The good thing about most fads is that it’s pretty easy to move on. For those of us who lived before the age of social media, most of our faddish past stays mercifully buried in old photo albums and the long memories of our friends. Some fads, though, are
Viv Forbes Saltbush Club How low Australia has fallen – our once-great BHP now has a “Vice President for Climate”, the number of Australian students choosing physics at high school is collapsing and our government opposes nuclear energy while pretending we can build and operate nuclear submarines. Our Green politicians want
It used to be said, of something pointless, that it was like “sending coal to Newcastle”. Thanks to green lawfare, Australia may soon be doing just that, only with gas. Australia is one of the largest exporters of liquified natural gas in the world, yet its suffering such an acute

Nuclear energy is set to be – no pun intended – the hot-button issue of the next Australian election. After more than a decade in which voters have become increasingly frustrated with what they see as uniparty rule – the so-called “Laborals” – on climate change especially, Coalition leader Peter Dutton has finally hit
Tracy Thurman Tracy Thurman is an advocate for regenerative farming, food sovereignty, decentralized food systems, and medical freedom.

The Australian Greens have rarely garnered more than 11–13 per cent of the vote. Moreover, their vote is almost exclusively concentrated in the wealthiest, inner-city suburbs of the biggest cities. But it’s notable that, every time they’ve wielded political clout – always courtesy of a Labor government desperate
The less affluent Auckland suburb of Otahuhu and others in South Auckland have been targeted by the Auckland City Council’s tree planting programme to increase the tree canopy and green residential areas, whether residents like it or not. “In 2019, Auckland Council voted unanimously to declare a Climate Emergency,
Whenever an eco-alarmist tries to scare you, they almost always employ one or both of two gambits: ‘x amount per year’ and ‘on record’. With regard to the first, it always sounds scary, but what does it actually mean? One we’re all familiar with is the Amazon rainforest: at

I enjoyed reading Steven Joyce’s article in the Weekend Herald, outlining the choice this country faces. His headline “Progress v Protest: The choice is ours” reflected the protests of the weekend before last and commented on the irony of the protest. The participants no doubt possessed many iPhones but
Predictions of Covid deaths using scientific modelling turned out to be wildly inaccurate but served the very useful purpose of ensuring public compliance. The same process also works for the climate change zealots, whose dire predictions are extremely well funded. Twenty-five Italians and 12 New Zealanders spent two months in
