management of the economy.
Then I hear the coutry is in more debt than we have ever been and we have more than 30% of people over 65 living on or below the poverty line.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I see a whistleblower video of organ harvesting from live patients, apparently state sanctioned in China. So you can appreciate their respect for the value of human life is a tad less than you and I might want it to be. I read of the food reserve buffer in the world shrinking which makes us more vulnerable to crop failures.
Then I hear we have sold a huge quantity of a farmland and infrastructure to Chinese interests with government approval. And I wonder, “What would happen if there was a crop failure in China? What if a significant portion of our local crop was just shipped offshore without us getting any?”
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I hear of African migrants forming gangs and terrorising honest, law abiding citizens in their own homes and on the streets and still allowed to stay here. I here of other migrants brought before the courts on sexual assault charges and not even serving jail terms because it was due to cultural differences.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
We have an election coming up in a couple of weeks. Please think about these points (and probably others you have in mind) before doing the same old, same old and voting Greens, Labor, Liberal or Nationals. They are the architects of the above insanities.
And Clive Palmer wants to give one of the great polluters of the world the go ahead to mine coal and potentially destroy the Great Barrrier Reef. We can do better than that Clive!

CEC are dead against the criminal bankers and thier parliamentary coconspiritors stealing your bank deposits with bail in legislation.
Liberal Democrats are for more personal freedoms than the majors. Here’s one person’s take on it:
