• Guest Post: dot – Submission re Digital Identity bill

    The Digital Identity framework does not pass any reasonable cost-benefit analysis. Nor does the framework show any understanding of how e-commerce or digital currencies work. -The PPSR is a white elephant, why won’t this be? -Service providers have engaged in e-commerce for over two decades. -Why can’t banks and shops collaborate to use QR codes?…

  • The Fascist Government of Victoria

    Ever wonder how fascists were able to run one-party states in Europe? Come to Victoria and find out for yourself. Daniel Andrews is the stupidest clod I have ever seen in politics. He knows only force and never reason. He just tells people what to do and threatens them with absurdly high fines and now…

  • Campion’s primer on atmospheric physics

    “Net Zero” is pointless. There is no CO2 “greenhouse effect.” Basic physics proves that. CO2 absorbs outgoing longwave infrared radiation (heat) as photons at the 14.8 microns frequency (Planck’s Law). The temperature of absorption at 14.8 microns is -80 degrees Celsius (Wien’s Displacement Law). Minus 80 degrees Celsius is 95 degrees lower than average atmospheric…

  • Twenty-nine years is a long time in politics

    It’s clear that focus groups and polling have demonstrated to the Libs that they must first show up in Glasgow and then must support the 2050 Zero Emissions target. This they must do irrespective of what they personally believe if they are to win the next election. But that is to win the moron vote…

  • Guest Post: Rabz – Submission in opposition to the Exposure Draft of the Digital Identity Legislation as proposed by the Australian Government

    We the undersigned, are lodging this submission to express our implacable opposition to the Australian Government’s proposed Digital Identity Legislation. Australian citizens have no reason whatsoever to be “grateful” that the government will find it easier to access a comprehensive database of information on every single one of them. The legislation is little more than…

  • China saves COP and the world

    I was waiting for this because the Chinese have been playing the wokies of the west like trout with displays of RE installations and the distant promise of peak emissions. Update. Playing the wokies like a trout is quite wrong, the trout have the good sense to resist. The wokies are not resisting, they are…

  • Trouble at mill

    The Tories are not united on the eve of COP. With just over a week to go before Boris Johnson hosts the largest ever gathering of world leaders in Britain, tensions are rising and tempers fraying in Downing Street. The prime minister is said to be “irritated” by Alok Sharma, the man he appointed to chair the Cop26…

  • Petition to ensure the immediate repeal of the TGA statement on Ivermectin

    For background there is firstly this. There was a bit of a kerfuffle in Indonesia in June this year. A philanthropist wanted to hand out free ivermectin, but was closed down by the Indonesian Government. Covid cases continued rising, and government policy on ivermectin flipped to approval on 15th July. Then what happened? The [Australian]…

  • Pass the begging bowl

      As I mentioned last week, I’ve set-up two means by which readers of New Catallaxy can support the continuation and development of  this forum. One is via donation, and the other is simply by visiting Amazon via New Catallaxy’s unique weblink (see Support page for both). If you’re a regular here, the price of…

  • The Age fires Michael Leunig for contradicting the covid narrative

    Freedom of the press also apparently includes the right to suppress news you do not want anyone to hear. This, however, is astounding: The Age cartoonist Michael Leunig axed after anti-Dan Andrews cartoon. The story is from The Oz. “Gay feels this type of cartoon is not in line with public sentiment, and The Age’s readership,…
