I know, I shouldn’t be writing about Covid again. They (the political knaves in charge) would like to replay 2020 and 2021. Couldn’t help it. Last week it was Henry Ergas, today it was Covid-hysteric Greg Sheridan who riled me. Apparently, a Sharon Lewis, head of the Doherty Institute, told him that “75 percent of…

Not so long ago there were articles about how horrid life was for ladies on mining operations fly in/fly out. There’s an enormous number of strands here, not limited to ladies being the ‘koalas’ of minesites.

Farmers, facing a genuine existential threat, push back. And the public is on side while the government shows its ugly face. On Twitter #Netherlands, massive protests are underway. Farmers have been told to shut farms to reduce nitrogen emissions and they’ve taken to the streets. (It’s not clear if this is purely about fertilizer runoff, or climate…

What is this thing called ‘reproductive rights’? Sure, if you’re a liberal everything you want but can’t have for whatever reason is a violation of your rights.
