Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsRandom Note #198,832 — Bill Leak And 18C
If Bill Leak feels remotely inclined to respond to the Human Rights Commission star chamber and inquisition (he’s been given 2 weeks to demonstrate how and why his laser accurate cartoon is not racist) he could do worse than copy and paste this response I drafted a few moments ago.

What Thinking Australians Are Thinking Gillian Triggs has given Bill Leak a fortnight to produce evidence to show why his cartoon is not racist. I’d be more interested in hearing evidence from complainant Melissa Dinnison and Triggs showing why they think it is...
Some Climate Commonsense
One for the climate catastrophists in a letter today from someone who actually knows what he’s talking about. William Kininmonth headed up Australia’s National Climate Centre at the Bureau of Meteorology from 1986 to 1998, He was Australia’s delegate to the WMO Commission for Climatology, was a member of Australia’s delegations to the Second World Climate Conference (1990) and the subsequent intergovernmental negotiations for the Framework Convention on Climate Change (1991–1992).
Random Note #197,673 — Bob Day’s dilemma
So because Bob Days senate office is in a building he owned but then sold so it was at least at arms length he’s regarded as profiting under the crown and therefore ineligible to sit in the senate. This being the case, can we extend the witch hunt to the other dozens of politicians who use their living away from home allowance of $270 per night to pay down the mortgage on their Canberra digs they purchased in their wives names. For example, Joe Hockey’s total living away allowance of $184,000 total between 1998 and 2015, springs to mind. It would seem to the casual observer that they too are profiting under the crown with a nice little earner as a super top up in their post political careers. Pots and kettles anyone?

Open borders inevitably stoke xenophobia — Jennifer Oriel The Australian. She doesn’t miss.
Recent evidence supports Fonte’s analysis of emergent supranational rule. Documents published by WikiLeaks and DCLeaks have exposed the influence of unelected elites, NGO networks and so-called human rights activists on Western politics. In particular, the leaked files illustrate a pattern of supranationalists funding Western political parties and civil society organisations that back open-border policy, complemented by the organised mobbing of freethinkers who dissent from the Left party line.
