Mourning Has Turned to Anger — and the Government Owns It

Following the shocking Islamist terrorist attack at Bondi Beach last Sunday, on the first night of Hanukkah, Australia has been united in grief. The shock has been global. The mourning continues.

But so does the anger.

That anger is now squarely directed at the Labor government — at Anthony Albanese, Penny Wong, and Tony Burke. Not because of what they say now, but because of what they failed to do for years.

The Jewish community has laid out the failures clearly:
the refusal to stop repeated hate-filled demonstrations;
the failure to implement the government’s own antisemitism report tabled six months ago;
the tolerance of extremist hate preachers in Sydney and Melbourne;
and the repeated failure of police to halt open antisemitic chanting on Australian streets.

After months of denial, Albanese has finally stirred. He now promises to implement the long-ignored recommendations, and he has unveiled a gun buyback scheme. The first is progress. The second is a distraction.

Because the core problem remains untouched.

The government — Albanese, Wong, and Burke — still refuse to name the ideology driving the surge in antisemitism. The cause is not vague “hate” or abstract “tensions.” It is Islamist extremism — a political creed that seeks a global caliphate under fundamentalist Sharia law. This ideology has been rejected by the vast majority of Muslim-majority nations, yet Western democracies remain paralysed, afraid even to speak its name.

Why? Electoral fear. Labor governs electorates with large Muslim populations and appears unwilling to risk political backlash.

A government that will not name the ideology driving antisemitic violence cannot be trusted to defeat it. You cannot police chants you refuse to condemn, nor stop terror while pretending its roots are unknowable. Until Albanese and his ministers find the courage to speak plainly — not in slogans, but in truths — every promise they make will ring hollow. Leadership begins with honesty. Australia has yet to see it.

Australia’s Leadership Failed Its Jewish Community — And Now the Nation Pays the Price

The massacre at Bondi Beach — a deadly Islamist terror attack on a Jewish Hanukkah celebration — has unleashed a wave of justified criticism from within Australia and around the world. The angry consensus: the Albanese government failed to act on repeated warnings about rising antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment — and the tragic consequences are now painfully clear. (Gatestone Institute)

Australian Jewish groups and commentators have been sounding the alarm for years. Homes, synagogues, and Jewish businesses were repeatedly targeted with vandalism and intimidation. Voices within the community warned that hate left unchecked would escalate. Yet political leaders often dismissed or downplayed these threats. (Gatestone Institute)

Internationally, criticism has been equally sharp. Israel’s foreign minister publicly accused Canberra of ignoring warnings and allowing antisemitism to “spread,” arguing that Australia’s policies helped create a permissive environment for Jew-hate. (SBS Australia)

Back home, Australian media and political figures have not held back either. Former treasurer Josh Frydenberg called the Bondi terror attack “the greatest stain on this nation,” accusing the government of abdicating responsibility and allowing daily rallies to become “incubators of hate.” He, along with others, demands stronger action — not just words. (SBS Australia)

Other critics highlight that key recommendations from an official antisemitism report have languished untouched on desks, even as hateful rhetoric surged. The result, they say, is a culture of inaction where hate speech went unpunished and warning signs were ignored. (ABC)

This isn’t just political disagreement — it is a profound indictment of leadership. When community fears are discounted and warnings go unheeded, the cost is measured in lives lost. Bondi Beach is a tragic reminder that words without action are not protection — they are failure.

When Platitudes Replace Leadership, People Die

Anthony Albanese was warned. Repeatedly.

By Jewish community leaders.
By media commentators.
By allies overseas — including the Prime Minister of Israel.

The warning was clear: unchecked anti-Israel agitation and antisemitic intimidation would turn violent. And yet Albanese did nothing — except talk.

Bondi Beach is now the price of that failure.

For nearly two years, Australia has tolerated street intimidation, chants calling for violence, harassment of Jewish Australians, and the open vilification of Israel — all waved through under the banner of “peaceful protest.” Hate laws sat idle. Police stood back. No deterrence. No consequences.

And every time tensions escalated, Albanese reached for the same empty phrase:

“There is no place for antisemitism in Australia.”

Words. Always words. Never action.

Saying you oppose antisemitism while refusing to enforce the law is not moral leadership — it is tacit permission. It signals to extremists that intimidation will be excused, hatred indulged, and threats ignored. Eventually, someone takes that signal seriously.

The Jewish community has been shouting into the void. Their concerns were minimised. Their fear dismissed. Their warnings treated as political inconvenience. Even now, after blood has been spilled, the government’s instinct is damage control — not accountability.

Multiculturalism does not survive on slogans. It survives on boundaries. When a government refuses to enforce those boundaries, it does not produce harmony — it produces radicalisation.

Anthony Albanese did not pull the trigger.
But he failed to stop the conditions that made this inevitable.

And Australia must now reckon with the cost of a Prime Minister who chose platitudes over protection.

Multiculturalism Without Boundaries Ends in Violence

It has finally happened. A horrific terror attack in Australia — long seen as a multicultural dream country. Tonight, a mass shooting erupted at Bondi Beach during the first night of a Hanukkah celebration, with gunmen opening fire on innocent people gathered for a Jewish festival. 

