Random Notes - Idle Thoughts
Random Note — Shark Nets and Ideological Inconsistency
Reading about yesterday’s shark attack at Dee Why Beach and I’m thinking about how councils will dictate all manner of rules and regulations, guidelines and guardrails. Fencing and resus signage around a pool makes perfect sense. Even a verandah above 90 centimetres...
A Random Reboot — Climate (from a number of years ago)
It is recorded, geological and historical fact that there has always been changes to climate. But note how the default argument is to try and frame anyone who disagrees with the reasons, as a denier or a heretic of climate change as a general principle, when that is...
Random Note — Tantrums and TDS
When I re-read this Charles Krauthammer column from December 2003, from his book, Things That Matter, you realise that Trump Derangement Syndrome is not new and not a phenomenon reserved for Trump. It is for anyone right of centre who defeats the liberal left. The...
Random Thought — Jews, Palestinians and Bondi Beach. Are we paying attention yet Australia?
In a funny kind of way this invasion and civil unrest of such an iconic location is a good thing in so much that Australia’s heritage and culture is 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐨/𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧/𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 in that order. In addition, Bondi and the eastern suburbs is the central hub of the Jewish...
Random Note — The Quiet Revolution

Listening to Miranda Devine’s podcast interview with Doug Burgham, Trump’s Secretary of the Interior overnight and he has the most incredible story. While listening it occurred to me that with all its problems, Burgham's story highlights why the American system (with...
Israel: Something’s going on. Something to think about
Israel:-- Something's going on. Something to think about The best video you'll see all day Israel – There’s something about Israel that makes people uncomfortable and it’s not what they say it is. They’ll point to politics, settlements, borders and wars but scratch...
Random Note — Net Zero
The thing about the dumping of Net Zero is that I think it’s only being talked about by political insiders, the media, political junkies, climate zealots, believers and aficionados. It’s an in-house echo chamber. Does the average person even know or understand what it...
Random Note — 1964: The Truth About The Palestinians
I noticed on X earlier this week a Gaza/Palestinian demagogue propagandist going off and saying forcefully and with great certainty and conviction that even Christ was a Palestinian. This sorta, kinda overlooks the historical fact that Palestine as an area didn’t...
Random Note — The Truth
The one good thing to come out of the Brittany Higgins defamation case is that it totally demolished the fraudulent, postmodern idea of “my truth”. There’s is no such thing as “my truth”. There never has been. Only THE truth.Truth or Falsehood is totally binary. It either is or it isn’t. Everything else at best is just opinion or at worst a lie.
