But you almost certainly would resent the huge chunk being deducted every payday. If so, then spare a thought for the poor old primary producer. Farmers, foresters and miners often see their money being taken from them and given to groups who try to destroy their livelihood. Progress for publicly funded environmental activists and think tanks almost invariably spells doom for some poor worker. National parks and heritage areas are well and good, but can get out of hand.
Environmental zealots appear to have an almost insatiable desire for land and resources.
A desire which is easily the equal of the much maligned grasping capitalist and far in excess of normal people. Give them an inch and they do not just try and take a mile, but the whole State. This land and the resources it contains are not allowed to be put to productive use. Its raw materials cannot be translated into wanted products and entrepreneurs can not use it to create wealth. Needless to say Tasmania consistently has the highest unemployment rate in Australia.
