    In walking the Streets for 3 months and sending out over 30,000 survey forms
    the Environment wasn't in the top 10 of issues relevant to respondents. The
    return rate of surveys was less than 1%, 5% would be considered a strong
    response. In general the people were not engaged in the Election debate
    until 3 weeks out from the poll.
    Really don't give a shit if you believe me or not, I don't describe myself
    as a champion of any issue, however with my background in the Development
    and Building industry and Land Use it is an issue that I am very interested
    in.

    I am hurt that you would accuse me of Glib Barbs (I thought that was
    compulsory on this group).
    People generally don't want any legislation that will increase the purchase
    price of homes, sometimes Governments need to show leadership in issues of
    long term sustainability.
    Actually the Greens were very interested in my views which were published in
    Local Papers but they refused to direct preferences to me because I was a
    Liberal, the Labor party was the recipient of massive political donations
    from the development industry and would not contemplate any change. They
    have now removed subsidy for Solar Hot Water. The Greens in Queensland are
    just a branch office of the Labor Party.

    Someone pointed out that we are at more risk of killing ourselves than of
    being killed by terrorists.

    I can't understand why people go on and on with this wicked fantasy. They
    don't seem to have noticed that the TNI couldn't, over almost 25 years,
    pacify half a tiny island just to our north...

    So if you don't know what to do it's best to do something knee-jerk and
    hysterical then?

    Furphy.

    You may well be right, I don't know, I can only say that it's been
    reported as an issue in some of the stuff I've read.
    Hehe, to grow mushrooms you need moisture, I don't think the climate in
    the Simpson has changed that much since I was last there

    And that translates back into English as "banjo playing 6 fingered home
    boys" ?

    Who could be bothered googling for some hidden meaning in the rantings
    of a madman ?

    <chuckle> I think you've summed up his whole argument very neatly.

    I don't have a problem with hysterical... people are welcome to run
    around in circles screaming "Won't someone think of the children"...
    it's the knee jerk reactions I have a problem with :)

    There is one west of Ballarat that I have flown over many times... I was
    curious about it so I went and had a look one day. I stopped at the
    base of the hills where the 20 or so wind towers are next to the road
    and I couldn't hear them (about 500 metres away).

    I could hear half of the motorbikes I ride with from that distance...

    How about a bunch of green lobby prejudiced locals... who of course
    support green power... but not in their backyard...

    People not getting money when other people do (no matter what the
    reason) will always piss a certain sort of personality off... doesn't
    matter if there is a basis in logic for that or not.

    Some people just can't stand to see someone else get something and
    themselves not getting it.

    I strongly suspect this is closer to the reason than anything to do with
    'wind farm impact'.

    Very true, a friend just won $500,000 on the pools, I am very pissed off
    that I didn't win $500,000 as well.