At least nine to ten people have been killed and many more wounded in one of Australia’s deadliest shootings in decades, as police responded and took two suspects into custody. (Reuters)

This isn’t random violence — it occurred at a Jewish community event. Israeli and Jewish leaders internationally have condemned the shooting as antisemitic terror targeting Jews in Australia. (The Jerusalem Post)

For two years, Western cities — including Sydney — have seen rising antisemitic chants and protests. Yet Australia’s response has been largely words, not action. Saying “we do not tolerate antisemitism” without enforcing serious protections amounts to tolerating it by default.

What could the government have done?

• Enforce and strengthen hate speech laws.

• Act decisively on repeated community warnings.

• Protect Jewish events and public spaces proactively.

Instead, calls have gone back and forth — including reports commissioned from community groups — with limited follow-through. The stark reality now: threats and intimidation have escalated into real terror. (Combat Antisemitism Movement)

Multiculturalism is under strain. True multicultural success depends on shared respect for core values and a real commitment to protect all communities. That means robust legal action against hate, serious security planning, and honest leadership — not just rhetoric.

Australia must rethink its approach to community safety, enforce its laws without fear, and ensure no group is left vulnerable. The safety and cohesion of this nation depends on it.

How Media Bias on Gaza Fueled Outrage

For weeks, months, even years, the world was told one story about Gaza:

“There’s a humanitarian catastrophe — famine — caused by Israel blocking aid.”

Images of gaunt children, empty shelves, desperate parents and starving babies dominated headlines and social feeds. Western streets filled with anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic protests. The message was unambiguous: Israel is starving civilians and denying them basic food.

But the reality — as emerging evidence makes painfully clear — was, at best, incomplete; at worst, a manipulated narrative with serious consequences.

Major outlets pushed the famine claim with little critical scrutiny. Yet independent reporting and activists uncovered evidence that undermines that narrative — evidence the media thereafter largely ignored or failed to correct.

Let’s break down the facts the global press chose not to report honestly.

1. The Baby Formula Warehouse Story

Earlier in 2025, doctors in Gaza warned that babies were going hungry due to a shortage of infant formula. The media amplified these claims widely, with The New York Times running a story titled “Parents in Gaza Are Running Out of Ways to Feed Their Children,” and The Guardian warning that babies were “at risk of death from lack of formula.” (HonestReporting)

But then something extraordinary happened:
Anti-Hamas activists published video evidence showing tons of baby formula and nutritional shakes stocked in warehouses controlled by the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health — supplies that were never distributed to starving families. (HonestReporting)

This wasn’t a trickle of supplies — it was literal tons sitting in storage.

It means:

• Supplies were available

• They were hoarded by Hamas, not Israel

• And the media didn’t question the narrative once the new evidence emerged

Yet the headlines that fuelled global outrage did precisely that: they laid blame on Israel, not on the group that controlled distribution.

This wasn’t just sloppy reporting. It was a failure to update the story when critical facts changed.

2. Was There Actual Famine? The Record Is Questionable

For months, UN bodies, aid organizations and media claimed famine was either present or imminent in the Gaza Strip. Yet evidence for mass starvation was never clearly established until August 2025, months after widespread press reports. (HonestReporting)

Even when the UN’s own food-security monitors declared famine, analysts questioned the methodology, scope and definitions used. (HonestReporting)

Moreover, images of “starving children” circulated widely —  were later reported to have had pre-existing medical conditions, meaning the claim that they were starving due to lack of food was overstated or misrepresented. (HonestReporting)

All the while, records show substantial amounts of food — including over 1,400 tons of baby formula and special formulations — were delivered into Gaza and did not reach those who supposedly were starving. 

Despite this, the same outlets that amplified famine claims largely did not correct their headlines when new evidence emerged.

3. The Narrative Was Weaponized — and We All Paid the Price

This wasn’t just journalism gone wrong — it became a global narrative weapon.

The story of starving children and blocked aid inspired:

• Anti-Israel protests in Western cities

• Calls for government action

• Political pressure on democratic leaders

• Headlines that overtook other major global news

And for what?
A narrative built on incomplete facts that, at the very least, ignored key evidence that undercut the claim of famine being caused by Israel’s actions.

In some cases, images were framed in ways that emphasized scarcity while ignoring nearby markets, operating shops, and ordinary scenes that did not fit the famine story. (HonestReporting)

When the dominant media narrative pushes images of desperate children and blames a particular actor for that desperation without full context — and then fails to update the public when new evidence contradicts parts of that narrative — that is not neutral reporting. That is agenda-driven journalism.

4. Where Was the Scrutiny?

When the famine narrative first broke:

• There was minimal fact-checking on the baby-formula claims

• Few journalists questioned why warehouses of formula existed untouched

• Errors or misleading impressions were not broadly corrected when evidence changed

The media treated assumptions as facts, and strong imagery as conclusive proof.

Contrast this with how other stories are handled: witness accounts are often dissected, government statements are sceptically examined, and conflicting evidence is foregrounded. But not here.

Why?
Because this narrative fit a broader political story that many media organisations already wanted to tell.

