The Ihumatao issue has not yet been resolved, but one of the biggest concerns over this particular matter is the thorny issue of private property rights. The fact that a bunch of thugs can occupy a piece of privately owned land and make demands that the land be gifted back
How he keeps enjoying the privileges of the elite is a complete mystery that clearly has fossilised communist Bernie Sanders worried. After all, he’s a socialist who’s lived off the taxpayer all his life, yet somehow he has ended up being a multimillionaire who owns three houses. Even
If you were to believe the green movement’s propaganda, they are the only squeaky-clean troupe of ideologically pure, selfless servants of the people in the entire Australian polity. Graft, corruption, secrecy, dirty politics…there’s none of that kind of goblin mischief going on, down in Fairy Dell. The
Monday’s Experts always know what’s best. Always tell you what you should’ve done – Weddings, Parties, Anything. There’s certainly no shortage of Monday’s Experts in the wake of Australia’s bushfire crisis. Everyone from politicians to activists to That Bloke Down the Pub is more than
Dale Nimmo Charles Sturt University Have you ever wondered how our native wildlife manage to stay alive when an inferno is ripping through their homes, and afterwards when there is little to eat and nowhere to hide? The answer is adaptation and old-fashioned ingenuity. Australia’s bushfire season is far
We hear the constant dripping tap of the doomsters telling us we must embrace renewable energy, like wind. Quite apart from the bird mincing, the rare earth metal mining, the concrete, the noise pollution, the visual pollution, and their inefficiency, it turns out that they aren’t very green at
I get the feeling that Jacinda suddenly wants to be taken seriously. She has announced that there will be no wedding this year, thus presumably responding to the #Turnardern movement that said we want a prime minister who doesn’t spend all her time doing fluff pieces and photoshoots. She
Macca While listening to Magic Talk off and on, I had a bit of a lightbulb moment regarding the Green’s true agenda. I missed a lot of it but the talk was about the use of large furnaces to burn plastics and other rubbish. My understanding of this process
Stuff is just loving the pimping of climate catastrophe on their site. The latest thing attributed to climate change is a hot summer’s day: Apparently Auckland, presumably due to climate change as they’ve plonked the story under that category, has used a lot of water. When you click
The arse-covering and blame-shifting in the wake of Australia’s catastrophic summer continues with unseemly haste. It goes without saying that the odious Greens were first out the gate, trying to exploit the fires for grubby political advantage, even as forests, houses, wildlife and people were burning. Now, politicians and
… and will never do so again. There were a couple of reasons why I stopped donating. The first was because so many charities are effectively political activists these days. If I donate to a cause, I want the money to go to that cause, not to political advertising or activism.
The Legacy media long ago abandoned rigorous truth-telling, in favour of peddling influence and “narratives”. The Legacy media too often don’t report the news any more, they try and make it. A case in point was the “Amazon is burning” propaganda avalanche, late last year. Never mind that the
Humans have an unfortunate tendency to view the peculiarities of their particular time and place as a kind of immutable standard. But, as Heracleitus wrote so long ago, “all is flux”. Change is the only constant in nature. Too many Australians today think that the “natural” state of the land
Viv Forbes saltbushclub.com Politicians hide behind enquiries – their magic answer to all problems, especially bushfires. Announcing enquiries give the impression of decisive action, they generate fees for armies of barristers, lawyers and bureaucrats, and provide momentary excitement for the media. The proposed 2020 Australian Bushfires corrobboree will provide a
The Green-left are like the sort of gullible rubes who’ll happily buy any old tat, so long as the seller waves their hands and mysteriously intones some mumbo-jumbo about “wooo…ancient wisdom”. Or Mrs Costanza on Seinfeld, who thought that something was only “wise” so long as it came
