'Big Mother'

Consider the following statement, out of the rabid mouth of Robert Manne (a so-called public intellectual?):

"For the rest of my life — and for the rest of my children’s lives — the issue will be whether humans have the capacity to act on climate change, it seems to me. I don’t think any other issue is even remotely as significant now.”

Of course no other issue is as important to those of his ilk...this whole apocalyptic approach is custom built for the closet totalitarianist to manipulate, through fear, the naive majority into giving away their freedoms and the free market economy to settle for 'Big Mother', that is; a government that cuddles, smothers and looks after all your needs (even ones you never realised you had)! All very comfortable until you disagree with Her dictates at which time she generally turns into the 'Big Shrew' and wallops you back into line. (You can check out but you can never leave!)

Fortunately the voters appear to have woken up to the reality that Utopian dreams such as those which the communist/socialist/Greens have promulgated all carry with them dire 'unintended consequences' such as economic disaster and its subsequent food, shelter and comfort deficiencies.

I trust we as an intelligent citizenry might roundly kick out this inept government and its potentially catastrophic ideologies at the next election, and regain the path to prosperity and a quiet and peaceful existence for the foreseeable future.
