IGNORE HISTORY AND REPEAT YOUR FUTURE

This is just another ploy by the 'elites' (and I use that term facetiously) to impoverish the everyday working people of Australia so that they can be the aristocracy in a new feudal empire:

AUSTRALIA has developed a death wish. Why this green mania to make us poor?
On Wednesday, Victorian Premier Daniel ­Andrews announced he would permanently ban fracking for coal-seam gas.
Even conventional gas drilling — done safely here for half a century — would be banned to at least 2020.
Andrews could point to not a scrap of credible science to back these bans.
He cited only the fear spread by green alarmists: “This is the first ban of its kind anywhere in our nation and it just speaks volumes to the dangers, the uncertainty and the anxiety within the Victorian community about fracking.”
This is not the first time a state has banned a safe technology at a big cost to jobs and wealth.

Unfortunately for them it is impossible for civilisational aspirations to go backwards; which means that the inevitable result of such a Utopian vision will be resistance ending in chaos which is precisely what the manipulators of Marxist theory have intended.

The logical and historical end to chaos has always been dictatorship.
