This is life the way I see it.
Riches or ruin, we need to build coal fired power stations now and win a by-election.
11/07/2018
Malcolm Turnbull will never sign off on anything that will allow a coal fired power station to be built he knows, if he stalls long enough, that Bill Shorten will be taking his place and there would be no chance he will ever build one so his goal will still be achieved. Both men show a superior arrogance about the infallibility of their own views and care little for the welfare of us ordinary Australians, or of the disaster they have foisted upon us. The only chance Australia now has of avoiding total catastrophe is if the few Nationals and liberals that do have some brains force the issue and the rest of their mates realise they are about to lose their jobs and join them, knowing this is the only thing that can and will save them. Australian power prices need to come down by at least half to be the cheapest in the world, as they should be with our resources, to restore our competative advantage.
In this set of circumstances it is almost certain Turnbull will act to bring down the government, likely by his resignation and the loss of the coalition’s majority, a win in one of the current by-elections is needed to put the party in a position to act. There are two possibilities in our future, we build the stations and save ourselves or we don’t and become the biggest western civilisation economic disaster area on the planet. It is not just the power prices and greater international competitiveness that we could gain, heavy engineering and construction jobs would do wonders for Australia and in some areas where jobs are desperately needed, imagine 2 billion dollars spent in South Australia to create jobs and at the same time relieve them from having the most expensive power in the world. Building a new station in each of South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland would super charge our economy and undo some of the damage that began in the eighties when Christine Milne and Bob Brown set about stopping the building of anything with a smoke stack, to this day Tasmania has not fully recovered from the damage done by Milne. I was one of many young people forced to leave the state to find work in the years after the Wesley Vale pulp mill was stopped, an event that forever ruined big manufacturing and mining business confidence and destroyed the possibility of anyone ever building anything in Tasmania ever again. If you want the chance to save Australia vote for the Liberals or Nationals in the by-elections and start working on your local member to convince them they need to act on building some coal fired power stations.Tony Abbott wants to pull out of the Paris agreement.

Finally, the only problem I have with this is why he did not say so years ago.
Turnbull, Frydenberg, Bishop and their stupid associates have pretty much destroyed the Liberal party and what was left of Australia’s economy, after Rudd and Gillard purposely set us on the path to economic disaster. Rather than halting the lunacy the opposite has occurred, spending has increased and the economy has only stayed afloat because of the massive increase in population, the loonies from the left are in charge everywhere and must think they are at the dawn of their much sought after Socialist Utopia.
Australia has the resources to be one of the wealthiest countries on the planet, nobody need be wanting for the essentials of life, but we are instead on some idiot path to self-destruction while the rest of the world continues to advance at our expense.The level of stupidity amongst our leaders is simply mind boggling, why would anyone willingly help destroy their own country based the proven and admitted lies of a group of people at the UN who made it clear their real intention was to destroy western economies using global warming rhetoric and then went out and created some data to back up their point. The facts are that there is no evidence that actually tells us anything useful or actionable about the climate, what actions are being taken will only alter economies, not the climate, and anyone questioning the so called ”settled science” is immediately publicly vilified by the true believers and may also lose their job, as professor Peter Ridd in Queensland has. The two western leaders who were a threat to the current push from the UN, Stephen Harper in Canada and Tony Abbott in Australia, were targeted and removed from office. In Canada the interference from outside sources in the 2015 election was worse that of Russia in the recent US election, a very scary US social justice group known as the Tides Foundation spent millions, doing what they state is their job, helping alter the outcome of the Canadian elections. A Canadian left wing green group, Leadnow, much like Getup in Australia, also worked, with considerable effect, on removing the conservatives in the same election. As we know Malcolm Turnbull has worked for over a decade on his vision for low emissions and has tried to implement this both as Prime minister and opposition leader and, as a consequence, worked just as hard the whole time to undermine and remove Tony Abbott so he could achieve this goal. It was predicted in 2014 by Lord Monkton that Malcolm Turnbull would try to remove Tony Abbott as PM before the December 2015 Paris UN climate change conference, Abbott was gone by September and sadly had aided in his own demise with some really poor decisions. In December Malcolm went to Paris and agreed to anything the UN had on offer, writing Australia's economic suicide note on the world stage. If we stick to this Paris agreement our economy will be ruined, it must be opposed until it is stopped and some coal fired power stations are built, Tony finally apears to have got himself together on this one.How far will the left go to get rid of Trump,
we will soon know.
