Who would have thought
Little Aussie buggerer battler launches his own book prize for paper-thin books devoted to Queering the Kids.
Should be a good short-cut for a ban list against working with children in my opinion. The local library has a transparent decal on the glass sliding doors, all lit up with the colours of the rainbow and promising that “this is a safe space for people of all colours, beliefs, bodies and genders” or somesuch… which is a clue that immediately inside the door is a display of soft queer porn novellas for tweenagers.
Dutton in power needs to provide kudos and funds for tweenage and teenage novellas that provide a counter to this sort of thing.
How about a tale about kids with some friends who are detransitioning?
Maybe.
I’d rather governments stop believing that they can, and should, act as a Ministry Of Culture.
More importantly, parent need to realise that childcare, schools, libraries, sports clubs, church groups, are- and have always been- a potential access point for bad actors, and they should constantly check in with what their kids are doing, hearing, and reading. I fear that in a country like Aus, with high degrees of working parents and long hours, “childcare” is relied upon more than ever, and gets unwise levels of trust by a sort of benign disengagement.
Here in WA the sitting premier has just promised five day week kindergarten. Eeejit. It doesn’t help that the sector employs lots doughy sorts who are otherwise short on work skills, and high on entitlement.
I think I would prefer Dutton went all Musk on anything cultural the government does. It should not be a role for government. Including the HR divisions in government departments. Anything with the word “culture” in its title is immediately shut down.

Unfortunately they also overwhelmingly supported climate rubbish in 2023 and 2024. Hopefully though they might be coming to their senses.
It does make you wonder what would happen if Australians were given the opportunity to vote on whether they supported the Net Zero target or not. My guess is that at least 60% would be against it.

Gulf of America?
“America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer who set forth the then-revolutionary concept that the lands that Christopher Columbus sailed to in 1492 were part of a separate continent. Columbus thought he found India, which is why we call the indigenous people American Indians.
To say Trump is being arrogant is questionable. The Gulf of America is probably more accurate since this is all of North America.
Calling it the Gulf of the USA or something like that would be arrogant.”

How many Canberra public servants vote Liberal?
I’m guessing fewer than 5%.
In terms of voting intentions, the Australian public service is virtually identical to the Australian news media. It is a radical political party.
Possibly true now, certainly not around 50years ago.
I know a number of Canberra folk and visit there often.
Quite like Canberra, although it is getting a bit shabby under self govt.
Left wing groupthink is so pervasive there – proudly stating the usual Cat type views would definitely be career limiting for many.
Even mentioning admiration for JD Vance leads to your companions looking around in case anyone else noticed, and saying “ Shoosh, this is Canberra, remember.”
Diversity in all but opinion.
As for supporting President Trump –
I am certain that expressing an unhealthy interest in most sexual deviancies would be far better received.
Just look at the MHRs and Senators from canbra.
None.
It would be interesting to compare the voting patterns of Canberra based APS and regionally based APS.
a good aspect of of working from home paradigm is the APS has started employing people that do not live in Canberra.

Car colours.
If you were trying to set up accidents nearly all the current colours, which verge on deliberate camouflage, would be your choice.
I want bright yellow so any bastard who runs into me doesn’t have an excuse.
Yes, my current car the choices were a sort of greyish white, or five shades of grey.
there was a media report many years ago, supposedly based on NZ insurance data, that grey cars have the least number of accidents, or at least insurance claims for accidents.
Australian politicians stick their fingers in their ears and cry “Not listening!”:
Your bacon – and everything else – is going to get even more expensive thanks to these idiots.
Keep digging! That hole is not deep enough.
They’re so far in that they are terrified of stopping and think their only choice is going harder and faster in the hope of out running the monster they have created.
Whyalla is discovering the cost of transitioning away from fossil fuels, with its steelworks looking in big trouble. Australia blessed with abundant fossil fuel resources but cursed with hoards of inner-city airheads.

That’s the lowest of any OECD country.

