In a few key electorates, yeah, maybe.

Profits are huge, damage is huge!

The other day, I heard someone spruiking that the mining industry was with so much to Australia, and I was thinking how exactly. We'd be better off in many cases if it was left in the ground, if you looked out total outlay to what goes to the people.

lynnettedobson.bsky.social•130 days ago

Oh but less than 1% of the Australian economy does rely on the fossil fuel industry for their profits and the LNP does rely on them for jobs and cash.

There’s proof.

Every damn election cycle. Just ask Gina.

Qld wants a bed tax to ‘makeup’ lost royalties coal. Not sure how this will assist the hospitality industry! Crisafulli needs to consider budget frameworks; Coal a polluting resource that has gone beyond its glory days, income v GBR bleaching (who wants to see) does not conserve asset tourists

grogsgamut.bsky.social•130 days ago

And as we showed- the increased coal royalty did not reduce coal mining

It doesn’t & it never will.

NSW for instance is the third largest coal exporter in the world behind Indonesia & Russia.

They won’t leave, why would they.

A stable democracy, good access to ports, massive profits, licence to destroy & pollute …

And a politician in every pocket.

Hospitality = tourism
The very thing under threat from continued mining and climate damage.

A small media cabal groom & gaslight Australian citizens into believing that the grass is blue & the sky is green because it benefits its billionaire employers. One of them allegedly once said it wasn't in the news business. It was in entertainment. Seems they & their 'clowns' just palmed the USA.

Similarly, I’d love to know how many earn income from NDIS participants. If it was framed that way it might seem like less of a budget issue.

I thought this came to light during covid when Jobkeeper etc payments were introduced. Obviously it needs to be talked about more again.

Another happy contracting industry. Smiles on waiters faces and the chef loves you.

I want to repost this a hundred times.

The mining industry automates as much as they can to pay less in wages

comradedogboy.bsky.social•130 days ago

Oooh! Those cafe owners will be incensed when interviewed for the obligatory piece from MSM.

jimmijames.bsky.social•130 days ago

Oh fuck off.

kate-eviva.bsky.social•130 days ago

So predictably, a tax on the hospitality industry, instead of Fossil fuels, will
lift prices, restrict tourism and cause unemployment in QLD. The higher #emissions & wilder weather will also lift #costs.

fitzroy777.bsky.social•130 days ago

How many people are employed by the mining industry?

pgvdw.bsky.social•130 days ago

On a similar note, why the fk is #ClivePalmer offering to pray for poor people on behalf of Mineralogy?

oldlights.bsky.social•128 days ago

Donations are even bigger …… got to love Australia’s system of legalised bribery

Hi Greg, Ketan,
Love your work.
Any chance you could do the same for the Salmon industry in Tasmania?
We are told that Tasmania would collapse without the Salmon industry.
Pushing my luck, I know, forestry? Same deal with its apparent importance.
