Reference :- According to Mr Scott Morrison , now is not the time to discuss climate change . Apparently it is insensitive to broach the subject while the fires blaze .
Good morning, Mr Morrison , sir . I understand your position entirely . If we start enacting policies to confront this so called " climate change " too soon , in a few months when the unprecedented bush fire season ends , people might get the mistaken impression that acting on climate change had helped . That might lock in public opinion . Already 76% of Australians believe there is climate change , and you need to get that well below 50% before the next election . You owe it to your coal mining amigos , as well as your chances of re-election .
Anyway , everybody here is most appreciative of your offered prayers . Our local firefighting resources have had so many funding cuts they couldn't cope with a burning BBQ plate , so thank you for offering something so constructive . We are quite happy to defer to your marketing experience as regards the appropriate time to tackle the supposed climate change issue . Finally , perhaps you could offer me some advice ? My son , Ken junior , had a penchant for thrashing the guts out of my ute . He recently wrote it off , crashing into the neighbour's dunny . That got him in the poo , literally and figuratively . Anyway , though I had been telling him for ages he would end up pranging if he drove like a maniac , it didn't seem to be a good idea to bring up the subject immediately post accident . But then , can you tell me ,when will be the right time ? If you could help me with that , I would be forever grateful. Mr Howard didn't waste time bringing in the gun laws after the Port Arthur massacre , and that certainly worked a treat . But that was a simpler situation , I guess . No stroppy teenagers or coal lobbyists involved .
Looking forward to your reply . Your Comrade , Ken
