Megalomaniac and Climate Change Minister Penny Wong has urged MT to condemn comments made by Coalition members questioning AGW on a recent Four Corners programme. Let me offer a translation of Wong’s response: “If he [Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull] is serious about acting on climate change (promoting big government socialism and control) he has to live up to the tough talk (socialist propaganda from Radio National) and he should repudiate the views (crush independent thinking...

Rudd’s household fibre to node network plans have been panned by Rupert Murdoch, who claims that Rudd will have to eventually right down half the asset value of the venture. I made a similar claim sometime ago. The US edition of the WSJ has also renewed its attack 0n the plan: The NBN, a tremendously awful idea, is a case in point. The government wants to spend $39 billion to deliver 100 megabits to every household in the next decade, without the slightest idea how it might be done comm... Read Full Story

Rudd claims that opponents of the climate change agenda will hurt future children. According to Bjorn Lomborg it is the exact opposite: Getting basic sanitation and safe drinking water to the three billion people around the world who do not have it now would cost nearly $4 billion a year. By contrast, cuts in global carbon emissions that aim to limit global temperature increases to less than two degrees Celsius over the next century would cost $40 trillion a year by 2100. These cuts will do n... Read Full Story

From the BBC about a man who challenged in court his sacking, claiming that he was discriminated against for pushing his climate change beliefs at work. …Mr Nicholson said he was delighted by the judgement for himself and other people who may feel they are discriminated against because of their views on climate change. His solicitor, Shah Qureshi, said: “Essentially what the judgment says is that a belief in man-made climate change and the alleged resulting moral imperative is ca... Read Full Story

By my count, 48 people have so far been lured to their deaths due to changes in refugee visa arrangements approved by Rudd: At least one person has died while another 11 remain missing, feared drowned, after a boat carrying 39 suspected asylum-seekers sank 350 nautical miles north-west of the Cocos Islands on Sunday.  So potentially that is 58 people that have so far died, tacitly encouraged by Rudd to engage people smugglers to get to Australia. More cruelty awaits however, with Rudd dumping... Read Full Story

I  was under the distinct impression that Rudd thought the Christmas Island detention centre was a white elephant. What is it now then? KEVIN Rudd is preparing to double the size of Australia’s Christmas Island detention centre in a stark confirmation that his government expects a continuing flood of asylum-seekers from Sri Lanka. The multi-million-dollar upgrade, sparked by a sharp increase in boatpeople arrivals in the past month, is expected to lift the facility’s capacity to a... Read Full Story

…the story will be inspired by global warming doom-mongering: Thirty years on and Mad Max 4: Fury Road is about to restart the local movie industry, being filmed entirely in Sydney and Outback NSW. Read Full Story

So Rudd has already gotten Japan offside, more recently China,ignored India, while the USA basically ignores him, but at least he still has Gordon Brown as a ‘good socialist how to destroy a nation’ friend. Next stop of the world ‘how to lose friends’ tour, Indonesia. I can’t imagine that SBY is terribly pleased with Rudd. Certainly Howard never dumped his illegal immigration problem on Indonesia like Rudd has done. Oh, and recall Wilson Tuckey’s comments a... Read Full Story

I picked this up at the Australian Conservative , regarding the ABC’s propaganda effort to encourage potential immigrants to engage in criminal practices in order to obtain permanent Australian residency. From the ABC’s blog Off Air, where ABC journalists drop any pretence to objectivity and let their left-wing fantasies run free. The journalist is Chris Uhlmann, and we are treated to a predictable moralising diatribe about how Australia should have an open doors immigration polic... Read Full Story

Well I never thought it would happen, but it looks like the ALP has said no to John Howard being the Chairman of the NRL Commission: The Herald can reveal that Mr Albanese was instrumental behind the scenes in lobbying the NRL against giving the former prime minster a role on the code’s new independent commission… The minister rang the NRL chief executive, David Gallop, as well as other league officials to tell them it was ”a stupid idea”. Mr Albanese also marshalled o... Read Full Story
