1. Have you noticed how Australian media networks are cooking up their own news. This is seen in Ben Roberts Smith’s network funded defamation battles that inadvertently indicated guilt and Bruce Lehrmann’s endless network funded litigation. Now the heroic Liam Mendes (who has "form" for ambushing patricians) from Murdoch’s Australian has been knocked over by Channel Nine Chairman Peter Costello's "charm".
2. 25 cruise ships are due to visit Eden NSW next season with passengers
walking, bussing, googling and goggling at the wonders of Sapphire culture. Why
do they do it? Is it Eden’s midwinter hula dancers in black face rowing their canoes up to Captain Cook's descendant's' big ships? Is it the
Garden of Eden and other Biblical selfies?
3. Are tourists here for stupefied viewing of the next round of Brown
Mountain's roadworks? These miracles begin 17 June through to mid August boasting
a $1.9million budget, 1100 linear metres of soil nails; and 180 square
metres of shotcrete. Are tourists being spoilt with too many local wonders?
4. Covid experts see this
plague peaking in mid Winter is due to a drop in vaccinations and a blasé public.
The impact of a “big wave” of Covid-19 infections is being made worse
by a rise in influenza, respiratory illnesses, whooping cough and pneumonia.
Are we doomed?
5.Are you across Albo’s vs the Dutzi’s (Dutton's) climate wars?
Does Australia’s target set in the Paris December 2015 agreement of 43% of greenhouse
gas emissions less than the 2005 levels by 2030 make perfect sense? Australia’s net
greenhouse gas emissions in June 2005 were 559 million
tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2-e). By March 2023, 7 years 10
months after the Paris agreement, emissions were 466 Mt CO2-e ie. 24.4% below
2005 levels. I reckon Australia will meet its Paris targets by 2030, but I think
I missed something.
Is (my precious!) Golum P. Dutton's - claim nuclear energy is a strait forward benefit for Australia somewhat simplistic?
6. Australia's best kept secret. Albo's bold impartial, National Anti-Corruption Commission has closed sessions largely making it toothless. eg.
It decided not to question those senior officials most responsible for the deadly - Robodebt scheme and it also kept their identities secret. Is Albo's efforts not to offend any monied interest group proving too contradictory?
7. Is Dutton warmly
welcoming main rival Frydenberg back to the Libs or is he joshing?
8. Ex student Beatrice Tucker who said
on ABC radio "Hamas deserves our unconditional support" has been
expelled from ANU. Problem being Hamas is a terrorist organisation under
Australian law (this type of stuff normally being classified). Separately are pro-Palestine protesters in Melbourne, Australia, who express their love of Peace
by assaulting office workers, smashing consulate windows and splashing red paint on Labor Party electorate office windows unduly favouring Labor?
9. A substance naturally occurring in
pomegranates can improve memory and the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, a new
study concluded. Forgetfulness, difficulty finding words, and confusion about
time and place are all common symptoms impacting the faculty of the University
of Copenhagen. Professor Neils Bohr Jr found urolithin A, a naturally occurring
substance in pomegranates, can boost language skills in mice.