11/06/2018
If there is one thing above all others the left cannot tolerate, or even comprehend, it is that they are wrong, highly ironic given the history of the world and the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Donald Trump being the president has been like the rise of the devil to the left and they have been squealing ever since about how the USA could have got it so wrong. It is almost impossible to turn on the TV now without hearing someone dismissing Trump as an aberration that should not have happened and how embarrassing the situation is, never a thought about what a crap job has been done by most before him, the state of the world today and the fact that those of us who are not members of the leftist cultural elite have had a gut full of the path to disaster we are on.
Trump had some luck to go with the clever game he played but it was not a hard task to make Hilary look like more of the same, which she so clearly is, enough of the voters know that more of the same is not going to work. The danger now is that Trump will get a result, which is the nature if the man, he will win by any means available and not worry too much about failing. The left are now starting to see Trump could win a second term, and worse still, show clearly the faults with their bleeding heart policies due to some good outcomes. Such a situation can only head in one direction; anything and everything will be done to bring about his downfall. We will certainly see an impeachment as soon as a good reason can be concocted, his business transactions will be examined with a microscope for illegalities, someone will say he had non-consensual sex with me years ago and I want him charged, false stories will be placed on the internet, every word will be analysed and twisted to make him look foolish and anything he achieves will be targeted for destruction. If all these things fail something will be made up based around half truths, lies and false news are the most dangerous weapons the left possess and they are sure to be deployed with even more vigour as time goes on. One can only hope that the Korean negotiations will not be purposely sabotaged by some fool reporting comments made by Donald Trump or some action that will make the other side back out due to fear or so Kim Jong-un does not lose face. I hope this president survives; he may be far from a perfect man but may turn out to be a perfect president for the times. Donald Trump is not beholden to those that will drive his agenda for their own ends and is clearly on a mission to do some good and fix stuff up, he may be our last chance before the left destroys the west and our way of life, the best way of life there has ever been. One thing you could place money on, the Donald will never get a Nobel peace prize, even if he actually brings about world peace.Assad a fool,
I do not think so.
18/04/2018
When an atrocious act is committed one must always look at who gained from it, along with the facts, for the most likely culprit. In the case of the recent gas attack in Syria what are the facts?
The only ones who will ever know for certain who did it are those involved.
Chemical weapons such as Sarin are not that hard to make, storage and delivery are the main difficulties, these are eliminated if they are manufactured on site.
It was recently made clear to Assad, by Donald Trump, what would happen if chemical weapons were used.
Assad is the clear looser from the event, Syria was bombed, world sentiment turned against them and the government was weakened.
Assad is clearly not a fool; he is a medical Dr and has managed to survive as leader for many years in a hostile environment with a large price on his head.
There is no gain or other clear reason for Assad to use chemical weapons.
Now ISIS is all but defeated America is more likely to turn back to looking at the removal of Assad and it is likely to be manipulated by others, in this way, to do it.
The rebels are the clears winners, America bombed their enemy and the government is one step closer to being removed.
Islamic state and other such groups as are in Syria know well they will never win a conflict outright, the goal is for their opponents to destroy themselves , which is what is effectively happening here, and the one hope they have to take power.
It would be a poor intelligence analyst who pointed at Syria and said "100 percent they did it" when there is no reason why they would, good ones why they would not and every reason why the opposition would. Who is the more likely culprit the one with nothing to win or the one with everything to gain and no known concern about killing their own for the good of the cause? I presume the west has good intelligence analysts that can see all the possibilities but there is a former analyst in Tasmania that makes me question that at times.
Whatever the case the question now has to be asked should the west, yet again, be removing the leader of another country? That has not worked out too well in the past and in this case, as per usual, the likely replacements would almost certainly be worse. Russia is also highly unlikely to watch this and do nothing, they much prefer Assad to the alternatives.
Our global
leaders are mostly fools
13/12/2017
Another conference on climate change in Paris and yet again we have wall to wall press with messages of doom, destruction and settled science, complete with a few shots of bushfires in California and some polar bears wandering around on the ice. Emanuel Marcon, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Yong Kim and Theresa May have all managed to get a few words out to the world to support the story, it is scary to see how many have swallowed the load of crap emanating from a proven corrupt and lying UN about global warming, it is clear the planet is in danger, that danger being from the idiots that are running it.
