Retail Fuel Strike? Yeah, Nah..
I have seen a few posts on Facebook over the last week suggesting a two day fuel strike. The idea seems to be that if people don’t buy fuel for two days, the oil companies will learn their lesson, and reduce the price of petrol. This isn’t quite the dumbest idea ever. That was voting …
Independents Betray their Electors
Our Federal member (for Mayo) has been in Wentworth over the last week campaigning for Kerryn Phelps, safe-schools supporter and promoter of the early sexualisation of children. Now it is looking likely Dr Phelps will be returned, Ms Sharkie has formed an alliance with her and Cathy McGowan, and despite having promised not to support …
Fossil Fuels and Subsidies in Australia
From the end of last year but still relevant. Anyone who claims that coal mining or other resource production is subsidised in Australia is trying to sell you something.. It isn’t. Claims it is are deliberately misleading. There are no subsidies, just the same tax reductions for business costs that apply to all …
On the Christian Duty to Warn of Sin and Its Consequences
Do Christians have a duty to warn others of sins and their consequences? Ezekiel 33:8.9 When I tell wicked people they will die because of their sins, you must warn them to turn from their sinful ways. If you refuse to warn them, you will be held accountable for their death. If you do warn …
Last Word on the Mayo By-election
If you are voting in the by-elections tomorrow, who should you vote for? The key question is: “What do you want Australia to be?” When you have a clear image in your mind of what you hope our future will be, you need to compare the candidates and ask which of them has the education, …
Mayo by-election …
I note with concern the report in today’s Islander in which candidates in the current Mayo by-election are asked “What will you do for us..?” as if this should be the key factor in deciding who to vote for. I cannot fathom why anyone with any understanding of our Federal parliamentary system would think this …
A Bridge to Kangaroo Island
A bridge to Kangaroo Island.. It would be an amazing project, and an amazing feat of engineering. It could certainly be done. 7 News | KI Bridge A multi-billion dollar proposal to build a bridge to Kangaroo Island has been met with anger from residents.

Georgina Downer and the Mayo By-Election
The current by-election in Mayo has been made necesary because Rebekha Sharkie was not entitled to stand or be elected because she was a citizen of another country at the time of her election. That is not just my opinion! That is what the Court found, and that is why another expensive election is necessary. …

Just in case you are not up to date with the finer nuances of Ayurvedic medicine.
The Unspeakable Terror of Plastic Shopping Bags
Good to know Coles and Woolies are on the same page as murderous terrorists Al Shabab … The difference is that because almost none of Australia’s plastic ends up in waterways, whereas a high percentage of Africa’s does, Al Shabab’s ban may actually achieve something.
Palestinian “Refugees” and the Right of Return
How does anyone have a “right of return” to a place they have never lived, and which their great-grandparents left in order to help destroy?
Non-whiny Students Leave the Plantation
Some Hispanic students express the view that their failings are their own fault, and that the way forward is to accept responsibility and work harder. Naturally, academia is appalled. Can’t you see there’s no point in trying? You’re oppressed! It’s all whitey’s fault! Thankfully more and more young people are rejecting the elite/liberal/luvvie/progressive philosophy that …
Who Are the Fascists?
Wikipedia is not always the most reliable of sources, but its definition of fascism is a reasonable starting point for discussion. A fascist is a follower of a political philosophy characterized by authoritarian views, desire for a strong central government, and no tolerance for opposing opinions. All forms of socialism, including Germany’s national socialism, are …
Gays, Bakers and Sarah Huckabee Sanders
I am astonished by claims of moral equivalence between a baker declining to make a cake with images and text contrary to his beliefs, and the refusal of service to White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders on the basis of who she works for. The bakers did not refuse service because the customers were gay …
More Anti-Energy Silliness
There is no reasons why activists should not be allowed to have their say, as long as policy is based on facts rather than ideology. A saw a video recently purporting to be of a Norwegian fisherman lamenting the negative impact of the oil industry, and particularly of acoustic imaging, on Norwegian fisheries. OK. Except …
