The author of chaos

Politically, the question raised in this excerpt will be familiar to many Australians...think NBN, mining tax, global warming tax, school building program and of course the deadly insulation scheme...to mention a FEW!
‘The question of course is how could such absurd decisions have been made to begin with? Were there no experts involved in the planning of the new power generation infrastructure? The answer obviously is no. Power executives are viewed as evil, dirty and greedy polluters, and thus were never really consulted. They could not be counted on to give the politically correct solutions. Therefore the decision to shut down the German nuclear power plants and to massively support renewables was done unilaterally by the government, without consulting the power executives or even neighboring countries.’
Bureaucrats who really believe that they know more than all 'others', that they alone occupy the 'moral high ground', and that they in their collective 'wisdom' are going to usher in the new Utopian dream of a perfect world.
Such misguided hubris! Such narcissistic blindness! Such petty stupidity!
"I beseech you my brothers, remain faithful to the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes! Poison mixers they are, whether they know it or not.”
(Thus spoke Zarathustra!)
