NSW Environment Minister Matt Kean is on a collision course with the State’s powerful Parliamentary Development Committee which has warned renewable energy is incapable of meeting growth demands. Mr Kean, who hopes to reduce State carbon emissions by 35 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2050, is under pressure to back away from his pet project by the cross-Party committee findings.
NSW National MPs are preparing to walk away from an increasingly radical Berejiklian government as it continues to unleash over-the-top environmental policies onto the State. The latest Greens-inspired policy, called the Koala Habitat Protection State Environmental Planning Policy, has up to six National MPs ready to quit the Coalition and sit on the cross benches.
VICTORIA Premier Dan has built the foundations for dictatorship and destroyed the economy in one fell swoop. As Victoria accounts for 20 per cent of our economy, the negative repercussions of this continued shut down will reverberate across the whole of Australia, not only Victoria.
PRO-choice Queensland Premier Annastacia Palasczcuk refused all choice for a young northern NSW couple – with her border closure denying life-saving care for their unborn twins. One of the twins, a girl, died after the couple were diverted to a Sydney hospital instead of nearby Brisbane Mater Hospital.
VICTORIA Labor Premier Daniel Andrews has been hammered in a new opinion poll with his handling of COVID-19 being judged the worst in the nation – by far. Of five mainland States, Victoria’s response to the Wuhan pandemic has been rated the worst with daylight to spare.
WHEN a senior government minister publicly complains about his own government’s inaction on a life or death issue, it’s time to hit the public panic button. After last January’s devastating bushfires claimed 25 lives and countless hectares of land across NSW, we now learn that the very politicians gifted high-powers to prevent a repeat are complaining that they’ve not done enough.
TOO many politicians seemingly embrace the moral low ground with almost every ethical decision laid before them. Whether its sexualising pre-teens in the classroom, giving the nod to late term abortions, watering down bestiality laws or allowing HIV-infected people to “hide” their condition from bed partners – they almost always manage to defile themselves.
CATHOLIC schools teaching atheism and queer gender theory are in “dangerous territory” and risk losing public funding according to a senior NSW MP. The Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta this week announced atheism and LGBTQ identity theory were to be included in its 2021 religious curriculum.
AUSTRALIANS are twice as concerned about the health of the nation’s economy as they are for their own well-being as the Coronavirus pandemic picks up a new head of steam.
With an uncontrolled second wave in Victoria and isolated outbreaks in NSW and Queensland, all Australians whether male or female, young or old have ranked the economic impact as their primary concern, by far.
OUR founding fathers when debating the union of the separate colonies on the great southern continent into one country, had one major concern.
That concern dominated discussions and constitutional debates like no other. The concern was this: how to ensure that the newly formed central government did not overwhelm the autonomy of the States to govern citizens within their own borders.
