The government doesn't own the buildings in industrial areas. I fully agree that the businesses that do should cover their roofs with solar, it would be economically good for them in most cases.

Well known personalities who have passed away recently (Renamed)

You seem to have missed the bit where I actually agreed with you about it being a stupid thing that he did. But if you're going to simply pound on him without putting the incident into perspective alongside other political leaders in Australia, you're simply having a free kick yourself.
