Have the wheels ever fallen off a government as fast as Albanese’s Labor? Well, possibly Julia Gillard’s: from the moment Gillard broke her clear promise, made the day before the 2010 election, not to introduce a carbon tax, her government was toast. All that was left to decide
If doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity, then we are governed by a classic of barking mad nutcases. Well, I mean, we already knew that: but they just keep on proving it in the most staggering fashion. When, for instance, the nation you’

The Grampus Counter-blaste is not a typo. The title makes use of a paper published by James VI of Scotland and England (1604) in which he roundly condemned the use of tobacco on a number of grounds. His views were 400 years too early and ignored until the last 50
The definition of insanity, it is said, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Which means that the Climate Cult are barking mad. Well, we all knew that already. But it’s one thing to know it, another thing to see it proved over and
Tell me this isn’t a government operation. Right at the time that Australia is facing an energy crisis, power generators are making it even worse by taking capacity out of the grid. Why would they do that? Because, under the rules set down by the government, they will get
In just three weeks, the Albanese government has been thoroughly mugged by political reality. The party who boasted of a vague “plan” to “fix it” are body-slammed with simultaneous energy and cost-of-living crises, including the biggest interest rate hike in 22 years — and suddenly, the “plan” is nowhere to be
John Maunder The ‘Maunder Minimum’ is the name given to the period from 1645 to 1715 when the number of sunspots – ‘storms’ on the sun – became almost zero. The period is named after the solar astronomer Edward Walter Maunder (1851-1928), who was working at The Royal Observatory at Greenwich when
Well, that was fast. Just two weeks in office and the wheels are already falling off the Albanese government. Suddenly, Albo is finding out government involves a lot harder work than just sniping at everything the other guy does, and when you keep telling people you have a plan to
Surging prices of energy in Australia have gotten so bad that even the legacy media can’t ignore it any more. So, they’re falling back on another tried’n’true tactic: lying by omission and blame-shifting. When the Biden administration recently tried to blame America’s spiralling energy prices
This week the Labour Party gloated about their ‘amazing’ leader doing wonderful things overseas on our behalf. As you may know, our amazing PM has wrapped up a landmark White House meeting with President Biden, capping her hugely successful first trip to the US since COVID. I’m emailing just
Cognitive dissonance is the situation of holding “conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviours”. For instance, someone on a strict, calorie-controlled diet who regularly sneaks a doughnut, because “just one won’t hurt”. Note the rationalisation: it’s bullshit, the person making it knows it’s bullshit, but that’s how they

Whenever I’ve tried to debate climate cultists on facts, rather than slogans, it’s astonishing how little they really know. Which is probably no accident. Because, if they stopped and did even a rudimentary beer-mat calculus, their treasured beliefs fall apart. Far easier to just keep shouting, really. One
Surprise, surprise, a taxpayer-funded hub of bourgeois lefty groupthink has been caught spinning lies about “global warming”. No doubt you’re as surprised as I am. I mean, it’s not like global warming alarmists have been caught playing fast and loose with the truth before, is it? Well, if
