The moral depravity of the global warming scam.
The Tizona Group —
Authority: 142
Copenhagen has not seen the end of the insanity that is the global warming scam, not by a long shot. The stakes are to high, the money to be made to large, and to many “professional activists” and spoilt brats of the west need their cause to fill the hollow void in their lives. Copenhagen failed, but the date is ...2 days ago -
Journalist says she likes politicians. It must be Christmas!
Bartlett's Blog —
Authority: 114
Annabel Crabb has written a piece on the ABC’s new website, The Drum, admitting that she likes politicians – and then even goes on to say why. Perhaps not surprisingly, I think it is a good piece, although the Christmas spirit of goodwill might have made her a bit more charitable than she needed to be. It ...5 days ago -
Unchartered waters: coral reefs, climate change and mass extinction
Woolly Days —
Authority: 122
While Australian politicians and the media continue to lie or downplay the effects of human-caused climate change, Australian scientists continue to methodically pile up the evidence to the contrary. A new scientific paper has not only stated that the world’s coral reefs including the iconic Great Barrier Reef ...6 days ago -
Politics and Faith – a Nielsen Poll
Pollytics —
Authority: 532
It’s often said that the two things that ought not to be talked about in polite company over the dinner table are politics and religion. With impeccable timing, Nielsen delivers us a poll about both that you can wave around at friends and family that deserve a good snarking over the next few days Parts of this ...6 days ago -
Essential Report – Christmas Edition
Pollytics —
Authority: 532
This week’s Essential Report (delayed on my end by a bit of Christmas travel – apols about that) has the primaries running 47 (up 2) / 37 (up 2) to Labor, washing out into a two party preferred of 57/43 the same way – a one point gain to the Coalition since the last Essential. The Greens are 8 ...1 week ago -
Pissing into the wind
IAIN HALL —
Authority: 125
During my holiday I was watching the reports coming out of the Copenhagen conference with a sort of wry bemusement, to see so many of the Warminista faithful gathered in one place freeze their nuts off in a northern winter struck me as delightfully ironic. The third world mendicants ran to the usual script of [...]1 week ago -
Know Which Fight You’re In
TPN :: GDay World —
Authority: 111
We just got back from the first Brisbane meetup around #nocleanfeed. It was a pretty huge turnout, I’d guess 100 people. Well done to @nicholasperkins and everyone else involved in pulling it together. I gave a short talk, mostly trying to convey the idea that this isn’t a campaign that we will win by trying ...1 week ago -
Liberal party Sex symbols
Penguin unearthed —
Authority: 111
After this column from Janet Albrechtson, arguing that, really, women will vote for Tony Abbott because he’s sexy (blog commentary here and here ): And for completeness sake and because we are all human, there is no point avoiding the other thing that differentiates Abbott. Fit and50-something, the ...1 week ago -
Revealing his stripes
In a strange land —
Authority: 467
Tony Abbott thinks everyone should be indoctrinated with christianity . Oh, he’s disguised it as educating all school children about christianity, of making sure that they all know one of the great texts of our culture, just as school children ought to have some knowledge about Shakespeare, but if you believe ...1 week ago -
What does The Australian think about business regulation costs?
Pollytics —
Authority: 532
What does The Australian think about business regulation costs? Would they believe, perhaps: Small businesses are unhappy at the time and expense in maintaining inflexible award conditions. Tough Nope. That would be ridiculous. What about: Australian companies are unhappy at the time and expense in maintaining ...1 week ago -
PLANTING TREES
DUCKPOND —
Authority: 125
Who knows how the extraordinary levels of methane in the Earth’s atmosphere can be lowered, but it seems that planting more trees is recommended at part of carbon capture. Straightforward as such a proposal might seem it has created political problems for the newly instituted right wing, anti carbon emission ...1 week ago -
And meanwhile, back on Planet Janet ...
Still Life With Cat —
Authority: 564
I missed Janet Albrechtsens bizarre paean of praise to Tony Abbotts honesty, sexiness and social grace in yesterdays Australian and frankly I wish Id missed it altogether, but since it has been called to my attention, here is an interpretation. Her overall argument appears to be that, in general (and in spite of ...1 week ago -
Electoral Consequences of Net Censorship
Pollytics —
Authority: 532
What are the electoral consequences of net censorship? To sum it up – next to none, at least in terms of sitting ALP members that would be at a decent risk of losing their seats. There will quite possibly be a number of very close contests where, say, 500 people changing their two party vote over net censorship ...1 week ago -
Abbott’s bodgie, smug diatribe on unions
Andrew Bartlett —
Authority: 469
The Tony Abbott “Winston Churchill” speech that was leaked to The Oz yesterday has been posted on the Liberal website, and apart from the predictable “bring it on” rhetoric over Labor’s ETS big new tax class redistribution mechanism, it also contains some curious observations on industrial relations. ...1 week ago -
In Communion with Kevin
Coo-ees from the Cloister —
Authority: 128
Weve not published this story until now as it created much argument and angst in the Cloister. Br Pelagius is a Kevin Rudd fan - lets face it. And he made a considerable effort of defending the PM in the latest Catholic saga. Blame the priest. Blame the nun. You cant blame Kevin, he may have been ignorant, was heard ...2 weeks ago -
NSW heading for a smashing.
Pollytics —
Authority: 532
In other news, sun rises in east, old man drives Volvo etc etc. Newspoll via The Oz today brings us a particularly dismal poll for NSW Labor, even by their usual lowly standards. The primaries are running 44 (up 2) / 26 (down 4) to the Coalition. Do not adjust your screen, that says twenty six . The ...2 weeks ago -

Pollytics —

This week’s Essential Report comes in with the primaries running 46 (steady) /35 (up 1) to Labor, washing out into a two party preferred of 58/42 the same way. The Greens are on 10 (up 1) while the broad “Others” come in on 9 (down 2) . This comes from a two week rolling sample of 1875, ...2 weeks ago -
Look at the changes, not at the levels
Andrew Leigh —
Authority: 122
A few people have asked me recently for my view on “ The Spirit Level ” by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, which is apparently having some impact in policy circles. John Kay’s view in the FT comes closest to my own: a larger source of irritation is the authors’ apparent belief that the application of ...2 weeks ago -

Global Warming Watch —

One of the most useful sayings that French, that fabulous language, has given us is hoist on his own petard - to be blown up by your own bomb (pronounced bembh for ze Pink Panther fans).Petard also handily translates to fart -- the same noise emanating from Malcolm Turnbulls opposition backbench whenever he tried to ...2 weeks ago -
