Off the Planet

Janet Albrechtsen uncovers shocking evidence that our leaders are about to sign us up to a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT:

Of course, there is no final treaty as yet. That is what they are hoping to finalise in Copenhagen. But there are 181 pages that make up the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change dated September 15, [...]

What is she talking about?

Janet Albrechtsen is appalled at the ALP’s stifling of debate:
The Treasurer says the unanimous decision of the G20 finance ministers in London is to continue the stimulus. In other words, the debate is over. The government has spoken.
It is a curious and chilling notion that a debate, any debate, can be over. But this seems [...]

Hicks and Hu

Janet Albrechtsen has a lame go today at Get Up, Liberty Victoria and Amnesty International for not having done enough about China’s treatment of Rio Tinto executive Stern Hu. She fatuously contrasts the campaigns these organisations ran attempting to persuade the Australian Government to stop supporting the unjust detention of David Hicks – during the [...]

The Howard legacy

Janet Albrechtsen says the Liberals need to talk about the glory days. The supporting evidence for her argument? Extensive quotes from John Howard and Alexander Downer. Could it be that they have a vested interest in seeing their legacy defended?
But my favourite part of Janet’s column is this:
Howard chooses his words carefully, understanding that his [...]

Bolt’s bulltish meter

Following on from what may grow into a thrilling new series, here are two things I’ve learned from Andrew Bolt this morning:

Linking to an old video of Professor Julius Sumner Miller teaching established principles of physics bolsters your scientific credentials for future debates when you’re contradicting scientific predictions – hey, I may disagree that [...]

The best smear they could muster

Janet Albrechtsen today attacks the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor as the next Justice of the US Supreme Court – a “cautionary tale”, she describes it. Why?
Obama made so much of her impeccable cultural credentials – she is the first Hispanic woman to be nominated to the nation’s highest court – and her brilliant life experiences [...]

Janet: suck it, lefties – we’re getting what we wanted anyway

Janet Albrechtsen today exults in the ways in which Barack Obama has disappointed “the Left” who voted for him. Ha ha, she writes, he’s “talking like a Bushie” and “backpedalling” from the things he led you to expect of him. Although other conservatives keep referring to him as “a dangerous Socialist”, Janet knows that he [...]

Nightmare for Janet

Janet Albrechtsen is “alarmed” by a new “nightmare for business” – the announcement of draft legislation that she fears “will, at a stroke of the legislative pen, render the vast majority of Australian contracts uncertain”.
Her readers point out to her that similar legislation has existed in various Australian jurisictions for years without civilisation collapsing, that [...]

Janet: dictatorship of the proletariat takes over NSW

Apparently the NSW Government has decided not to go ahead with privatising one of the state’s prisons, something which is clearly good and wonderful and everyone in the community desperately wishes it would do. We demand that the state government delegate responsibility for prisoners’ lives to some faceless corporation that’s even harder to hold to [...]

Political deception already penalised

I started reading Janet Albrechtson’s latest article and thought I knew exactly where it was going.
THE James Hardie saga continued last week with the public shaming of former chairwoman Meredith Hellicar, six other non-executive directors and three senior executives of Hardie. When NSW Supreme Court judge Ian Gzell found them guilty of breaching their duties [...]
