Malcolm Turnbull said that News Corp is Australia's 'most powerful political actor'. It is virtually a member of the Right-Wing Coalition (Liberal-National) that seeks to get back into Government. NewsCorp campaigns for them, while providing cover when they stuff up.

How long before the others follow? About 3 microseconds. Why? Because they can. It may not be a cartel but it acts like one. In the USA these sorts of charges are called “junk fees”. We should just ban them. The banks may super profits. They’ll survive.

Neo-liberalism is the revival of the failed 19th century social and economic ideology of Laissez Faire, which collapsed in a massive heap with the Great Depression. After the World War 2, Western Leaders decided that we could do better. But the rich, greedy and powerful liked the old ways better.

Funny, should the Coalition win next year, concern about debt and deficit will suddenly evaporate. Further, no one will ask the new Coalition Government where the money’s coming from for the inevitable tax cuts and middle class welfare election sweeteners they’ll splash out on.

The new definition of “antisemitism” seems to be:
1. Making any statement about Israel that is not unconditionally supportive of the actions and positions of its Government, and/or
2. Expresses any concern for the plight of the Palestinian people.

Why would a proponent of nuclear energy as a solution to greenhouse emissions waste his time addressing a climate-denying outfit like the IPA when he could instead make his case to an audience working for climate action? It rather lets the cat out of the bag.
