While Newton’s laws of motion have been found to be amazingly predictive and reliable. There are exceptions where Newtonian physics breaks down. The first involves objects travelling at or near the speed of light. The second problem comes when Newton’s laws are applied to particles that fall in the realm of quantum mechanics. Using Andrew Bolt’s logic Newton should be done and dusted and no longer taught in schools. If it had any political or economic relevance for  RET’s he would be calling it another ‘False God’ like Global Warming. The same for Einstein’s theories.
It doesn’t  matter  the true discourse is about  power, politics, economics the types of  energy sources,available and money. There is a lot of noise  about the failure of inductive logic, the lack of scientific method to provide definitive answers to Global Warming and quality of life when in fact it’s about self interest or otherwise called  national interest. Abbott and his town crier Bolt have found organisations such as the United Nations meddlers in the ‘free market’ hurdles to their notion of opportunity.
 Tony Abbott  in the past has had no regard for the United Nations as an organisation that hinders his specific national interests Sovereign Borders, Tasmanian Forests, The Great Barrier Reef etc The UN are an unnecessary irritant. At the moment however he is basking in the the light of Labour’s efforts to get Australia an elected seat on the Security Council. Basking because that light should have some effect on the pall over his personal opinion poll standing. The media at the moment have lauded Australia for what? It’s membership and leadership in the United Nations all due to Rudd’s and  Labour’s efforts which were readily derided by both Abbott and Bishop in parliament.
  Who else to roar for MH17, which of the ten non-permanent members of the Security Council could do that job of leading the resolution, None had any passengers on board.Argentina (2014),Australia (2014),Chad (2015),Chile (2015),Jordan (2015),Lithuania (2015),Luxembourg (2014),Nigeria (2015),Republic of Korea (2014),Rwanda (2014)  Australia alone had to take up the task. The Dutch and Malaysians are not members. What a better way to repair ones poll standing and keep the  opposition silent. It’s the coal-itions dream come true. This is the best thing to have happened to Abbott since the election. Watch him milk it.
Europe is being held to ransom by their reliance on Russia’s oil and gas pipe-lined through the Ukraine. Germany clearly saw that. Their energy policies were developed to counter this weakness. That’s why they are leaders in renewable energy production.
 Abbott and his town crier Bolt with mining industry support want to sell coal. What better way than  to block Russia’s fossil fuel export by calling for economic sanctions. They just might improve our currently threatened coal industry. Of course  they will continue to push the Global Warming Denier barrow but not for any  real scientific reason other than it’s an easy media filler. Is it a coincidence that a business-backed, mining group sponsored report was released today that our renewable energy target of 20% should be abolished because it will cost 5000 jobs and $29 bill by 2020. A report to counter the Government’s RET review that consumers would be better off by $56 a year from 2021. With the RET heading to become 28% of energy production the Australian Chamber of Commerce want it reined in. Power companies don’t want households running on free solar energy nor do mining companies with over 50 years of coal in the ground.
Abbott will call for sanctions on Russsia  in order to get them to retaliate and cut gas and oil to Europe. Australia will send troops to Ukraine just to ensure the likelihood of the above. They will put Australian lives at risk to achieve that aim.
Watch the price of coal go up because of a dumb accident by some rebel cowboys in the Ukraine that were given hardware they really didn’t know how to use. So much miscalculation all to Abbott’s advantage. Russia miscalculated Putin was not the mastermind of some terrorist plot.
