Punish Greens fraudsters

After all, one does not rationally deal with terrorists by acceding to their demands so why bow to the agenda of economic extremists who demonstrate no limit to their preparedness to frustrate growth and development?

With a federal election expected for later this year the Greens political party should be repudiated at the ballot box for its consistent hostility towards the mining sector, which has arguably held the Australian economy afloat during the post-global financial crisis stagnation.

The microscope of scrutiny should also be firmly trained on the federal government, presently on political life support thanks to Green preferences.

The maintenance of stringent environmental approval regulations are inducing significant delays for lucrative mining developments, and the bevy of carbon dioxide and mining taxes unduly erode the bottom line of profitable firms that do little but employ many thousands of Australians and augment our export incomes.

Although Australia has already inflicted much economic self-harm upon itself in response to the extremists' pressure, the best way to start rolling back the damaging green policy legacy is to draw a firm line against sabotage in all its forms affecting the mining sector.
