Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsRandom Note — The LGBTIQ of Labor politics as they try and out green The Greens.
A Commissioner for Sexual Orientation!!! Gee I bet the Libs didn’t see that coming and are going all out ‘why didn’t we think of that’ face palm. Even the work experience kid at Liberal HQ could put together a killer ad on this crap and aim it squarely at middle Australia
Random Note — Education — Reports, Reviews, Overhauls and Blueprints. We’ve seen this movie before
The inter-generational March Through the Institutions and ideological guerrilla war undermining education has been raging for 40 or 50 years and is all but over with perhaps a few pockets of resistance. Check this list below of overhauls, reviews and blueprints over the last 20 years and think about all the money thrown at the problem, think about the jargon, the cliches and ministerial and talking head blather and tell me what’s changed other than that Australia has gone even further backwards.
Even the work experience kid at Liberal Party HQ could make a brilliant (and cheap) election ad out of this
This is confirmation that Labor has gone rogue. Gone right off the reservation and is no longer either the Labor Party or The Labour Party. “..Mentions of “intersex” occur 63 times, ahead of those more esoteric concerns such as “wealth” (61 times) and “inequality” (47). Whatever intersex means — or is — it’s also far more important than “ownership” (12 mentions), “production” (18) and “distribution” (10). That “bisexual” out-mentions “poverty”, 31 to 23, says it all… The light on the hill is now more like a strobe disco ball in a gay nightclub..”
The Long March Continues — Revisionists see an Australia alien to so many of us, Nick Cater
The disfiguring of Captain James Cook’s statue with painted slogans in Sydney last year was not, after all, a criminal act of historical illiteracy, or so we’re being asked to believe. It was a gesture of resistance intended to re-balance the memorial landscape by challenging the cultural power of white Australia, according to historian Lisa Murray. The real vandals were the cleaners who removed it. “Should the graffiti have been removed?” asked Murray. “Is challenging the dominant historical narrative a legitimate part of the monument’s heritage? I ask again; should the graffiti have been removed?”
Random Note, Idle thought — Government
For those not very good at joining dots or threading needles that is why we get the anti social behaviour on the streets that we do today.There’s no censure, opprobrium or deterrent
Random Note — Labor’s two faces of Janus on border protection.
Labor is wearing it’s best two faces of Janus, with the don’t frighten the horses, ‘more humane’ incantation. It is slippery, duplicitous and deceptive and if it fools you a second time, shame on you.
The Double Standards of the Mueller Investigation — Victor Davis Hanson, National Review
‘No one thought Hillary Clinton would blow the election. Top Obama officials at the FBI, DOJ, intelligence agencies, and National Security Council believed in 2015 and 2016 that they could ignore laws with impunity because a protective Clinton administration would soon be in power.
Politics have infected these investigations.
Corporate Virtue Won’t Save The Banks Now — Miranda Devine, Daily Telegraph
They authorised human resources departments to run rampant on “diversity and inclusion”, rather than on fostering prudence and integrity in organisations entrusted with other people’s money. While CEOs were posing as moral arbiters, writing open letters demanding the government legislate same-sex marriage, their companies were ripping people off. Corporate virtue-signalling is what they do best. But the problem is that it’s inherently fraudulent. No one believes in it. It doesn’t make the world a better place. It’s a waste of resources. It empowers busybody radicals, and ultimately it diverts the organisation from doing a good and honourable job of its core business.
Random Note — The 2018 Yassmin Award
And this years Yassmin award goes to another failed “comedian”, that’s having a problem with relevance deprivation. What a vile, mean spirited and ugly piece of work is Catherine Deveney. What is it about these “comedians” and “writers” seeking the 15 minutes of fame? What is it about the left generally and their dribbling, unhinged mental implosions, hatred and borderline personality disorders.
Random Note — Electricity Prices
What Labor and the Greens are proposing is a 20th century supply for a 21st century demand. In an auction on lower emissions, it’s a race to the bottom, a race the Liberals simply cannot win on those terms and to carve out a point of policy differentiation, a USP, (unique selling proposition) they have no choice but to be the party of significantly lower electricity prices.
