Dan Andrews is the Premier of Victoria, Australia. This man is as incapable of running a state as I am. It seems the only thing he can do is make a mess of everything he touches. He is the poster child of the CCP!

Here I go again! The Australian state of New South Wales Department of Education has gone completely MAD! If it wasn’t for a few politicians that are still sane most of us wouldn’t know what madness is taking place with government approval. ‘Here’s what happened: The head of NSW Education Dept Mark Scott sent out email endorsing Wear It Purple Day, urging all teachers to get involved. Then Dept sent out dozens of guides for anti-science gender fluidity teaching, from USA, Victoria + the Safe Schools materials. The guides included penis tucking and bra padding advice for boys wanting to go female, plus groups like Minus18 (advocates for ‘breast binding’ and cross dressing) and GLSEN (‘fisting’, telling 12YOs how to put fist up backsides).This is ‘back to basics’ under Gladys!!Then NSW Teachers Federation wrote to its members distributing other anti-science gender fluidity guides to use on kindy kids +. It said, “For the first time, the Department of Education has acknowledged and is encouraging teachers to be involved in Wear It Purple Day. NSW Govt supposedly abolished Safe Schools in 2017 but Education Dept staff kept working on compiling a full library of this rubbish from around the world. Then under Mark Scott’s endorsement they sent it to teachers behind Internet wall. The public was not supposed to find out. Two things need to happen today: 1. Mark Scott has to be sacked, as responsibility for pushing dangerous gender fluidity teaching on children as young as 5YO rests with him. 2. Establish independent audit of Education Dept and NESA to clear this rubbish out, once and for all.’ https://www.facebook.com/MarkLathamsOutsiders/posts/4335743559800283
Here is real education; Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
The West has gone mad in that it seems those in charge of the educational system have the desire too see how far in the gutter they can take the educational system and the student. The UK is the hope and salvation for the Australian educational system when it comes to LGBTQI depravity according to https://theconversation.com/relationships-and-sex-education-is-now-mandatory-in-english-schools-australia-should-do-the-same-144348?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20September%209%202020%20-%201725916676&utm_content=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20September%209%202020%20-%201725916676+CID_d4cb8c2d3f7a91db3751ad73c950bddb&utm_source=campaign_monitor&utm_term=Relationships%20and%20sex%20education%20is%20now%20mandatory%20in%20English%20schools%20%20Australia%20should%20do%20the%20same.
Yep, more money thrown into a system already deplete of any intellectual value only to teach more abnormal sexual proclivities.
‘This week, students across England are heading back to school in circumstances none of us could have predicted a year ago. The coronavirus pandemic has upended nearly every aspect of our lives and, while the circumstances surrounding the return to school this year are challenging, it doesn’t mean there’s no room for hope that a better future is on its way.
For all of us here at Stonewall, the return to school this year is very personal. It marks the end of our decades-long campaign to get an inclusive education system in England. We were founded to fight for this and now, it’s becoming a reality.
New regulations for teaching relationships and sex education in English schools are now coming into force and schools have until next Summer to put this into practice. It’s hard to put into words just how momentous and life-changing this will be. Generations of young people will be attending schools that not only accept LGBT people and same-sex relationships, but also celebrate and offer support on the issues that young LGBT people face.
The guidance means that all secondary schools will teach about sexual orientation and gender identity, and all primary schools will teach about different families, with schools being “enabled and encouraged” by the Government to include LGBT families in this teaching. This is about showing kids that families can have two mums, two dads or a trans parent. Or to put it another way: different families, same love.’ https://inews.co.uk/opinion/lgbt-school-curriculum-sex-education-headteachers-supported-614606

When the Leftist Loony crowd think they are being silenced then there is an uproar. The following two articles are opposites. The first article is from a Leftist organization called The Conversation. The first article speaks on how they believe the scientists are being silenced. The second article is explaining how a scientist was discharged from his university because he dare speak out about bad science.
