Big Coal flexes $100 million PR muscle on soft sell

[Fairgo]

1. Forsaking the Carbon Tax

Thanks for that. There is the smell of desperation in the Aussie coal family. Can't sell off the nations resources fast enough...anything left in the ground when China finally pushes back from the trough is opportunity and wealth squandered. And now we are treated to the soap opera lives of the oligarchs of open pit mining, a sop for our discontented lives in the downward gyre. And then, the jarring image of Al Gore standing shoulder to shoulder with Clive Palmer...killing the carbon tax in some strategic end game i could not reckon. Its like they can't lose for trying. They are outright and overtly gutting what's left of the great barrier reef, dumping their trash and giving us all the finger. There's more than money driving these people mad...its power. They would sell all the water in NSW and let it all burn, just for a little more of that sweet coal flavoured influence. Junky behaviour...
