I'm so disillusioned ... sigh.
How can this happen?
How can a bicycle meeting accept money from an oil and gas company?
How can bicycle delegates not feel compromised by the oily $$$ being splashed around?
Doesn't this fly in the face of everything this conference stands for?
Doesn't this fly in the face of everything that sustainable urban transport stands for?
Are we so gullible we didn't see Big Oil rubbing their greasy palms together as they watched us sign up for this faustian bargain.
How can we buddy up with such an environment wrecker?
This is Australia ... sigh again

After listening to last week's Background Briefing programme on 'The Price of Power' I couldn't help but feel extremely suspicious of the Ausgrid helicopter that flew over my place today.
"Hmmmn why are you here?" I thought. "What exactly are you looking at? What infrastructure recommendations will come out of your joy-flight over my roof?"
I just can't trust any of the fossil fuel power generators anymore; they've completely blown it and the fact that they're cosying up to the PM to get him to axe the 'renewable-energy target' is unfathomably dispicable.
Definitely time for a spot of marching ... #marchinmay

British, but could just have well been written for us here in Australia.
FYI:
Fucking PFIs (fucking private finance initiatives)
... equivalent to
Fucking PPPs (fucking private public partnerships)