5. The Consequences of Media Bias

This isn’t a small error in reporting. It has real consequences:

• Violence and anti-Jewish sentiment flared in Western cities

• Democratically elected leaders were pressured to act on incomplete information

• Youth movements and activists took to streets chanting slogans born of misinformed outrage

• Entire reputations and national policies were influenced by narratives that lacked full context

When the media fails to challenge powerful narratives — especially ones driven by actors with political agendas — it ceases to be a watchdog and becomes an amplifier.

And when that amplification stokes anger, hatred, or division, the media becomes an accomplice in social fracture, not a reporter of truth.

Final Thought: Journalism Must Return to Reality

The story of baby formula in Gaza is not about dismissing the suffering of ordinary people — Gaza has endured immense hardship, war, and loss.

But reporting must be anchored in facts, not narratives that fit a preferred political story.

When journalists amplify claims without adequate scrutiny and then ignore contradictory evidence, they fail their readers. Worse, they shape world opinion on faulty foundations.

If we want a media that informs rather than inflames, the world must demand more than emotion.
We must demand truth.

Rewriting Reality: Wikipedia’s Bias Exposed

Wikipedia once promised open knowledge for everyone.

But John Stossel’s latest exposé, “How Wikipedia Got Captured,” shows how far that dream has fallen. The platform that claims to be neutral is now controlled by a tiny group of ideological editors, many openly left-wing activists, who decide what the world is allowed to believe.

This isn’t a quirk. It’s a crisis.

A Small Activist Cabal Runs the Show

Wikipedia loves to boast that “anyone can edit.”
In reality, a few thousand politically aligned editors dominate the content — and they enforce their worldview with iron discipline:

• Conservative or heterodox sources are labelled “unreliable.”
• Left-wing and state-funded outlets are labelled “reliable.”
• Edits that challenge the narrative are reversed or deleted.
• Dissenting editors are blocked.

Truth isn’t what the evidence says.
Truth is what the “approved” editors say.

Blatant Double Standards Everywhere

Stossel shows example after example:

• Obama’s migrant detention facilities? Can’t mention he built them.
• Crimes that don’t fit the narrative? “Not notable.”
• Articles about conservatives? Smears allowed, facts not.
• Terror groups sanitised while political opponents demonised.
• China’s propaganda outlets? Green-lit as “generally reliable.”

Wikipedia isn’t biased by accident — it’s biased by design.

Foreign Influence Is Real

China allows only state-approved editors to participate.
Their messaging softens criticism of the CCP while inflating criticism of the West.

Wikipedia banned just six CCP-linked accounts.
Six — out of millions of edits.

This is what “global information control” looks like.

Even Stossel’s Own Page Was Distorted

He tried to correct outright lies on his biography — with verified citations.
Editors blocked him.

Wikipedia works like this:
If you fit the narrative, you’re polished.
If you challenge it, you’re punished.

The Real Crisis: We Have No Trusted Source of Truth Anymore

Wikipedia feeds Google, Apple, Amazon, AI models, journalists, students — the entire digital world. When it becomes captured, every downstream system inherits the bias.

This is the real danger:
Not just a biased website, but a single centralised source of “truth” being controlled by activists and foreign interests.

When every source can be manipulated, how does a society know what is real?

We are now living that problem.

Conclusion

Wikipedia didn’t slowly drift left.
It was captured — intentionally, systematically, and with profound consequences.

In a world where every institution claims to define “the truth,” but each one is subject to political, ideological, or foreign influence, the public is left with no common foundation at all.

And without shared truth, democracies cannot function.

This is the warning Stossel is sounding.
And it’s one every citizen should take seriously.

The Real Climate Deniers, Those Who Want To Erase the Past

Climate orthodoxy has a fatal weakness — history.

A recent video, “Big Trouble in the Little Ice Age,” lays out a simple but devastating truth: the Earth has warmed and cooled dramatically long before fossil fuels. And today’s climate establishment can’t allow that truth to be acknowledged, because it breaks the “CO₂ controls everything” narrative that underpins Net Zero politics.

Here are the key points the activists want erased.

1. The Little Ice Age Was Real — and Global

From roughly 1300 to 1850, the world endured centuries of cold, storms, crop failures and social disruption. Evidence appears in:

• Europe

• North America

• China

• The Southern Hemisphere

• Antarctica

Not a “regional anomaly”—a global cold era.

2. Before That, the Medieval Warm Period Was Also Real

Between 900 and 1300 AD:

• Vineyards thrived in England

• Norse settlers farmed in Greenland

• Harvests boomed

• Many regions were warmer than today

This was long before fossil fuels.

That is why climate activists try so hard to write it out of history: natural warming undermines the dogma.

3. The Sun, Not CO₂, Explains the Shifts

The Little Ice Age coincided with major solar minimums, especially the Maunder Minimum.
Sun dimmed → world cooled.
Solar cycles matter. Models ignoring them are broken by design.

4. Cold Brings Chaos — Warmth Brings Stability

History contradicts modern climate rhetoric:

• The Medieval Warm Period was prosperous and calm

• The Little Ice Age brought famine, storms, failed harvests, and population decline

Yet today we’re told warming is the danger.
The past says otherwise.

