One Nation is the Only Party That Comes Out of the Snowy Fiasco With a Clear Conscience 8/6/2006
Clear Conscience
One Nation is the only party that can hold its head high after the Snowy Hydro sale fiasco.
The Liberals have nothing to be proud of, because the Howard move was a stunt to give Australians the impression he's the man who solves problems with decisive action while Labor dithers. Yet if the Federal Government takes control of water nationally, their track record indicates they will sell the Snowy and all of our water resources off anyway.
Labor have nothing to be proud of, because they were the ones who wanted to sell it, against all their socialist principles and against the wishes of the public, and don't forget it was they who sold the Commonwealth Bank and Qantas.
The Greens can't crow about opposing it - they voted for corporatisation in the first place, and if they had been around when the Snowy System was planned they would have declared that each dam was on a sacred site and the tunnels would disturb the habitat of the last remaining example of the endangered yellow-backed climbing tree frog, so the scheme would never have happened.
As for The Nationals, they have been selling out The Bush out for years. Which brings us to the conclusion that only One Nation, that opposes on principle ALL sell off of public utilities and opposed the Snowy Hydro sale from the start, can say with honesty "vote for us or you'll end up with NO NATION".
