Doomed Planet

Compost That Corpse. It’s for the Planet

  • Tony Thomas

Is there no aspect of modern life -- and death, for that matter -- the climateers aren't keen to repurpose as palliatives for Gaia's climate-change torments? No, there isn't, not even the business of disposing of the dead, whose last sin against Nature is that of requiring carbon-intensive burials and, worst of all, cremations. These days, your dutiful green corpse insists on being left to rot

Hard Truths About Power for the Weaker Sex

Women seem disproportionately more susceptible to warnings of impending doom and, consequently, to the latest scares propagated by climate-change cultists. When former home affairs minister Karen Andrews appeals for a greater understanding as to why women abandoned the Liberals, she is on the money, though not perhaps in the way she thinks

The Challenge and Opportunity of Adversity

  • Chris Carr

Cannibalized by the green Left in the inner cities, faced with declining union membership and the loss of support from the working and lower-middle classes in the regions and outer suburbs, Labor should savour its post-election triumphalism while it can. The Liberals took their lumps this time, next time the demographic pain will be theirs

If Only We Were More Reasonable

Calm, cool reason could save us oceans of anguish, rancour, nervous collapse, broken friendships. Could it be that the adrenalin rush of being always in a state about something or other has become a necessary diversion from the contented boredom of life in a too comfortable, too privileged society?

Alcohol Helped, but Allegra Was Still There in the Morning

I switched on the TV just as Scott Morrison was conceding he had led his party into the wilderness. Having no wish to share the poor man's pain I went online to survey the full, horrific extent of the wreckage. What a mess! Still, there are consolations, chief amongst them the Liberals' potential rebirth under Peter Dutton as a party of principle and core beliefs

China, Dutton and the Common Destiny of Mankind

  • Keith Windschuttle
  • 22nd May 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (19)

Peter Dutton survived the bloodbath election and is by far the most reliable guardian of Australia’s defence and security in the parliament and a direct contrast to the Labor Party’s former Shadow Defence Minister Richard Marles, whose political response to China’s previous provocations was appeasement. It will be the nation’s dire misfortune if the Liberal remnants do not elect him their leader

Thanks, Minister Kean, You’ve Settled All Doubts

  • Walter Waverley
  • 20th May 2022

The latest vote-for-me flyers to soil my letterbox included this gem from NSW energy minister Matt Kean, a ridiculous figure in the estimation of all sensible people. “Net zero only happened because we had people like Dave," the green-blooded champion of addled energy policies wrote of Candidate Sharma. All thought of putting a '1' against the Liberal contender's name vanished as quickly as taxpayer cash into a rent-seeker's pocket

Their ABC: Unrepentant and Unfixable

  • Tony Thomas
  • 18th May 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (8)

The national broadcaster's Ita Buttrose has announced a new complaints process will be instituted, with an independent ombudsman no less. Sounds impressive, but only if you've never lodged a complaint about bias or inaccuracy. What happens is that the ABC acknowledges its error .... and then does it all over again ... and again ... and again...

Allegra, Please! Have Some Manners

  • Walter Waverley
  • 16th May 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (20)

It was rude of Madam Teal to intrude on my well-bred solitude with an unsolicited SMS invitation to ask about her positions and policies, but curiosity won and I responded by asking, among other topics, what she has in mind for Australian agriculture. The answer was three paragraphs of twaddle about Aborigines, refugees and the NDIS. After that it got even sillier

Many Good Words for the Christian Tradition

  • Kevin Donnelly
  • 16th May 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (10)

The attacks on Israel Folau and Margaret Court and the vitriol directed at George Pell for crimes never committed are further confirmation that Christianity and its place in our culture is under siege. To be launched this week by Tony Abbott, a new book lays out the case for a heritage and influence worth defending
