JOHN CARROLLThe success of Australia as a flourishing, dynamic and prosperous democracy has had social cohesion as one of its backstays. Signs are that this fruitful cohesion may be coming under hazardous pressure, pressure that began in the Covid years and is being exacerbated by a dissociation between the political class and the needs of … Continue reading THE TRIUMPH OF IDEOLOGY

Climate Emergency?-‘It’s a Lie!’
by IAN PLIMER – I DON’T have opinions. I have facts. They are repeatable and validated. Fact #1: No one has ever proven that human emissions of carbon dioxide drive global warming. For more than two decades I have been asking scientists for this proof. If proven, it would also have to be shown that natural carbon dioxide … Continue reading Climate Emergency?-‘It’s a Lie!’
Bowen betting our economic future on renewable delusion
NICK CATER You don’t have to be a climate sceptic to conclude that the government’s energy policy is bonkers. You just have to listen to the Energy Minister’s words. Last week, Chris Bowen outlined the challenge of meeting Labor’s 2030 emissions reduction target to a conference in Sydney. Reducing emissions by 43 per cent will … Continue reading Bowen betting our economic future on renewable delusion
Hit Putin where it’ll hurt by turning the tables on energy.
ADAM CREIGHTON11:00PM OCTOBER 12, 2022The best and perhaps only way to undermine Russia’s war machine in the long term is for the US and Europe to junk their unrealistic and failing quest to eradicate fossil fuels from their energy supply and instead flood the world with hydrocarbons. It is political heresy to say it, but … Continue reading Hit Putin where it’ll hurt by turning the tables on energy.
Queen Elizabeth II and Bourke
An extract from my yet to be published memoirs. "In March 2000, when we learnt the Queen was going to Bourke, I said to my wife Gail I didn’t think we should intrude on what was the big event for Bourke locals-we were Sydneysiders. She said “Well you can please yourself. But Bourke is my … Continue reading Queen Elizabeth II and Bourke
Now Here’s Some Common Sense
ANOTHER QUOTE OF NOTE: From Whitehaven Coal boss Paul Flynn, who is riding high on astronomical coal prices, and worried our emissions reduction targets are out of step with the reality of delivery. “Wind and solar don’t provide reliable power. It is the definition of all care and no responsibility in the energy sector. You take … Continue reading Now Here’s Some Common Sense
RIDICULOUS – AND TERRIFYING
I agree with every word of this! I am reminded of the old saying-You can fool some of the people all the time,and all of the people some of the time. But, you can't fool all the people all the time. CHRIS KENNY-06.08.2022-The Weekend Australian For a moment there, one of the teals could have … Continue reading RIDICULOUS – AND TERRIFYING
The Place Where I Live
I love where I live. If you drive up (north) the Pacific Highway from the Sydney CBD, the road and the railway run almost in parallel, sticking to the ridge. It reminds me, on a somewhat smaller scale, that the first settlers took twenty-five years to find their way over the Blue Mountains. They expressed … Continue reading The Place Where I Live
The Environment
I have a head of steam! Let me begin by explaining that for 80 years I have had extensive "grass roots" exposure to rural Australia from the Snowy Mountains (schoolboy) to the Murray Darling and Lake Eyre Basins and a year each in South and Western Australia. I spent the second half of May this … Continue reading The Environment
Climate Change and Renewables
I am astonished at the number of highly intelligent people who continue to take climate change as a “given” and the pursuit of renewables as the solution. Can’t they read and see what is happening in Germany, Britain, Sri Lanka and many other countries? Countries that have realised at the present state of technology (particularly … Continue reading Climate Change and Renewables