The fact is there is bugger all evidence of anything other than some small changes in the concentration of some gasses in the atmosphere, what effects this will have, if any, nobody has a clue, especially the UN. The UN is aware though that the proposed solutions will not work and will just destroy the economies of the west. Facts matter not at the UN though as this is not about climate, it is about the redistribution of wealth to poorer, mostly African, countries at the expense of the wealthy west.
There is little chance that much sense will ever come from the UN, for the same reason FIFA cannot manage soccer, every country gets a vote and there are a bucket load of African and other small poor countries that just want the money. If the UN were a worthwhile organisation it would concentrate on bringing peace and stability to the planet by stopping the flow of weapons, keeping the peace and reducing population. This would obviously require those corrupt, uncivilised and war torn countries to not have a vote at the UN or any say about peace keepers and an end to fighting. It would also require population control in Africa where the women have the highest birth rates on the planet with anywhere from 4.6 to 7.6 children each. There are children in the Congo right now dying appalling deaths due to war and money for aid being lost to corruption, this problem is real and could easily be fixed but no country will admit this or take the required action due to corruption and politics being the priority.
Kristina Keneally
19/11/2017
On September 14 2009 Premier Nathan Rees sacked Tony Kelly from cabinet on November 15 Ian Macdonald and Joe Trepodi were also sacked, by December 4 Kristina Keneally was sworn in as the new Premier replacing Nathan Rees and immediately returned Ian Macdonald to the cabinet. Nathan Rees had not intended to go the way Morris Iemma had, he realised it was either them or him; we all know now how that ended for Nathan Rees.
Keneally can profess ignorance of corruption all she likes it does not change the fact Obeid, Trepodi and Macdonald were instrumental in her selection and, after this, she reinstated Macdonald to a ministry role where he was able to benefit Obeid and Trepodi. Ignorance or complicity, it matters not which it was, Obeid, Trepodi and Macdonald as leading members in your cheer squad is a damming recommendation, if they think you should be in the job they must have reason to think you are on their team, Macdonald’s re-instatement would seem to indicate they were correct in that belief. I wonder what or who we can we expect her to sell out in the future to further her own agenda?
I see Bill Shorten giving out a reference on Kennelly’s integrity as I write this, probably not the best person to get that recommendation from either, but I guess he has not actually been changed with any crime so he is at least one up on Obeid and Trepodi.
Now that I think on it she would make a great partner for Bill Shorten, birds of a feather and all that, perhaps she could be the deputy leader?
OMG could it happen she is the one to put the knife in Shortens back in the end, if the betting agencies want to put that one up I think I may have a dollar or two on it.
What
global warming rhetoric and electricity prices rises are really all about,
eco-fascism
18/10/2017
Maurice Strong was a wealthy corrupt self-confessed
socialist, who made his money in oil and energy; he is the architect of the global
warming religion and turned the UN into an environmental organisation to
further his socialist and environmental agenda. Strong was a supporter of one
world government who once said “Isn’t
the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” Strong fled the west when
caught taking money from the UN oil for food program and finished his life in
China. He was supposedly given sanctuary in China because his Marxist cousin
had once lived with Mao Tse Tung. Strong’s agenda is
still the main driving force behind UN activities today.
As a member of the club of Rome Strong,
assisted by American politicians Al Gore and Tim Wirth, set about controlling the
agenda, data and makeup of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC), in order to convince the world human induced CO2 emissions were causing
global warming. The club of Rome believed humanity needed a common adversary to
bring about population reduction, destroy industrialised economies and
redistribute wealth, it did not matter if it was real or imagined, and global
warming was thus the new enemy. In 2007 an IPCC report concluded the current
cause of global warming was human activity by misrepresenting or simply
reversing the views of most of the authors. The IPCC has since been caught
lying about glaciers melting in the Himalayas and false temperature data that
shows the earth is warming when it has in fact been cooling since 2002, one third
of all measuring stations show sustained cooling for their entire history.
Leaked IPCC emails make it clear IPCC have been on a mission to distort the
truth, hide data, bring down anyone with an opposing view and also show the
IPCC know the evidence is rubbish and needs to be hidden from the public.
