AF can you give me some kind of trigger warning before you post stuff like that in the future. I am dumber for having watched it. Of course the Paris based left leaning OECD will rank Labor Governments as better economic managers than Liberal. The OECD supports bigger Government. The more bloated the bureaucracy the better you will rank.

Follow up article from The Daily Mail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-4216180/How-trust-global-warming-scientists-asks-David-Rose.html#ixzz4YaKwBBWV

The irony is the global warming establishment have stopped using the reliable sattelite data and have begun getting a cross section of data from unreliable sources to validate their theory. The head in the sand above is a good example of climate alarmism and unreliable data. Bit of sand from the mouth might prove some local warming. Lets use it.

In a thread impossible to derail, can I possibly try and derail this one? I have written a thread on drinking in the General Board. Would appreciate comments. $cully, Trump and Hitler were / are teetotaler's.

There has been a prosecution coming from the Royal Commission and there are other ongoing investigations. I can't blame Gillard for having no invoices for work done 20 years ago. That is fair and reasonable but setting up a trust fund in a name almost identical to the AWU for her then boyfriend to purchase the house they both lived in stinks. Donating $292m of Australian Tax Payer money to a body she goes on to chair as soon as she leaves parliament stinks. These are the type of people Trump needs to drain the swamp of. On your last point we finally agree on something and this is exactly what Trump is advocating. Let's drain the swamp.

Because ISIS is a real problem.

I never said the Marxists are responsible for all the economic problems in America or the TPP agreement, just said they are stupid. As for draining the swamp it is about getting rid of people who mainly fall into one of the two categories below 1) the ones who are making decisions to feather their own nest 2) the ones who are hellbent on disrupting and breaking the existing system Excuse the Oz examples I don't know enough about the American leaches. A good example from number 1 is Julia Gillard who was sacked from the law firm she was a partner at for her role in setting up a slush fund for the illegal purchase of her then boyfriends house and who was later found by a Royal Commission to have acted improperly. Then she goes into Parliament becomes PM and donates $292m of Australia tax payer funded money to the Global Partnership for Education. Which after retiring from parliament she she goes on to chair the Global Partnership for Education. A good example from number 2 is in Victoria we have Marxists like Roz Ward who are somehow propelled into positions where they can implement "safe school programs" that have nothing to do with safe schools or educational outcomes and are all about bringing down the system. When I cheer Trump for draining the swamp it is about getting the Roz Ward's of the world out of Washington and taking the stench with them.

I believe he is going to fix climate change. Cut the funding for researchers reliant on it and problem gone.

They're not trying to "fix" the system that made them billionaires. Capitalism works just fine. They're draining the swamp of anti-capitalists that are desperate to break the system. The socialist and cultural Marxists are a special kind of stupid.

It's my understanding Lottoland (Aust) have taken out an Australian bookmakers license. So I assume they are still being taxed heavily.

He sent it to the Washington Post as well but they chose not to run with it.

Let's take the Daily Mail out of this. This is written by Dr Bates himself https://judithcurry.com/2017/02/04/climate-scientists-versus-climate-data/#more-22794

Drain the swamp. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4192182/World-leaders-duped-manipulated-global-warming-data.html#ixzz4XqjDhls3 A high-level whistleblower has told this newspaper that America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) breached its own rules on scientific integrity when it published the sensational but flawed report, aimed at making the maximum possible impact on world leaders including Barack Obama and David Cameron at the UN climate conference in Paris in 2015. The report claimed that the ‘pause’ or ‘slowdown’ in global warming in the period since 1998 – revealed by UN scientists in 2013 – never existed, and that world temperatures had been rising faster than scientists expected. Launched by NOAA with a public relations fanfare, it was splashed across the world’s media, and cited repeatedly by politicians and policy makers. But the whistleblower, Dr John Bates, a top NOAA scientist with an impeccable reputation, has shown The Mail on Sunday irrefutable evidence that the paper was based on misleading, ‘unverified’ data.

He's both better and worse than I expected at the same time.

Macca - would you like a bet on Trump lasting the full 4 years?

The thing I like best about the quick pace of his draining of the swamp is the perpetually enraged serial protestors can't protest about everything at once. Next week he will likely pull out of the Paris climate agreement. The following the UN will can kiss a large slab of their funding goodbye. Ohh what to protest about.

I'm not going to derail this thread so will only comment on this once and won't respond. i am not privy to the structure of the Essendon football club. But I doubt very much Hird, a coach who had no previous coaching experience was the head of every department and responsible for all their practises within the club. Hird claims he agreed to a cutting edge programme within the rules. All the players signed a waiver that clearly stated the programme must be within WADA rules and not detrimental to any players health. Hird could have handled it better but I truly think he his a pawn that the AFL needed to hang everything on. Particularly, after he wouldn't cop the slap on the wrist they were offering. The Government at the time were calling it "the blackest day in Australian sport" well before there was any evidence. The AFL stood side by side with the Government in the press conference. At that stage it was political. Someone was always going to hang. Essendon could have cheated much more than any of us know. There are no records so how can we tell? The fact they have no records cannot be Hird's fault alone. Every piece of electronically stored and transferred data has a record. The fact this cannot be found suggests to me that it is much bigger than just being hidden on James Hird's laptop. This to me is the key. Again without being privy to the structures within the club I doubt Goodwin is responsible to oversee the integrity of Missions work at Melbourne. The fact Bomber Thompson got these people to the club while director of coaching and yet seems unscathed suggests to me Hird is a scapegoat. There are so still so many questions and yet so little answers I just think Hird is the fall guy.

I still think Hird is a scapegoat (not blame free) in this sorry saga but he has handled it the worst of any involved. Regardless he needs to move on with his life and I wish him and family all the best.

HT - I will spend my valuable time finding evidence the IPCC was formed as a committee with its sole goal to find what damage carbon dioxide did to the planet and no other terms of reference. But when I do will you acknowledge it is stacked in one direction?

Great post Daisycutter. There aren't many free thinkers around. FWIW I believed in green house effect / global warming / climate change until the facts changed. (I still agree with the greenhouse effect in controlled environments and agree the climate always changes)

The very fact you admit that it is committees and not science says it all.

If it was science you couldn't just stack committees with a pre-determined outcome. Bye Bye climate crap.

Actually everything has changed. Climate "science" has been run by committees and authorities for decades. Trump is stacking them all the other way with "deniers". The "science" is about to change.

The draft has been like the finals for the dees. I have looked forward to it every year for almost a decade. We normally have a top pick. This year we didn't and all of a sudden we land Jordan Lewis.

The best deals we have had with include recruiting peter jackson Not taking sheedy whelan dealing with Hird
