Reference :- As the country burns , anybody who suggests that climate change has played a role in the fires is accused by Sky News and the LNP of opportunism . How dare they use these unprecedented fires as a platform from which to preach their ideology, we are told .
Indeed yes , Mr McCormack , sir , our country is struggling against many varieties of opportunist . In this instance it was 23 former emergency personnel with hundreds of years of experience between them warning us that we need to address climate change . Shame on them for fear mongering . Anyway , allow me to highlight your burgeoning use of adjectives . In this one short address you progressed from " inner city raving lunatics " to " raving , pure , enlightened , and woke capital city greenies " . That is quite impressive , and adjectives are an excellent way of concealing your paucity of nouns , or substance . If I may offer a suggestion , it wastes a perfectly good derogatory term when you say "greenies" . I would replace that particular noun with the adjective " green " and use the expression "green vultures " . Sky News does it regularly , but they don't own the copyright .
There is nothing like a tirade of abuse to really advance the sensible discussion of a vital issue .
Your comrade , Ken
