Extinction Rebellion

No doubt in the coming months this rabble of activists will , in an attempt to attract attention for their cause for climate change, will be making headlines. Only in the past week they have made their intention clear that they want  to disrupt the Australian Open Tennis. What has tennis go to do with climate change ? Could the rackets or tennis balls be manufactured in some way to cause climate change ?

PT, no Herald Sun.

They also intend to protest at Tullamarine Airport, which has more relevance because planes fly on aviation fuel. Hang on, if aircrafts have no fuel how would these activists travel interstate , drive you say, hang on, cars also need fuel. Maybe they should all buy a push bike , hang on, are not bikes manufactured from steel or other products that require power to be generated by electricity, which requires...no I need say no further. They are idiots.

Take your hand off it Bob, and try not to post any more make believe news such as the Abbott bogan non-event, or supposed disruption at Tullamarine airport.

Don't worry   As long as we have rats, feral cats and dogs and cockroaches to pass on to future generations all is not lost.

Shame some here are wanting to denigrate people who stand up for what they believe in. It is called free speech. Perhaps you have heard that and may even support it.
If you don't stand up for what you believe in you will fall for anything.

Exactly. Izzy did just that

SC, I am going to the Australian Open on Monday and if any of that ER mob block my entry I will call the police to clear my entry if I still cannot gain entry I will spray them with my aerated drink bottle, which might be the only shower they will have for the week.

That is nice to hear, it has taken you quite a while to admit you do not “ give a toss” for that ER mob,

The silent majority are the ones that have got us to the edge of ecocide.

That’s exactly the attitude that causes the left to get beaten in elections consistently! Elections aren’t decided on Facebook or any other social media . They’re decided by ordinary people who don’t obsess about politics 24/7 but are just out living their lives. They decide the issues that are important to them and vote accordingly at the election. They don’t bother with arguing about politics on social media. You can’t win elections without understanding the electorate . Lecturing people is not the way to go. Shutting down debate is just stupid. The current bush fire situation is a classic example. People who live in the bush know what the problem is. Calling them “ climate deniers” and “ Murdoch stooges” just ensures you’ve lost them . The left should try listening to people for a change.

I am to believe some people have more passion for their favourite football team than they have for politics. I am a paid up member of an AFL team, if they win or lose I do not dwell on the result, fully understanding it is only a game but watching some of the supporters behind the goals I often wonder what they might do in between matches during the week.

Think of electorate anyway you want but they are the ones you have to appeal to if you want to win an election. Just a hint . Talking down to people who don’t necessarily agree with you isn’t a good start.
