The new Queensland Premier admitted she wasn't ready to be government shortly after the election and now she demonstrates it. Annastacia Palaszczuk has panicked before the storm has completed its course. ABC journalists are hyperventilating at trees having fallen over, and Channel 9 journalists interview people in shelters asking if they have enough food and water. There are heavy rainfalls and there is a king tide. However, the state of readiness is in stark contrast to the Bligh government's failure to even insure against disaster based on their insane climate change belief. People died from Bligh's incompetence.
Changes in state are studied. In 1810, Andreas Hofer, an Austrian drover and patriot, had rebelled and led rebellion against Napoleon. He had been sanctioned by the Austrian Emperor, but Napoleon had had an extraordinary run of victories in battle and so Tyrol was ceded to Napoleon. Napoleon's instruction to the court martial was allegedly "Give him a fair trial and then shoot him." Hofer was executed on this day in 1810. He stood before his firing squad, paid the corporal to shoot straight, refused a blindfold, and gave the order to fire. Eight years later the Emperor of Austria gave his family a patent of nobility.
Under Napoleon the world was divided and this provided predictability where puppet states had a direction and ambition in alliance to develop. When the world has not the direction such division provides, minor powers can become difficult and tragedies ensue. Such has been the case with end of the cold war where atrocities have been committed for no reason. The Middle East is suffering with little nations no longer pawns in the Great Game, trying to find meaning in jihadist philosophy. The new rise of Russia is a blessing for those seeking to restore order lost since the Soviet Union collapsed. There is still tragedy in places like Syria and Ukraine, on this day in 2014, many Euromaidan anti government protestors were killed in the Ukraine, probably thanks to Ukraine government snipers. It is a tragedy the Ukraine government is supported by Washington in much the same way Afghanistan had been once before. The new division has not shown the peace those who believe in the Great Game strategic alliance would achieve. Obama has given nuclear weapons to Iran, will this policy bear fruit?

Piers Akerman correctly describes the enormity of Thomson's lies to parliament. The cost to the Australian economy of prolonging the ALP government will never be redressed fairly. But he should serve time. And if he does, maybe he will come to love the world he is in, rather than charging low paid workers for it.
Andrew Bolt discusses Kerry's ridiculous decision to place trust in a thief regarding AGW matters. Apparently Australia does not have a quota of racist psychiatrists. There is a strong possibility that the new senate election in WA will harm freedoms by preventing the Abbott administration legislative freedom. ABC find another person who did not witness an atrocity by the detention administration. There is demonstrably no difference between BDS advocacy and anti semitism. Thomson illustrates how ALP is weak on union corruption. Tasmania's electoral system may be broken. The next ALP PM is probably not in parliament. Union is upset that taxpayers don't subsidise workers to $30k above award.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
I have begun a bulletin board (http://theconservativevoice.freeforums.net) which will allow greater latitude for members to post and interact. It is not subject to FB policy and so greater range is allowed in posts. Also there are private members rooms in which nothing is censored, except abuse. All welcome, registration is free.
