Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsClimate change zealots need to get real — Peta Credlin, Sunday Telegraph
Sooner or later even the village idiots who support this hoax are going squeal under the pressure and squeeze of energy costs. The reality of the hip pocket nerve will eventually trump the woolly minded feel good, pointless, moral narcissism and gesture politics of renewable energy.
With his being rolled in 2009 and again courting disaster with Finkel in 2017, Marx could well have been talking about Malcolm Turnbull with his Icarus like attempts at flying to close to the sun of climate change politics when Marx observed that “History repeats first as tragedy and then as farce”
Random Note #178,561 — The ALP — Democracy is a train to your destination
The Australian Labor Party is no longer recognisable as a party of the worker. The President of Turkey, Erdogan, once described democracy as a train you ride until it reaches your destination.
This is exactly what’s happened to Labor and to some extent the Liberals.
The Green Left and the agents of social, cultural and economic change have ridden the Labor train to their destination.
Random Note #175,492 — Media Is The Message — Quadrant (a play on Marshal McLuhan no doubt)
For many years I’ve been amazed how lefties and apologists in the West latch on to and are comforted by the assurances given by smooth, suited, media talking heads and scribes that in the Koran it’s says that the killing of innocents is not condoned. Phew, that’s a relief. There it is. (or isn’t). There’s the evidence. Islam is a religion of piece after all, just like we’ve been assured all these years.
What Thinking Australians Are Thinking — Turnbull as a stand up
Stand up comedy is just not Turnbull’s forte. He’s so wooden, he makes John Major look like Jerry Seinfeld.
As Clint Eastwood observed in one of the Dirty Harry movies, and he could have been talking about Malcolm Turnbull. “A man’s got to know his limitations”
Even if it was scripted and rehearsed which I’m sure it was, the idea is to present it so that it doesn’t sound like it. He couldn’t pull it off because it was out of character.
Domestic violence study women’s right an issue for group of male refugees — Daily Telgraph
There’s only one way to look at this. Either its true or tax payer funded studies by groups like the Australian Research Council and conducted by the University of NSW Centre for Refugee Research aren’t worth a cracker.
“..Australians should show “cultural sensitivity’’ to migrant men who resent women’s rights and bash their wives and children, a taxpayer-funded study says. Many refugees see some human rights, in particular those relating to women and children’s rights, as detrimental to their successful settlement in Australia..”
ABC footage misled audience on airport story — The Australian
Today’s “true” fake news from the national broadcaster by their own admission. Otherwise known as misleading and deceptive conduct — “…The ABC has conceded it had altered documents of the nation’s largest aviation services company, Aerocare, for “illustrative” purposes and twice breached its editorial standards in an investigative report into the firm’ workplace and safety practices, which are now at the centre of a vicious industrial campaign by the Transport Workers Union. While defending its flagship current affairs program 7.30, the ABC has admitted its internal investigation confirmed a number of breaches of its editorial standards for accuracy, during a report into Aerocare on March 20.
HRC Frontrunner Triggs Lite — The Australian
Just What The Nation Needs. Not. “…The IPA is critical of Professor Croucher for not suggesting the words “offend” and “insult” be removed from the law entirely. Under section 18C, it is illegal to “offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate” a person on the basis of race. “Rosalind Croucher would be a Triggs-lite appointment. Appointing a person with no apparent commitment to freedom of speech would undo the government’s good work in attempting to expand our liberal democratic rights by reforming section 18C,” Mr Breheny said.
Random Note #195,431 — The ABC: To sell or not to sell
I used to think that the only way to solve the problem of the massive ABC bias was to sell it off and expose it to market forces but in a 3am, cold sweat, what if, careful what you wish for moment, where the cure is worse than the disease, I’m now thinking perhaps not.
Labor Donor Arrested In Macau — The Australian
Friday, June 16. A day just like any other. Another day, another donation scandal. Wheels within wheels — Just trying to keep up with this stuff is wearing me down. Note the same players on 4 Corners were guests at the wedding. “….It is understood Mr Tian came into contact with the NSW ALP through close associate Michael Yang, a former staffer to Victorian Labor Premier Daniel Andrews who continues to advise that state’s government on a multicultural board. Mr Yang is a Labor affiliate in Melbourne’s Chinese community. He has close links to NSW Labor senator Sam Dastyari and also to Huang Xiangmo, a property developer, big ALP donor and head of a pro-China Communist Party lobby group called the Australia Council for the Promotion of the Peaceful Reunification of China. Mr Yang is a vice-president of Mr Huang’s organisation….”
Camille Paglia: On Trump, Democrats, Transgenderism, and Islamist Terror — The Weekly Standard
Even Camille Paglia, American academic, social critic and a doyen of the left as well as a rusted on registered Democrat sees the national mainstream media in the US, as corrupt and Hillary as “a disastrously wrong candidate” Some other choice quotes —- “the party spun out of control in a nationwide orgy of rage and spite.” —- “How do Democrats imagine they can ever expand their electoral support if they go on and on in this self-destructive way, impugning half the nation as vile racists and homophobes?”
