THE green movement "treats Aborigines like hairy-nosed wombats" that need protection and is as oppressive as the white colonisers who took away indigenous land.
The head of the newly created Australian Indigenous Chamber of Commerce, Warren Mundine, has vowed the new body will campaign against the green movement's attempts to block development proposals across the country.
He told The Australian that environmentalists were using their numbers and power to lock up land and stop economic development, and must be stopped.
"The green movement treats us like hairy-nosed wombats that need to be saved and protected. They only care about themselves -- they don't care about Aboriginal people," Mr Mundine said.
Mundine is right, of course it isn't just aboriginal people they don't care about it is all people. Most of these radicals would be happy if we just went back to living like cave men to save their precous environment.
Cape York leader Noel Pearson has stepped down from his position at the Cape York Institute to fight a green-driven campaign that has led the Queensland Government to declare 19 major northern river systems as "wild rivers", a move he said denies Aborigines the chance for economic development in those areas.
And the clincher:
"They are always offering us jobs as rangers but not all of them can get these ranger jobs -- we want real jobs in a real economy.
All seems quite paternalistic really.
While a touch extreme, I prefer this view:
Mother Earth can kiss my ass. The earth only has value because I can exploit it to make my life easier. Humans are important. The earth is not, and it has no rights. My toilets empty into the earth, and the earth should be grateful to receive and process my waste, because it's helping a human being live a clean and healthy life. Open wide, Gaia. I got another little snack for you.
