OUR DEATHLY SUFFOCATION BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA 7 April 2021
(OR HOW WE SHOULD WISH FOR THE DEATH OF NINE/FAIRFAX AND THE GUARDIAN AS WELL AS THE MURDOCH PRESS) It’s accepted as an article of truth that the mainstream media (MSM) is supposed to hold those in power accountable. But there are two problems with that in modern Australia. The first is that the MSM... […]

Why we should feel free to “desecrate” the Australian flag and other shibboleths 5 April 2021
Why we should “desecrate” the Australian flag and to refuse to sing or stand for the anthem or other so-called patriotic symbols and other shibboleths We often read media stories or posts on Twitter, or elsewhere, defending the flag, the national anthem, Australia Day or other icons of nationhood or celebrating the nation state and...

The transition from ICE to EVs and hybrids – summary 4 April 2021
The transition to EVs will be much faster than generally anticipated if the announcements of leading car manufacturers and manufacturing countries is taken for granted. The table below lists these announcements and, based on them, once could assume that by 2030 it will become increasingly difficult to buy new ICE vehicles globally. Additionally it’s likely... […]

Democratic Follies 4 April 2021
The Failure of Representative Democracy Australia’s political parties and its mainstream media exist in a little bubble of self-satisfaction and complacency about our representative democracy – as exemplified recently by Scott Morrison’s reflection that ‘at least in Australia people demonstrating don’t get shot at’. If this is the best measure he can summon of the... […]

The Most Corrupt Government in Australian History – a summary 25 March 2021
The current government is the most dishonest, dangerous, incompetent, corrupt, hypocritical and unaccountable government in Australian political history. By this, I mean the Liberal National party in it’s three terms of office stretching back over eight years. It has undermined every notion of good government and ministerial accountability.

Judgement Day will Come 2 January 2020
I see the firesâ€™s dull dangerous glowIt flickers like the anger in my soulA burning rage at the failed leadersThe tentacles of grief grasp our heartsFor the destruction of our olive landLike the wreathes of smoke curling upEach fire the death of a thousand animalsMurdered on the killing fields of climateA bloody plain of lies,...

Like Lemmings to a Cliff – The Media; Climate 17 November 2019
As the political temperature over climate and fires has risen this week, the media has rushed to apportion blame for both fires and the rising crescendo of outrage at the inaction of conservative (and some Labor) governments across Australia – and at the responses of the Federal Government when questioned, at media conferences, about these...

Murder by any other name – When will we start calling climate science denying politicians what they are: murderers!! 10 September 2019
The Bahamas. This is not an accident (Photo Our News Travis Carroll) Are Scott Morrison, Donald Trump, Bolsonaro, Boris Johnson and a myriad other leaders, former leaders (Abbott), and ministers (Proudfoot, Taylor etc) murderers? In my book, yes. When you take actions that you know are going to kill people then that makes you, arguably,... […]

Looking for Napoleon – inside the French mind 25 March 2018
From these small misunderstandings history is made. The 100 years war. Waterloo. Nuclear testing in the Pacific. The Wogs begin at Calais. La Perfide Albion (Albion being an oldÂ name for England). Even today many French people view the English as being perfidious and Brexit does little to change that.

Why I hate Australia (and why it’s not even a place)! 26 January 2018
Most people think of Australia as a place. But I don’t. You know. “Where are you from?” Australia. But Australia is not a place, it’s simply an idea. A concept. A set values. We may think of Australia as tangible. Surely it is? It’s where we are from. But it’s not – it’s a figment... […]
