By their own economic standards, the Liberal-Labor duopoly, the Business Council, the mining industry, right wing political parties and their media supporters have all failed the people of South Australia.
The “get-rich-quick at any cost” mentality has been proven to be the wrong approach to ecological and economic sustainability but business and political interests still persist in promoting high-risk, capital-intensive, grandiose schemes.
A large number of diverse, labour intensive projects provides built-in insurance against the sort of catastrophic failure that has dogged the car and mining industries.
Despite prominent failures of the “big is beautiful approach” the same discredited groups are now pushing for an even bigger basket to put all their eggs by turning South Australia into the world’s radioactive cesspool, an action formerly reserved for impoverished third world countries desperately trying to drag themselves out of their colonial past.
