It’s all ideological bullshit from a bunch of fart sniffers. None of them have ever worked a real job, they go from Uni into trade unions or NGOs or staffing for other polis and if they’re good enough at backstabbing they’ll make politics.

They haven’t worked construction, they haven’t done manual labour, they haven’t run a business, they haven’t had to sell anything, never run books, never managed people, never managed risk - the only environment they know is shoving legislation down people’s throats to make their donors happy.

How is this policy going to help people in Broome? Or in Alice Springs? Or Port Lincoln? Or Broken Hill? How about Aboriginal communities?

They have no concept of how people live and work in these places. The lack of infrastructure to support a shift completely to EVs. How far people have to travel for work. How vehicles are used in farming or mining or even tourism and trades.

But they read the climate Marxists at the University of Naarm’s report and saw 11,105 people die every year from vehicle emissions and instead of asking which arsehole this number was plucked out of, they decide they can fix it by passing more legislation.

There is only so far the productive class can take these giant parasites on their back sucking their life’s energy from them and I imagine we’re just a few years from finding the limits.

Common Law has several options. "Nuisance" is one I'd go for. Class action brings the cost right down

Proving actual harm would be hard to impossible to claim. Fine particulates are bad, but they're also ubiquitous and naturally occurring. There are too many variables, and many are only known to within an order of magnitude.

Australia is a massive country, difficult to understand how vast it is if you haven’t experienced it. I remember when I moved to Europe and I realised you could be blindfolded and dropped somewhere in the woods, walk any direction and within an hour you’d find civilisation. You do this in Australia and you’ll die of thirst before you find civilisation.

In many places it’s an hour+ to drive to work with nothing in between. In fact in many places you couldn’t live there without vehicles, and you certainly could do any work there.

The 11,105 premature deaths they claim came from modelling using some methodology from New Zealand. I’ve searched for it and can’t find it to verify myself so I’m left to assume it’s no different than the Imperial College of London’s Covid modelling which said Sweden would have 90,000 deaths in a few months which was orders of magnitude wrong.

So based on one woke climate cult university institution they’re implementing policy which will entirely fuck millions of people’s lives because they can’t use EVs to move goods and people the vast distances needed where people live and work.

Imagine getting bitten by a snake and rushing the 3 hours to the nearest hospital only your battery dies and there’s no fucking charging infrastructure anywhere.. That’s the kind of thing these policies just don’t consider at all.

Yes I think that’s a big part of it, but also driven by the climate cult ideology where many of these people genuinely think unless we stop carbon emissions we’re all gonna die.

Difficult to know who is a useful idiot for this regime and who is a true believer but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter - they’re all cunts who are going to destroy a ton in the pursuit of their goals and we are the ones who have to deal with the fall out.