In Brussels during February 2015 the executive
secretary of the UN framework convention on climate change (UNFCCC) Christiana
Figueres stated “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting
ourselves the task of intentionally,
within a defined period of time, to change
the economic development model that has been reigning for at least, 150
years, since the industrial revolution,”. Figueres also praised Barak Obamas
efforts on climate change; Obamas Science adviser was Dr John Holdren who has
called for the US to de-develop and reduce population and predicted a billion
deaths from climate change caused famine by 1990. In the early seventies
Holdren actual predicted an Ice age before global warming occurred and
considered a global regime to control population may be required.
In October 2015 the UN made plans for an
international court of climate justice to enhance action on meeting a target of
a 2 degree drop in global temperatures. Industrialised countries would be
forced to pay money to the UN to use across the globe because of their climate
damage debit; the UN would effectively become a global government. The proposed
2 degree drop in temperature would require us to deindustrialise the world thus
killing millions, there would be no steel, concrete, fertilizer, plastic,
aircraft, planes, trains, ships or military equipment, plant life would begin
to die and we would be looking at a new Ice age.
Stephen Schneider was a Stanford professor of
climatology the lead author of many IPCC reports and a Whitehouse consultant
for Nixon, Carter, Regan, Bush 1 & 2, Clinton and Obama. In 2006 he was the
Adelaide thinker in residence advising the government on climate change and
renewable energy policies. In the 10 years since he left SA went from 0%
renewables to 31% and now have the most expensive and unreliable power on the
planet. Schneider is credited with the following statements “…we need to
get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination…. So we have
to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make
little mention of any doubts…. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being
honest.“
Nobel Physicist Dr Ivar Giaevier has noted
that global temperatures have actually been stable for 150 years and the
supposed consensus on the global warming science was only around 77 out of
10000 scientists. The reality is the mess we are in is intentional and about
things other than climate; the original plans of Strong are still alive and
well.
Barnaby and Pauline
15/10/2017
It has to be asked what is wrong with Barnaby Joyce and Pauline Hanson, both are in a position to force change on the renewable energy crap and bring power prices down for business and Australian households yet have failed to act? If these two really want to represent and advance the views of those that elected them and the best interests of Australia they have left it a bit late to act, the damage is done. Failure to force this, and the immigration issue, to the correct conclusion is extremely disappointing, it is at the core of what they purport to stand for and there is no excuse for sitting on the sidelines.
Change now and they will come
14/10/2017
The most dangerous left wing global warming lunatic in the country will soon replace the second most dangerous as Prime Minister of Australia, the coalition will have been wiped out in a landslide the likes of which have never been seen before and our economy will be finished, banana republic here we come.
The back benchers in the coalition have but one chance to save us, move aside permanently Turnbull, Bishop, Pine, Brandis and Co, reinstate Tony Abbott as prime minister, start an immediate federal government build on a couple of large modern coal fired power stations, tidy up some unresolved immigration issues and reform the party. Turnbull will never resign to help the party, he is too arrogant, he will no doubt try to destroy the government to stop this but at least a chance would exist for Australia, many voters will realise they may have a last shot to get the policies and integrity we need and an election may just be won. Tony Abbott has clearly learned from past mistakes and will hopefully continue to say it how it is from here on out; it must have been an impossible situation before, with many of his cabinet actively seeking the removal of him and long standing coalition conservative ideals from before they even took office.
It is all but impossible for the rank and file to make a change but it is crucial the left wing fools and greedy opportunists that have infiltrated and taken control of the coalition loose preselection and the likes of Malcom Turnbull are never again allowed to win preselection for a party with values they clearly do not hold.
It can only be hoped that enough of the coalition MP’s come to their senses and make some bold changes, if not for the cause of good then just out of pure self-interest. I am not holding my breath though, more likely Julie Bishop will carry the coalition to defeat if Turnbull goes and we will all have to look to Cory Bernardi and other break always.
The screams from the left if Tony comes back would be something to see, they were on a mission to get him before, and they would be apoplectic in the face of a re-incarnation, I would like to see that!
Fools of the highest order
14/10/2017
I see Kim Carr and Bill Shorten have promised a billion dollars to support manufacturing, in a bid to show they actually give a rat’s bottom about Jobs in Australia. Given their unwavering support and allegiance to the CFMU and climate policies designed to destroy our economy one would have to be a total moron to believe that. This is pure pretence and propaganda designed for the 50 plus percent of the population that clearly are too brainless to correctly grasp what is going on in front of their faces.
