No free lunch in Australia's new era

OK. Tomorrow, please God, a new era begins in Australia, of paying our way for the resources we extract, and for what it costs to repair the mess we make of God's good creation. As I was taught when I grew up in conservative Killara, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Actually we humans get a lot for free, but we can't keep messing with nature forever.