5. Glaciers Began Retreating Before Industrialisation

European and Alaskan glaciers started shrinking around 1800–1850, well before significant CO₂ emissions.
If modern retreat began before fossil fuels, CO₂ cannot be the sole driver.

6. Erasing the Past Is the Real “Climate Denial”

Those who deny:

• the Medieval Warm Period

• the Little Ice Age

• historical weather extremes

• solar influence

• natural climate variability

…aren’t protecting science — they’re protecting a political narrative.

The Bottom Line

Climate changes. It always has.
But the idea that every shift today must be human-caused — and catastrophic — is contradicted by centuries of recorded history.

When governments rewrite the past to justify Net Zero’s costs and controls, they cross the line from science into ideology.

Understanding the Little Ice Age doesn’t “deny climate change.”
It simply denies the simplistic story used to reshape economies and erode freedoms.

And that’s exactly why they don’t want you to look too closely.

Here is the video. Well worth the 15minutes.

UK Police & the COVID Vaccine Cover-Up

You’d think that if a government rolled out a mass vaccination program — one deployed worldwide, mandated for the public, and pushing a novel mRNA technology — a complaint of misconduct or cover-up would trigger a full inquiry. You’d assume the police would at least be expected to investigate.

But in the UK in 2022, the opposite happened. Thanks to a Freedom-of-Information request, we now know that police were explicitly ordered to stand down on complaints related to COVID vaccines. (The Expose - Home)

This is not a lapse. It is not confusion.
It is a systematic suppression of accountability — a blow against democracy, transparency, and public trust.

Here’s what we know — and why it should outrage every citizen who believes in rule of law.

What the FOI Exposed

From the documents obtained in mid-2025:

• In January 2022, a directive issued by senior policing authorities (at least in Scotland) ordered that all complaints related to COVID-19 injections be refused. No reports accepted, no records taken, no investigations permitted. (The Expose - Home)

• The directive even named a previously filed crime reference (6029679/21) — submitted by complainants alleging serious offences such as misconduct in public office, gross negligence and even manslaughter — and ordered that no such investigation was underway, despite evidence that police had accepted material and were under statutory obligation to investigate. (ethicalapproach.co.uk)

• In plain terms: the public’s right to report alleged crimes was overridden by instruction from above. Victims with documented injuries and even deaths linked to vaccines were told their complaints would be ignored. Evidence retained but buried. Cases closed before they began. (The Expose - Home)

• The orders weren’t localised or accidental. They were systemic, widespread across jurisdictions, and lasted for years. (The Expose - Home)

That is not policing. That is cover-up.

What This Means for Democracy — Beyond the Vaccine Question

This isn’t just about vaccines. It’s about who gets to hold power to account — and whether institutions actually will when the stakes are high.

1. Rule of law is hollow if complaints can be shut down by fiat

A crime reference number should be the start of investigation, not the end. When the police are told to refuse, to ignore, to bury — the system becomes a shield for wrongdoing.

2. Transparency becomes meaningless in a “don’t ask, don’t tell” model

Regulators, health bodies, government agencies may claim oversight and safety protocols — but when complaints surface, the walls go up. No inquiry, no review, no accountability.

3. Public trust is destroyed — permanently

When ordinary people are told “we can’t investigate that,” especially after being told “this vaccine is safe and approved,” trust in institutions collapses. Once lost, it does not come back easily.

4. Dangerous precedent for future medical or governmental power

If this goes unchallenged — police ignoring complaints about vaccine harm — what’s to stop them ignoring protests, police violence, corruption, or other public-health failures in future?

5. Democracy needs whistle-blowers — and institutions willing to listen

A functioning democracy depends on checks and balances. If those checks are neutralised by internal directives, the concept of “public protection” is hollow.

Why the Official Story Doesn’t Hold — And Why the Media Didn’t Challenge It

When complaints were first filed (December 2021), the mainstream police response was predictable: “No evidence. No investigation.” (The Independent)

Fact-checkers repeated the same. Authorities emphasised regulatory approvals, global use of the vaccines, and “no clear link” to alleged harms. (euronews)

What they omitted was the half-truth: that investigations were proactively shut down. The directive to refuse complaints ensured that no matter how compelling the evidence, it would never reach the light.

That is why there was no “smoking gun.”
Not because none existed — but because it was deliberately buried.

And the media, largely complicit, accepted the police narrative uncritically. Not a single mainstream outlet pressed hard on the FOI-revealed directive when it emerged. Not one demanded answers for the victims silenced, the evidence ignored, the crime never pursued.

✅ What Must Happen Now

• Independent inquiry into vaccine-related complaints — into all evidence, all withdrawals, all dismissals.

• Full public disclosure of all FOI materials and directives instructing police to “stand down.”

• Parliamentary oversight and judicial review — to ensure police powers cannot be used to shield government-endorsed medical programs from accountability.

• Transparency reforms: any future mass medical program must include open complaint-investigation mechanisms, not internal coverups.

• Protection for whistleblowers and victims — not censorship and silence.

Because once you let the state decide whose complaints matter and whose don’t — you don’t have a democracy anymore.

🎯 Final Thought: This Is About More Than Vaccines — It’s About Power

The FOI isn’t just a document.
It’s a warning light.
A sign that when public health becomes entwined with politics, accountability is the first casualty.

