The taxpayer-funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the Australian equivalent of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), has a TV program called Q&A (touted as "adventures in in democracy": ) in which the studio audience or viewers submit questions to a mostly right wing panel of half a dozen MPs, commentators or other public figures.
In my view, the Australian ABC in general (and like the BBC and other Mainstream Media organizations in the other "2-party" Western (…)

Why anti-racism, pro-Biosphere, pro-Humanity Australians must vote Number 1 Green and Put Labor Last
16 April 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsIn Australia’s compulsory preferential voting system decent Australians are compelled to vote number 1 for the Greens and to Put Labor Last, the key arguments being that (1) the correct strategy is to punish the incompetent incumbent that has utterly failed to deliver on man-made climate change and (2) it is pointless voting for a Labor Party that has comprehensively betrayed its own supporters as well as their children, grandchildren, Humanity and the Biosphere through its pro-coal, (…)

Media lying by omission: holocaust ignoring and genocide ignoring by taxpayer-funded Australian ABC
9 April 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
Mainstream media lying by omission or commission is a major reality throughout the World. The taxpayer-funded Australia Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is the Australian equivalent of the taxpayer-funded British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and, like the BBC, is involved in egregious ignoring of the horrendous carnage associated with US Alliance violence in a swathe of countries from Occupied Somalia, through Occupied Palestine, Occupied Syria, Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan to US (…)

Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) is NOT "clean energy": Oz Labor contrary claims mean Voters must Put Labor Last
5 April 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
Combustion of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) yields the Humanity- and Biosphere-threatening greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2) and accordingly LNG is not “clean energy” as incorrectly asserted by corporations and politicians promoting the use of this dirty, CO2-polluting fossil fuel.
Rational risk management (that, for example, has made passenger aviation extremely safe) successively involves (a) accurate data, (b) scientific analysis (this involving critical testing of potentially (…) -
2010 Elections in pro-war UK and Apartheid Australia: Put Labour Last in UK, Put Labor Last in Australia
27 March 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
1 comment2010 is an Election Year in both the UK and Australia and hence a crucial year for both the British Labour Party Government of the UK and the Australian Labor Party Federal Government of Australia (note the difference in spelling: “Labour” by the British and “Labor” by the Australians).
The big question for decent, anti-racist, anti-war folk in both the UK and Australian Murdochracies (the Murdoch Empire is the ultimate king-maker in these electoral charades) is whether they should (…) -
Politically correct racism (PC racism) - Australia ignores huge Aboriginal & Muslim excess deaths
3 March 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
Politically correct racist (PC racist) White Australia is treating its domestic Aboriginal (Indigenous) subjects and its overseas Muslim subjects (in Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan) like animals. White Australians vigorously object to being labelled as “racist” but are involved in the racist subjugation of other people and resolutely ignores the horrendous human cost of such involvements, notably the continuing dispossession and maltreatment of Aboriginal Australians and (…)

"LNG = clean energy" Greenhouse Gas Untruth makes the Australian Apartheid Labor Party Unfit to Govern
7 February 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
The extreme right wing, pro-war, pro-coal, human rights-abusing, spin-driven Australian Labor Government has repeatedly declared that it is instituting an “education revolution”.
However a key element of the teaching and learning process called “education” is correct information (I must note here that this is my 5th decade of teaching science students at a leading Australian university and that, unlike most of my colleagues, I have a postgraduate qualification in teaching in Higher (…) -

3 February 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
6 commentsThe World is facing what an overwhelming international scientific consensus says is a worsening Climate Crisis, Climate Emergency and Sustainability Emergency from man-made global warming (anthropogenic global warming, AGW). However the taxpayer-funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has given extraordinary coverage to the views of a visiting UK climate change denialist Mr Christopher Walter Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley. The following letter about politician and (…)

Proposed draconian punishment for Australian anti-coal demonstrators invading power plants
28 January 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
The State of Victoria, Australia, is the worst carbon polluting state in the worst carbon polluting country in the World. Most of Victoria’s electricity comes from the burning of brown coal at huge power stations like Loy Yang and Hazelwood in the eastern Victorian region called Gippsland.
Unfortunately Victoria is ruled by a right wing, pro-coal Labor Government that is busy building superhighways, fossil fuel-burning power stations and a huge desalination plant. The extreme right wing, (…) -
Letter to Australia re Australian, US, UK & NATO war crimes, Muslim Holocaust & Climate Genocide
18 January 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
The Letter reproduced below has been sent to Australian Media and MPs re Australian and various US Alliance involvements in ongoing genocidal atrocities against Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghans, Muslims, Australian Aboriginals, and against the Developing World in general through the worsening Biofuel Genocide and Climate Genocide that are killing millions.
However the silence is deafening.
Apartheid Australia has recently enacted race-based laws specifically violating the human rights of (…)
