Who is unethical? The protestors are fighting for our environment, for our future! They often DO have jobs, but they take a pay cut rather than allow the destruction of our forests. Talk to the logging contractors, find out what they think instead of bleating the usual regurgitated Labor/union garbage. The contractors blame the government and Gunns for the downturn in the industry, not the protestors.
On the other hand, don’t bother, you are clearly so set in your own little world of blame, this site must be a great boost to your ego.

Unethical scum they indeed are!!

In WA we put up with used tampons placed on forestry car seats and excrement placed on the intakes to forestry offices air conditioners as part of their “legitimate” protest efforts.. I find this behaviour absolutely disgusting and yet not a word in the media about this..
Recently we had a lout chain himself to the general managers car..but the idiot forgot to take the pot out of his pocket which the police duly discovered and charged him with…and we are supposed to consult with these “stakeholders” and incoporporate their views into forest management plans..
These people are an affront to decent, law abiding society, forest workers and their families..
I agree with the bullant approach…I’m over consultation and rational debate with dogmatic, scientifically uneducated d!@#heads…

Gosh, this Mr Karn must be one of those planet ponces we keep hearing about. Better talk a bit slower so he can keep up. And no compound sentences mind, don’t want to stretch him now.

What a pair of priceless twits Ian and WJP are. Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck could not master such banter! The asylum is buzzin’ guys. Better get some downers to stop you bouncing off the walls. Wouldn’t like to cause yourself some mischief. Sorry Ian but I think most readers come here to be entertained. Common sense simply doesn’t exist on Marohasy’s blog. Oh dear, there goes those delusions of grandeur for you. Nurse!

Thanks Ian, I made it “hypocracy’ rather than the correct “hypocrisy” to see if I could get a serve!

Great cartoons WJP. But I think the term “hypocracy” must refer to a form of governance that maintains the primacy of hypocrisy. As in the governance of Victoria, NSW, Qld, WA and SA over the past decade. That is, save the environment by the systematic exclusion of the people, occupations and practices that ensure, and promote, the on-going survival of forests.

Only Tasmania has managed to avoid the descent into “hypocracy” through its continued rejection of the scumnoscenti.

The less said about the ACT and its criminally negligent low life governance during the 2003 fires, the better.

You’re a lucky vegemite Hickson. We’re not from the government, and we’re here to help you.

Hypocrite, nah that’s not me. I’m one of the rarities. Psst! I am a carbon sequestor and don’t expect to be paid for it, and, I don’t see why anybody should.

Is that you too Ian Mott?

So I suppose that makes me anti-Krudd and anti-comrade Pwong, who, with any luck will render you jobless, and then you’ll have plenty of time to go oh so low carbon as you disconnect from mains electricty and live in the dark on lovely lovely inflated Krudd dollars and wonder why you didn’t help the loggers sequester carbon in the form of say timber products and paper so that a brand new tree could spring forth etc etc .

If you find it all gives you a headache or you start asphixiating get the unbleached brown paper bag out, and do the breathing in a bag thing. The extra CO2 will clear your head, the fog will lift and you probably get the urge to acquire a Penny or Kevin voodoo doll and as you needle away, your contribution to the betterment of society will be noted.

Notice how Hickson fails to move from his ad hom generalities towards any specifics that might substantiate his point, WJP? He seriously believes that readers of theis blog are so thick as to adopt his position merely on the basis that he stated it. He is obviously one of those sad plodders that believe that the perfection of a sneer is the first and major step towards enlightenment.

Most of our readers come here because they like to see common sense jammed down the throats of fools, and with gusto. Its a service to the community.

Don’t worry WJP, no one would expect you guys to see how hypocitical you lot really are. It’s part of what makes reading your posts so much fun. Ignorance here comes in so many forms. I’d say most readers here have never had high expectations from the usual suspects, just that you can put a smile on our dial each day with your whacky thoughts and self-interested stories. As long as you don’t kid yourself that you are providing anything useful here, the bliss for all will continue.
