Back in 1851, the great Australian Gold Rush began. While the California Gold rush had begun some years before in 1848, the newly formed Colony of New South Wales had covered up the news of any gold find in Australia because it didn’t want the poor colonists to bugger off in search of wealth and abandon their work in the emerging townships and cities.
However, when the Colonial Government saw what potential wealth could be had from prospecting for gold, they decided that it was a pretty good idea to encourage the poor, down and out, hardworking folk to head off and seek their (and the Government’s ) fortune.
Not only did the Gold rush of 1851 change the perception of Australia as a Convict Colony, it also opened the floodgates to massive migration as people from around the world sailed to these shores to “ dig up a quid “.

When democRATs are voting for a senile sniffer or a commie comrade with a dicky ticker, a fake Indian or a miniature cash hound I guess it says a lot about the mentality of the average leftie.
Crazy commos with no heart, no heritage and no brain.
I mean, seriously, Sleepy Joe is so “ woke “ that he could fall asleep on the red button, trigger a missile attack and not wake up until he arrives at the Pearly gates and says to Saint Peter “ Did I miss something? “
It is reminiscent of the one and only episode of the Simpson’s I ever watched when Homer put a doughnut on top of a red button and set off a nuclear emergency.

I follow a great blog here in Australia, started by a colourful larrikin who was, in my opinion, the Crocodile Dundee of the Aussie cartoon world and the “ cut the bullshit and speak your mind brigade “ .
He passed away over a year ago, much to the regret of so many of us who have followed his incredible site over the years. Before his passing, he asked a mate to carry on and, on a handshake, his mate accepted the lofty and considerable honour and responsibility to forge on and do what he felt was right.
This, he has done, with great respect and a hell of a lot of hard work. He has maintained all of our old mate’s work and links to his old articles. He created an online archive of some of the most memorable words and images ever to come from one man’s lifetime of imagination, passion and wicked sense of humour.
But suddenly, the handshake isn't worth the paper it isn't written upon.

The leftie luvvies believe that we can prevent the bullshit “ Climate Catastrophe “ by handing out free everything to everyone and planting trees on agricultural land, becoming vegan, slaughtering all the cattle and sheep and putting hundreds of thousands out of work by closing down coal power.
Apparently, this will all be done by planting a particular kind of tree that grows money.
This new species of tree was invented in 1959 by Mr Bumbledrop in a make believe land called Topsy Turvy Land.
I know. I watched it as a child. Torchy, the Battery Boy, used his magic light and eventually finds a fruitful money tree to sort out things in Topsy Turvy Land.
We now have our own Torchy boys: Bernie Sanders, AOC, Jacinda Ardern, Adam Bandt and Jeremy Corbyn.
Come on, people, this is insanity. Our Australian Universities are paying Chinese students $1500 a pop to head to Cambodia, Thailand or elsewhere, get on a plane and avoid the lockdown for Corona Virus? Really? Truly? What the hell is wrong with them? Money means so much that they are prepared to pay people to potentially infect us?
I shake my head, feel like pounding my fists into a slab of concrete and wonder: how the hell did we get here?

Mum asked me to explain the grand Solar Minimum and how it affects or influences climate change “ Is this what all the fuss is about and why we have to listen to the leftie luvvies going on about the end of the world? “
Well, yes, actually, Redhead. . It is Because Climate Change is not caused by farting cows or cheap coal fired electricity. It is caused by a thing called the sun.

Anyone, like me, who watches every Rally and follows the great President Trump will know that there has been much speculation as to why he has been referring to ‘ Gone with the Wind “ of late. Is it simply because it was from an era when Hollywood was not Hollyweird or is there something more to this?
With President Trump, one never knows…. So let’s have a look at “ Gone with the Wind “ and see what we can come up with.

The blatant racism against people with freckles and pale skin is becoming tiresome. People who are blondes, gingers and people who burn easily in the sun are now “ toxic invaders” and being told that we deserve to die because our skin is the wrong colour or our eyes too blue or green. What is tragic is that most of those who are yelling “ burn, burn them all! “ are themselves fair skinned, freckled or fair game to the very hatred that they promote.
The insanity of the Judas Goat is everywhere around us. People who yell out and condemn their own racial heritage to promote their own ethnic and biological downfall defies logic.
" Australian politics have become an exercise in deceptive behaviour by our elected representatives who speak nonsense about settled science and must accept it, express annoyance that GMH has decided to leave completely and ignore all the political decisions that caused it, beginning with the 1975 UN Lima Agreement, signed the Paris Agreement and an emissions (CO2) reduction target but many are now pushing for zero by 2050 which was not in the Paris Agreement that is still in place, etc. "