‘Ecologists and conservation experts in government, industry and universities are routinely constrained in communicating scientific evidence on threatened species, mining, logging and other threats to the environment, our new research has found.
Our study, just published, shows how important scientific information about environmental threats often does not reach the public or decision-makers, including government ministers.
In some cases, scientists self-censor information for fear of damaging their careers, losing funding or being misrepresented in the media. In others, senior managers or ministers’ officers prevented researchers from speaking truthfully on scientific matters.
This information blackout, termed “science suppression”, can hide environmentally damaging practices and policies from public scrutiny. The practice is detrimental to both nature and democracy.’https://theconversation.com/research-reveals-shocking-detail-on-how-australias-environmental-scientists-are-being-silenced-140026?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20September%209%202020%20-%201725916676&utm_content=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20September%209%202020%20-%201725916676+CID_d4cb8c2d3f7a91db3751ad73c950bddb&utm_source=campaign_monitor&utm_term=Research%20reveals%20shocking%20detail%20on%20how%20Australias%20environmental%20scientists%20are%20being%20silenced

The Australian state of New South Wales is the home of Sydney, Australia. The present state government is supposedly a conservative one but the facts seem to prove otherwise. This government has swallowed the Climate Scam poison hook line and sinker! This government is pouring millions into non-reliable renewables such as solar and wind. Nuclear is completely off the table if the Premier has anything to do with it. HOWEVER, when one thought Victoria was the most left leaning state there was then New South sales steps up for the trophy. The NSW Treasury has forgotten what it is supposed to be about and has taken on the role of being ‘diverse’.

This NSW government has gone mad and wild. Where are those who are not following the leftist loony path to destruction?
I send these to my Federal and state member here in Australia trusting they will read them and perhaps change their mind of these tax dollar wasting renewables. These members of Federal and state Parliament claim the title ‘conservative’ but have swallowed the Climate Scam poisonous lie along with most of their collogues. ‘In a post Covid world, anyone railing about carbon dioxide gas and not promoting nuclear power sounds positively unhinged.
If CO2 really was about to destroy the planet, Extinction Rebellion, Greta and her worshippers would be talking about switching to nuclear power like their lives depended on it.
Instead, for reasons that escape the logical and rational, we’re told that the only way forward is backwards: ie a life dependent upon the time of day and the weather.
Climate alarmists railing about carbon dioxide gas and not talking about nuclear power generation, can’t be taken seriously. Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source that does not emit carbon dioxide gas during the process.
Whatever your views on climate change, the idea that trying to run modern, civil societies on sunshine and breezes might somehow prevent it is, of course, a complete nonsense.

Nuclear to Replace Wind and Solar
American Thinker
Norman Rogers
13 August 2020
In the words of James Hansen, the scientist most responsible for promoting global warming, wind and solar are “grotesque” solutions for reducing CO2 emissions. Michael Shellenberger, a prominent activist, has the same opinion. Hansen and Shellenberger, as well as many other global warming activists, have come to the conclusion that nuclear energy is the only viable method of reducing CO2 emissions from the generation of electricity.
Nuclear reactors don’t emit CO2. Coal and natural gas do. Hydroelectric electricity does not emit CO2 either, but opportunities for expansion are limited. In the United States most of the good sites have already been developed.
Wind and solar are grotesque because there are many problems. Promoters of wind and solar simply lie about the problems. Reducing emissions of CO2 by one metric tonne, 1000 kilograms or 2204 pounds, is called a carbon offset. Carbon offsets are bought and sold, usually for less than $10 each.
If you build wind or solar plants to displace electricity from natural gas or coal plants, you will generate carbon offsets. Each carbon offset generated will cost about $60 if electricity from a coal plant is displaced. If electricity from a natural gas plant is displaced the cost per carbon offset will be about $160. Wind and solar are expensive methods of generating carbon offsets.
