Nobody hates like green zealots hate.

‘KIMBERLEY Aborigines who support Woodside’s $30 billion gas hub are being racially abused as “money-hungry coconuts” in an intensifying campaign involving hateful newsletters and graffiti attacks.

And the Aboriginal leader who helped to secure a 30-year package of indigenous benefits in exchange for a gas hub on Western Australia’s far north coast says green groups have betrayed the region’s Aborigines.
…..A newsletter widely distributed in Broome labels Kimberley Land Council chief executive Nolan Hunter as Woodside’s “chief coconut” for his role in securing a $1.5bn deal that will bring education, employment and social benefits to the region’s indigenous population in return for their support for the gas hub project.
……….Mr Hunter said green groups promised in 2007 to support a single site for a gas hub in the region, but now were campaigning hard against the project. “For them, the environment can stay pristine and the people in it can live in poverty and destitution,” he said. “People who oppose the gas have housing, they have income and their kids have good educational opportunities. They want somewhere pristine to come and spend their money on holidays.”..’
