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…
