I’m sitting in a shopping mall enjoying my first flat white after weeks of instant coffee in the Great Sandy Desert and just idly watching the world pass me by. My focus is drawn to a display set up by Woodside Energy, attended by well presented black and white guys and girls. Hovering nearby is
Bob Brown attacks the media
News Corporation are getting attacked by the Dark Forces as Bob Brown calls for an inquiry in the wake of the troubles in Britain. He wants to canvas new licensing requirements for major newspapers, new “fit and proper” character tests for their proprietors, new curbs on foreign entrants and a comprehensive review of media ownership
Lee Rhiannon’s red tinge
Still think The Greens are just a group of harmless tree hugging hippies? Then read this
Social engineering at its best
The Greens have secured a Productivity Commission review into fuel excises, which could ultimately make all drivers pay more for petrol. The Greens said they would continue to push for fuel to be priced in a way that reflected its impact on the environment. “We want Australians to drive less and … drive more efficiently,”
Bob under the spotlight
There is only one positive I can see with the Greens holding balance of power in the Senate and that is – more scrutiny. For years Bob Brown has been making outlandish statements on his ABC and in the media and no one has called him to order or demanded he explain why he is
Rediculous to sublime
The Government destroys an entire industry worth about $300 million a year and then offers the loosers $30 million to go away and be quiet. Won’t work. Gillard says there is no quick fix for the ALP’s huge stuff-up and it’s certainly true that offers from the government aren’t going to help any time soon.
Founding fathers confused
TWO founding fathers of the Greens say the split between the old-school environmentalists and the new generation of ideologically driven urban activists now swelling the parliamentary ranks could destabilise the party and alienate voters. Damn right it could – in fact is is. What Drew and Sanders don’t understand, or at least don’t mention, is
Nuclear Power
Dave Sweeney from the Australian Conservation Foundation says Australia has a direct moral responsibility for any nuclear fallout. Fair enough as long as we accept that Japan has a direct moral responsibility for Aussies killed in accidents involving Japanese vehicles. Same logic. The Greens and Lefties will be crowing about the danger of Nuclear power
Who’s running the country?
We are facing a disastrous situation. The Greens, who represent about 13% of the electorate are currently the defacto government. They have one, I’ll repeat that, ONE member in the House of Reps and they are driving the debate. Same sex marriage, euthanasia and climate change voodoo are not high priorities amongst Australians with the
Carbon tax
My standard tariff electricity bill has increased from $417.00 to $585.00 for the summer quarter over the years of the Anna Bligh reign. Same usage with an increased rate – all courtesy of the Queensland ALP. Thanks Anna! Now Julia (there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead)Gillard is going to make
