Weaponising rumour: Australia's new political sensitivity : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 5/3/2018

The threshold of debate in Australian politics has been sewer-low for decades, but the latest turn has added another disfiguring side.

Cash is one of the reasons that the ability of women to perform in public office is viewed with scepticism. She has demonstrated that quotas for women, just because they are women, is a very foolish way to go. Anyone who can be reduced to idiocy by an old Commo like Doug Cameron really needs to be sent to the back bench and eased out at the next election. Cash is embarrassment to a floundering prime minister, who was daft enough to defend her - just because she is a woman. Although, I must say that the leader of a country who turns up at a perverts' Mardi Gras, beaming about 'love and pride' doesn't need any help to look silly.

Binoy most of us don't give a damn who does what to whom & with what in that little modern version of Peyton Place called Canberra.

If controlling just who was in who's pants was likely to give us better government it might matter. However whatever keeps them busy on things other than government is more likely to be advantageous, so mind your own business, & stop publishing this bulldust.

While they are busy in the bedroom, or the back streets, at least they are not thinking up some new stupidity like alternate power generation.

This is yesterday's news and already behind us and the joint settling down! Or would be, I believe, but for sh!t stirrers like the professionally divisive Author!

Who comes across as simply living for this stuff and a house divided against itself! And consequently, easy pickings, for the recruiting radicalists in our midst, and hiding in plain sight!?

Anyhow, Cash for comment (Cash's Comments) has taken on a whole new meaning. And doesn't Senator Cash look like a slim foxy chick, when she's going ape/ballistic?

I had a tumeric enlargement of historic proportions. And lifted the laptop! When she was threatening to air some female staffers dirty little sexual peccadilloes. Powerful women talking dirty are such an aphrodisiac.

I reckon she'd look hot in a bikini. She can put her slippers under my bed anytime she's that wound up energetic and passionate! And forgivable, as I'm not a member of her staff!

You're the top and on top Babe!
Wednesday is hump day, isn't it?
Dream, dream, dream, dream.
I can make you mine any day or time.
when all I have to do is Dream.
I want a dream lover,
so I don't have to dream alone.
Hahahaha! Just joking!

Let's have a little levity and perspective here! We're taking this stuff just far too seriously!

I don't think it matters who's bonking who, as long as it's in their own time and between consenting adults!

So Hasbeen, which alternate power is stupid?

The coal fired one we're using and at around 24 cents or better per KwH, or one like that STUPID ivy league Professor (ret) Robert Hargreaves in his, Thorium, cheaper than coal, proposes, with a median price of a tad under two cents per KwH!

Or perhaps you think it's sensible to pay 24 cents or better for coal fired power or somewhere north of 50 cents per KwH for notoriously unreliable, intermittent renewables?

Perhaps you believe prize winning investigative Journalist, Richard Martin, is another one of those like minded, alternative power morons, with his book, Thorium, Superfuel, subtitled, green energy.

Or maybe you think former NASA scientist and highly credentialed nuclear technologist, Kirk Soresen is just dreaming with his decades long and personally costly advocation of walk away safe, molten salt, (officially forbidden, quote, unquote) Thorium nuclear energy!?

Or Maybe it's chemical engineer and inventor and patent holder of the first nuclear reactor, Alvin Weinberg, when he as the father of nuclear technology said, he passionately believed our only possible future was not only a nuclear powered one! But a thorium powered one and more specifically as MSR's? And there are dozens of others, but word limits, limit!

Well? All effed in the head? Or just among our most intelligent leaders and need to be finally listened to!

Preferably, before we bankrupt the joint trying to power it with horrendously expensive and unreliable renewables, battery back ups and land criss crossed with enormously expensive, highly vulnerable, gold plated, high voltage transmission lines connecting all the intermittent alternatives to the grid? At great and unnecessary expense!

Or maybe you don't read anymore, or just don't want the facts Hasbeen? Or as a critique just applicable to the advocates of renewables?

And thanks for the segway, old mate.
Cheers, Alan B.

The unliked sniping at the unlikeable. All sounds very “homosexual”.
Paintball politics.