We must demand answers. We must demand justice.
Because if we don’t — we accept that our institutions can silence us, hide data, crush dissent, and decide whose pain counts.

That is not safety.
That is control.

And every citizen should see this for what it is.

The mRNA Risks They Hid from Parents

Sometimes a story breaks that forces you to stop and ask:

How on earth was this allowed to happen?

We now know that the FDA is considering a black-box warning — the strongest warning it can impose — for mRNA COVID vaccines given to children and teens. Why? Because the agency has finally acknowledged multiple child deaths linked to the shots, with experts warning the real number may be higher .

Let that sink in.
These vaccines were mandated for schoolchildren. Kids were expelled for refusing them. Parents were ridiculed for hesitating. Scientists who raised concerns were smeared, silenced, or de-platformed. And now — four years later — the truth is surfacing.

This wasn’t a mistake.
It was a systemic failure of transparency, accountability, and basic morality.

While credible physicians warned of myocarditis risks in teens, especially boys, the public was told it was “rare,” “mild,” or “misinformation.” Even cases of serious harm within vaccine trials were quietly excluded from the results. Instead of open debate, we got censorship, political pressure, and a media more interested in enforcing a narrative than protecting children.

Megyn Kelly was attacked as an “anti-vaxxer” for questioning the safety of these shots in kids.
Turns out she — and others — were right to ask.
But those who pushed the mandates?
Those who insisted it was “safe and effective” for children without long-term data?
Those who mocked, shamed, and silenced dissenting voices?

They now fall silent.

No apology.
No accountability.
No explanation.

And the media?
Complicit.
They amplified the official line, demonised sceptics, and ignored emerging evidence until it became impossible to hide. They helped create the climate where debate was forbidden, and parents were kept in the dark.

In a healthy democracy, truth is tested through open discussion — not crushed because it’s inconvenient. Yet throughout COVID, we allowed governments, tech companies, and health bureaucrats to decide which facts we were permitted to hear.

Today’s black-box warning discussion is not just a medical story.
It is a moral indictment of the institutions that failed our children.

We must demand answers.
We must insist on transparency.
And above all, we must never again allow fear, politics, and censorship to trump truth and child safety.

Parents deserved honesty.
Children deserved protection.
They got neither.

Here is the video. Well worth a view. ; -

Net Zero Is National Self-Harm — and the LNP Must Not Blink

Australia has finally reached the moment where reality smashes into ideology. The Opposition has dumped its previous Net Zero commitment — and rightly so. That decision must not just be defended; it must be prosecuted with absolute conviction.

Because Net Zero, as currently pursued by Labor and the Greens, is not a climate policy.
It is a national economic suicide note.

The arguments against Net Zero are overwhelming, practical, and already visible across Europe — where the experiment is collapsing in real time.

And Australia is marching straight down the same path unless someone has the courage to pull the handbrake.

Below are the clear, undeniable reasons Net Zero must be abandoned — not politely questioned, not gently “rebalanced,” but rejected as the destructive, unworkable fantasy it is.

🔹 1. Net Zero Destroys Energy Security

Europe went all-in on wind and solar — and the result has been catastrophic:

• Coal and nuclear shut down prematurely
• Gas exploration halted
• Intermittent renewables left the grid exposed to weeks-long energy shortfalls (“Dunkelflaute”)

Australia is copying the same blueprint.

Labor is shutting down our coal stations without any proven replacement, gutting our energy security and placing us in permanent dependence on foreign gas imports and batteries that do not yet exist at industrial scale.

This isn’t strategy.
It’s delusion.

🔹 2. Renewable Intermittency Can’t Run a Modern Nation

Renewables are “unreliables” — entirely dependent on backup baseload power they do not provide themselves .

Batteries?
Today’s best large-scale batteries store 6–8 hours, while low-wind periods can last two weeks.

Australia is betting its national grid on a storage technology that:

• does not exist
• cannot exist at the required scale
• and is nowhere near cost-viable

This is not “transition.”
This is ideological gambling with the nation’s power supply.

🔹 3. Net Zero Causes Massive Electricity Price Increases

This is not theory. It’s now lived reality.

Europe’s electricity prices exploded — industrial prices up 5–7 times those of the US and China .

Germany and the UK — once industrial powerhouses — are now cautionary tales.

Here in Australia:

• Electricity prices have soared by 37% in 12 months
• Inflation jumped to 3.8%
• Every good and service is more expensive because energy sits at the base of every supply chain

Labor's claim that “renewables are the cheapest form of energy” has been obliterated by real-world evidence.

Cheap-on-paper renewables create sky-high bills once you add:

• backup gas
• transmission expansion
• short life-span asset replacement
• forced early closures of reliable plants
• storage that doesn’t yet exist

This is why prices rise every time renewables penetration increases.

🔹 4. Net Zero Wrecks Industry and Exports Jobs

Europe shows us the future if we continue down Labor’s path:

• Chemical industries gone
• Steelfactories closing
• Car manufacturing collapsing
• Businesses fleeing to the US where energy is cheap
• Entire supply chains hollowed out

Marshall warns that Europe is “wiping out its industrial base” in the name of Net Zero .

