Opinion: Coronavirus crisis grounds airlines, capitalism in victory for Greens

Greens politicians must be exceedingly happy at the coronavirus crisis gripping Queensland and the world, writes Des Houghton.

GREENS politicians such as Queensland senator Larissa Waters, Woolloongabba councillor Jonathan Sri, and state Member for Maiwar Michael Berkman must be exceedingly happy.

Many polluting airlines are grounded and capitalism is in meltdown.

Greens call on Siemens to drop Adani mine contract

Coal-mining towns set for Adani jobs to flow

A microscopic pathogen born in the disgusting swill of the woefully cruel animal trade in communist China has achieved more disruption in three months than the Greens and Greta Thunberg and their snivelling-Left Extinction Rebellion comrades have managed in years.

Berkman proudly declares on his home page that he was an environmental lawyer leading the fight against Adani.

That delayed the creation of 14,500 jobs.

It’s time for the Greens and the government regulators to get out of the way.

Let the job creators loose to repair the ailing economy.

Where the jobs are

JOBS, jobs, jobs … but not the sort Jackie Trad and Annastacia Palaszczuk like to talk about.

State Cabinet urgently needs to cut green and red tape to speed up these proposed mines and projects: New Acland Stage 3 (550 jobs), Galilee Coal and Rail Project (2325), China Stone Coal (3400), Kevin’s Corner (1600), Alpha Coal (990), South Galilee Coal (1288), South32’s Eagle Downs (500), Winchester’s South Whitehaven (450), Pembroke Resources’ Olive Downs (1000), Alpha North Coal (no jobs estimate yet).

There are also several port and rail projects locked up in green tape.
