Read the latest load of hot air on the urban academics saving threatened species by purchasing ‘flogged out Simpson desert cattle stations’; if you can concentrate on the words above the racket the chorus of angels is making: Old cattle stations now wildlife haven. It’s yet another self-congratulatory article spouting on about how well the environment is […]

Amazing Race Australia 2011 & 2012
August 2nd, 2011Much as they irritated me at times (deliberately setting out to use good looks [short shorts etc] to get ahead on so many occasions); on merit (tenacity, ability etc), the girls (Sam and Renae) should have won ‘Amazing Race Australia’ ahead of the blokes; especially considering the much higher number of tasks/challenges that favoured blokes […]

For many years I’ve read and listened to the commonsense advice handed out by Dr James Wright. Then this ‘gem’ of […]

Nuclear waste dump in ‘the middle of nowhere’ – Tennant Creek
July 22nd, 2011If the vitriolic anti-bush comments in relation to the live export ban didn’t convince rural Australians that there is a sizeable slab of urban Australia who despise them (though urban residents rely on rural residents for food & export income), then the recent online forum comments regarding the planned nuclear waste dump near Tennant Creek, surely will. Discussions on […]
