Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsWhy Are We Cold On The Idea Of Nuclear Fission — Adam Creighton, The Australian
As of last year, 30 countries operated 450 nuclear reactors for electricity generation and 60 nuclear plants were under construction in 15 countries, according to the Nuclear Energy Institute. That includes 20 in China and the giant Hinkley nuclear station that’s been commissioned by the UK government. But the interminable slanging over coal and gas on the one hand, and solar and wind on the other, takes place with no mention of our vast uranium reserves.
Lunatic Alert — We should be happy that she’s not going to breed
Can I reconcile my care and concern for the future with such an active and deliberate pursuit of a child? Put simply, I can’t. Nowadays, the pitter-patter of tiny feet is inevitably the pitter-patter of giant carbon footprints
Random Note 213,652 — Renegade Libs
Do the dozen or so renegade Libs calling for Malcolm Turnbull to trash an election promise have any idea what they’re doing? Do they seriously put gay marriage ahead of the nations and their own political fortunes? With only a one seat majority if they were to be successful, several things would happen

PC rubbish an affront to Kokoda Veterans — Miranda Devine, Daily Telegraph
You'd expect this to be front page in the Tele and right across all media. You'd expect the Prime Minister to be all over the media this morning saying in effect that "..my instructions to the department will be that this is to be reversed with immediate effect.." No...
A Repost From August 2016 On Bill Leak
Random Note #195,631 — Bill Leak
Thinking more about Bill Leaks cartoon and the cartoons of others down through the years reminds me of various teachers of a bygone era who would grab students by the shoulders and momentarily shake them. The idea was to get their attention. To get them to wake up, focus and concentrate. The lazy left are the attention deficient disorder students at the back of the national classroom and similarly deserve a metaphorical shake up, slap about and wake up by way of a simple image to get them to concentrate and focus instead of mentally goofing off and gazing out the window imagining a dreamtime cultural nirvana with images of the noble savage dancing in their heads.
Random Note #178,531 — Comedy and Rules for Radicals
This brings me to Bill Leak and it seems to me that what’s becoming more and more apparent is that what the left, like Gillian Triggs and Tim Soutphomasane of The HRC and the behaviour exhibited by the panel and the audience on Q&A this week point to, and is driving them insane, is that Leak had the ability to turn Alinsky’s rule number 4 back on the left, which is not the way it’s meant to be.
New arrogance takes hold among Labor and its union cohorts — David Crowe, The Australian
I get the suspicion the references in the second last paragraph about the banking industry and “..forcing the big four to divest their funds management or financial advice arms..” more about tilling the soil and creating an environment for the unions to move in and become major players in the sector as they’ve done in the superannuation sector. They can’t survive with union membership of around 15% or less in the private sector so they have to diversify to fund the cause. What better way than too have your political wing gift you with unlimited access to the honey pot.
Sun Has Set On Greens Dreams — Graham Richardson, The Australian
The blind pursuit of ridiculous renewable energy targets is a Greens push adopted by Labor and now works against them both. Flim-flam won’t replace solid policy. The Greens led the South Australian Premier down the road to ruin and he acquiesced too quickly. The lights have gone out on South Australians several times now and the state Liberals, as pathetic as they appear to be, will no doubt turn the lights out on the Weatherill government at the next election.
