Barnaby Joyce's belated re-ascendance to his proper position in the Nationals (DT, 22/06) should serve as a wake up call for Scott Morrison.
ScoMo, you won “the climate change election” precisely because we know the CO2-warming hypothesis has been falsified and is pure left-wing agitprop.
Who do you work for, ScoMo? Australians who elected you to fight the globalists or the globalists themselves?
Turnbull had to go because he was a green-left double-agent and ScoMo is, if possible, actually worse. Time to go, ScoMo.

Mike O’Connor (C-M, 22/06), outstanding column, sir; and so refreshing change to read such realism.
“Green energy” is anything but. The only truly “emissions-free” vehicles are nuclear submarines, but the nihilists amongst us abhor nuclear, too.
The whole idea that CO2 emissions change the climate is delusionary. Fifty major climate predictions have failed in fifty years – none have come to pass.
CO2-warming is a failed hypothesis but it never was about science. From day one it’s been a fear campaign inflicted on we the people for political reasons by a small minority.
And didn’t ScoMo defeat Shorten in the “climate change election?” Why has he drifted so far left that he’s ignoring his mandate? It’s time to replace ScoMo, too.

RE: “Call for mine clarity” (TB, 21/06), I don’t always agree with the Katters but I do on the North West Minerals Province.
Australia has no economic functionality outside mining and agriculture and anyone who thinks we can make ends meet as a “services economy” is dreaming and should wake themselves with a self-administered uppercut.
There are just three ways to create wealth, as opposed to stirring created wealth around.
We can (1) dig stuff up and sell it, (2) farm/harvest/catch stuff and sell it, or (3) make something out of (1) and/or (2) and sell that – and we’ve already exported (3) to China.
Our slavish obeisance to the globalist narrative that originated with the socialists’ 1975 Lima Declaration will see us become the poorest western nation.
The only way to prevent that is to always push back hard against all radical left-wing wrongology.

Wow! $481m for 10.5km of road. $45.8m per km. This is the inherent problem with upgrading existing roads. It triples the cost to rebuild a road while keeping the traffic flowing. That's why the best solution to the Tablelands access problem is a tunnel and not a Kuranda Range upgrade. Driver, Bentley Park
Before lefties start carrying on that Barnaby "ran out on his family" - his first four children are all adults. At the time he broke up with Natalie only the youngest was still at school. He was separated when his new relationship began. Barnaby is not Robinson Crusoe in this - plenty of blokes have second families. Even lefties. Ex-ALP voter, Cairns
Good Lord, the entire left-wing media edifice is in an uproar because the Nationals party room booted an ineffective leader and replaced him with a leader with a proven track record of representing Nationals voters. Does anyone employed in the left-wing media even vote National? Somehow I doubt it. Jennifer, Edge Hill
Watching the green-left go into meltdown over Barnaby Joyce being re-elected as Nationals leader, and hence Deputy Prime Minister, has been priceless. Hopefully this will serve as a wake up call for Scott Morrison. We elected Morrison over Shorten in "the climate change election" because we know "manmade climate change" is nothing more than a left wing political fear campaign. Energy Realist, Cairns
(CP, 22/6) Columnist Justin Smith seems confused about our electoral processes. Nobody votes for the PM or the DPM except for the party rooms. Heck, our Constitution doesn't even mention a PM or DPM - or political parties for that matter. When Smith claims there was no election he is wrong. There was. It took place in the Nationals party room. GTR, Edmonton
It's true that "net zero emissions" was part of the reason McCormack lost the confidence of a majority of Nationals (CP, 22/06). The whole idea that emissions have any effect on climate is delusionary. Just because something is widely believed does not mean it is correct. Higgs, Tolga

"Hopefully this will serve as a wake up call for Scott Morrison."
Some wake up call, Struth. Yesterday afternoon, under Barnaby's renewed leadership, the Nationals announced their support for Morrison's target of zero emissions by 2050.
As I observed yesterday, in reelecting Barnaby as leader, the Nationals have committed political seppuku. Now they are twisting the blade. It's going to be a blood bath. And you are beginning to sound like a typical Catallaxian -
"Vote Liberal (National) 'cos at least they're not Labor".

They are not my words, MV.
This is a thread dedicated to Peter Campion's Letters to the editors and also replies from the readers, as is the case above.
That's why the commentor's name is at the bottom of their statements.
I won't hold my breath waiting for an apology.

Humblest apologies then, Struth.
However, that said, I really don't see much point in you promoting Peter's letters, or anything else of his. Peter destroyed any chance he ever had of ever getting anywhere in QLD politics when he ignored my advice to distance himself from Barnaby during the State election, and instead repeatedly featured his new son in law in his campaign. I told him at the time if he kept it up he would be lucky to even get 2% of the first preference vote and get his deposit back.
He didn't just ignore me, he doubled down promoting his family connections with Joyce. The end result was he got just 328 first preference votes - 1.67%, and blew his deposit. You can't alienate half of the voters and expect a decent result.
And I say all that as one of, if not the very first person to contribute money to his election campaign when he first announced it, something I copped a lot of flack for from the Gang Of Four and their sycophants like Fisky, over at the Liberal (National) Party Admiration Society.

I see a very great benefit in posting his letters.
I agree 100% with his politics and he is active and fighting.

OK, Danny O’Shane (CP, 23/06) now I’m confused.
You say anyone born here belongs to this country, even if this country’s laws emphatically state they do not. Fair enough so far.
I have seven generations of forebears born legally in this country but I’m told by indigenous activists that, due to my specific racial heritage, I am an “invader” and don’t belong here.
In fact, I’m told I owe “reparations” despite people of my race lifting indigenous people out of poverty and massively extending their lifespans – which surely has some value.
Could you please explain this apparent double standard?

An open letter to the PM
Dear Scott
Here's an idea: openly state, "Look, we used to believe that man-made CO2 emissions controlled the climate but we have seen that hypothesis falsified by the lived experience and subsequently we have changed our views."
That's the truth, Scott, and everyone with any genuine research and analysis ability knows it. "Climate change" is political - not scientific.
Then you can defund all "climate change" programs and cut ties with all the international alarmist organisations that have perpetuated this myth, save us untold billions, bring manufacturing home, and avert the looming economic disaster created by the covid panicdemic.
Right now you're headed for historical ignominy but if you follow this advice you might well be remembered as Australia's greatest ever Prime Minister.
Over to you, Scott.
