Bushfires, but the ambers fly also in parliament.

One could actually believe the government gives a cabaret performance, so utterly ridiculous are statements and monologs of various politicians in response to a ‘green member’ of parliament asking, if or what kind of plan there was to address the problems of climate change, which obviously leads to increased numbers and severity of bushfires (currently raging in Australia). Hard to believe but one politician was claiming it was the fault of the lefty’s and greeny’s that there were bushfires anyway and, how dare they to ask such a question in view of the catastrophe unfolding instead of showing some compassion for the ones afflicted. Well, well, this makes for pure comedic satire if it was not a real life tragedy being staged by a government of bullies, autocrats and self indulgent hypocrites. But it gets even better. Another one of these “”cynical politicians”” stated that most likely the ones who just had lost their homes to fire, if not their lives, were most likely the ones who had voted for the greeny’s anyway, wanting to live in a natural habitat, (instead of where?), not voting for a party who had their true and best interest in mind that is their party. So they better not complain now, isn’t it? Because, if they had voted for their party bushfires would not rage? Or what did this guy actually mean with a statement like this???????
Now! One can only hope that these political fiasco and shouting is so loud that the whole world can hear it and gets the right picture what kind of political performance that is. Mind you, the politician calling the green party member a disgrace asking an uncomfortable question, where is his compassion? Is he fighting on the frontline against the raging fires? No, he sits comfortably in his ivory tower, attacking the voice of reason. If he had any understanding of what sustainable progress means, he would not have to spit fire by a simple question, or at least he could use this time of sorrow to learn and do something constructive in his job, (his duty anyway), instead of bulldozing down anyone, exposing the lack of action of his party in anything that does not serve their agenda of progress at all cost. What? Sustainability? What is that?
Attack is a good defence, even animals know that. Driven in a corner they attack because there is nothing else they can do to safe their skin. Sorry, but politicians like these who close front against reason should be banned from any governmental business. The power of democracy lies with the people, but that is exactly in question now. So may be the fires are not just gutting habitats but democracy as well.
