Australia stands proud!
Today the minister for Innovative Environment, Mr Greg Hunt, deeply concerned, “ as we all are” praised the Queensland government in its approval of the Adani Coal mine.
Australia’s biggest ever coal project will provide certainty to the coal sector and be a boon for jobs. Decrying an attempt by conservationists and traditional owners to stall the approval process, the minister pointed to the many positives that will flow as a consequence of certainty in the coal sector. ‘The world is at the crossroads and Australia is proud at the removal of biotic structural inhibitors to economic development . These inhibitors are holding us back. Thankfully with the ‘Ideas Boom’ we can see that the worlds biggest reef system now cleansed of coral will open up a new era for the real driver of the Australian economy. Sustainable real estate development’.
The Minister was ebullient, ‘without the reef we will now soon have the worlds longest continuous surf beach. You thought the Gold Coast was big, but that will be just a proverbial drop in the ocean’, (much laughter).
To thunderous applause he outlined the plan, ‘What does Australia need ? Certainty! What does Australian industry need, (whisper from minder), ..Well what does what’s left of Australian industry need? Certainty! What does our development industry need, Certainty? And what does our tertiary education sector, world leaders in visa conversions and internationally recognised logos require? Certainty? And what have we learned from the most recent COAG meeting?
The only way the states can pay for the way we changed health, education and infrastructure funding without prior discussion and sent their budgets spiraling, is to do what Queensland has done. Convert natural systems into viable economic assets. To give the bottom line Absolute certainty.
We need to make tough decisions In Queensland, for too long we’ve been held up by a plethora of green tape, red tape and enviro tape. Now ‘enviro-tape’ is really really messy. You cant touch a tree , kiss a frog, nor fish, hunt, or bulldoze, without getting caught up in enviro tape. We’re sick of it, and as you all know our farmers have been hell bent of removing every last fragment of vegetation before the state bureacrats lock the interior up for ever. Without the reef, we can bring innovation and development to our doorstep. For too long the reef has locked up the coastline. Everyone wants a beachfront, and everyone loves the surf. Now we’ve got it all, these new developments here and here, (shows map) developed from my friends in the Property Council give certainty and employment to the risky business of environmental tourism. This represents the longest continuous chain of residential and resort development. And it’ll be internationally recognised as ‘The Greater Investment Belt. Bit like the ‘sheep-wheat belt’ only Bigger, Better, and longer lasting. I think you’ll find the ‘GIB’ establishes a new identity for Queensland and Australia. We’ve ‘Ideas Boomed’ our focus groups and come up with, ‘Florida Keys West’, ‘Miami East’, the ‘Everglades’, ‘Big Sur’, and in recognition of the complete depletion of native biota within the hinterland, ‘Dallas’.
And there’s a bonus, in recognition of secret clause, 547/23 of the recently signed free trade deal, these resorts will not be constrained by the red tape of workers rights, arbitration and union interference, because the entire apparatus will be run by indentured service workers, defined by our new working visa 417 B, category.
At Dubai, they proved what could be done in developing entire cities without a society, without an ecology and defined by the one percent, who like Shopping!! Now the one percent can travel to the east coast of Australia and enjoy watching the the other 99 percent, working for Australia’s future, their future. This is a high point in Australian tourism, because with the near vertical integration of property and indentured labour we have tangible innovation. Nothing airy-fairy. There’s certainty in Property! And it’s the innovation that counts and I can count, all the way up to ONE!!
