Some killer pars from Nick Kater’s column in today’s Oz — Christian Porter’s aim is to empower through dignity of work
“..To put it in a language the Left may understand, the science is in on this one. Welfare is the new tobacco; it can have short-term therapeutic benefits (much underestimated, incidentally, in the case of cigarettes) but its long-term effects are pernicious. It eats away at self-esteem, damages physical and spiritual health, and becomes an addiction that some find impossible to kick. Welfare’s secondary effects damage the educational prospects of children and boosts the likelihood that they will become recipients themselves..”
The Road to tyranny is paved with Leftie assumptions — Maurice Newman, The Australian
“…Gradually, the masses are realising something is wrong. Their wealth and income growth is stagnating and their living standards are threatened. They see their taxes wasted on expensive, ill-conceived social programs. They live with migrants who refuse to integrate.

Conversely, the emphasis among Middle Eastern Muslims was on accessing welfare payments and government grants. The extraordinary level of welfare dependency in such places as Lakemba, Punchbowl and Merrylands is further evidence of this phenomenon..”
The Next Big Environmental Scare — Powerlines blog
Are you ready for this? The next big scare from the climate catastrophists…
“…It’s been a parlour game for a while to decide what apocalyptic scare environmental doom mongers would come up with once climate change settles down into a normal problem..”
Is Hillary Clinton Losing the 2016 Election — American Thinker
The depth of public outrage has been the consistent misunderstanding of all pundits trying to explain the current election. Why is the public so mad? Why do people seem to love Trump so much? Those charged with telling us the truth – journalists, the federal government, politicians, academia, Hollywood, and the Church – do not.

Random Note #185,942 — Labor And The Greens Are Just Not Plugged In To This Democracy Thing And They’ll Pay At The Ballot Box

Is the music about to stop? — UN fears third leg of the global financial crisis – with prospect of epic debt defaults — The Telegraph