Tasmanian government stupidity
23/09/2017
The University of Tasmania site at Newnham in Launceston was perfect, plenty of space, huge modern buildings, plenty of parking and good accessibility. With absolute mind boggling stupidity $260 Million is being spent to move the location 4km to the centre of Launceston, an area with not enough room for the facilities required. This is a blatant waste of money and an empire building exercise that appears be of more benefit to the egos driving the project than the students, not that the university in Launceston has ever had a huge focus on the needs and welfare of students. Driving the economy and re-invigorating Launceston is the excuse given for this lavish expenditure, basically admitting to spending a heap of money for nothing, just like school halls and Kevin Rudd.
Spending millions of education dollars to sponsor a football stadium, to lift the profile of the university, fits in to the same level of stupidity and demonstrates an inability to see the role of a University as an education service, not a business bent on profit and consideration of the maintenance of state economic activity.
The government is clearly complicit in what is happening, when asked to explain all one gets from ministers is directed to the university, the government pretends is not responsible for where education dollars are spent, or the re-location of universities.
It does not bode well for Tasmania if this is the best the government can come up with to lift economic activity. To keep the lunatic left from power requires good management of the economy and social services; even then voters are stupid and may punt the government from office for no good reason. If Will Hodgman and Co want to survive a significant lift in intellectual effort is required, this is third rate stuff and just ahead of the rubbish emanating from Canberra.
A few thoughts on what the government should be doing are listed below.
Fix Bass Strait, the cost of shipping is killing the state and this stretch of water is one of the most expensive on the planet to cross. The state government has stuffed up management of competition among shippers and wharfs and extracts dividends from operations that add to cost, favour one region over another and do not improve service. The obvious answer is cut charges, increase competition, ensure costs are not added on the Victorian side and make waterside works wages are capped. It beggars belief that anyone can still argue that an unskilled, often unproductive, wharfie can earn six figures and that this does not increase costs or is not an insult to and theft from others.
The economy of Tasmania is all about agriculture, mining and some tourism, the latter of these will not support the state on its own, no matter what the Greens may say. If Tasmania is to prosper, and earn export income, costs for agriculture must be reduced and output increased, farmers are being taxed and regulated out of business by federal, state and local government. In addition the exorbitant wages of process workers, who have a bad habit of striking during harvest season, are closing whole areas of agriculture. Vegetable processing in Tasmania requires intervention and regulation, as do fuel and power prices, rates, licences and all other government induced costs that make local business uncompetitive with the rest of the world. This is so obviously the only way Tasmania will prosper, it is hard to see how a state Liberal government cannot understand it is do this or Tasmania will continue to be stuffed, one can only conclude they are a fairly brainless group with a history of failure and under achievement.
Are the Kiwi’s as dumb as Australians
were when they voted in Rudd?
18/09/2017
New Zealand has been going wonderfully the last few years, everything is heading in the correct direction in a way envied by most of the rest of the world, yet they still face the prospect of a change in government because the new Labour leader looks good on TV and makes lavish spending promises that appeal to the gullible, sound like anyone you know?
Jacinda Arden is the greatest threat to New Zealand’s prosperity that has been seen for many years. Labours plans to tax just about everything will decimate the economy, particularly the rural economy, as most of the taxes will hit farmers. Like Labour in Australia the New Zealand strain is pure left socialist in nature and chronically addicted to tax and spend, the most they can do now it to say some of the new taxes will not come in to effect until after the next election. At least this is good for Australian farmers, who currently struggle to compete with the lower wages paid in New Zealand processing facilities, we will see the scales tip back our way a little.
I cannot wait to see what happens.
The rabid left is leading us to
oblivion.
17/09/2017
The world has gone mad again; we are well on the road to socialist totalitarian rule, even in Australia. If you think that is not true and the left are not on a well-considered path then you were not paying attention to the last few years, or to history.