Australia is smaller, more vulnerable, and more exposed.
We won’t just lose manufacturing — we’ll lose:

• mining
• refining
• smelting
• heavy industry
• food processing
• agriculture

regional towns built around energy-intensive work

This is unilateral economic disarmament.

🔹 5. Net Zero Devastates Landscapes and Wildlife

Labor and the Greens constantly invoke environmentalism while pushing the greatest environmental destruction in Australian history:

T
• housands of kilometres of transmission lines bulldozed through farmland, forests and heritage land
• Wind turbines plastered across rural Australia
• Solar farms consuming entire regions of arable land
• Whale populations disrupted by offshore wind
• Birds and wildlife killed by turbines
• Europe is already recognising this disaster.

Australia is simply arriving late to the bonfire.

🔹 6. Net Zero Makes No Global Difference

This is the most important truth of all:

Australia could disappear tomorrow and global emissions would not change.

China builds two new coal plants per week.
India adds two per month.
Both have Net Zero deadlines so far in the future they can be safely ignored for decades.
Neither intends to cripple itself the way Europe has.

Yet Labor wants Australia — a 1.2% emitter — to commit economic suicide to impress nations who laugh at the idea.

🔹 7. Renewables Need Fossil Fuels to Exist

Every wind turbine, solar panel, and battery requires:

• massive mining
• diesel machinery
• fossil-fuel-based metals and chemicals
• shipping across the world
• gas or coal backup during downtime

“Clean energy” cannot exist without “dirty energy.”

The irony is inescapable.

🔹 8. Net Zero Punishes the Poor Most

Marshall is right: Net Zero is a policy that immiserates the poor .

• Higher electricity prices
• Higher food prices
• Higher rent and mortgages
• Lost jobs
• Lower wages
• Higher cost of living everywhere

Rich elites cope.
Ordinary Australians pay the price.

🔹 9. Australia Risks Becoming Europe 2.0

Europe tried to “lead the world.”
Nobody followed.
Now Europe is scrambling back to coal, reopening gas fields, and begging the US for LNG.

Australia is still pretending this model works.

Labor is pushing us into the same catastrophe — but with even fewer industrial strengths to lose.

🔹 10. A Sensible Energy Policy Is Possible

Australia can embrace

• Clean, affordable next-gen nuclear
• High-efficiency, low-emission coal
• Domestic gas
• Hydropower
• Renewables only where economically justified
• Technology-driven emissions reduction, not ideology-driven deadlines

This is not “anti-environment.”
It is pro-reality.

The LNP Must Hold the Line — No Backsliding

Net Zero is collapsing everywhere it has been tried.
It is not “the future.”
It is a failed experiment.

The LNP must argue forcefully, unapologetically, and with total clarity:

• Net Zero destroys jobs.

• Net Zero raises prices.

• Net Zero weakens the nation.

• Net Zero does nothing for the climate.

Australia cannot afford another decade of this fantasy.

The Opposition has finally stepped away from a policy that never made sense.
Now it must go further:

Expose it.
Discredit it.
And bury it for good.

Before Labor buries the country along with it.

Please watch Paul Marshall's presentation at this year's ARC conference in February. I have used his arguments in the above blog.

Mass Immigration, Media Spin and Weak Leaders

Every now and then, someone from the mainstream breaks ranks and says what everyone else can see but few in public life dare acknowledge. Erin Molan — long a familiar face in Australian media — is one of those voices. Her recent long-form interview with PragerU lays bare a set of uncomfortable truths: about mass immigration, media dishonesty, the decline of Western confidence, and the cultural void young people are falling into. The whole conversation is well worth watching, but here are the key themes that stood out.

From Sports Desk to Security and Politics — and Why She Had to Leave

Molan didn’t start out as a political lightning rod. Her entry into the national conversation was through sport — hosting football and tennis, and becoming the first woman to hold several major roles. But, as she explains, sport was the last genuinely apolitical part of the media landscape.
Once she moved to Sky News, she found herself confronting the very permission structure of mainstream media: conservative opinions were taboo, even where facts supported them; left-wing narratives were simply assumed as truth.

After October 7, that tension became unmanageable. What should have been a clear moral line — condemning a terrorist massacre — became “controversial.” The absurdity of this pushed her out of the strained “neutral by morning, opinionated by night” existence.

The Collapse of Media Integrity

One of Molan’s most cutting observations is what’s happened to journalism itself. Legacy media, she argues, has moved from reporting facts to laundering activist talking points.
Public broadcasters in Australia even reported terrorist propaganda as fact — with no accountability, no consequences, no retractions anyone would ever see. Accuracy is optional; narrative is supreme.

Meanwhile, young people — who’ve abandoned legacy outlets entirely — are turning to influencers, independent journalists, and alternative media for the truth. It’s a shift America experienced earlier; Australia is only just waking up to it.

The Moral Vacuum Among Young Men

Molan also speaks frankly about a crisis afflicting young men. Not a crisis of strength, but of identity. Boys are told masculinity is toxic, leadership is oppressive, and the traditional roles men once inhabited are inherently suspect.
The predictable result? They seek purpose from all the wrong places. Online extremists, pseudo-macho influencers, and nihilistic forums become their surrogate mentors.

