Our public service is creating ever new regulations, regulations, regulations. But what about the fees, fees, fees everybody has to pay to get anything done?

There is something worse than burning our tax dollars in a bonfire: throw it all at UNRWA and related terror-oriented and supporting UN organisations.

Here is a sensible way to greatly reduce Australia's carbon emissions and help to save the planet: declare all leaf-smoking ceremonies illegal.

Your point about China demanding western countries handout more cash is hilarious.

Their millionaires gobble up our businesses, our houses, and our farms, and we sell them coal so we can buy their cars, useless wind farms and solar panels because we are stupid…and to prove to all and one just how stupid we are, we call them a developing country.

What a laugh they must be having in Shanghai.

Good job, but you left out specific comment regarding the ABC/SBS endless pit of expensive tax payer funded churning out of misinformation/disinformation. By shutting down at least 75% of these MAD spewing factories would definitely go a long way to achieving our climate change objectives and clear the air ways across this great land!!

And can someone please tell the Taliban and the other clueless cloth-headed troublemakers that their so-called 'sacred' text is actually, historically, a crock that Mohammad (pbuh) manufactured, didn't do his research on the Jewish or Christian doctrine of the times...600 years after Christ... And... Um, which now has most of the western world pandering to the demands of equally clueless western supporters!? God preserve my soul this insanity has to be stopped...

James, that was just too much for me this morning. I was planning a useful, happy day. It might still work, just have to avoid everything government and corporate.

It is ironic that the cop conference is in Azerbaijan. That is the same Azerbaijan that persecuted its small Christian population and has just ethnically cleansed the Christian Armenian population out of Nagorno Karabakh. The much persecuted and slaughtered Armenians had to flee to Armenia with only what they found carry. Then very old and historic churches were razed to the ground. It has been suggested that Turkey and the Azeris want to build a road through there to better advance Turkey’s Ottoman fantasies. It will give them better access to the Kurds and the Christians they shelter. And Sky was laughing about the Azeri comments on fossil fuel and resources. The Azeris are not friends of the west. The Armenians don’t find them funny after they lost everything and have to start again. 120,000 people. Peace talks are underway and Nagorno Karabakh will stay under Azeri rule. Given the Azeri association with Turkey and the 1.5 million Armenians killed by the Ottoman empire from 1883to 1923, Armenians are unlikely to return to a majority Muslim controlled area.

And you are surprised by the Taliban being at cop, James? Both murderous regimes so they fit very well as does China.

Hilarious James but depressing at the same time.
