Australian Carbon Tax Protests

10 June 2011 Australian Climate

AKA: The great carbon tax swindle! Something very strange is happening on our streets here in Australia. But first, let’s go back in time, over 20 years back, to 1990. Maggie Thatcher was in charge of my old country, England. She introduced a ridiculous tax, called the Poll Tax. People took to the streets to [...]

Brisbane Hits New Daytime Maximum Temperature Low Newsflash: Today in Brisbane temperatures have barely got above 12° C. The highest temperature I’ve seen on my outdoor thermometer is 12.4° C.

23 May 2011 Australian Climate

On Saturday evening we went to a party to celebrate a friends 40th birthday. But the party wasn’t round our friends house, no. It was here….

At Last. A Hot and Sunny Day in Australia.

22 January 2011 Australian Climate

But before that….. What year is it? Hold on, I’ll have a look. Ah, yes, it’s about 42 years past the moon landing. Almost half a century since man first set foot on the moon. Yet, as we hurtle with frightening speed towards an event known as “the singularity” wherein computers become as powerful and [...]

15 January 2011 Australian Climate

My post on Wednesday called how are you Bob pretty much summed up the events surrounding the flooding of Brisbane from a Western suburbs point of view.
