Eat beef, save the planet

Ian Plimer The Spectator Australia 13 August 2022 Yet again, farmers are under attack. This time, it is the beef industry because, apparently, cattle burp and fart out methane and we’ll all fry-and-die because of the accelerated global warming produced by this methane. Is this fact or fiction? In my field of science, we oftenContinue reading “Eat beef, save the planet”

Teaching suffers for a generation of ideological hijack

Angela Shanahan The Australian August 13, 2022 There was a meeting on Friday of all the education ministers, to try to work out some way of overcoming the appalling problems that beset our education system.

Doomed Planet

A clear case of hot, hotter … hoodwinked Tony Thomas14th August 2022 Australia’s climate alarmists are having a terrible month. Green/Left worrywarts such as the Australian Academy of Science are struggling to cope with the Great Barrier Reef enjoying the largest area of coral cover ever recorded.

The Albanese Amendment ensures a voice will be a disaster

Janet Albrechtsen The Australian August 13, 2022 At a philosophical and principled level, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voice is illiberal, divisive and inequitable. It creates permanent race-based privilege and turns Australia into a constitutionally endorsed two-tier society. Now that the Prime Minister has revealed the words proposed to be inserted into the ConstitutionContinue reading “The Albanese Amendment ensures a voice will be a disaster”

Labor PMs in search of their own ‘Whitlam moment’ do us all a disservice

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price The Australian August 13, 2022 Every Labor prime minister after Gough Whitlam wanted their very own “Whitlam moment”. When I see the photo of Whitlam towering over Vincent Lingiari, pouring sand into his hands, I think of what the sand symbolises. It symbolises welfare dependency, unlimited access to all that is destructiveContinue reading “Labor PMs in search of their own ‘Whitlam moment’ do us all a disservice”

Sophie Elsworth, James Madden The Australian August 9, 2022

Senator Price says FitzSimons, a republican and author of popular history, “bullied”Continue reading “Sophie Elsworth, James Madden The Australian August 9, 2022”

QED

Such a Team! What Could Possibly Go Wrong? 4th August 2022 Comments (13) Burchell Wilson Up until this point I’ve reserved judgment on the Albanese government, largely out of a lack of real interest in the intellectual squalor of Australian public life but also because the Morrison government buried us under a mountain of debtContinue reading “QED”

Kevin Donnelly The Australian August 6, 2022

After reading The Official Politically Correct Dictionary and Guide in the early 1990s, I never realised how infectious, dangerous and widespread political correctness would become. Most of the examples back then were humorous and appeared far-fetched with constructs such as vertically challenged instead of small and chemically inconvenienced for being drunk. Fast forward to moreContinue reading “Kevin Donnelly The Australian August 6, 2022”

Our political class is ridiculous – and terrifying

Chris Kenny The Australian August 6, 2022 For a moment there, one of the teals could have destroyed the planet. Imagine Earth, the only planet known to sustain life, obliterated by a neophyte politician elected on a promise to save it. Simon Holmes a Court would have been asking for a refund. Voters in someContinue reading “Our political class is ridiculous – and terrifying”

Overpaid woke jobs must be first for the chop
