Five minutes to midnight

ALAN Jones made a very valid point at the Our Water Our Land Our Future rally on Saturday – it’s five minutes to midnight.
That term is in reference to the Doomsday Clock; the closer the clock is to midnight, the closer the world is estimated to be to global disaster.
But Jones made the comment in reference to Australia’s future – whether we will maintain our pristine farming land, our aquifers, our rivers and forests.
Make no mistake, mining and coal seam gas exploration is going to ruin this nation and make it inhabitable for our children.
Which brings me to my next point – our children know little about what is happening to their country.
At the rally on Saturday there were few young people; there were few people under age 40.
I asked my 14-year-old daughter what she knew about coal seam gas extraction and she looked at me as if I had two heads.
Our educators need to make our children aware of this issue, but you can bet it won’t happen because politicians are involved and they will say it’s a political issue.
Well it’s not.
This is a very real issue that involves the future of our country.
Tell your children about these insidious miners from foreign countries that are raping our country and couldn’t care less about the consequences.
Tell them to add their names to the petition that will be circulating in the Southern Highlands.
Tell them to write to their local members of parliament.
Tell them to write to the Prime Minister.
Tell them to get off Facebook and to use the internet to research this subject and that unless they start to take an interest in politics and what is happening in the world around them, then by the time they have children they won’t have a decent world to live in.
This threat is real and we must react.
