You do this ..... you get this

You do this:


There is no way you can write the sentence, “The treasurer of Australia, Scott Morrison, came to question time with a lump of coal on Thursday,” and have that sentence seem anything other than the ravings of a psychedelic trip, so let’s just say it and be done with it.

Scott Morrison brought coal into the House of Representatives. A nice big hunk of black coal, kindly supplied by the Minerals Council of Australia.

“This is coal,” the treasurer said triumphantly, brandishing the trophy as if he’d just stumbled across an exotic species previously thought to be extinct.

“Don’t be afraid,” he said, soothingly, “don’t be scared.”

No one was afraid, or scared. People were just confused. What was this fresh idiocy?


You get this:



A third fish kill has occurred near Menindee on the Darling River overnight after temperatures plummeted following days of hot weather.

The latest fish kill follows an incident on 6 and 7 January in which hundreds of thousands of native fish, including Murray cod, golden perch and bony bream died around the Menindee weir.

There was also another mass kill before Christmas.

“This is likely worse than the last time,” said local Graeme McCrabb, who on Monday morning was down at the water’s edge at the back of the township, above Weir 32.

“I’ve just picked up a 50cm golden perch, and there are tens of thousands of little bony bream, dead.

“There are fish all around me just gasping for breath,” he said.


Never has it been more obvious that the Right would rather the Earth was destroyed than give up their pet obsessions and their corruption.
