The Greens are not calling for the closer of the coal industry today ... it's closure ASAP. and yet you've no other industry for those people to work in , in the foreseeable future. ____ wrote on Feb 8 th, 2015 at 12:56pm: Yes, we all work in the coal mine don't we.Bugger the tourist creating jobs, the aquacultural jobs, the agricultural jobs, the science based jobs ... yes, bugger all the shops that rely on those mining dollars, the transport jobs, the shipping jobs, the engineering jobs, the mineralogist jobs, geologist jobs  .. come off it green ... unfortunately, mining is here to stay .. the process has to be gradual, driven by demand, not by ideology Just like the asbestos jobs aye ... we should keep then going no matter the consequences for the workers, the wider community. We must not change anything because change is so so scary to the liblab supporter. yeah yeah, you keep avoiding the fact that people still need to live today, and I'll keep laughing at you ... asbestos? really? next you'll bring up the Nazi's right? The base of your argument is the only job is in a coal mine. The type of argument used against the ending of slavery, the ending of manufacturing of land mines, the argument against ending asbestos. It's a false argument. There are new jobs available in the new economy, based around cheaper and clean electricity from green renewables. that's not the basis of my argument at all ... you're are being more than stupid if you think the only ones affected by the mines closing are the miners themselves .. we have hundreds if not thousands of communities and their support networks all living of the backs of these mines. All those people, and the miners, need to live. Address that issue and I'll take you seriously, otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, you and the greens are all stark raving lunatics. Where are these new jobs you allude to? surely, with such a high unemployment rate as we have now these jobs are in demand?  the new economy takes time to develop, you can't just shut down the current one and say ' wallah ' what happens to all these people in the meantime? They eat daisies? It is the bases of your argument. You say the only job available is working in a coal mine. Do you work in a coal mine? meanwhile you are willing to destroy agricultural jobs via driving the climate into a tail spin. What of all the people reliant on food and the economy based around food. We have a choice between coal or food.
