Hopefully, it will be of sufficiently-high resolution for everyone to note the geometric scars on the landscape - juxtaposed amongst a few pockets of densely-vegetated reserve...

via jame-e; You didn't. But the quote would indicate that ozpol thinks that BB was destroyed. A distortion.

errr,... jame-e, the quote says "Commentators on". I suggest you re-read to gain an understanding..

Fair enough, i did miss 'commentators'.

But you posted the quote. A quote that has no substance and does distort within the piece.

If you still take issue, i can go back and demonstrate some of your distortion.

via jame-e; You agree that BB was not destroyed.

Why have you posted?

Yes, why have you posted jame-e.. Wink

'Is this thread about greens policy'?

This thread could be about anything.

I have posted because i disagree with the title.

Heh, the post Uhlmann and Murdoch hate interviews hysteria continues...

"In a series of tweets yesterday, Senator Brown's director of media, Marion Rae, attacked members of the Canberra press gallery personally, while also saying newspapers in which her boss appeared and even wrote for were good for soaking up cat pee.

She posted a photograph of The Australian's James Massola, with the caption: "There's a hypertroll outside the window."

Of the ABC's Chris Uhlmann, she said: "Some are born great, some become great and others have talented wives, eh mate?"

Uhlmann's wife is the ALP MP for Canberra, Gai Brodtmann..."

.

Meanwhile, Bob Brown in an attempt to divert attention from the incompetance he showed during the Uhlmann interview...

"Senator Brown himself has tweeted: "I'm enjoying sparking debate about the media's role. It's important for our democracy. Join in!"

It was because Brown did NOT have an answer to the questions once Uhlman pointed out that it was not a journalist from the Australian who was quoted, but Bob Brown himself writing about the closing down of the coal industry. It seems the Get Up mob can't seem to get their heads around valid questions. A case of dishing it out, but not able to take it.

Can you please quote, at some length, BBrown on his belief that the coal industry should be shut down?

The way i see it, its not as simple as that.

Greens policy

Mining and Mineral Exploration

35.oppose the establishment of new coal mines and the expansion of existing mines

That = dead coal mines.

There are plenty of dead coal mines. If by dead you mean exhausted/unprofitable.

The greens are aiming to remove the need for coal mines.

Making them unprofitable.

Economics.

I do not necessarily agree with green policy in this area, but for someone to misunderstand/misrepresent it so profoundly is laughable.

I kept it simple enough for you, but that would seem beyond you.

Yes, Bob Brown would like to close down the coal mines then put a super profits tax on the coal mines to pay fer what-ever fantasy he thinks will power Oz.. Grin

BOB BROWN: Well, a lot of that money is bouncing straight back out to shareholders overseas. Now what we're...

CHRIS UHLMANN: A lot of that money is circulating in the economy. It's creating jobs, Senator, it's bouncing through to our cities.

BOB BROWN: Yes, Chris, and what we would do is take the advice of the Treasury of this nation and recoup the $145 billion over the next 10 years through a super profits tax. Tony Abbott says...

CHRIS UHLMANN: But you can't recoup it if you shut the industry down.

BOB BROWN: Treasury...

CHRIS UHLMANN: If you shut the coal industry down there won't be that money...

BOB BROWN: I'm sorry...
