I have just watched a presentation by Mark Mills on the absence of any profound energy transition from hydrocarbon fuels, despite the trillions of dollars spent, and on the impossibility of it ever happening. It is worth a view, if you have the time. One hour and sixteen minutes. Of course Mills makes the point…

Tanya Plibersek’s effective last-minute banning of the McPhillamys gold mine in regional NSW occupies much of the news. Apparently, secret Aboriginal business says no. To be clear, Ms Plibersek, in her practised supercilious manner, tells us that she has not banned the mine at all, just the tailings dam. This is echoed by Albanese and…

From The Jerusalem Post (Aug 20): The Hostages and Missing Families Forum stressed that the only way to return the 109 hostages is through a negotiated deal. It is clear that Israel has been impeded from yet securing complete victory over Hamas by the West’s, particularly the United States’, desultory support. Apropos delaying the supply…

I did a very small survey. Asked my next-door neighbour what she thought of the government giving 2,900 entry visas to Gazan Palestinians. She hadn’t caught that news. Hmm? Next I asked a chap in my club gym. He was suitably appalled. Asked another chap. He said that he agreed with the policy. He thought…

Where do you put religion in your lives is my question for the week. Mind you, I am talking only about the true religion Christianity, with an honourable place for Judaism. I am not talking about the nonsense that goes under the name of Islam, or for that matter any of the Eastern religions like…

Read a very long article here on the BBC’s website last week.  In essence, it is a thinly-disguised apologia for the IOC’s decision to allow Imane Khelif to compete in women’s boxing despite being banned by the International Boxing Association (IBA), which governs amateur boxing. Is the chromosome test conducted by the IBA, which apparently…

Andrew (Twiggy) Forest is downsizing his green hydrogen ambitions. It’s funny really, outside of alchemy and perpetual motion there is little that can’t be done if enough money is thrown at it. There’s the rub. Money ruining everything again, even the dreams of climate cultists. A condition precedent for making affordable green hydrogen according to…

All of the crooked mainstream media (i.e., most of the MSM) are getting behind Madame Cackle. Air brushing is taking on a whole new meaning. She was never the border czar, apparently. And why wasn’t she the border czar? Because the border is broken. Why is the border broken? Because Biden-Harris undid Trump’s successful measures…

I put together a piece yesterday (not yet up) about Donald Trump’s providential survival of an assassin’s bullet. A close shave indeed. In the course of writing, I noted that Paul Kelly (July 17) was true to dismal form in bucketing Trump. I queried why the Murdoch-owned national broadsheet gave so much space to anti-Trump…

I have been lucky. For the last ten years or so I have attended a church without discovering the political beliefs of the two ministers in charge during that time; this despite having been on Parish Council for the past five years and having participating in lots of Bible-study sessions. Alas, after only a few…
