As I wondered some time back, regarding the then-latest report from Net Zero Australia: do these clowns even read their own reports? Because, even on their own reckoning, the costs (financial and environmental) of the “Net Zero” mania are mind-boggling. By their own admission, the cost of doing nothing to
As I wrote yesterday, the Albanese government is a parliament of headless chickens. His entire term to date has not just been about lighting fires of his own (the Brittany Higgins affair, the Voice referendum), but running around, clucking and squawking, as spot fires erupt all around him. The latest
I have to say, I’m at a loss to understand what the point of this long-winded Jeremiad from Australia’s taxpayer-funded left-wing behemoth really is. In sum, they seem to be bitching about the fact that big retailers are selling booze that looks just like the hoity-toity stuff the
When he hasn’t been flitting around the world on taxpayer-funded holidays, Anthony Albanese seems to have spent his entire time in office stepping on one rake after another, and trying to convince everyone that “I meant to do that!”. Sometimes, as was the case with the disastrous “Voice” referendum,
If only we could hook up turbines to the wagging fingers of the nanny statists, we’d have abundant renewable energy, forever. There’s nothing these taxpayer-funded nosey-parkers don’t see fit to hector and finger-wag us about. Especially food. “Food,” as blogger Skepchick said, “is for white liberals what
Ever notice that they never build wind farms or acres of solar plants in Ultimo, Ponsonby, or Fitzroy? It’s funny how green-left types who worship at the altar of their bird-chomping eco-crucifixes and deserts of silicon and glass never want them in their back yards. Put up a field
As if Anthony Albanese hasn’t stepped on enough landmines already, the deadliest ordnance any Labor government can trigger has just started ticking: boats. Illegal boat arrivals have been political kryptonite for Labor for decades, ever since John Howard ordered the Tampa turned back. Since then, the pattern has been
One of the big problems with medical and scientific malpractice is that it’s a lot easier to commit than expose or remedy. Thalidomide, for example: it took years and tens of thousands of deformed babies before the drug was taken off the market. By the time the Wakefield paper
Kurt Mahlburg Kurt Mahlburg is a writer and author and an emerging Australian voice on culture and the Christian faith. He has a passion for both the philosophical and the personal, drawing on his background as a graduate architect, a primary school teacher, a missionary, and a young adult pastor.
We Australians really have become a nation of nasty, bitter wowsers, haven’t we? Once upon a time we either turned a blind eye to, bemusedly tolerated or even celebrated politicians who didn’t mind a beer or two. Fourth prime minister George Reid famously referred to his ample frame
Nothing speaks louder of the complete derangement of the elite classes than their uniform obsession with the bonkers scam of “Net Zero”. On few other issues, apart from immigration, are the political, media, and chattering classes so out of touch with we hoi polloi. “Climate change” might be a monomania
If only insanity was an energy source, we’d be living in abundance forever. Insanity is, as the saying goes, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The loons spruiking “Net Zero” are barking mad. Every time there is a mass power outage, due to failures
I wonder what Labor’s internal polling is telling them? Because, if the latest media stunt from “Photo Op Albo” is anything to go by, they must be very deep in the poo, indeed. The Australian PM is taking a leaf out of Jacinda Ardern’s playbook. Anthony Albanese has
Rt Hon Christopher LuxonPrime Minister Joint statement from the Prime Ministers of Australia, Canada, and New Zealand The Prime Ministers of Australia, Canada and New Zealand yesterday issued the following statement on reports of Israel’s planned military operation in Rafah. We are gravely concerned by indications that Israel is
Half a million Victorians enjoyed a candlelit dinner on Valentine’s Day — whether they wanted it or not. And they’d better get used to it. At least 530,000 homes in Victoria were blacked out yesterday, and hundreds of thousands are likely to remain without power for “days, if
