When not looking after his mates Barnaby knows that the solution to all the worlds problems rest with COAL!
We’ve been through a storm of controversy since the excellent interview with Barnaby Joyce on the ABC. Barnaby the former Minister for Agriculture was also responsible for the Murray Darling Basin Plan Mk 2. This was a much better plan than Murray Darling Mk 1, cos it gave an opportunity for a tax haven Cayman Island registered shelf company to get in on the water game.
It opened up the entire issue to the free market.
What is wrong with this you might say?
Nice LOGO! Deserving of serious taxpayer handouts!
Nothing! The free market is what motivated the most excellently recently deposed Prime Minister Malcolm to throw 500 million to a private company, that are invested with saving the Great Barrier Reef. Much rather a private company be engaged without competitive tender to save our precious natural assets, because they can really get things done.
If you really care about the Environment . GET ANGRY!
Firstly to upgrade their corporate logo. It’s not good having a private enterprise free market organisation sporting a cruddy logo that looks like it was borrowed from Centrelink. Cos you know if it’s a crappy publicly funded institution their t-shirts will not look snappy. Their fluro vests wont look bright and shiny for photo ops, and rich people will not invite you to the best seats at the cricket or the granny. And besides if it’s publicly funded there’s no surety that the funding will go to the right peoples pockets. To spend wisely on executive jets, nice boats, and additional investment properties. And along the way save a critically endangered biota. Public institutions just cant do this because they are not funded properly. They haven’t got access to vast sums of public cash. That’s why it’s best to hand it over the private sector. They’re good with money. They now how to invest in Maseratis. Fine porcelain, and face lifts. Nugget Coombes would roll in his grave. But Nugget didn’t know the difference between a Fiat and a Ferrari. There is no place in todays world for his kind.
If you’re passionate about getting taxpayer funds to fulfil your lifestyle. GET ANGRY!
So it’s good news that Barnaby signed off on a deal to give only a mere 85 million to an offshore Cayman island registered tax dodge company. Bugger the tender process and due process. What the fuck is due process? Only bureaucrats talk like that, and they drive nasty cheap cars like Holdens and Fords. We want action. The company formerly directed by the Minister for Energy, Angus Taylor has a nice logo. And we have been told can provide access not only to the footy and the cricket, but international kudos via access to the Qantas lounge and put its board members in the offing to get an OA for services to the community.
It doesn’t matter that the water buyback concerns the water that might have been there after a one in a thousand year flood. This hypothetical water is good value and demonstrates to the public they’re serious about water. Just as the former Minister is serious about shagging, family values, and staying at his mates place rent free with no favours asked.
That’s above private enterprise and the free market. Thats mateship!
And mateship, like Anzac is untouchable..
Tomorrow we interview Clive Palmer.
