It’s the green tape angle that terrifies me. Back to the 50s should be their slogan.
You'll be stunned to discover that (Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison) Dutton is going to get things back on track by... cutting red and green tape!
Wow!

This is absolutely disgraceful.
Not only are the LNP thieves, but the ALP are worse.
These are our resources, in some cases being given away for free.
No other Nation would put up with this, what should we.
Don’t try & tell me this ALP government is in it for you, because it ain’t.

The latest data released by the Australian government shows that while the last third of the previous conservative leadership saw a decline in fossil fuel exports, the Labor party has overseen a steady resurgence - and is forecasted to continue that resurgence
