“It is more likely that those of a conservative disposition will have a greater quotient of inherent, and I think healthy, scepticism… We get attacked for this, but scepticism is one of the all-time great Australian attributes. It is one of the things Australians are famous for.”
Not only are those on the “left” (or “progressives”) gullible and guilty of groupthink, they are un-Australian too. Well, so says Liberal Senator Nick Minchin. Apparently that’s why people are swallowing this climate change thing hook, line and sinker: they’re not sceptical enough.
If only us “lefties” would be as sceptical of others’ opinions as those great Australians Andrew Bolt and Timmeh Blair. They would never accept anything other people say at face value and incorporate it into their belief system unthinkingly. Oh… hang on.
