Congrats to paleontologist Dr Tim Flannery for new international recognition in the peer-reviewed global climate literature. Dr Flannery is head of Australia’s Climate Council, a Fellow of the deep-green Australian Academy of Science, and previously federal Labor’s Climate Commissioner on a modest $180,000 a year for a three-day week. Now his credentials have been further burnished, having … Continue reading

Making Kids Shrill, Scared and Stupid
Oh my goodness! Australian schoolkids by the million are being saturated with actor and climate hysteric Damon Gameau’s ridiculous climate-zealotry film 2040. [1] “By the million”? I’m scrupulous with facts and Gameau’s actual quote on a marketing video was “reaching as many as 948,400 students”. But the video was made a year or so back. Since then his total … Continue reading
Of Ratbags, Protests and Selective Policing
Victoria’s bold gendarmes in Ballarat last September arrested and handcuffed a 28-year-old pregnant woman in her kitchen in pyjamas for anti-lockdown “incitement” on a Facebook post., which she described as a “bit of a bimbo moment”. Yet somehow Dan Andrews’ police were impotent for nearly two hours after two Extinction Rebellion activists parked their hired truck … Continue reading
The Frozen Wastes of the Warmist Mind
16th February 2021 Heard the Antarctic is melting, especially from a feminist perspective? Of course you have, just as I was once again reminded by the tour guides’ commentary on a recent joy flight over the still frozen continent. Lovely trip, incredible scenery, and all washed down with lashings of pseudo-scientific bilge. On New Year’s … Continue reading
How the Left invaded and trashed a different legislature
The Capitol invasion was foreshadowed in 1996 by an invasion and riot at The Australian federal parliament in 1996. Media handling of each – very similar – event is enlightening. What a mystery! Pundit Laura Tingle on the government-financed Australian Broadcasting Commission TV’s 7.30 program last night (January 11) showed 13 seconds of clippage from 1996 of a crowd … Continue reading
The Hilaria-ous Case of the Pseudo Señora
Escandalo! Among Hollywood’s Trump-hating and climate-doom celebrities, actor Alec Baldwin stands tall. I’ve enjoyed his Glengarry Glen Ross movie several times, but he’s a nasty person with sadistic impulses. Plus he’s another of those Hollywood hypocrites, splashing his $US60 million wealth on big houses and big toys in New York, while telling the plebs to catch buses and … Continue reading
The Mushrooming of the 2020 US Election
On December 23 President Trump made a powerful speech summing up facts behind the purported win by Joe Biden of the US election. Our own transcript is below. As is normal, the mainstream US media and the Australian media en bloc have ignored or ridiculed this speech. Their narrative is that Trump is a spiteful and buffoonish loser. In … Continue reading
Beware, Parents, Your Kids Are Being ‘Scootled’
When I noticed that a top-tier federal-state education body is providing lesson materials for teachers, I decided to take a look. The body is Education Services Australia (ESA), a company set up by federal-state education ministers. ESA provides free supplementary online materials for teachers via 20,000-plus pages on its Scootle portal. No mickey-mouse operation, it’s all keyed precisely … Continue reading
The Things Kids Learn from Their Australian Broadcasting Commission
Australia’s ABC rivals BBC as a projector of all things leftist especially global warming hysteria. This article attacks the ABC from another viewpoint: as massive hypocrites on feminism. In 2019-20, the team’s focus was to reach younger Australians, their families and their wider communities in a way that was both meaningful and beneficial. — ABC annual … Continue reading
The Climate Cult’s Brat Brigade
In the Iraq-Iran wars of the 1980s, Ayatollah Khomeini sent 12-year-old Iranian schoolchildren swarming into no-man’s-land to detonate the mines. The keen kids wore devotional slogans on red headbands and each carried a small metal key to open the gates of Paradise. The analogy with enrolling Australian kids as zero-emission fanatics is not perfect. The kids’ … Continue reading
