They've had a bit of rain of late in Germany, which meant the alarmists were screaming 'unprecedented!' and 'climate change-induced disasters'. The ABC, of course, took up the cause without ever bothering to check the records. Had that basic journalistic duty been fulfilled, the only story would have been the loss of life, as there was nothing at all odd about the latest deluge

The officially endorsed mutilation of long dead premier William Crowther's statue in Hobart's Franklin Square is typical of so many substandard cultural bureaucracies wishing to demonstrate their 'with it' relevance. What the likes of Hobart Mayor Anna Reynolds actually put on display in endorsing such vandalism is the disgrace of their windvane philistinism

It was immense bad luck for a Scottish backpacker and his companions to park their car unknowingly in the middle of a three-corner feud between two Aboriginal groups and, allied with the far less credible claimants on the basis of no evidence whatsoever and much against, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service

Misinformation abounds, premiers do as they wish, half the country is locked up and the China Virus keeps returning. Surely a man sufficiently smart to have charted a life's course that brought him to The Lodge can grasp that banishing COVID is and always will be a no better than a temporary victory. Yet still we wait for the obvious to be acknowledged

Among the many riddles of the virus, starting with the circumstances of its creation in Wuhan, we can only wonder at the especially baffling TGA edict banning ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

Our premiers have shown they cannot defeat COVID-19, but they can eliminate society in the trying. This is why I feel a great urgency to use whatever few means are left to us as citizens to oppose their vision for life under COVID. They, not me and the thousands of others who took to the state capitals' streets yesterday, are the true 'boofheads'

The wider corruption of the entire indigenous studies industry risked harsh scrutiny as a flow-on from the revealed holes in the fauxborigine's fantastic thesis. Clearly, something had to be done to isolate Pascoe and cauterize such a grievous wound to a politicised discipline's crumbling credibility. Thus, finally, did 'Farmers or Hunter-Gatherers?' appear

Those advocating obligatory vaccination and 'COVID passports', without which refuseniks would be denied work, travel, even admission to restaurants and sports stadia, are displaying their ignorance of sections 51 and 52 of the Constitution. Simply put, no federal or state government can impose compulsory vaccination or sanction those who decline

As a body of opinion long grown accustomed to losing, Australian conservatives need reminding the point of a culture war is to win it, not to be regarded as a jolly good sport for surrendering so much ground so meekly.

Peter Sutton and Keryn Walshe in 'Farmers or Hunter/Gatherers?' take up where I began with 'Bitter Harvest' and leave no cover for diehard believers hailing Bruce Pascoe for his 'truer history'.
