Special Delivery, I lived on my yacht for about 10 years. 20Lb of gas supplied my cooking & a small fridge, & 3 liters of fuel put enough charge in my batteries to give me 12 volt lighting foe a week.

This was fine while cruising, or working at a plantation, with some shore facilities available. However when working seriously in Sydney I had to be at a marina with water, 240 volt shore power, & in the days before mobiles, a phone. Without such facilities I could not even wash & iron my shirts. Would you believe I never ironed my & shirts.

What I'm saying is different lifestyles require different facilities, however I have not seen a single island village refuse 240 volt power when it was available, need it or not.

Columnist Tim Blair has today described climate change as man's 'greatest invention'. He then refers to PMs whose careers were wrecked by it: Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and Malcolm Turnbull. And, there's Opposition leader, Bill Shorten, also losing his job because of it.

Morrson is having a five bob each way - saying nothing, doing nothing - in the hope that climate change won't do for him as well.

If they are dumb enough to believe the scam, or devious enough to try to use it to their advantage, they should never have been elected in the first place.

Dear Bazz,

Geez mate you talk out of your backside.

“Armchair, from around 700 ad odd when the Arabs invaded Spain the Jews
were prohibited from being traders, politicians, teachers etc.
The only work available to them other than being a slave was as a
financier and banker. They were not allowed to charge interest,
So for the next 1000s + years that was their trade and they were successful.
It appears they still are successful.”

What an absolute crock!

The time under the Muslim occupation in Spain is regarded by many as the most fruitful time for the Jewish culture since the fall of the temple. They absolutely flourished. When the Christians took over and again forced out the Jews it was Arab countries which gave the refuge.

You really are a nasty little propagandist aren't you.

Shame.

Dear Hasbeen,

Global warming is supported by robust, peer reviewed science and the only place it is regarded a scam is in the addled brains of the ideologically tainted.

Get a life.

Steely if you keep repeating that bull dust to yourself for long enough, loudly enough, you just might be able to convince yourself it is true, if you are feeble minded enough.

Rather than dump Paris, Two-face Morrison has handed out another 1 billion taxpayer dollars to private companies for more unreliable energy experiments. The man is as bad as Turnbull. Turnbull has, in fact, tweeted his support for this latest waste of public money and total disregard for Australia's energy future.
