Back on topic, this Great Barrier Reef foundation funding is a ■■■■■■■ disgrace.

I tried to read some Rand once (Atlas Shrugged, I think). I got stuck around page 300, at the end of a fifty page speech.

(For those unaware, 300 pages in is only a quarter of the way…)

Something he picked up from a renewable energy executive whilst holidaying on the Great Barrier Reef.

func fact: healthy coral is a browny/green colour, the bright coral is actually distressed.

A history of Ayn Rand.

  • Oppressed as a youth.
  • Moves to America. Decides: gee, it’s a whole lot more fun doing the oppressing.
  • Gets sick. Abandons every crappy belief she ever had to go on the welfare.

Cairns Tourism Operators Begin Retraining Their Staff For Great Barrier Reef Ghost Tours

A select group of Cairns tourism operators have been praised for their innovation by the Turnbull government today, after it was revealed that certain businesses up north have begun repositioning their services to focus on the death of marine sea-life.

They will be known as the Great Barrier Reef Ghost Tours, in an effort to savour the 56 million dollars that go through the North Queensland economy each year.

“This, this is what I was talking about when I said the age of innovation” said Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

“If the coral dies, and leaves skeletal remains, why not treat the millions of tourists to a spooky night-time tour of what was once the most beautiful natural organism in the world”

“I mean, it’s definitely not as pretty and iconic as it was when I entered politics, but you’ve gotta work with what you’ve got. Just like their counterparts in mining who have to look for coal and gas closer to the coastline and in turn gamble with the possibility of a run-off into the reef”

This follows the endless reports by countless scientists representing both government agencies, charities and educational institutions, who have found that the Queensland and Federal Government’s insatiable desires to continue to mine, drill and burn coal, oil and gas indefinitely will kill the Great Barrier Reef over coming decades

Recent findings by the Government-endorsed economists find that If all the 33,000 Queenslanders employed by the reef lost their jobs today, the state’s unemployment rate would jump from 6.1 percent to 7.4 percent — the highest rate in 25 years.

This comes after countless scientific reports found evidence of severe damage from the back-to-back coral bleaching incidents in 2016 and 2017.

“I think all of our nation’s tourism operators should at least work towards hosting one ghost tour a week.” said Turnbull.

“It’s a great way of paying homage to the once-great Barrier Reef that is dying for reasons that we can’t identify, let alone resolve, not even by donating 444 million tax-payer dollars a random charity of six people that no one else has heard of”

So, we have Labor and the Greens, industry experts and academics all saying wholesale prices will fall with more renewables, we have Turnbull and Frydenberg saying prices will fall by doing nothing and we have Abbott, Kelly and Barnaby saying prices will only fall if there’s more coal. For the lay person who just either takes what they say at face value or doesn’t it’s no wonder people simply tune out on this topic now.

Surely even a lay person can see how dodgy giving $440 Million of tax payers money to basically a fossil fuel lobby group under the guise of protecting the reef, when they buttfuck CSIRO and The marine protection agency is as corrupt as ■■■■.

Its like that bullshit with the NDIS all over again.

From what to what depending on what? if the wind is blowing and how hard.

And if it is so cheap and reliable they won’t want any more subsidies or the proposed inter-connector to NSW.

Explain why SA has the most expensive electricity in the world outside of possibly Denmark and Germany, the two other wind powered dominated countries (with lots of reliable nuclear power from France to fall back on)

SA has the second cheapest in the country after Tasmania.

A history of Karl Marx.

  • Oppressed as a youth.
  • Moves to London, devises a system that will murder 10’s of millions and enslave the rest.
  • Sticks with the most oppressive belief since the feudal system and bludges off his wife and friends.
  • Dies broke and lauded by millions who never lived in a Socialist paradise.

Aw shucks.
Now I’ll have to go and delete all of my stupid Karl Marx quotes.

As long as we are playing biographies.

Cool story, bro.
This keeping you entertained on a Tuesday morning?
This is the best use of your time?

The epic battle between Rand and Marx and in the climate change thread on an Australian football team website?

Let me save you some time.
You win.
Rand was awesome, Marx was stupid.

Huh, I didn’t know that Karl Marx devised capitalism, and I had thought he was a socialist.

Thanks sorfed for straightening this out.
