George Soros

Computer illiterate MP, Tony Windsor threw the Labor Party a lifeline after the recent federal election by backing Labor for its National Broadband Network plans. Windsor admits he can't operate a computer. There is no computer on the desk at his electoral office.

The Aboriginal day of infamy

On Australia Day 2012, a group of  Aboriginal activists burned and spat on the Australian flag in front of Parliament House, Canberra.

The more that Australian taxpayers fund the Aboriginal grievance industry, the more its adherents rage against white people and the more outrageous their demands. [Read more]

Climate change 'heretics' rebuff carbon dangers

A CANDIDATE for public office in any contemporary democracy may have to consider what, if anything, to do about "global warming". Candidates should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true.

In fact, a large and growing number of distinguished scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are needed. [Read more]

Bolt trial: free speech under threat

What do these people have in common?

Don’t laugh, but they claim to be Australian Aboriginals. These two are part of a group of  nine "Aboriginals" who hauled a journalist before the Australian Federal Court under the provisions of Australia's notorious Racial Discrimination Act for daring to criticise them for claiming Aboriginality in order to receive some of the special benefits available to Aboriginals.

Global cooling the next big thing

News item 6 February 2012

RESCUE helicopters have evacuated dozens of people from snow-blocked villages in Serbia and Bosnia as the death toll from a severe cold spell climbed to 83. Temperatures fell to -32C in some areas, parts of the Black Sea froze. In Bulgaria, 16 towns recorded their lowest temperatures since records began 100 years ago as four more people were reported dead from hypothermia.

Academics show that emissions trading schemes produce fraud but no emissions reduction

Despite strong opposition from both business and the wider electorate, Julia Gillard is hell-bent on ramming through her carbon tax in order to appease Bob Brown and thus keep herself in power.

Even more concerning is her proposal to convert the carbon tax to an emissions trading scheme in 2014. Because a carbon credit is an intangible good, trading in it is open to fraud and scams. In December 2009 Europol, the European criminal intelligence agency warned that ETS fraud had resulted in around 5 billion Euros in lost revenues and as much as 90 percent of the entire market volume on emissions exchanges was caused by fraudulent activity.

Global warming an unproven hypothesis

 Although there are some variations, it is generally accepted that  the scientific method consists of four distinct steps. [Read more]

Academics opposed to free speech

On 24 January 2010 a group of 50 academics and PhD students put their names to an open letter calling on Notre Dame University in Fremantle Western Australia to stop Lord Christopher Monckton from giving a lecture scheduled to be held at the university later in the week. 

Lord Monckton, renowned climate change sceptic, was due to give  a speech  lambasting climate change alarmists and the rent-seekers living off lavish taxpayer-funded grants to promote the perceived dangers of global warming. [Read more]

Shariah and the stealth jihad

In most Muslim countries the people are subjected to the totalitarian socio-political doctrine that Islam calls shariah, where women are repressed and draconian laws prevail. Under shariah, polygamy, marital rape, wife abuse, female genital mutilation and underage forced marriages are rife.

Translated as "the path", shariah is a comprehensive legal and political framework. Though it certainly has spiritual elements, it would be a mistake to think of shariah as a "religious" code in the Western sense because it seeks to regulate all manner of behaviour in the secular sphere - economic, social, military, legal and political.

Shariah has been, for over a half-century, lavishly financed and propagated by Islamic regimes (particularly Saudi Arabia and Iran), through disciplined international organisations such as the Muslim Brotherhood and the Organisation of Islamic Conference. [Read more]

Global warming according to James Delingpole

The Man Made Global Warming industry is a crock, a scam on an epic scale, fed by the world’s biggest outbreak of mass hysteria, stoked by politicians dying for an excuse to impose more tax and regulation on us while being seen to “care” about an issue of pressing urgency, fuelled by the shrill lies and tear-jerking propaganda of activists possessed of no understanding of the real world other than a chippy instinctive hatred of capitalism, given a veneer of scientific respectability by post-normal scientists who believe their job is to behave like politicians rather than dispassionate seekers-after-truth, cheered on by rent-seeking businesses, financed by the EU, the UN and the charitable foundations of the guilt-ridden rich, and promoted at every turn by schoolteachers, college lecturers, organic muesli packets, Walkers crisps, the BBC, CNBC, Al Gore, the Prince Of Wales, David Suzuki, the British Antarctic Survey, Barack Obama, David Cameron and Knut – the late, dyslexic-challenging, baby polar bear, formerly of Berlin Zoo.

Afghanistan - the unwinnable war

Although there is no direct threat to Australia, the Australian government continues to sacrifice the lives of young soldiers in an unwinnable war in the  far-off hell-hole of Afghanistan.

The war against the Taliban is a war that can never be won. Cells of terrorists can attack coalition troops and then melt into a population that is either friendly or gives tacit support.

A special breakdown of Budget figures shows the Afghan conflict will cost at least $10 billion by the time the Diggers are pulled out in three years time. The amount is enough for seven central teaching hospital or  450 public schools. [Read more]

GetUp exposed: George Soros' tentacles reach into Australia

The left-wing activist group, GetUp claims it is “an independent grass-roots community advocacy organisation.” 

GetUp’s founders David Madden and Jeremey Heimans are heavily involved  in a number of similar  US and global left-wing activist groups, each of which is tied to the shadowy billionaire, George Soros. [More]

The National Broadband Network - an expensive dud?

The federal Labor government has committed, without any detailed cost-benefit analysis,  $43 billion of mostly taxpayers' money, to build the National Broadband Network (NBN), a high-speed broadband network based on providing fibre optic cable to 93% of Australian homes over an eight year period.

The most expensive infrastructure project in Australia's history could turn out to be a massive waste of taxpayers' money by being superseded even before it is completed, as a revolutionary new wireless broadband system is about to hit the US market. [More]
