Greens no longer for conservation

The Green Party may have started off as a conservation movement, but unfortunately has no resemblance to their grass roots today.

Throughout the country bulldozers are clearing huge swathes of land for renewables.

In out forests good timber is being pushed into heaps and burnt and we have a shortage of timber for housing – shameful.

The Greens continually push their carbon emissions agenda down our throats and not a peep regarding all the burning off of our resources.

They castigate every citizen, farmer, manufacturer and even farting cattle.

Hog wash and we barely produce two per cent of the world’s emissions, not a word from them regarding the output of carbon from China and India.

S Hansen, Gympie.
