Warren Mundine, new Liberal candidate, makes it clear that he is pro coal and nuclear, and anti environment

Warren Mundin’s article appeared today in the Daily Telegraph. It is behind a paywall. In the Herald Sun, extreme right wing writer Andrew Bolt obligingly supplied extracts from it, and rejoiced in Mundine’s anti-environment stand.

MUNDINE’S LIST OF GREEN SABOTAGE Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun January 24, 2019 Warren Mundine, the former Labor president who is now the Liberal candidate for Gilmore, lists just some of the damage done by Greens whose ignorance is even greater than the self-importance that drives them:

Green activists are fighting mining, industry and agriculture every step of the way, … often with funding from foreign organisations and wealthy elites with deep pockets…

ACF and GetUp! are trying to prevent North Queensland’s Carmichael mine — even though it’s passed all environmental hurdles… It will create thousands of jobs and business opportunities, especially for local Aboriginal people and Townsville…

Just look at the damage done by green activists and politicians to South Australia, now our poorest state. They have banned GM food crops, blocked development of a world-class nuclear waste facility, destroyed coal-fired power stations and restricted exploration for coal-seam gas. Nuclear power is also banned.

All of these policies are based on irrational green fears. Coal-fired power is not causing dangerous global warming, coal-seam gas extraction techniques are safe, nuclear waste dumps operate safely, and nuclear power stations safely producing low-emissions power around the world.

Sadly, though, we’re increasingly putting our future in the hands of wilfully ignorant scaremongers and mystics…..
