Alright Mr Bandt, I'll see your teenager suffering from 'climate anxiety' (leaving aside, of course, the fact that you and your ilk have stoked the hysterical, apocalyptic garbage that is largely responsible for such anxiety) and raise you...
The pensioner who runs the risk of getting hypothermia in her own home, because when she thinks about Australian electricity prices - among the highest in the world thanks to policies the green movement has inflicted on us - it all gets too much.
The young couple who may never own their own home, because when they look at Australia's criminally expensive housing - thanks in part to restrictive land release policies championed by the green movement - it all gets too much.

Good God, I had a chuckle reading this - A real unhinged, paranoid, Murdoch derangement syndrome-infused, tinfoil territory rant. Then I got to the byline - This bloke is founder of the Australian Press Council and former editor of @theage!

@theage Anyway, most of his grievances are the standard lefty fare: 'Attacks' on the wonderful beacon of truth that is the ABC, the 'threats to democracy' arising from what is clearly opinion programming, and the 'takeover' of Fairfax by the right-wing (yeah, really) Nine Entertainment.
@theage But the fascinating thing is the mental gymnastics this Ranald bloke engages in in relation to the press freedom debate.

On the one hand, he complains about the 'increasing limitations imposed on reporting' under the guise of national security, which is fair enough.

Ah I see - It's not that public institutions are out of step with the community, it's that people are too stupid to realise that a bloke on AM radio is manipulating them into being 'afraid, cynical and distrusting' of the warm embrace of the state.
And more to the point, the real 'privilege and power' here is vested in the taxpayer-funded, omnipresent media juggernaut.

Jones' voice relies on the goodwill of people voluntarily tuning in. The ABC derives theirs from other people's money obtained by force of law.
For all their sanctimonious bleating about the importance of an 'independent media', the left are staggeringly hostile to dissenting points of view.
