Tim Wilson, former director of climate change policy at the Institute of Public Affairs, is now Australia’s “freedom commissioner” in his new $332,000 taxpayer funded role at the Human Rights Commission.
Tim, and the IPA more generally, are quite good at mangling language and philosophical concepts to suit their agenda: basically, allowing business corporations to do whatever they please and to hell with the costs it imposes on others. Except, of course, when it comes to wind farms, where apparently these should be heavily restricted because they impose on other people’s rural views (well, at least the wealthy ones).
