PRIME Minister Scott Morrison and angry trade unions have simultaneously moved to expose Anthony Albanese’s climate double-talk, as a senior MP threatens to quit the green-obsessed ALP.

MEN in the Mirror, Sky News Australia’s excellent documentary by Chris Kenny on the awful similarities between those two prime ministerial disasters, Rudd and Turnbull, should be followed by one on the media’s role supporting their ascension and, in particular, the commentariat’s role in downing John Howard and Tony Abbott.

THE drums of war are indeed beating. And it may well be that Australia will again be sending her warriors overseas.

After all, is it still not the aim of the army to kill the enemy, and to accept for themselves, as Pericles said “joyfully”, the risk of death?
CLIMATE alarmism is nothing more than an “imagined” threat created by far Left activists to wrestle control of Australia’s political and economic direction.