Wind and solar are not remotely competitive with coal or natural gas for generating electricity. The promoters of wind and solar lie about this constantly, claiming that they are close to competitive. The lies have two major components. They ignore or misrepresent the massive subsidies that wind and solar get, amounting to 75% of the cost. Then they compare the subsidized cost of wind or solar with the total cost of gas or coal. But wind or solar can’t replace existing fossil fuel infrastructure because they are erratic sources of electricity.
The existing infrastructure has to be retained when you add wind or solar, because sometimes the wind doesn’t blow or the sun doesn’t shine. The only fair comparison to the compare to total cost of wind or solar per kilowatt hour (kWh) with the marginal cost of gas or coal electricity. That marginal cost is essentially the cost of the fuel.
The only economic benefit of wind or solar is reducing fuel consumption in existing fossil fuel plants. It is hard to build wind or solar installations that generate electricity for less than 8-cents per kWh, but the cost of the fuel, for either gas or coal, is about 2-cents per kWh. Wind and solar cost four times too much to be competitive.
Wind and solar run into difficulty if they are the source of more than about 25% of the electricity in a grid. Getting to 50% generally involves adding expensive batteries, further destroying the economics and the usefulness for CO2 reduction.
The only justification for wind and solar is the reduction of CO2 emissions, but wind and soar are limited and costly for this purpose. CO2-free nuclear energy can be both economical and practical. That, clearly is the reason why prominent global warming activists are advocating nuclear, rather than wind and solar to alleviate the supposed global warming crisis.
Neither nuclear nor coal is currently cost competitive with natural gas. It’s not that nuclear or coal are so expensive as it is that natural gas, thanks to fracking, is incredibly cheap. Gas that cost more than $10 per MMBtu (million British thermal units) a decade ago, now costs less than $2. Gas-generating plants are very cheap to build and incredibly efficient. A gas plant using a combination of a gas turbine and a steam turbine can turn 65% of the energy in the gas into electricity. By contrast a coal plant struggles to reach 40%.
Both coal and nuclear are handicapped by well-organized and unprincipled political opposition from the Sierra Club and similar organizations. The Sierra Club hates natural gas too, but most of their efforts go into scaring people with the imaginary danger of coal. The Sierra Club doesn’t need to expend much effort scaring people with nuclear because the nuclear industry has already been destroyed in the U.S. thanks to previous efforts of the environmental movement.
Coal and nuclear have one very important advantage over gas. They have fuel on site to continue operating if fuel deliveries are interrupted. For coal this is around 30 days, for nuclear more than a year. Some gas plants can temporarily use oil from local tanks, but in most cases that won’t last long. Gas deliveries can be interrupted by pipeline failure or sabotage. The pumping stations on natural gas pipelines are increasingly powered by electricity, rather than gas, creating a circular firing squad effect.
Nuclear electricity is a young industry with a big future. That future is materializing in Asia given the successful propaganda campaign to make people afraid of nuclear in the U.S. and in much of Europe. Nuclear fuel is extremely cheap, around four times cheaper than gas or coal.
Nuclear reactors don’t have smokestacks and they don’t emit CO2. New designs will dramatically lower costs, increase safety and effectively remove most of the objections to nuclear. It is an incredible contradiction that most environmental organizations advocate wind and solar and demonize nuclear. In the future nuclear may be cost competitive with natural gas.
It is an intellectual and economic failure that the 30 U.S. states with policies designed to reduce CO2 emissions, called renewable portfolio standards, mostly explicitly exclude nuclear power as part of the plan. Instead they effectively mandate wind and solar. There are signs of reform as some states have provided support to prevent nuclear power stations from being closed.
The global warming hysteria movement is surely one of the most successful junk science campaigns ever launched. Predicting a catastrophe is a great way for a science establishment to gain fame and money. The many responsible scientists that object are attacked, if not fired. Money trumps ethics every time. The environmental movement needs looming catastrophes too, so they act as PR men for the science establishment.
