mayor Adam Belot was basing his about-face on the heavily-debunked Channel 7 News report on nickel manufacturing in Indonesia

He may not have shares in oil or even received much of a bribe. Just rabidly ideologically driven.

I don't understand the useful-idiots who don't even want renewables to succeed. I understand questioning of viability (we need to guard against green-washing) but they get angry whenever there is news of progress with renewables.

But he probably does have shares in oil or received a bribe tho. Better to seem like an idiot than corrupt.

Am always surprised by how little it costs to bribe Australian politicians.
