Australia, like America, is a large country.
But, unlike America, we have vast areas of our nation that are largely uninhabited or uninhabitable. Anyone who has driven into the Outback knows that it is a long way between watering holes. And petrol stations. And charging stations. In fact, most Roadhouses use diesel electricity generators for their power source, so no advantage to EV emissions situation out there.

They say that things aren't what they used to be. One area where that is particularly true is children. As a lad of a mere 89 years young, I look back on my own childhood and think that I was fairly spirited and independent, in thought and in action. But I am a pussycat in comparison to one young Australian boy named Lennie. Yes, I remember when kids were tough. But this boy makes me humble.

George Orwell said “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
History should be written objectively as it occurred, and time alone should be the judge, not contemporary writers.
Back in 2017, President Trump said
“Bringing back the gold standard would be very hard to do—but boy, would it be wonderful. We’d have a standard on which to base our money.”
No wonder the left - and China - wanted to see him gone. By any means possible. If Trump had been able to bring back the Gold Standard, things would be very different for China.
What was accomplished in 2020 other than the abolition of Americans’ constitutional rights? Not much, according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recently took some time to talk to Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, about the wreckage that has been left behind due to the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) plandemic.
Rather than help “save lives” as they claimed to do, eugenicists Bill Gates and Tony Fauci actually launched a global genocide that is still in motion. It started with lockdowns and business closures and has since progressed to mass “vaccination,” the full impact of which still remains to be seen.
General Sir John Monash is one of the truly great Australians. He was an Australian military and civilian leader as well as a great contributor to Australian life. His achievements are outstanding. In my opinion, Monash was not just our most outstanding military leader but our most outstanding citizen of all time.
Solar power fails every day from sunset to sunrise as well as during rain, hail, snow or dust storms. No matter how much land we smother in subsidised solar panels, they will still fail.
There seems to be a growing feeling of helplessness around the world. How can we possibly fight back against the relentless attack on our freedoms, our lives and our values?
Our votes seem worthless - after all, after what happened in America ( and, I suspect, elsewhere, around the world ) with elections in 2020, it is not unreasonable to feel that all is lost.
Knowing that Dominion voting machines were used in Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and New Zealand should ring alarm bells as to the accuracy of those elections.
When our votes mean nothing and our voices are being suppressed, how do we possibly fight back?
Bodies may age. Joints may become troublesome. But the vast majority of OAPs ( Old Aged Pensioners ) have a tendency to do something rather remarkable: what our bodies cannot do, our brains can do better.
When I tell people I’m a beek, inevitably the first thing they say is, “Yes, we need to save the bees! They’re very important!”. While totally true, it is a noble statement that I cannot claim. I was dragged into beekeeping, kicking and screaming… well almost.
It is interesting to think about the various factors which influenced us as children … our first days at school, our early reading matter, so many new experiences which shaped our development. Depending on our present age, the answers to these questions will vary greatly.
From Cane Fields to Comic books and beyond, I am proud to have lived my life surrounded by heroes.
No matter where we come from, we have wonder in our eyes and joy in our hearts and that wonder and joy must be cherished and protected. Even if it means learning by rote and worshipping comic book heroes.
