Haha yes, I wish it was just le simple standard size print paper, but no, that is just a symptom...
I can't believe the entire paper industry in this country has become so fucking weak that it is about to collapse, because of fucking sugar gliders...
Sugar gliders. In plantation forests.
I'm sure that's not the real reason (I am almost 100% certain, at this point, that Australia has deliberately destroyed the entire manufacturing industry/sector), but it just shows the patent absurdity of it...
Of course the fuckwits who voted for this waited until we were no longer making disposable masks (not out of the same substance, necessarily, but you get the idea), because that would just be too obvious, and too hypocritical...
Apparently this move will massively increase carbon emissions, too (because it all needs to be imported now), and of course, if your buying the paper in from China or Malaysia (v likely), environmental standards are guaranteed to be lower, than the equivalent local production...
It's actually insane. Like, god help us.
Anyway, sorry to get all serious. I just can't believe the utter stupidity (in reality, malice, but they're pretending it's stupidity) of this decision, really...
I can believe the maliciousness of this decision. Victorian Labor had its own foreign policy putting it in bed with our enemies. Destroying Australian jobs to benefit China is exactly what I'd expect out of them.
Yes, this was almost exactly what I said when discussing this with someone offline, earlier…
I also suspect that is the case, here, even if the Speccy author is too naïve, or perhaps too scared of being sued, to outright say that…
But I 100% agree that both Labor and the Greens almost certainly had that in mind, when this decision was made…
Hell, I remember a decade ago, the Wilderness Society was deliberately and actively campaigning on behalf of Malaysian timber companies, to destroy the local industry (in Tasmania. Very successfully, I might add), in order to increase imports instead…
This has been a very long game. But I really don’t think most people who support and/or donate to these organizations realize that…
In case anyone is interested, Graeme Wood and Jan Cameron (of the clothing company Kathmandu) are both v corrupt, v wealthy individuals who I’m quite sure get backing from hostile regimes…
Their combined power is enough to get decisions like this one over the line. Not even kidding.
A modern version of the Rockefellers, if you will. Or obviously Bill Gates, but in a different arena…
After all, ‘twas Jane Goodall who said 90% human depopulation is “needed” to save the planet!
I fucking hate these old environmentalists…
Stick to saving old growth forests and hugging chimps, you fucking psychopaths…
