Lieberal says environmentalists are racist for opposing Adani - FFS!

I will start this post with a short story of an experience of mine many years ago when I was in the US.

I was having an argument about something with a coloured guy over there in which it was obvious we disagreed and couldn't come to a resolution on the subject. I can't remember WTF the argument was even about now, other than the fact we were being very polite with each other and not getting angry. At least I thought.

Then I was flabbergasted with what he said to end the argument (and it did end right there and then). He resorted to race. Whether he believed what he was saying or not didn't matter, it was said and it ended the debate. He said "You're just racist, that's why you don't agree with me". 

I was shocked. Sideswiped. Blindsided right out of left field. I spluttered something about growing up in New Zealand which had virtually no racism compared to the US. I was really angry at the guy for doing that. It was underhanded and wrong.

It appears though the the Lieberals are using the same tactic against Australian environmentalists in the debate about the Adani Reef wrecking biggest ever coal mine planned for Queensland. I've been following the issue for many months now, and not once in all the Green protests about it has anything ever been mentioned about the fact that Adani is run by Indians. Or to put it more bluntly, by India brown people. 

The arguments have been intelligent and sensible, focusing solely on Adani's environmental wrecking history and the damage that even an environmentally good company would do by dredging the Reef and shipping coal through it at such an amount that it would go on long into the foreseeable future. The court cases have been about the environmental damage and global warming, not about the colour of the skin of those running Adani.

But Queensland Lieberal George Christensen sees it much more simplistically than that. According to him, no it's not about the environment because shipping coal through the Great Barrier Reef after dredging it to do so won't do any environmental damage. And global warming doesn't exist. So what's left? The environmentalists don't agree with the Turnbull gov about mining the biggest ever coal mine in Australia's history because we're just racist. We don't agree with them because the Adani company is run by brown people. Simple as that.

What a fuckin insult. This shows the level of brain dead moronic stupidity held within the Lieberals; our glorious Canberra leaders:

EXTREME green groups are guilty of veiled racism in their relentless and targeted campaign against Indian company Adani and its “brown-skinned executives”. 

This is a mining development which will breathe new life into Mackay with the jobs and opportunities it will provide. 

The extreme green anti-mining campaign has only focussed on an Indian company which is veiled racism, and the veil’s pretty thin. 

It’s almost a case of ‘you can’t trust the Indians’. 

Along with defaming an Indian company, these extreme green groups are now attacking the Indian brown-skinned executives of that company. 

They want to hark back to issues in other jurisdictions, but I’m wondering why they haven’t come out with stories of breaches by Australian, American or British-owned mining companies? 

There are a plethora of these white-faced mining companies who have blotted their copy book in terms of environmental management of mines in other countries. 

Why is it that the extreme green groups have only gone after a company that is headed by people with brown faces? 

Why is it that these extreme green groups have only attacked a mining executive who has a brown face?” George Christensen MP
