DEAR News Of The Area,
IF Mr Dave Williamson (Letters 25 April) is telling us he’s “had a gutful” of a collection of ideologies that include an increased awareness of racial and social injustice, and an intolerance of prejudice and discrimination, plus an empathetic attitude towards disadvantaged minorities, then so be it.
We all know who he’ll be voting for.
As for his criticism of “NIMBYS” no doubt he would be perfectly happy to have the spectre of a nuclear reactor looming over his own back fence. Sure.
Finally, his simplistic outburst “they tried to tax our cows for farting, for God’s sake” requires a more in-depth reality check.
Australia is a signatory, along with 120 other nations globally, that have signed up to try to reduce methane emissions (which are more lethal than carbon) by 30 percent by 2030 in the energy, waste and agricultural sectors.
No doubt Mr Williamson has had a gutful of that as well.
Regards,
Don ORR,
Urunga
