“Stop the War = on Land Owners, Home Owners and Shareholders.”=

The Carb= on Sense Coalition today claimed that the war on carbon was just another battl= e in the long war on property rights by populists in Parliament.

&nb= sp;

Speaking yesterday at the well attended annual meeting of Property Rights Australia = in Emerald, the Chairman of “Carbon Sense”, Mr Viv Forbes, said th= at Mark Twain was right – “No man’s life liberty or property= is safe while parliament is sitting”.

&nb= sp;

He added= :

&nb= sp;

“T= he war on property rights is always carried out under the spurious slogan of “the public interest”.

&nb= sp;

“I= t is always secretly serving a private interest.

&nb= sp;

“M= ainly it is being used by politicians to buy votes from swinging voters or to att= ract green preferences.

&nb= sp;

“C= urrently ‘global warming’ and ‘carbon pollution’ are their preferred vote winners. As these scams are exposed as grubby schemes to ser= ve private interests in the carbon trading and alternate energy industries, new slogans will be found.

&nb= sp;

“B= ut always it will be an attack on the right of property owners to use and enjoy the security of their own property.

&nb= sp;

“F= armers have been robbed of their rights by bans on controlling woody weeds and regrowth on their properties. Seaside property values are being damaged by sudden changes in zoning laws and development plans using the excuse of possible sea level changes. Shareholders in mining companies have seen the value of their retirement funds slump under the threat of super taxes neede= d by the federal government to balance the books after the extravagant stimulus packages and roof insulation disasters. Real job opportunities for aborigin= al people are destroyed by ‘Wild Rivers’ legislation. Fishermen are being deprived of the right to fish, and foresters are locked out of the forests.

&nb= sp;

“A= nd at this moment many property rights are being trampled to force feed the unnatural growth of the wind, solar and natural gas industries, using vario= us spurious climate excuses. Those whose assets are suffering include landowne= rs, miners, tax payers, shareholders and electricity consumers.

&nb= sp;

Mr Forbes advised members of Property Rights Australia to focus on the real problem, which is in parliament.

&nb= sp;

“I= t is not other property owners such as miners, gas producers and native title claimants who are your main enemy – they too have bits of paper signe= d by politicians giving them rights which are often vague and, too often, overlap and degrade your property rights. These overlapping property rights are at = the root of all discord between various classes of property owners.<= /span>

&nb= sp;

“My advice to all land owners is “Know your rights, get good legal advice, negotiate hard with other conflicting property owners, but keep out of court battles with them – the only winners in that battle are the lawyers.<= o:p>

&nb= sp;

“F= ocus your legal weapons and court actions on government property invaders, and m= ake sure your politicians feel the heat.

&nb= sp;

“A= nd as the global warming scam is exposed, watch for their next excuse for grab= bing control of your lives and property.

&nb= sp;

“T= here will be one – bio-diversity, sustainability, soil conservation, ocean acidity, saving something cuddly, energy conservation, or, most likely, all= of the above.”
