Reference :- Sky news applauded Mr Morrison for saying he will look at introducing new laws to crack down on the new breed of radical activists.

Reference :-     Poor Mr Morrison has a battle on his hands with a "new breed of radical activism "  .  Although he is considering new laws to crush activism , the climate change alarmists are promoting the boycotting of companies that they claim are environmentally irresponsible .

 That's the way Mr Morrison, Sir .  Another 75 laws on top of the last 75 might do it .  Push us down from 21st to 31st in the world for freedom of the press , who cares?    But here is the tricky bit .  Its not against the law to refuse to  buy the products of a company you don't like . This boycotting thing could easily get out of hand .  How dare people decide who they will spend their hard earned cash with !   

  While you are whipping up those new laws , you must bring in a few laws forcing people to support all big companies equally .    It could be a bit like a ration card .  Mr Dutton can help with that , using his favoured facial recognition technology and computerised  surveillance . 

Are you with me Mr Morrison?                                         /
It could work like this .  Everybody with a tax file number would be required by law to buy , say , a dozen " caged eggs " , or put ten coins in a poker machine , or watch 20 hrs of commercial television , or drive down a dozen toll roads , every week .  That sort of thing , the possibilities are endless.   Any member of the public ( or poor schmuck , as Andrew Bolt describes them ) who doesn't meet their quota for the week would have a penalty imposed for not being a loyal consumer .   If the penalties were random and often wrong , it would be even more effective , so the current Robodebt system would be ideal .  


 We can't  have boycotts stopping companies make a quid , and you as an economist understand  that more than anybody .  Since I thought of it first , could I beg a favour ?   My son , Ken junior , has suggested that there  be a minimum weekly consumption quota  of  5 Big Macs with potato chips ( now called "fries ", I believe )  . The fat little bastard has a penchant for them .  Obviously it will cost me , but I don't mind doing my bit for the country .  


Your comrade , Ken
