Anna Bligh, Julia Gillard, and Barry O'Farrell, sanctimonious climate change moralists, are raping rural Australia one farm at a time, because they're so "concerned" about the environment.IT takes a lot to ruffle grazier Ralph Martel's feathers, but even he admits he's well and truly riled up.
The 65-year-old has been running cattle on prime fattening country, north of Clermont, in central Queensland, for most of his life. He is grooming his 20-year-old son, Carl, to take over the family business when he retires...
The Martels were recently served with an entry notice from Blackwood Coal ...
Mr Martel said he predicted a rebellion in the region, similar to the groundswell of opposition from farmers in southern Queensland against the coal-seam gas industry...
"... Why can't we have the power to stop them? They are going into this beautiful blue-ribbon cattle country and turning it upside down for coal."
Mr Martel said the federal and state governments should "get their values in order" to recognise the importance of productive agricultural land...
File under: it's a sickening irony when those who preach the doom of far-off climate change simultaneously oversee the destruction of fertile agricultural land all over eastern Australia.
