As already reported in The BFD, the political jackals of the green-left are pouncing on Australia’s bushfire crisis before the ashes are even cool. First, there was Tim Flannery’s climate muppet show, the “Emergency Leaders for Climate Action”. There being no show without Punch, GetUp have quickly
It’s bad enough that, as Australia’s bushfire crisis rolls on, we have to put up with green vultures swooping to exploit the tragedy for both political and monetary gain. But, the most truly disgusting human jackals are arsonists and looters. Police arrested 183 people for lighting bushfires across
It’s true that disasters bring out the best in some people – and they also bring out the worst. Where’s there’s a disaster, there are always looters and other opportunistic scum. Then there are the green vultures who swoop on the first whiff of smoke. Bullying left-wing
Isn’t it odd that every proposed “solution” to climate change requires either massive overreach by governments, or mountains of taxpayer’s cash, or most often both? The biggest, most expensive climate boondoggle foisted on long-suffering taxpayers is without a doubt “renewable” energy. Renewables, their advocates insist, are just
Crikey. Strewth. Well, tie me kangaroo down, Sport. Who would’a thunk that: prescriptive and controlled bush burn-offs are good for the environment and can save property too. But there’s a catch, it’s only a good idea for indigenous people – ‘cos culture. In fact, Australia has been
I hope my esteemed colleague, Lushington Brady, will not mind me invading his patch just this once, but I really felt impelled to comment on the awful situation in Australia at the moment. As our closest neighbours, and the nation that is always first to come to our aid in

Scientific claims are only worth the data they’re based on. In turn, that data is only as good as the methodology by which it’s collected. Among other things, experimenters should absolutely rigorously compare apples with apples. Measuring two different things, however similar they might be, and pretending that
When the smoke finally clears from the fires burning along Australia’s east coast, there will be the inevitable government inquiries, almost certainly a royal commission. The findings of which will almost certainly be stealthily ignored. “The amount of prescribed burning occurring in Victoria is inadequate. it is concerned that
Awareness and voices are raised in criticism of government officials who restricted firebreak cutting and exacerbated the loss of lives, property and animals in Australia’s ferocious bush fires. “We’ve lost two people in my family because you dickheads won’t cut trees down,” Warwick Spooner told Nillumbik Mayor
As recently reported on The BFD, the latest climate muppet show, the “Emergency Leaders for Climate Action”, has been exposed as just another publicity stunt from the world’s least-reliable soothsayer, Tim Flannery. Naturally, the Great Predicto’s new collection of sock puppets spout the usual, discredited talking-points.
In what must rank as the biggest surprise since the discovery that water is wet, country-shopping parasite Behrouz Boochani is at it again. New Zealand was foolish enough to open the door to this grifting rodent, and, surprise, surprise, he’s bunkered down in a dark corner of the
Despite the predictable screeching of the climate cultists, ghoulishly trying to pump up the tyres of their clapped-out bandwagon by hitching it to the current NSW bushfires, the fact remains that it ain’t climate change wot dun it. The biggest proximate cause is the devastating drought which has