From The Oz…..
Eli Sharabi, Or Levy and Ohad Ben Ami, who were freed on Saturday have told their families they were kept chained and gagged, burned with a “white hot” object and hung by their feet, in descriptions that have horrified Israel.
The mother of Eliya Cohen, who remains in captivity, has said her son was held with returning hostages who told her he was has been chained in a tunnel for the entire length of his captivity, gets little food or daylight, and suffers from an untreated bullet wound to the leg sustained during the October 7 2023 massacre.
Israel’s state broadcaster said Mr Sharabi, Mr Levy and Mr Ben Ami had been separately interrogated and tortured by their captors. Kan reported they were burned with a white-hot, unidentified object. At one point, the report said, one of the hostages collapsed, leading his fellow captives to think he had died.
Pure Nazism.
And when I read the above, please forgive me if I then need to distract myself with trivialities and fripperies.
Neutron bomb Gaza. The most disgusting garbage of earth. No loss.
This on top of the many examples of judicial interference with Trump’s mandate:
Judge John J. McConnell Jr. says Donald Trump is still illegally freezing federal money – Washington Times
Trump through his AG, the impressive Pam Bondi, has to develop a response to these many judicial activists. My initial idea would be for him to ignore all these judicial orders and then wait for the demorats to take one or all the examples to SCOTUS. If he doesn’t have a plan he is going to go the same way he went in his first term: bogged down by demorat bullshit.
That’s Volvo thinking, Eyrie.
Tangentially, i’d love LED headlights to be banned outright, as damaging to eyesight, but more worser, ending the age old polite consideration of eye contact when travellers cross ways. Try it today- try to get a read of the driver in a newer car, 90% of which have wanky LED drivibg lights on constantly. It’s impossible.
I’d rather not get run in to.
Also ban tinted windows for the front ssats so you can see where the other guy is looking.

Green hydrogen has gone the way of the Norwegian Blue

As the Norwegian Blue parrot is to the pet shop owner in Monty Python’s Flying Circus, so green hydrogen is to Chris Bowen.
If you believe the Energy Minister, green hydrogen in Australia is not dead or deceased or bereft of life. It’s just resting, pining for fields of solar panels and wind turbines.
Sadly, for Bowen, green hydrogen made from renewable energy using the process of electrolysis has all the features of that dead parrot, as more and more projects are cancelled. The latest is the Gladstone hub, where the newly elected Crisafulli LNP government has pulled the pin.
The massively expensive green hydrogen project in South Australia, sponsored by the Malinauskas Labor government, is looking shaky as the future of the Whyalla Steel Works becomes more uncertain.
The trouble with green hydrogen is that it’s far too expensive; there is simply not the available renewable energy; the technical complications are unresolved; and there are no customers. It’s not just dead here; it is gently being interred in other parts of the world, including Europe. It was a pipedream when it was first floated under the previous Coalition government; it remains a pipedream.
The Coalition even went to the trouble of getting then chief scientist, Alan Finkel, to undertake a review of the prospects for hydrogen production in Australia.
The final report was reasonably upbeat, although it’s hard to see how it could ever make sense to use electricity to produce hydrogen to produce electricity.
It’s not necessary to fill out the spreadsheets to realise that the economics of this transformation are unlikely to stack up – the ratio of energy in to energy out is around 0.3.
The Albanese Labor government has demonstrated even more enthusiasm for green hydrogen than the Coalition’s preliminary steps. The Prime Minister has enthusiastically declared that Australia has “an enormous opportunity with green hydrogen and to bring things back here”.
In his opinion, “the reason why we’re doing hydrogen hubs around Australia is that the growth and potential of this industry isn’t a niche industry. This is something that will make an enormous difference to Australia’s economy.”
Similarly, the pet shop owner – OK, Chris Bowen – has stated that “reports of the death of the green hydrogen industry are greatly exaggerated”. By the end of the decade – in five years’ time – he foresees “a green hydrogen industry (that) will be up and running as well as electric planes in the skies”.
The Albanese government has had several attempts to kickstart a green hydrogen industry. There is the $2bn Hydrogen Headstart program, as well as green hydrogen production tax credits estimated to be worth nearly $7bn over a decade. These initiatives have been undertaken even though the barriers to the development of a green hydrogen industry are close to insurmountable.
There is now some acknowledgment that liquid hydrogen won’t be transported to overseas destinations – the costs and technical barriers are just too great.
But both Albanese and Bowen hold on to the remote possibility that green hydrogen can be used to transform bauxite and iron ore to make green alumina, green aluminium and green steel and that customers would be prepared to pay a price premium.
At this stage, you would have to say they’re dreamin’, to quote a classic Australian expression.
Let’s not forget here that during the last election campaign, Albanese pledged that the new gas plant at Kurri Kurri in the Hunter Valley would be partly fuelled by hydrogen. The fact was – and remains the case – there is no source of green hydrogen in the precinct. Ironically, the plant used diesel for several months before the gas became available.
Take the case of the proposed and now ditched Gladstone hub. To meet the aspiration of four million tonnes of green hydrogen per year, there would be a requirement for 110,000 megawatts of additional renewable energy, which is close to two times the existing capacity of the entire National Electricity Market.
In turn, this will involve some 10,000 wind turbines and 2500sq km of solar panels. This was never going to happen.
The electrolysis process also requires water – some 4500 megalitres per year.
What happens to the money committed to green hydrogen in the context of the swath of abandoned projects?
Hopefully, moneys committed but not yet spent can be recovered. There is also the upside that the forecast outlays on production tax credits will never materialise.
Having said this, there are some significant issues that remain outstanding. The first relates to the Integrated System Plan developed by the Australian Market Energy Operator.
AEMO is fully on board with green hydrogen, and it figures prominently in its forecasts of future demand for electricity. There are some extraordinarily naive commercial assumptions about expensive electrolysers being switched on and off depending on the availability of renewable energy.
Take this assertion. “Hydrogen load is expected to lift minimum demand and have minimal impact at times of peak demand. It is also expected to be technically capable of providing flexibility by turning off for whole days when weather conditions are unfavourable, depending on the commercial implications of doing so.”
According to the ISP, green hydrogen will lead to more investment in renewable energy, which will be available for the entire grid when it suits the market operator. Ask any engineer about operating a capital-intensive piece of equipment on this basis and they will also talk about dreamin’.
The broader point about the ISP, and one that is being made forcefully by Aidan Morrison of the Centre for Independent Studies, is that AEMO’s planning process is fundamentally flawed. Instead of following the underlying legislation and the need to fulfil the objectives of efficiency, lowest cost and emissions reduction, the ISP is really a case of the tail wagging the dog.
All the parameters of government policy are simply accepted – think here renewable energy penetration, emissions target, take-up of electric vehicles – and the features of the plan are devised around meeting these parameters. In effect, the objectives of efficiency and cost are deprioritised, to the detriment of households and businesses.
The second issue is Bowen’s decision to reject outright the option of blue hydrogen made from natural gas, in combination with carbon capture and storage. This is where much of the action is in the US, with government subsidies of $US85 available for every tonne of CO2 captured and stored.
Certain sectors of industry require hydrogen, in particular fertiliser manufacturing, and Australia is ill-advised to turn its back on blue hydrogen given the relative ease of extracting hydrogen from methane. We also have several obvious sites to store the captured CO2, particularly in the Cooper Basin.
But at this stage, Bowen is showing all the stubbornness of the pet-shop owner who expected the purchaser of the parrot to accept that it wasn’t dead. It was.
Blackout is a serious threat to Australia.
He’s also a serious threat to Labor’s re-election chances.
Polling reveals him to be even less popular than Albo.
And who can forget his contribution to the 2022 campaign? He despises middle Australia.
And how he single handedly sunk Peanut Head in 2019 against SloMo.

