Absurdity reigns supreme 

Elected just before they discovered a gaping hole in council's budget, much to everybody's delight ex-Mayor Kristy McBain has promised to change the climate! Oh wait ... rather than dial-up any old climate she should firstly find out the sort of climate her people want. The war against the climate has been immensely expensive, destructive, lacks any justification and is running pretty thin. Witness that the more renewables in the mix, the more all this free electricity costs. Climate-action has been directly responsible for exporting more Australian jobs than ever before. Our manufacturing base has been decimated - we can't even build a solar panel or a car anymore and we import almost everything else. In the face of increasing costs, declining margins and greentape, Bega Valley dairy farmers have sent planeloads of their herds to China. Instead of developing and exporting products, we export our farms and other assets such as genetics and knowledge.
