If Jenny was a science teacher in the 1970's she could well of been one of many teaching the kids that their would be no more oil by the mid 90's, we were heading for an ice age and that feminism was a good thing. Now she wants to tell Abbott how to run the country after the dismal failure of the Rudd and the feminist. We certainly don't want to go back to the past of the last 5 years as the voters let everyone know. Another one possessed with Abbott, Abbott and Abbott. Get used to it and just enjoy a little competence after 5 years of the opposite.

It's significant that when the Climate Change Commission got the sack the ex-members grasped instinctively for what they had not got, and sought to pretend they had it it by tacking it on to their name. 'Climate Change Authority'? WHAT authority, and derived from whom? A worse case of false advertising would be hard to find.

<<Back in 2008, at the Sydney Writer's Festival...>>

Was that the same Sydney Writer's Festival (crowd) that lauded and fawned upon David Hicks as if he was some kind of folk hero?

"but at least [Labor] paid lip service"

Wow, that's what matters, eh!

I don't really see what any of this has to do with the 1950s.

Why are the 1950s such a boogeyman to the Left?
Is it because it was the last time Australia was truly Australian?

One woman in cabinet?
I fail to see how having a vagina is a required "skill".

Just thought I'd post this for the benefit of anybody who wishes to know what is happening regarding the stand off between Australia and Indonesia on the latest boat.

It's interesting that "these days" Mr Morrison is seeking to suppress the information he so gleefully bandied around when in opposition.

Never mind, what he doesn't tell us the Indonesians will.

(Whodathunk that in 2013 our govt would resort to censorship of this kind... a slippery slope indeed)

Time to order our boats to stop at the border of Indonesian search & rescue territory.

If the Indonesians are not going to cooperate with our efforts, time to tell them to do the whole damn lot themselves. If they let their citizens carry passengers on these boats, it is their responsibility to rescue them when in trouble.