UK energy giant BP has hit pause on a clean fuels project worth around a A$1 billion (US$619 million) at its under-construction Kwinana energy hub in Western Australia.
BP informed its employees in meetings on Thursday, followed by telling contractors on Friday, according to people involved who were not authorised to speak to the media, reported boilingcold.com.au. Some BP staff will be made redundant.
The company had plans to build a biofuels project – Kwinana Renewable Fuels (KRF) — that was to produce sustainable fuels from biomass and a green hydrogen plant dubbed H2Kwinana.

Donald Trump’s NEW Tax Plan — Key Details & Analysis
The video discusses Donald Trump’s proposed new tax plan, which includes a 15% flat rate for corporate, individual income, and capital gains taxes, alongside a universal 15% tariff on foreign goods. The plan aims to promote economic growth and competitiveness by attracting capital and businesses to the U.S., similar to the benefits observed in states without income tax like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee. Trump seeks to lower existing tax rates, make previous tax cuts permanent, and push for reforms like eliminating taxes on tips and overtime. The hosts highlight that such tax reforms would boost prosperity, lessen bureaucracy, and potentially increase federal revenue by spurring economic expansion. They also mention Trump’s urgency to implement these changes within a limited timeframe.
Fun facts to know and tell:
Manufacturing contributes just over 5% of Australia’s GDP (2023, World Bank).
That’s the lowest of any OECD country (inc. NZ).
The blowjob economy in all it’s glory.
Mowing lawns, making coffees and happy endings is most of the economy now. Oh and government. Which we now know thanks to DOGE is just a gigantic slush fund for left wing scumbag thieves.
Where is our DOGE? Where is our nationalist party promising to open the books?
No f*cking where.
Dutton looks to be setting rising star Jacinta Price (recently announced as shadow minister for government efficiency) up to fail on that front.
At best, any cost cutting she’s permitted to follow through with will be cosmetic (e.g. Welcomes to Country).
Dont forget the ‘caring economy’ … you know, wiping bums and doing the vacuuming for the morbidly obese, then doing their shopping…
all good ‘value adding’ jobs!
