NSW conservatives have had a hard fought win to get legislation through regulating Kings Cross pubs and clubs. Libertarians said it was an over reach. ALP have vested interests in alcohol distribution. And so with strong media opposition suggesting the world would end, people would stop visiting Sydney, and they would take their fights to Melbourne, the legislation was passed. And the results are strong, with crime down across the board and police able to concentrate on other things. And the result was contained, not released before or during the recent election campaign. It is Mike Baird's birthday and April Fool's day. But it is the media that is playing us for mugs. Where are the balanced journalists suggesting the world would end, retracting their statements?
Meanwhile, the electorates where Greens profited most from the environmental scares regarding Coal Seam Gas are not the electorates where any CSG fracking is planned. But the new members will be able to tell electorates, where CSG can be safely and responsibly mined, that it isn't for them.
In 528, the first girl was made monarch in Chinese history. The next day she was deposed. In 1340, Niels Ebbesen entered the bedroom of Gerhard III of Holstein. Niels brought friends with him. He didn't like Gerhard. They cut off Gerhard's head and then beat a drum to let people know what they had done. They escaped across a bridge already weakened to be destroyed to prevent chase. Only one of the group of friends died in the escape. Denmark's interregnum was over. In 1826, the internal combustion engine was patented. In 1854, Charles Dickens serialised his novel Hard Times for a magazine. In 1867, Singapore became a British colony. In 1873, the worst maritime disaster of the nineteenth century had White Star's RMS Atlantic sink of Nova Scotia, killing 547. In 1891, the Wrigley Company was founded in Chicago, Illinois. In 1919, Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus school in Weimar. In 1924, Adolf Hitler was sentenced for his Beer Hall Putsch. In 1933, Nazis organised a one day strike against Jewish companies. On the same day, Walter Hammond hit the then highest cricket score in Test Matches of 336 not out against New Zealand for England. In 1957, BBC did an April Fools hoax program of Spaghetti Trees being blighted. In 1970, President Nixon signed the Public Health Cigarette Smoking act into law. In 1976, Apple was launched as a computer company. Also in 1976, British Astronomer Patrick Moore made the Jovian Pluto gravitational hoax. In 2004, Google released GMail.

I have an interest in new technology but I despise the hucksterism of Anthropogenic Global Warming belief. Channel 10 on Monday had programmed in the afternoon an episode on new technology in fuels of the future. I was curious. I saw the beginning, which was about, rampant global warming meaning people aren't evolving fast enough to survive, before I turned off feeling ripped off again. Their religion with little basis in reality spoils much. It is well remunerated for those on the gravy train. The global cost worldwide is more than a $trillion. And that is money that has been spent at the expense of the poorest peoples on the planet. Military isn't shrinking. No one is phasing out police. Or lawyers. But money which might have gone to employment or food production is gone. The cost of AGW extremism is poverty for many. Many die from deprivation. They can't evolve fast enough.
Julia Gillard was giving a talk in Ottawa Canada before April Fools Day. Speaking at a progress summit of her government's 'achievements.' She could have said that she implemented the tax after promising she wouldn't and then got booted for being unpopular by a person who proudly claimed he had ended the tax. Now the ALP are blocking attempts to repeal the tax they claimed they had ended after having been forced to implement what they had promised they wouldn't, by Greens. Instead, Gillard claimed pride in implementing the tax to her audience. She claims there is little resistance to it. She probably meant support. Words seem to confuse her, but she is a simple misandrist.

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