The tragedy is that our legislators swallow these lies and waste billions on boondoggles like wind and solar. It is ironic that increasing the CO2 in the atmosphere has a bountiful effect on plant growth, greening the Earth and increasing agricultural production. Rather than a threat, CO2 is a boon.
If you still believe in the global warming hysteria movement, you should face reality and dump wind and solar for nuclear. Wind and solar are not appropriate for the problem they are assigned to solve. Nuclear is.’https://stopthesethings.com/2020/09/07/rank-hypocrisy-climate-warriors-not-promoting-nuclear-power-simply-cant-be-serious/

Many, many tax paying business’ in Australia have been put into either hibernation or completely out of business during this China virus so-called pandemic. In spite of that the New South Wales government is continuing their massive expenditure on useless renewable energy.
The government takes the tax dollars so it can create programs that DO NOT work so they can then give the tax payer relief with the tax payer’s own money! Don’t believe me? Here, ‘The NSW Government is providing energy bill relief for households and businesses through programs to promote energy efficiency.
We are helping improve energy efficiency through:
- $49.9 million for energy saving upgrades for social housing clients and discounts to replace inefficient fridges and TVs for concession card holders
- $29.9 million for discounts on high efficiency fixed appliances
- $22.5 million for discounts for small businesses to upgrade to energy saving equipment
- $7.8 million for training for small businesses to save energy and money
- $24.5 million for more efficient homes for low income tenants
- $35 million for energy savings for energy intensive manufacturers
- $12.5 million for more efficient street lighting
- $10.2 million to support new energy efficiency standards for appliances, buildings and infrastructure.
Programs and support can be accessed at the Energy saver website.
Delivering reliable, clean and affordable energy
The NSW Government is providing funding for programs that will help households, businesses and communities benefit from clean energy as NSW transitions to a modern and secure energy system.
We are helping to promote reliable, clean and affordable energy supply through:
- $50 million for smart energy for homes and businesses
- $20 million for smart energy storage for key government buildings
- $55 million for an emerging generation fund
- $30 million for regional community energy projects
- $15 million for rooftop solar systems for eligible low-income households

Where’s ALL this money coming from for the New South Wales government to help improve our energy efficiency? Not out of the air! This is government gone WILD! Ronald Reagan was so correct when he said ‘government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem’!
Job 36:22
“Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?”
While the development of a new science is helping mankind, it says something that many scientists did not intend to say. The science is called biomimetics. As the name suggests, biomimetics is based on the idea that if we copy designs found in nature, we can often improve our own technology.
For example, a Japanese company developed special swimsuit material for the Beijing Olympics that provides less resistance in the water. Taking a cue from the swift marlin, the company developed material with imbedded polymers so that it mimics the marlin’s skin’s absorption of water. Schools of fish swim in a beautiful unison ballet without ever running into each other. Nissan Motor Company is studying fish schools to discover what it might do to build cars with better anti-collision equipment. Solar cells and light-emitting diodes certainly could be more efficient. Engineers learned that moths see so well in the dark because their eyes have special convex-concave design. That design means that the moth’s eye surface reflects two to three-tenths of a percent of the light that hits it. Standard plastic film reflects four to five percent of the light hitting it, making the moth’s eye much less reflective.
Whether biomimetics intends it or not, in looking to the creation to improve our designs, it recognizes the Creator as the Source of all knowledge.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/new-science-based-on-an-old-truth-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=new-science-based-on-an-old-truth-2&mc_cid=211683c94a&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c
Politicians will have a LOT to answer for in ten years time when it comes to daily energy via the electric grid. Of course by then they will be in retirement and still living off the tax dollar. However, I digress, here in Australia the two major political parties MUST be in bed with someone who has shares in wind turbines and solar panels. The Federal and state governments are pouring billions into these holes.

