The Apotheosis of Adam ‘Stager’ Goodes
Climate is not the only topic where school systems set out to establish a dominant narrative. They also want to inculcate in kids that Western society is racist. Here’s an example of how it’s done — in the face of evidence that Australians are among the least racist in the world. The cult of Indigenous … Continue reading
Turning kids’ heads a mushy green
Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth was weaponised to indoctrinate school kids. A new and glossier climate-indoctrination movie is now being inserted into classrooms, starting with Australia and New Zealand. Australian schools in the past decade have forced literally millions of kids to watch Al Gore’s error-riddled propaganda movie, An Inconvenient Truth. In 2007 an outraged English truck … Continue reading
A case study in govt-funded media bias
Australia’s government broadcaster ABC has been totally captured by leftist group-thinkers. Its top presenter Leigh Sales is a case in point. Take special note of her incredulity here that Trump could question the warmist narrative. Leigh Sales on the ABC TV’s 7.30 last night Sept 16) “interviewed” Donald Trump’s former press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Sales packed … Continue reading
From ‘Angry Penguins’ to an Unquestioned ‘Emu’
My article below might seem off-topic in a climate blog. Not altogether. It’s a case study in how Australian schools are brainwashing kids as young as nine with an hopelessly inauthentic dogma. Teachers by and large are from the low end of university entrants (based on admission scores) and lack the smarts and time to … Continue reading
Kangaroos hop to it on emissions cuts
Australia’s national broadcaster ABC and the green-riddled education system combine to foist fake history and climate nonsense from an “Aboriginal” claimant onto credulous schoolies Sixteen-year-old Fiona Snodgrass-Greencaper (not her real name) arrives home from Williamstown Terrific College and asks, “Mummy, what’s for tea?” Williamstown, for those blessed not to live in Melbourne, is a gentrified … Continue reading
” Kill Climate Deniers” meets “44 Sex Acts”
David Finnigan, who wrote the daintily-titled play Kill Climate Deniers, is adding more lustre to the arts scene with his self-styled “romantic comedy”, titled 44 Sex Acts in One Week. It involves “endurance stunt f***ing”. His inspirational play made the short list of five for the national best-new-play award by Griffin Theatre in Sydney last month. In … Continue reading
Feminist Queer Anticolonial Propositions for the Capitalocene
Climate things reach peak craziness in university gender studies departments. To verify this, take a Valium and read on… Sydney University’s vice-chancellor, Michael Spence, is badgering the federal government for research funding to replace the fee losses from what was its pre-COVID 39 per cent international enrolment. I’m sure his university’s medical … Continue reading
The Curious Avenues of Professorial Inquiry
Professor Petra Tschakert at the University of Western Australia is halfway through a project to “locate loss from climate change in everyday places”. These places include my very own Perth stamping ground of Willagee. Heavens, my parents moved to Willagee in late 1953, when it was raw sand. Willagee featured the Housing Commission’s half-finished jerry-built … Continue reading
The Asylum Atop Their Ivory Tower
At Melbourne University only 18 academics signed the manifesto of Extinction Rebellion last September, including six at professor/associate rank. But academics at RMIT University next door eclipsed that effort thrice over with a thumping 63 signatories, including 15 professors and associate professors. The national roll-call of the XR-petitioning professorial ranks – and remember this is … Continue reading
