Another example of the repugnant and morally bankrupt
Australian Greens Party. Not content to
simply create mayhem with regard to Australia’s border control via importation
of boatloads of illegal entrants (who immediately affix themselves to the public teat, form
ghettos that, in many cases, become no-go zones, even for law enforcement
officers and show an unwillingness to assimilate into Australian society and
Australian way of life.) The Greens are
also driving Australia’s prosperity into the ground via useless and
ill-conceived CAGW schemes, they now
clearly show they have no intention of upholding Australian law.
The Australian Greens are in coalition with Labor
ensuring the Gillard Regime would have the numbers to govern along with help
from several Independents. An
unspeakable three-year disaster for this Nation.
Sinclair Davidson is correct. Financial arson has been committed by
Jonathan Moylan.

How to characterise what Jonathan Moylan did?
Well the Greens are trying to
run a ‘civil disobedience‘ line.
THE
Greens leader, Senator Christine Milne, has endorsed a controversial hoax by an
anti-coal activist, saying his actions were ”part of a long and proud history
of civil disobedience, potentially breaking the law, to highlight something
wrong”.
Her comments came after a
tweet by her colleague Lee Rhiannon, who publicly congratulated Jonathan
Moylan, an activist under scrutiny for impersonating a bank and temporarily
wiping $314 million off the value of Whitehaven Coal.
”Congrats to Jonathan Moylan, Frontline Action on Coal, for exposing ANZ investment in coalmines,” Ms Rhiannon tweeted on Tuesday night.

Okay
– good luck with that. I’m not convinced myself but it does leave the Greens
having to explain why destroying economic prosperity and shareholder value is
for the ‘good’. Having destroyed the Tasmanian economy they are turning their
sights onto the mainland.
Conversely Nikki Williams from
the Australian Coal Association has an excellent op-ed in the Australian.
The
deliberate and fraudulent manipulation of the stockmarket is a serious offence,
which undermines confidence in Australia’s investment system.
I
disagree with two sentences.
Contempt
for the interests of the public is an unusual face for the activist movement.
No.
Ask the Tasmanian logging industry about that.
Free
speech is a right that must be protected, but with free speech must come
responsibility and accountability.
This is not a free speech issue. Moylan should be
free to tell us all about the evils of coal mining and how it is disgraceful
that ANZ is lending them money and, if he were an ANZ shareholder, turn up at
the AGM and ask tough questions etc. etc. etc. In fact, Moylan is free to do
all those things already.
Moylan did not say what he liked, he did what he liked. Moylan committed an act
of violence against Whitehaven’s shareholders and the integrity of the
Australian financial markets – so every person in Australia who has direct
investments or indirect investments like superannuation.
If he
had set a forest fire we would immediately recognise the wrong – he did the
financial equivalent.
