“You do have to fight to keep freedom… because there are always people who will say, ‘Oh, let’s give a little bit more power to government, and a little bit more,’ and then one day you have so many people employed by government that they have a vested interest in keeping more and more power in the hands of government and less in the hands of the people… No, it shall not be… the government is there to serve the liberties of the people, not to restrict them.”
In addition to the unwillingness of the Government to provide information in FOI applications, by far the leading agents of misinformation and disinformation are the Government agencies and all the other bodies that propagate climate alarmism and the net zero suicide mission.
Australian governments have formulated energy policies without using information on wind droughts and the cost of storage.
The public has not been told about wind droughts, storage problems and the full cost of the net zero program, including deindustrialising the nation, vandalising forests and farmlands, and dividing rural communities.
When governments are spruiking big projects (anything Net Zero or road/rail here in Victoria) you can back it in that governments will skulk behind cabinet- and/or commercial-in-confidence. How many citizens would not love to have a look at the true figures for Snowy 2.0, the SRL or the junked EWL, for starters?
Even small tenders decisions for our local Council are blacked out in public minutes (or closed meetings) for 'commercial in confidence' reasons. Risible.
Freedom of Information Act - now THER'S an oxymoron!
The fact is Australia is at war with itself. What would Cromwell have said to Albo & Co and department Heads. This is a very sad story that is repeating itself over and over everywhere the independent thinker looks.... net zero/climate change; government reports; public service; education; defence; NDIS; et al. Australia has never had a civil war (unlike Britain or America, our closest reflections) and I wonder if this has led to a laziness and complacency that has turned the population by and large into boiling frogs. We should be marching in the streets on changes to the FOI Act and more. Who will hold the Albanese Labor-Green-Teal Government to account? Ley and Taylor and the rest of the limp lettuce leaves curled into a soggy rump in the House of Reps won't/can't. The only challenger seems to be Canavan.
The journalists are equally indictable for misinformation because I have circulated mail about wind droughts and related matters to over 100 for years but they are not telling their readers.
