Kind of maybe nearly the warmest. Or not

Four years ago an Australian study by warmist scientists, including Melbourne University’s Joelle Gergis, created breathless headlines:

The Guardian: “Australasia has hottest 60 years in a millennium, scientists find”;

The Age and The Australian led with “Warming since 1950 ‘unprecedented’.

The story was on ABC 24 and ABC news where Gergis proclaimed:” there are no other warm periods in the last 1000 years that match the warming experienced in...

A judge of race

Should we really be judged as cultural types - and, moreover, with all the fallible assumptions popular among the cultural elite?

CONVICTIONS were not recorded against a young teen, who violently robbed a woman and seriously assaulted an older man…

The Cairns District Court was told the defendant, then 15, and a co-accused had planned to rob someone.

Judge Dean Morzone, QC, said a 23-year-old woman walking next to the Earlville shopping centre on...

Trump vs institutions captured by Leftists like Ginsberg. UPDATE: How to destroy the Left

Even the New York Times, that Bible of the Left, is shocked that a Supreme Court judge should let her bias hang out where everyone can now see it:

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg needs to drop the political punditry and the name-calling.

Three times in the past week, Justice Ginsburg has publicly discussed her view of the presidential race, in the sharpest terms. In an interview with The Times published Sunday, Justice Ginsburg said, “I can’t imagine what the...

Column - Conservatives are the real winners of this election

Conservatives are the true winners of the 2016 election, and I could not be happier.

True, Malcolm Turnbull is still Prime Minister for now, but consider how much conservatives have clawed back.

- TURNBULL’S authority has been shredded. He cannot now claim a mandate to drag the Liberals further Left and has little power now to do so.

(Read the full list here.)

UPDATE

Catherine McGregor:

What is...

Who let him in? Who paid him?

Who let him in? Who then decided to subsidise him with your money?

A DISABILITY support pensioner who has two wives has been found guilty of recruiting and assisting seven wannabe jihadists to go to Syria to fight.

Hamdi Alqudsi, 41, of Palestinian-origin, stood expressionless while a jury foreman announced “guilty” to the first six counts of recruiting people to fight in Syria.

The last three terrorist attacks in Australia - the Lindt Cafe siege,...

Wrong on both fronts

Psychologist Laura McNally:

So how is it that offences of the Catholic Church are to be directly attributed to Catholicism, while Islamic extremism and terrorism are strictly defined as un-Islamic?

Andrews: Bring back Abbott

Kevin Andrews would not answer when I asked if Malcolm Turnbull had that grace in him:

FORMER defence minister Kevin Andrews has called on Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to do the “magnanimous thing” and return Tony Abbott to the frontbench.

Mr Andrews said the party leadership and the frontbench should be a balance of liberals and conservatives and it would make sense to reappoint Mr Abbott.

“It would make sense to me to reappoint Mr Abbott. I mean,...

Column - China grabs, Australia dithers

OH DEAR. There’s now a risk of war with China over its illegal grab for territory to our north, and here we are with our pants down.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will have to beg China to give us a few decades to prepare for this showdown over the South China Sea.

Beijing has already deployed warships there, to tighten its grip, even though the Permanent Court of Arbitration this week ruled its claim over the vast area was illegal.


Prime Minister...

Will Turnbull feed Textor to the troops?

Surely a joke. I have it now from several good sources that Malcolm Turnbull, having already blamed Tony Abbott for the election humiliation, will present to his resentful post-election party room meeting on Monday polling boss Mark Textor and campaign director Tony Nutt.

It would be so obvious. Two more scapegoats offered for sacrifice. Deflect, deflect, deflect.

I wonder how many MPs will fall for it. Bet Textor’s theme will be Abbott would have done...
