‘JULIA Gillard’s carbon dioxide tax is the most brazen fraud to be perpetrated by an Australian government.
Warming believers should be outraged that the tax is so useless.
Sceptics should be outraged it’s so pointless.
It offends the intelligence of everyone and threatens the jobs of thousands. For nothing.
….Yesterday Gillard promised to spend undeclared billions more to decommission some 2000 megawatt coal-fired power station to stop its “dirty” emissions. That station will almost certainly be Hazelwood, in Victoria.
Consider the madness. Hazelwood supplies up to a quarter of the baseload power of growing Victoria, which needs more power stations, not less. And that cheap, reliable power will be replaced with … what?..’

‘..An extraordinary transparent car is set to fetch as much as $475,000 when it goes up for auction.
The motor, dubbed the ‘Ghost Car’, is a Pontiac Deluxe Six which, bizarrely, has been covered in the see-through material Plexiglas.
Built in 1939 by General Motors and chemical company Rohm and Haas at a cost of $25,000, it was the first transparent full-sized car to be made in America…’  source

This government’s carbon tax policy is released and Andrew Bolt eviscerates it:
‘…Julia Gillard cites in her support Margaret Thatcher, who indeed did warn in 1988 that we should worry about global warming. What Gillard fails to add was that by 2002, Thatcher had developed second thoughts about the alarmists, writing that global warming “provides a marvelous excuse for worldwide, supra-national socialism”…’ (bold mine. kg)

I just downloaded the free Kindle reader app  to this Mac. Next, all of Oswald Bastable’s books and all of Francis Porretto’s, plus “Mexifornia” and “How the Obama administration threatens our national security”, both by Victor Davis Hanson.

‘Act ad man blasts ‘apartheid’
The marketing guru behind the Iwi/Kiwi billboards and the new Act Party adverts has attacked “white cowards” for not standing up against the “Maorification” of the country.
Act Party creative director John Ansell said Maori were taking advantage of New Zealand’s fear of appearing racist and he wanted the Act Party to speak out.
….Ansell said Key was an “idiot” who was the “most lilly-livered Prime Minister” and a “massively incompetent economic manager”. He said the National Party no longer espoused the values it claimed – instead the Act Party had taken over…’

‘Australian kids are living in climate of fear
PRIMARY school children are being terrified by lessons claiming climate change will bring “death, injury and destruction” to the world unless they take action.
On the eve of Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s carbon tax package announcement, psychologists and scientists said the lessons were alarmist, created unneeded anxiety among school children and endangered their mental health.
Climate change as a “Doomsday scenario” is being taught in classrooms across Australia.
Resource material produced by the Gillard government for primary school teachers and students states climate change will cause “devastating disasters”.
“As well as their terrible impact on people, animals and ecosystems they cause billions of dollars worth of damage to homes and other buildings,” the material says.
……Federal Schools Minister Peter Garrett said the government would not stop the teaching of climate science, despite moves in Britain for the subject to be withdrawn…’
“Climate science” my ass–this is naked propaganda. Some brave and enterprising person needs to file a child-abuse complaint against that asshole Garrett and drag him in front of a judge.

‘New Zealand war heroes in their 90s ended up paying to attend commemorations in Europe while the taxpayer funded the Defence Minister’s luxury travel, personal assistant and top hotels.
The treatment of the veterans on the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Crete shocked observers, who had expected to see them treated as the centrepiece of the New Zealand contingent.
Defence Minister Wayne Mapp spent more than $26,000 on flights and top hotels for himself and a secretary, in luxurious suites overlooking the Bay of Chania.
But New Zealand’s war heroes were forced to pay out of their own pockets, arrange their own itineraries and stay in modest accommodation, with just $2000 Government support – less than a return airfare.
Australian veterans were flown over by their Government and cared for by provided doctors. They stayed at the same upmarket lodgings as Australia’s defence and government officials…’

Beer’s in the cooler. Food optional but not recommended–it stuffs up the taste of beer and cigars.

‘Crime reporter and blogger Tina Trent says that President Obama’s intervention on behalf of an illegal alien killer can be traced back to a 2003 conference that featured Bernardine Dohrn, Van Jones, and representatives of the Soros-funded Open Society Institute. “The purpose of the conference was to find ways to insinuate international (read: United Nations) laws and resolutions in American legal arenas, as Sandra Babcock is attempting to do to free her client, Humberto Leal,” Trent reports on her blog…’
