  • Consumer Warning: Sarah Ferguson is at it Again

    After her ridiculously biased, inept, expensive and slickly misleading three-part effort to nail Donald Trump as Putin's puppet, it's hard to see how anyone could take seriously anything she says or claims. Well anyone not part of ABC management that is, because the national broadcaster continues to indulge her unhinged editorialising, as evidenced by her recent fan-girl interview with Nancy Pelosi

  • Whatever Will Climateers Cook Up Next?

    There's a veritable industry of academics raising alarm about how global warming and a polluted, dying planet will leave humanity and the animal kingdom in such a state that cannibalism will be a matter of survival. I'll spurn schoolyard puns and cheap gags except for one, and that by way of good advice: don't give them a big hand

  • You Will Eat Bugs. You Will Enjoy Them

    I thought initially that this topic was a bit of fun. But it turns out that entomophagy, as the eating of insects is called, is an essential component of the Western lemmings' race to net-zero. Need it be said that one of the biggest and most enthusiastic lemmings is our very own climate crazies at the CSIRO?

  • Lights, Camera … Propaganda

    You've probably never heard of Good Energy's green zealots, but they know about you and how much movies affect public perceptions. Hence their billionaire-funded 'cheat sheet' for scriptwriters, which includes exhortations to depict characters having mental health crises over global warming, plastics pollution and the like

    As a general rule, you can count on any and all indigenous 'educational' material produced by Their ABC to be at best misleading and, at worst, confected agit-prop. With 'classroom resource' Keep the fire burning! Blak, loud and proud, the national broadcaster plumbs new depths of error and omission

  • How Bruce Pascoe Fattens his Black Duck

    Fools and their money are soon parted, and no cash is gobbled faster than the donations dropped into the beggar's bowl of Australia's premier fauxborigine and fact-fiddler. One assumes simple-minded donors, including a branch of the Murdoch clan, are happy to be contribute. But what of taxpayers who have no say?

  • You Can’t Trust the ABC – and That’s a Fact

    The ultimate absurdity is that the ABC is about to launch News Verify, enforcing and imposing its version of truthiness on the Australian media landscape. Place any faith in this initiative? Well, bear in mind this is the organisation that ran with the fake news of Trump's Russia conspiracy for four years and hounded an innocent George Pell into prison

  • Academy of Science Backs a Nuclear Future

    Normally, when Chris Bowen is pushing renewables, he'll cite the considered view of Australia's premier scientific body to justify dotting the landscape with solar farms and wind turbines. But not now, not when Peter Dutton is advocating at least seven clean, green, no-emissions reactors. The problem: the boffins think going nuke is a great idea
