Hyperbolic abuse from ACMA and the Age when they can’t fault my warming facts

Once again, someone allergic to the facts and to free speech calls in the censors - this time the Australian Communications and Media Authority - to shut me down.

ACMA describes how this farce began (and, note, this was before the recent spike in temperatures caused by the El Nino):

In April 2016, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA) commenced an investigation under section 170 of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 (the BSA) into...

Who let them in? Now a spruiker for Hamas, the terrorist group?

Who lets these people in? Who invites them?

Are we really talking about a tiny, unrepresentative minority?

Mark Durie:

A fundamentalist Islamic preacher who says Hamas “are not terrorists, they are freedom fighters” is planning to come to Australia after being refused a visa earlier this year.

Sheikh Zahir Mahmood is headlined as a speaker at the upcoming United Muslims Association (UMA) conference to be held in Sydney on Sunday 14th August.

“Mentally disturbed” may just be the latest code words. UPDATE: Belgian attack

London police at first dismissed the killer as merely mentally disturbed. But the 19 year old who went on a stabbing rampage in London, killing an American, has been linked to jihadism. 

And now two female police officers in Belgium are slashed by a man shouting “Allah is great” and wielding a machete.

Probably just mad.

UPDATE

Premier Daniel Andrews hyping of this arrest makes me a little sceptical:

A man aged 31 believed to be linked to the...

Morrison must shine because Turnbull won’t

Terry McCrann says Scott Morrison must be the Paul Keating of legend:

Keating claimed that he became the PM-in-effect for the last four years of the Hawke government, providing both the policy grunt and political leadership in the PM’s “absence”. It is an interpretation that is a matter of some considerable contention.

Whatever the truth of that, Morrison has to become that Keating, of fact or fiction: because someone has to, given both the aimlessness and...

Unrestrained Spectator Australia

So much great writing in the latest edition of Spectator Australia, out at news agencies now. (Or subscribe here.)

Rowan Dean also wonders what Malcolm Turnbull has done in 11 months:

It is now 11 months since Mr Turnbull promised an enraptured media class his famed economic leadership. Again, absent any serious philosophy, we have skidded all over the shop, with the one and only constant being robbing the elderly to pay for the outrageous profligacy of...

Gold medal for bigotry goes to the Lebanese team

Muslim hatred of Jews trumps the fabled Olympic spirit even in Rio:

Lebanese athletes refused to share a bus with the Israel team to get to Friday’s Rio Olympic Games opening ceremony, members of both teams said…

The incident happened as the Lebanon team sat on the bus waiting to head to the Maracana stadium, before demanding the Israeli athletes must not board.

Israel’s athletes insisted on doing so, but the two teams were eventually taken to the ceremony...

A stab in the heart of this country

Something has changed in Australia:

A 16-YEAR-OLD boy is in a critical condition in hospital and another teen and a man have serious injuries after seven people were stabbed at a party in Sydney’s north west overnight.

Police were called to a home in Ryde just after midnight following a fight among young partygoers that left six males and a female with stab wounds.

UPDATE

Another change, with the latest evidence documented by reader Ed:

Julie’s bold experiment: could we teach a donkey of the Left a thing or two?

My book is living large and wide, visiting Ho Chi Minh City, Santorini, London, Lake Como, Ithaca, Scotland, the Bay of Naples, Dubrovnik, Fiji, Aileron and the Andes. In between, it’s done some work in Kalgoorlie and the coal seam gas fields of Condabri, Queensland, before attending a christening in Newcastlle and then invading Australia’s most Left-wing Parliament.





Since the book is now crossing into Left-wing parts of the country, and even the...

Tips for Sunday, August 7

Pass on your news tips here. Apologies, but we have no moderators on weekends to publish comments.

Who let them in? And why is the ABC covering up?

Astonishing. Only the ABC could do a long report on the Apex gang and not once mention that many members are in fact African or born here to parents from Sudan and Somalia.

This is the closest the ABC comes to reporting the truth - that our refugee program has once again made Australians less safe:

STEPHEN LEANE, ASST. COMMISSIONER, VICTORIA POLICE: So they range from as young as 13 up to 17. Mostly they’re coming from first generation Australian homes.