In a totalitarian regime, like the Nazis under Hitler, the Soviets under Stalin, the Italians under Mussolini and the much of the world under the Catholic inquisition the rulers controlled every institution and aspect of life including religion, free speech, the press, the economy, police and the military. Anyone who speaks out risks torture, confiscation of property, arrest, prosecution, re-education, exile and execution. Education systems are corrupted by indoctrination propaganda and the young educated to be believers in the new order. If this is not immediately reminding you of current events consider this.
Heresy is belief or opinion contrary to official doctrine and was, at one time, the ultimate sin often leading to execution; it still does if you are a Muslim renouncing Islam. In Australia we have our own Heresy laws and plenty of disciples worshiping at the altar, ready to renounce anyone who steps out of line. Section 18c of the racial discrimination act has been used to prosecute individuals for expressing honest opinions that do not fit the socialist left agenda and thus make many others reluctant to engage in the debate for fear of the price they may pay, some innocent university students in Queensland have already had their lives ruined. The human rights commission, the ABC and other left wing press have used 18c to control the social narrative to the point that anyone who speaks any heresy is immediately the subject of confected outrage, abuse, threats, violence and possible loss of livelihood.
Discrimination and the threat of prosecution is a tool used with liberal abandon by the left, for anyone who objects or follows a different path to their agenda and teachings. The ability of same sex couples to marry, which may probably did not object to, has now become something to fear due to the very real fact that one can be, and has already been in other countries, prosecuted for discrimination. I may be an atheist however adhering to one’s religious beliefs and refusing to actively encourage something that is against your religion should not be reason for prosecution, unless it allows actual physical harm to another human. We have the ludicrous situation, at the moment where the government cannot discriminate to deport rapists, murderers and other criminals because they are over ruled by the administrative appeals tribunal or the courts and the federal government will not even bother to fight a case in the Victorian Supreme court, considering it a waste of money to try. We can also not discriminate against obvious problems coming to Australia in the first place, such as anyone supporting Wahhabism, although we can apparently block anyone coming to Australia to criticise immunisation programs or drug companies.
Education systems in Australia are in a rapid race to the bottom of the global quality pile, students are being dumbed down and criteria eroded. The scariest issue is that potential teacher’s no longer even need a pass mark to qualify for the role. Teaching English, maths and science is no longer the main agenda, it is indoctrination with false history, false science and global warming ideology, so it follows that stupid teachers are an essential ingredient to that end. The zealots are preaching Gonski and vast expenditure, educational excellence being irrelevant, more money for the disciples and left control of the agenda being the main criteria.
Economic destruction is one of the tools used to create a totalitarian state, every possible means is used to bring the state to ruin, and blame the other side for it, who can forget pink batts, Gonski mark 1, school halls, stimulus cheques in the mail, faulty obsolete laptops for every student and locked in massive spending increases by government for many years to come when Labour last left office? This creates and excuse for takeover, as the population are often stupid and believe the promises of more money and services from the very people who have destroyed what creates the wealth that provides them. Yet again dumb teachers and students are essential ingredients to success. This is one of the same scenarios practiced by Islamic terrorists, destroy society and the economy, create fear by acts of absolute horror and then come along offering a safe and secure environment, as long as you accept their brand of Islam. The left have and continue to destroy the Australian economy with outrageous spending to bribe and fool the voters and on the renewable energy target (RET), anyone who objects is instantly derided as a non-believer in global warming ideology or is not supporting education for our kids or welfare for the less well off. The RET, as it is now, is the economic suicide of Australia, supported only by the left and the stupid, who want to double it even while we are already on the ground in a pool of blood with oblivion in sight. Billions are being exported, businesses bankrupted, thousands of jobs exported and all for what, no discernible benefit. To add to this no thought is given to the fact that Australia causes a nett lowering to CO2 levels; we do not cause an increase.
Institutions are now mostly in the control of the left, schools, courts, government instrumentalities, the press, the Liberal party, the Greens, the Labour party, the CFMEU and even the Military. Some may think the military is the odd one out here so for those who do remember these facts. We do not need that many submarines nor will they ever find that many crews, so to what purpose do we spend the billions we do not have? The defence force Imam, you have to be kidding me why would we have one? It is more appropriate to counsel the soldier who points out to superiors that a fellow soldier, who practices Islam, may be becoming radicalised. Apparently the soldier’s beliefs should be accommodated and understood, so as not to discriminate and to have an inclusive defence force.
