MTWELLINGTON-590x400As a serious greenie type, I rarely get around to posting much on this site that’s (deliberately) humorous.

But I have been enjoying the efforts of a guy called Fast Freddy, in the build up to the Tasmanian election.

His website says:

Fast Freddy is your independent candidate for Denison in the Tasmanian state election 2014.

Fast Freddy has always been a strong believer in free market economics, big business, small government and unrestricted access to natural resources.

Freddy’s hobbies include four wheel driving, shooting native wildlife, binge drinking, golf and gambling. He is passionate about gun rights, land clearing, climate skepticism and driving his G class Mercedes SUV at high speeds.

Given we have been tracking the debate about the proposal to build a cable car on Mt Wellington, I thought his election pitch for the mountain was worth sharing.

You can see the film here. (NB: it is fairly ‘sweary’).

His facebook page is here. He is currently seeking financial support to ‘create more populist policy on the run’ and fund his election campaign.