If you’re a wage slave at a left-wing newspaper (BIRM) you probably, literally, can’t afford to rock the boat, so I dips me lid to Tony Raggatt at the Townsville Bulletin. Well done, that man.
From today’s print edition…
POWER CUT SYSTEM FAULT TONY RAGGATT Ergon denies load shedding
A SYSTEM fault led to a lowcost electricity tariff supplying power throughout regional Queensland being inadvertently switched off, distributor and retailer Ergon Energy says.
Ergon was commenting after consumers raised concern about the outage, which lasted for about eight hours on Sunday.
The residential Tariff 33 is an interruptible supply used by consumers to cut the cost of their electricity bills but which is normally available for a minimum of 18 hours each day.
It is commonly used for pool pumps, hot water systems and air conditioners.
On Sunday, consumers complained in Facebook posts about not being able to use their air conditioners at a time when the air was thick with smoke from fires.
Some also questioned whether authorities were load shedding – cutting power to protect system security or mitigate damage to infrastructure.
But a spokeswoman for Ergon said the cutting of Tariff 33 was a system fault and not load shedding.
“For customers connected to Tariff 33 in regional Queensland, a system fault led to the tariff being inadvertently switched off for a number of hours,” an Ergon spokeswoman said.
“Tariff 33 channels were progressively restored throughout the day, with all channels returned to normal by 3.30pm.”
The spokeswoman said technical experts were investigating the cause of the fault, which had not occurred before.
Consumers on Facebook said the failure seemed odd at a time when demand on the system was low.
An independent candidate for the state seat of Hill, Tolga resident Peter Campion, said generation records showed the outputs of the Mount Emerald wind farm and the Sun Metals solar farm in North Queensland had been curtailed this month well below capacity.
Mr Campion said the reason for this was that one of the units of Rockhampton’s Stanwell coal-fired power station was offline and the level of intermittent power needed to be cut to maintain system stability.
A spokeswoman for regulator the Australian Energy Market Operator confirmed the reliance on coal-fired power but not Stanwell’s role.
“In order for inverter-based generation to be able to generate at full capacity in central and North Queensland – wind and solar farms including Sun Metals solar farm – a minimum amount synchronous generation – typically coal, hydro and gas power stations – must be online,” the spokeswoman said. [well that is something, they got to mention to the c word].
“The limits for inverter based generation depend on the specific combination of synchronous generators online at the time.”
In plainer language, the system is rooted if you allow access for too much unreliable energy and there is not enough coal power.’https://stopthesethings.com/2020/09/02/re-enthusiasm-curbed-grid-manager-shutting-off-wind-solar-to-prevent-mass-blackouts/
The state government of the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) is supposedly on the conservative side of politics. Sadly, this NOT exactly true as this government in many ways is not much different from those on the left of politics. When it comes to the Ponzi Scam of climate change this state government has swallowed the lie hook line and sinker. These politicians who spend other people’s money have a Plan for you! The Ponzi Scheme is the Net Zero Plan Stage 1: 2020-2030 and ‘…is the foundation for NSW’s action on climate change and goal to reach net zero emissions by 2050. It outlines the NSW Government’s plan to grow the economy, create jobs and reduce emissions over the next decade.
The plan aims to enhance the prosperity and quality of life of the people of NSW, while helping the state to deliver a 35% cut in emissions by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. The plan will support a range of initiatives targeting electricity and energy efficiency, electric vehicles, hydrogen, primary industries, coal innovation, organic waste and carbon financing.
Under the plan, businesses will be supported to modernise their plant and increase productivity, while farmers will have access to new markets and technologies. The plan will also help to drive down the cost of living and provide consumers with more information to help them make more environmentally and financially sustainable choices.
The implementation of the Net Zero Plan, together with the NSW Electricity Strategy, will result in more than $11.6 billion of new investment for NSW, including $7 billion in regional NSW. This will support the creation of almost 2400 new jobs, including 1700 jobs located in the regions.
