If R. Jones and T. Gordon (CW letters 16 December 2012) think that Bill Stefaniak’s column should not be published in the Canberra Daily, then I suggest they both go back to their left-leaning, Labor/Greens-loving media echo chambers.

If R. Jones thinks conservative politicians look only after their own interests at the expense of future generations, he should look at the current federal Liberal government that has overseen Australia being one of the top countries in the world as far as vaccinations go and the lack of Covid deaths.

What has been a national disgrace is the attitude of the majority state Labor premiers and their iron-fisted locking of state borders when there has been little covid transmission. WA’s McGovern and Queensland’s Palaszczuk have prevented Australian families from visiting their loved ones and at the same time locked out their own citizens from their own homes, whist Victoria’s Dan Andrews has been drunk on power locking down Victorians for an inordinate amount of time, creating a pandemic of mental health problems that has been swept under the carpet, not to mention his failure of hotel quarantine that resulted in 800 deaths and subsequent lying in what amounted to a kangaroo court to avoid criminal charges. 

Do these “leaders” sound like politicians that are looking after future generations? Those poor young people in Labor-led states have had the best years of their life ripped away from them and they will never get them back.

Here in the ACT, our Labor/greens government continually run a wrecking ball through our green spaces in this once beautiful bush capital, putting up concrete jungle, high rise apartments that do little to cool the environment. Is this what R. Jones thinks is an adequate address to what they call global heating.

Don’t get me started on the condition of these Labor-led states/territories health departments either. Maybe that explains their paranoia for locking down to a virus that has a 99 per cent survival rate for those infected. 

Is this what R. Jones thinks is looking after future generations? A pathetic health system that is the responsibility of the states and territories.