Yes, Bill Shorten and the labour party (AKA the political arm of the CFMEU) scare the hell out of me, but so does Malcom Turnbull and some of his mates, it would be a good thing for the betting agencies to pick up, which of these will do the most damage to the country?
Wahhabism & Islam - the
management of savagery.
17/07/2017
Since the time of Muhammed, the last law bearing Prophet, almost 1400 years ago Muslims have been fighting and killing each other over which brand of Islam is best, who should be in charge and in possession of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. In 1744 the founder of the extreme Sunni Hanbali fundamentalist Islam known as Wahhabism, whose followers are known as Muwahiddun or Mujahidin, joined with the house of Saud, a deal was done to provide religious legitimacy in return for protection and propagation of Wahhabism. Since then the pairing has been defeated a couple of times but made a comeback after the Ottomans were defeated during World War 1 that has resulted in the Saudi Arabia of today. The Saudi king used Islamic Ikhwan (Brothers) militia and Wahhabism to control the population, when the king adopted technology, corrupt western views and abandoned Jihad the Ikhwan revolted and in 1930 were cleaned out by machine gun, with the remaining loyal ones heading in to the National Guard. The Saudis have since spent billions around the world trying to replace mainstream Sunni Islam with Wahhabism.
Neo-Wahhabism is the extreme version whose followers think non-believers (Infidels) in Wahhabism should be killed, their wives and daughters violated, their possessions confiscated, lands occupied and Islamic states created. They do not like technology, should not bow before any man or worship people or idols, so they do not stand in court and destroy historical sites etc. Neo Wahhabism dictates that followers must actively pursue its goals above.
Neo Wahhabism is the ideology behind ISIS, Osama Bin Laden and the worst terrorist groups on the planet.
The Saudi King and the Neo Wahhabis both claim to represent pure Islam and are sworn enemies; the initial primary targets of the Neo Wahhabis are control of Mecca and Medina and the overthrow of the King in Saudi Arabia.
Sadia Arabia itself is split between Wahhabis and Neo Wahhabis, even within the royal family, who are not above moving on a king to take his place if he is not of the correct view. The struggle for who wins between Neo Wahhabis and the Saudis is critical to the future of mankind.
Islamic terrorists, generally speaking, are Neo Wahhabis or Wahhabis on the way to becoming Neo Wahhabis; they are spread around the globe as various groups and are behind most terrorism. They are funded by oil money from those within Saudi Arabia, despite the Saudi government being involved with the fight to defeat ISIS.
The goals of the Neo Wahhabis are likely to be reached by a long term campaign of constant extremely violent attacks (Savagery) to scare the population, wear down opposition in Muslim countries with limited capacity to respond, and to generate a reaction from super powers in order to drive recruitment. The belief is that long term even super powers are not able to defeat committed Jihadists. When a country is overrun Sharia law is introduced, order and security are restored, in a bid to gain support from the population due to improvement in the previously unliveable situation. Fear is also instilled by a corrupt and extreme interpretation of sharia law that is not open to question.
The Neo Wahhabis are basically lunatic religious zealots on a mission to conquer the world, which started nearly 1400 years ago; they will only stop when they are dead.
So ask yourself, are these certain terrorists banned from coming to our country, are we trying to wipe them out, as they are us, are our oil dollars supporting them, what is the government doing given they already know all this. Can you guess why nobody is telling the Saudis to stop spreading Wahhabism or banning it in their countries?
Something smells in NSW
12/07/2017
It is the Shenhua coal mine on the Liverpool plains. Why would the government spend $262 million to pay off a Chinese government owned company to cancel part of a mining licence when the license is already expired? This is too stupid for words and can only indicate corruption is involved. The fact that a mining licence was ever granted for this area to begin with always had a bad smell about it but when it was renewed again, by the other side of politics that was really alarming.
One can only imagine the belly laughs and discussions about Australia back in China, no matter what the topic. It is a choice of getting something for free, buying something that should not be for sale or how much do we need to spend on bribes, it will never about not being able to obtain whatever it is.
If the government is concerned about upsetting the Chinese they are on the wrong track, the Chinese have no respect, are laughing at us and must be wondering when we will wake up to ourselves.
The lights are off and the jobs are
gone in South Australia, that’s what happens when you have no power.

