The #LNP have a candidate problem continued…

“Speaking at a #RenewableEnergy conference in #Sydney on Wednesday, #SurangelWhipps Jr described seeing two-thirds of an island in his archipelago country disappear under water in his lifetime. “For those of us in the #Pacific who have lived through storm surges, #rising #ocean levels and increasingly high tides, the phrase ‘water lapping at our door’ is not a metaphor or a punchline. It’s our fear and reality,” he said.

The comment was an apparent reference to a 2015 incident in which #PeterDutton, while #ImmigrationMinister, was overheard on a hot mic joking with then-prime minister #TonyAbbott (#dickhead) about delays during a visit to Papua New Guinea (#PNG) , saying “time doesn’t mean anything when you’re about to have water lapping at your door”.

Black’s eventual rejection of these beliefs came through genuine personal relationships at college, highlighting how human connection can sometimes overcome ideological barriers that facts alone cannot penetrate.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ What has been percolating in my mind is the importance of conversation between friends and family members who care enough about our country to talk about and think about what is happening.

A quotation from Aristotle

It is likewise well to rise before daybreak; for this contributes to health, wealth, and wisdom.
 
[τό τε διανίστασθαι νύκτωρ: τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ πρὸς ὑγίειαν καὶ οἰκονομίαν καὶ φιλοσοφίαν χρήσιμον.]

Aristotle (384-322 BC) Greek philosopher
Economics [Οἰκονομικά, Œconomica], Book 1, ch. 6 (1345a, l. 16) [tr. Walford (1853)]
