Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsWe must beware how much ruin is in our nation — Greg Sheridan, The Australian
If this wicked legislation survives intact it will inevitably be used to prosecute the destructive agenda of modern, ideological identity politics. Identity politics, or communal politics, is always accompanied by a hysterical, populist fear campaign. That’s how you get people to identify primarily on the basis of communal identity rather than common citizenship. The Labor-Greens activist alliance will now presumably run just this kind of dishonest, dangerous fear campaign among ethnic communities. The relentless ideological denigration of Western civilisation in the humanities departments of our universities betrays a loss of self-confidence
Random Note #231,652 — Robo calls on Labor’s extreme application of 18C
If robo calls are the future of election campaigns as Labor has demonstrated with their Mediscare and penalty rates projects, they have, with the revelation that they are secretly planning to extend the scope of 18C to cover all manner of misery, grievance and identity industries, as well as 18C style laws to be used against those defending traditional marriage, gifted the conservative forces with an absolute election Eldorado. The only difference being that although the Labor/Union/GetUp campaigns have been totally fictitious and designed to scare, a similar Liberals robo campaign will be base on actual Labor policy. The big question is whether the Liberals are smart enough to exploit the situation.
Random Note #176,882 — Labor’s extension of 18C to other Grievance, Misery and Whinge and Fringe Identity Industries
What is chillingly revealed in todays Australian, is that Shadow Attorney General Mark Dreyfus and Labor hold to values that are inimical and alien to any democracy and particularly Australia.
As a Jew whose own father came from Nazi Germany, Mark Dreyfus Labor’s Shadow Attorney General, should know better than to go down this road. Dreyfus owes Martin Niemoller an apology. “First they came for the ——-” (fill in the gap). Dreyfus is beginning to reveal himself to be no better than some of the very worst of the worst authoritarians that history has thrown up. He deserves to be called out on how he reconciles the fascist ideology of WW2 with what he and Labor is proposing in 2017.
What Thinking Australians Are Thinking (Part 2) — Nuclear Power
I would like to offer my gratitude to Jay Weatherill. Without regard to his political future and at great expense to the citizens of South Australia, he has shown the developed world what a calamity renewable energy is. If you want blackouts, unemployment and companies told to bring their own electricity, South Australia will show you how. Now, thanks to the Weatherill manual on climate change, other countries know exactly what not to do.
What Thinking Australians Are Thinking — Gay Marriage
We were told we couldn’t have a plebiscite because it would be divisive. Well, we now have division but no plebiscite.

Counter Offensive On The Western Front — Kevin Donnelly
As the West’s liberal democracies are undermined from within by academia’s cultural Marxism, they are also threatened by Islamic fundamentalism — twin perils that make the establishment of a foundation to champion Western civilisation not merely timely but absolutely vital.
Random Note #163,872 — Labor’s straw man question —
Labor’s tactic with respect to the revised 18c legislation is to ask the bogus, straw man question of “what kind of racial abuse do you seek to legalise?” Apart from being an example of a sledge hammer to crack a walnut, the grotesque and insidious flaw in section 18c is its objective scope, whereby ones man’s insult, offence or humiliation will trigger and invoke a mere shrug in another. So as to the slippery, mischievous, beat up question being advanced by Labor, “the kind of racial abuse one seeks to legalise” is in the realm of Alice in Wonderland and Humpty Dumpty and “could be anything I choose it to be.”
Funny how their disappointment is one-way. “Muslim women protest Australian visit of anti-Islam activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali” –SBS
They have no problem with and never express that same “disappointment” when it comes to all manner of vile Islamist radicals visiting Australia to promote their extreme toxic sludge ideas. Vile and abhorrent radicals like Hamza Tzortzis, who condones child rape and has said publicly that anyone who fights against Muslims should be beheaded
Random Note #145,321 —- Friendship Is Not The Same As Mateship.
The entire idea of a friend or at least the word friend, has been totally debased and diluted in recent years by the schmaltzy, saccharine and insincere American use of “friend” by Facebook to describe people you maybe connected with via technology but many of which you may barely know or in fact hold in contempt and have difficulty tolerating.
Europe — One Very Large Cauldron Of Boiling Frogs
Apart from the irregularities during the election campaign and at the voting booth, the arrival of these “foreign nationalist” parties shows that large parts of the European immigrant communities have different opinions on matters of state as compared to their non-immigrant neighbors. In Austria, the defense ministry discovered that Austrian soldiers have illegally retained their Turkish nationality after enlisting. How many of these soldiers of dubious loyalty are active members of the Army is unknown.