It is not that masculinity has become dangerous — it’s that society has pathologised it. And now it wonders why so many young men are lost.

Mass Immigration Without Shared Values

Perhaps the most explosive portion of the interview concerns immigration.
Not immigration itself, but the complete abandonment of integration.

Molan points out the glaring reality: Australia is bringing in large numbers of migrants from countries where extremist ideologies are widespread, where hatred of the West is taught in schools, and where liberal democratic values are alien concepts. There is almost no vetting. No expectation to assimilate. No cultural guardrails at all. And the results — post–October 7 — have shocked even those who thought they were paying attention.

She contrasts this with her own upbringing in Indonesia, where her family respected local customs, adapted, learned the language, and understood they were guests. Today’s model is the complete opposite: host countries are expected to transform themselves to fit the migrant, not the other way around.

Western leaders, Molan argues, have forgotten the basic principle that built cohesive multicultural societies: shared values matter more than shared geography.

The Rise of Intolerance — and Leaders Too Weak to Confront It

The Opera House chants of “Gas the Jews” were a turning point for many Australians. For Molan, the scandal wasn't just that the chants happened — but that there were no consequences.
Weak leadership doesn’t neutralise intolerance; it rewards it.

When extremists see that nothing happens after such acts, they push further.
Australia, Molan says, is at risk of following the UK’s path: losing confidence in its own identity to the point where immigrants with stronger cultural convictions simply replace the weakened norm.

China’s Influence and the West’s Strategic Blindness

One of Molan’s most intriguing points is her view on China.
She believes Beijing actively fuels Western wokeness because division weakens competitors. China would never tolerate this ideology on its own soil — but it is delighted to see it tear the West apart.

Meanwhile, China buys up Australian infrastructure, expands its influence through proxies, and prepares for an increasingly unstable world. All while Western leaders are distracted, scolding their own citizens instead of addressing real threats.

A Broader Warning: The West Is Losing Its Confidence

In the end, the interview is more than a critique — it’s a diagnosis. The West is suffering from a crisis of confidence.
Our media lies to us.
Our leaders refuse to defend our values.
Our institutions are paralysed by fear of being called names.
And our borders are open to the very ideologies that despise the freedoms we take for granted.

Molan’s message is simple: if we want our civilization to survive, we have to fight for it. That means honest media. Sensible immigration policies. Cultural self-respect. And leaders who are willing to tell the truth, not just the comforting lie.

For anyone concerned about the future of Australia — and the broader Western world — this interview is essential viewing.

Fenbendazole: The Quiet Cancer Breakthrough the Medical System Ignores

Every so often, a medical story emerges that should spark intense global interest — but instead slips into silence.

The recent case-series on fenbendazole, published in Cancer Reports (Karger), is precisely that kind of story.

Fenbendazole is a cheap, widely used anti-parasitic drug — primarily for animals — that has been around for decades. Yet in this published case-series, late-stage cancer patients who had exhausted all conventional options experienced remarkable improvements after beginning fenbendazole. Tumour markers dropped, scans improved, pain lessened, and survival extended well beyond what oncologists had anticipated.

These weren’t mild, ambiguous shifts.
These were significant clinical changes in people who were already written off by the system.

And still… almost no reaction from the medical establishment.

Dr John Campbell recently covered the paper, outlining the extraordinary nature of the findings. I also touched on this issue in my post “When Low-Cost Cures Are Left to Die.” But the more you look at this story, the more troubling it becomes — not because fenbendazole is guaranteed to work, but because of the institutional indifference to even finding out.

If Fenbendazole Were a $10,000 Pill, It Would Be a Global Headline

Let’s be honest:
The problem here isn’t the science — it’s the economics.

Fenbendazole is:

• off-patent
• cheap
• widely available
• not owned by any pharmaceutical giant
• impossible to turn into a blockbuster drug

In our current system, that is the kiss of death.

If a new biotech company had produced the same clinical outcomes with a $100,000-a-year therapy, it would already be hailed as a breakthrough. Trials would be green-lit overnight. Investors would be lining up. Oncologists would be fighting to participate.

Instead, because the drug costs a few dollars, nobody with institutional power seems interested.

This is not how genuine science works.
This is how profit-driven gatekeeping works.

The Data Doesn’t Claim Miracles — It Claims Promise

The Karger paper does not say fenbendazole is a cure for cancer.
It does not promise universal benefit.
It does not offer sweeping conclusions.

What it does provide is something incredibly valuable:

a series of late-stage cancer cases showing meaningful clinical improvement after starting a low-cost drug.

That alone should trigger:

• urgent clinical trials
• mechanistic studies
• replication attempts
• open scientific discussion

Instead, we get an eerie lack of curiosity.

And that’s the real scandal here.

Patients Deserve Answers — Not Silence

No one is saying fenbendazole is the answer.
But the idea that such striking results can be shrugged off because the drug isn’t profitable is morally indefensible.

A responsible medical system investigates promising leads — especially when they are safe, cheap and widely accessible.

But our system does the opposite:
It fast-tracks expensive treatments and quietly ignores low-cost ones.
It rewards profit, not potential.
It prioritises patents over patients.

And fenbendazole may now be the clearest example of that dysfunction.

