Dear Climate So, how are you feeling? I thought it was time someone asked, given the constant abuse you receive these days. Remember when all this started, decades ago now? When we humans first started questioning your ability to do your job, at least we blamed ourselves. We had the

By Patriotrealm After the fear and anguish of the anticipation of a Labor victory in the election of Saturday, I slept a relieved sleep that we had been spared the horror of a Socialist takeover of Australia. But that victory was somehow tarnished by the defeat of some of our
By John The Australian election result was a great result for the Liberal/National Coalition and for common sense. There are very definite lessons to be learned from this election by our political parties. WHAT HAPPENED ON THE LEFT The Australian Labor Party went to the electorate with a radical
By Wibble Is Greta Thunberg really a 16-year-old child prodigy? If you look at what is printed by the mainstream media you could be forgiven for thinking so. After all, she seems to be leading a millennial revolution to save the planet, all at age 16. She wrote
