Thoughts on the Batman by-election and the South Australian election.
I see 39.7% of first preferences at Batman were for the Greens.
Yet the Greens are –
[1] against the dams which are the foundation of your water supply –
[2] pushing for more expensive & unreliable electricity from non-viable sources – and
[3] Are generally anti our resources industry which pays most of the nations bills.
[4] want to flood the country willy-nilly with migrants who have little in common with our society.
The wet and sad sack GreenLaborLite Sth Aust Liberals finally look like limping into power again after 16 years of gerrymanders and rats deserting the side. The mess left by Labor could take a decade to fix. So Liberal plans involve copying Labor grid connected batteries, an interconnector with NSW and a 10 year fracking ban – stone the crows. More money wasted without generating a watt.
Do they not realize that NSW is a big importer of electricity from Qld?
It is interesting to note that at the 2010 election the Sth Aust Libs won 51.6% of 2PP votes and in 2014 they won 53%. So it could be said Labor has been in power the last 8 years under false pretences – certainly the last 4.

Meet the new boss – same as the old boss.
Cassandra pointed out quite some years back that the electorate was never offered a real choice and will not be. The Brexit lesson (never ask the lumpenproles a real question) was well learnt by the self-appointed “elites”.
And Cassandra was accused of cynicism then, of course. Yet, look where we are now. People are just not too smart.
I’ve always found it amazing how few Greens live in the natural environment, and how few people that do live in the environment vote Greens.