Final Thought

If the medical community truly believes in evidence, then it must follow the evidence — even when the evidence points to a drug with no financial value. The fenbendazole case-series doesn’t prove a miracle cure, but it absolutely proves the need for serious, immediate investigation.

Science advances by curiosity.
Medicine advances by courage.
And right now, both seem to be in short supply.

Until we confront this uncomfortable reality, we will continue to miss — or ignore — low-cost breakthroughs hiding in plain sight.

Here is Dr Campbell's video covering these case studies.

The Great Renewable Lie: Bowen’s Favourite Line is a Lie

It is hard to know whether to laugh or despair when Australia’s Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen, alongside the PM Albanese and Treasurer Jim Chalmers, repeats the same tired mantra:

“Renewables are the lowest cost form of energy generation.”

This line has become the centrepiece of Labor’s energy strategy — a strategy currently producing the highest electricity prices in Australian history, and now helping push inflation back up to 3.8%, with a staggering 37% rise in electricity prices in just 12 months.

If renewables are “the cheapest,” someone forgot to tell reality.

And as Bjørn Lomborg explained in a devastating interview with Dave Rubin, Bowen’s claim is not just misleading — it is fundamentally dishonest. The trick lies in what they don’t say.

The Insidious Half-Truth

Lomborg puts it bluntly:
People say wind and solar are cheap — and technically that can be true when the sun shines and the wind blows. Under perfect conditions, the cost of generating electricity is low.

But reality is not perfect.
And outside those ideal conditions, Lomborg says, renewables instantly become “the most expensive power on the planet — because you simply can’t get it.”

This is the part Bowen never mentions.

Electricity is not optional. Hospitals, refrigeration, manufacturing, traffic lights, water pumping, telecommunications — the entire modern economy — need power 24 hours a day, not just when the weather cooperates.

So the real question isn’t:
“Is solar cheap at noon on a sunny day?”

It’s:
“What does it cost to run a whole society on energy that only shows up part-time?”

And here the renewable fairytale collapses.

The More Renewables You Have, the Higher Your Bills Go

Lomborg cites global data showing a simple, uncomfortable truth:
Countries with very little wind and solar have cheap electricity.
Countries with lots of wind and solar have expensive electricity.

He explains the pattern clearly:

“You have China and India down here… the US a little higher… the EU all the way up there. There are no countries that have lots of solar and wind and cheap power.”

None.

This is not a coincidence. It is the unavoidable economic reality of intermittent energy:
When sunshine and breezes become the backbone of your grid, reliability disappears and backup becomes the dominant cost.

Which brings us to the heart of the problem.

The Battery Fantasy

Bowen and Albanese constantly talk about “firmed renewables” — wind and solar allegedly backed up by batteries.

But here’s the truth they will never say aloud.

To run the United States on solar alone, you would need batteries capable of storing three months of electricity — enough to get through cloudy weather, seasonal variation and multi-day lulls. Right now, the US has ten minutes of national battery storage.

Lomborg calculates the cost of batteries to fill that gap:
Around one-third of the entire US GDP — every year — just to maintain them.
This does not include the cost of the solar panels themselves, or the grid infrastructure. Just the batteries.

Bowen’s “cheap renewables” claim falls apart on this point alone.

You can have cheap solar at lunchtime.
Or you can have electricity at night.
But you cannot have “cheap renewables 24/7” — not with today’s technology, and not with anything on the horizon.

Anyone who claims otherwise is either lying or dangerous.

Australia’s Crisis: The Results Are Already Here

Labor insists we must replace coal with wind and solar at breakneck speed.
The result?

• 37% increase in electricity costs in a year

• Industries shutting down because energy prices make them uncompetitive

• Predictable blackouts and emergency interventions

• Inflation rising again, driven partly by energy costs

• Households under financial stress while being told to “save the planet”

Meanwhile, Bowen looks straight at the camera and assures us:
“Renewables are the cheapest form of power.”

Only a politician could deliver a line so confidently while the evidence burns behind him.

What Bowen NEVER Tells You

1. Renewables are cheap only when they work.

2. They require massive backup — batteries, gas or coal — that doubles or triples system cost.

3. No country has ever run a reliable grid on wind and solar alone.

4. The more renewables a country installs, the higher electricity prices go.

5. Australia is repeating Europe’s mistakes — on purpose.

This is not “the lowest cost energy system.” 

It is the most expensive experiment ever attempted in Australian history.

What Australia Should Actually Do

Lomborg’s answer is simple and sane:

• Expand gas — cheap, abundant, low-emissions, reliable.

• Fast-track next-generation nuclear, as the advanced economies are doing.

• Keep some coal capacity until genuine alternatives exist.

• Invest modestly in R&D for future breakthroughs.

• Stop pretending batteries can replace baseload power.

Australia once had some of the cheapest electricity on earth.
Under Bowen and Albanese, we now have some of the fastest-rising prices in the developed world.
The cause is not mysterious.
It is not climate.
It is not Putin.
It is not the weather.

It is policy.

And the lie at the centre of that policy — that renewables are “the cheapest form of energy” — has now crippled our economy and hammered our cost of living.

The sooner we reject it, the sooner Australia can get back to being prosperous, competitive and sane.
