In response to a motion from Senator Hanson-Young, I outlined how the Greens keep changing their position until the UN’s Agenda 2030 Sustainable goals are reached.
The Greens in Tasmania led the war against the forestry industry for decades in the name of conservation. This war against the sustainable forestry industry has seen a decline in the industry, including jobs losses and communities struggling to survive.
In its place the Greens argued, would spring a new tourism boom that would enable Australians and international visitor a chance to visit the incredible natural Tasmanian wilderness.
So now that the free market is looking to invest in the Greens new tourism industry, what do they want to do? Change the rules. They want to change the rules because their intent was never to transition from forestry to tourism but to lock-up and lock-out everyone from enjoying nature.
So what do “high end resorts” bring? High end customers. Wealthy consumers who will help create jobs, create thriving communities with high-end local services and products. Not everyone likes a rugged camping holiday, or a rustic bungalow, some like to have some modern comforts and turning away these consumers is an idea that could only be dreamed up in the fairyland that the Greens exist in.