In SA the government, led by a left wing union lawyer, have managed to create the most expensive power on the planet. There have been blackouts to go with the high cost and now money is being spent on 200 Megawatts of diesel generators and a big battery, because coal fired power was shut down. The demand for power in SA is just under 3000 Megawatts, the battery provides 100 Megawatts and is estimated to cost somewhere between 30 and 70 million, no one wants to admit to the actual price or how many minutes of power the battery can supply but it may be that not all ten fingers will be needed to add this up
The effects of this ingenious effort led by the Wetherill, and previous Labour state governments, are as some commentators have suggested economic suicide. What is happening in South Australia is a more progressed microcosm for all of Australia; we are already ranked 15th in the world (December 2016) for government debt to GDP, Mexico is at 13 and not far ahead and we are climbing at 4.25 times the rate of Greece, In early 2017 there has been a massive rise in the ratio. Total government debt for Australia is currently 728 billion dollars; private sector debt is 2.7 trillion
Australia has only one advantage that we can use to compete against cheap wages and subsidies, access to abundant coal and gas that can create jobs and prosperity. With utter stupidity governments in Australia are shutting down coal and gas and, even worse, selling it to China and others cheaper than here. Businesses and workers in Australia are expected to compete against this.
Mark Scott Ignores resourcing issue
for special needs kids
08/07/2017
Finally, after years of wanting to see him punted from the ABC and then utter disbelief when he was appointed as secretary of the NSW Department of Education by Mike Baird, I am going to agree with Mark Scott? In my naivety I believed we were about to hear the true state of affairs in NSW public schools regarding resources for autistic and other special needs children, from someone in a position to do something about it. I guess I lost touch with reality there for a minute.
When Interviewed by Ben Fordham on 2GB yesterday, far from telling it like it is, Mark Scott treated us to an “it’s all good we are on to it, nothing to see here” moment. The quantum lack of training, funding, resources and desperate situation parents are in was all but ignored.
Well done Mark Scott, you have lived up to your previous efforts at the ABC and I will now sleep more peacefully, knowing you are in charge.
Turnbull has almost achieved his
goals
07/07/2017
The situation within the Liberal party is long past crisis point, and perhaps past fixing. Taken over by the left, rife with spineless second rate thinkers, undemocratic branches and with members deserting in droves is there any hope? The level of change required for purging the lefties, the incompetent’s and those working towards their own interests is no small thing and, I suspect, unachievable. To have any chance branches and preselection would have to change now, well before the next election, and new representatives would need to be chosen, even over those currently holding a seat.
As this is highly unlikely to occur the Coalition will be decimated at the next election, whenever that may be, not even their own members want to vote for them, votes are likely to go to One Nation, The Australian Conservatives and anyone else that shows some honesty and integrity. The only real questions to ask are who will be leading the Liberals at the next election, when will the change occur and who will desert to another party?
The really sad part of this story is that none of it matters; we have reached the point where more people have their hand out than there are those remaining to fill it. Those with hands out will vote for whoever puts in that hand the most cash, thus populating Canberra and state capitals with the likes of Bill Shorten and the loony tune greens, making it impossible to properly run the country.
The minute Turnbull was made leader of the Liberals the second time it was all over, no point now punting Turnbull, Bishop, Pyne, Brandis an others, whatever action is taken the left end up in charge, if this were a real war Turnbull and Co would sit squarely in the class of spies and traitors, although it looks like they are on the winning side so they will be the heroes, instead of receiving the other reward for spies and traitors they so richly deserve.
The Coalition has failed to grasp that they are in a war with the left that, if not won, will leave Australia bankrupt and destitute. The left has inserted itself in to every nook and cranny of government, public life and even the leadership of the Liberal party; it is merciless in its attempts to turn Australia in to a green left big government Utopia and will prosecute, persecute, vilify and undermine anyone in the way.
The coalition, instead of fighting back, is aiding in its own demise. The ABC should have been cleaned out, the human rights commission abolished, bureaucracy and universities moved to the right and immigration mostly halted but nothing has been done, even worse Gillian Triggs and Mark Scott’s replacements are just as bad, or worse, than they were.
This state of affairs has not come about by accident, it would appear that Malcom Turnbull and his fellow conspirators have been on a calculated mission over many years, they have succeeded and we are all but lost. We can only hope for enough seats in the senate to limit the damage Labour will do this time, more likely though there will be no way back if labour gets another shot.
