What is electric cars’ dirty little secret? Is it the batteries made with minerals dug up by children in dirty, dangerous, slave-like conditions? Is it the greenhouse gas 1,400 times more potent than CO2 which is used as a coolant by Chevy, Nissan and Tesla? It’s something
The government has released a Draft National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity. It seems to be trying to right all the wrongs out in the environment and is going to be very costly for Local Authorities (read ‘Ratepayers’ – you and me) to implement. As drafted, it goes well beyond the

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.
