How to avoid making a complete prat of yourself

Some advice for Mr Pratt and those keen to make investments in Environment more effective long term

Moving targets is a reality for environment investors. It need not be so . One less obvious but clear source of moving targets are those recruited to the battle from universities . Like Peter (Peter Andrews story on Australian Story ABC TV this week ) and even Mr Pratt -he's got lots of people telling him about their ideas and innovations - be assured that what these loud speakers lack is not always education - what they lack is experience applied to education and a practicing respect for those few who are properly qualified to carry out surgery------ get better advisers or your quick fix practice sessions will kill off all accountable talk on the subject of an ongoing story of progress.

I don't back to the universities i studied at for answers.(You tend to that in years closer to graduation) . Why does Canberra, the meddling media and the manna driven quangos?

They believe rural indsutry is a subset of all industry ( a sort of economic monoculture) and they are wrong - wrong enough to send the people who try to both understand and care for Australia mad with their blinkered ness and "market knows best" quick fix driven drivel .
Innovation alone will waste Pratts and our countries great desire to do the right thing and do the neccessary good for Australia's future . I believe we all want and can handle the tough medicine - provided we do it together over decades and show proper ownership and respect for those critical components who observe and participate . That way the city will recognise our country is making progress and still has much to offer many other countries in the way of resolution and sustainability advice . But no quick fix or rushing back to rely on the myopia of the microscope brigade. Via quinsy
