response from another friend....
Food for thought? positively depressing I would say. And yes that is the direction we are rushing headlong into. A government dazzled by a few dollars today, a Department of Environment which could not care less, a Tourism Ministry that is way off track,and a largely apathetic population.
Small wonder the voices of the few don't get heard.
One day someone will look back at this and say "I told you so"
