Old Mate David Shoebridge is having a hard time keeping out of the news, these days. Whether it’s employing Marxist vandals or getting in Rich People Fights with his neighbours, Shoebridge continues the Greens’ tradition of mouthing off hard-left platitudes while living the most bourgeois lifestyle imaginable.
He’s also continuing the green-left’s hypocrisy of hashtagging that “Black Lives Matter” – while not caring one whit about actual black lives.
A Greens MP is being condemned by Aboriginal groups for risking a ‘Ruby Princess-like’ outbreak of COVID-19 by visiting a remote indigenous community just 48 hours after attending a 20,000-strong protest.
David Shoebridge marched in Sydney’s Black Lives Matter rally on June 6, when protesters ignored health advice to stage a march.
Just two days later, Mr Shoebridge took part in an anti-logging rally with the Gumbaynggirr community in the Nambucca State Forest – almost 500km away.
These idiots live for this stuff. They protest like other people go to the footy or the movies.
And, as is typical of the watermelons party, Shoebridge not only considers himself above the rules that have bound ordinary Australians for months, he actively endangers the very people he hypocritically claims to champion.
It has been well publicised that Aboriginal Australians are at heightened risk for COVID-19. Shoebridge’s little ego trips are as reckless as if he had gone for a cruise and then played Ookie-Mouth with Grandma at the aged care home.
Indigenous leader Warren Mundine slammed Mr Shoebridge, and said a virus outbreak in their vulnerable community would ‘make the Ruby Princess look like a Sunday afternoon picnic'[…]
Mr Mundine said Mr Shoebridge has shown ‘contempt’.
‘He, as an elected official, has really let the side down.’
But, of course, being a Green means you’re an elitist never bound by the same rules as the mere peasants.
But Mr Shoebridge, a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council, said he had ‘no regrets’ about attending the anti-logging rally so soon after the protest.
‘Precautions and social distancing were undertaken at the forest gathering and I have no regrets working with the local Aboriginal and the non-indigenous community to save Nambucca State Forest,’ he said.
Yeah, right, Shoey. “Precautions and social distancing” like you took in Sydney?
Ordinary Australians did it hard for months, sacrificing jobs, income and sanity in line with government diktats, in order to protect vulnerable groups like the elderly and Aborigines. The Greens consider themselves above all that, though.
They’re better than us, after all.
