The fact that there are no backup generators for a major installation like a water treatment plant speaks volumes about the Queensland government at the State and local level.

A big cheer for Lanai Vasek For reporting that Stewart Franks, an environmental engineer from the University of Newcastle saying that excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causing man induced climate change was responsible for la Nina is rubbish. Instead he talked about the cyclical influences of various ocean patterns.

This is where you will find an article on the last Digger to die in Afghanistan. Six pages of new stories about rain and wind before getting around to something about an individual who fought and died for Australia. I guess some things aren't that important to our media.

A whole page of rubbish about climate change. Graham Lloyd reports on review of the latest literature. I've been reading the latest literature from real scientists in their saying the exact opposite of what is being reported on page 8. That the nation would listen to an of individual like Garnaut who is proven himself to be unreliable in the past just means that we deserve all we get in terms of pain from increased prices across the board. It also shows that telling flat-out lies about what literature says means the debate is now purely political.

Amanda Hodge reports on an incident of blasphemy for a 17-year-old student because they scribbled on the margin of an exam paper. I read about similar incidents on a daily basis so this is in no way surprising. The surprising part is that Human Rights Watch said anything about it because most of the time they behaved as friends of Islam. The 17-year-old was arrested and put in prison, this is the kind of society certain groups in Australia want to introduce here.
Islamic nations do not respect any Western ideas, laws, regulations, rules, human rights, et cetera. They're not allowed to because the religious texts tell them they can't.

Heroes? This has to be the most abused word in the media English-language.

Good point by Stephen Edwards given that the taxpayers are fronting 75% of the infrastructure rebuild in Queensland why should anybody outside of Queensland the be paying a levy?
The usual number of anti-Abbott letters.
Terence Lee is absolutely correct. David Wright on the other hand, if on translating what is written correctly, he suggesting that 2% of the population be allowed to affect our Constitution. Our Constitution protects all of us equally, to suggest otherwise is disingenuous.David is not really puzzled he simply has his own agenda.
In Cut & Paste we see the bureau of meteorology defending their data fiddling when it comes to temperature to records. Once again its climate models every one of which is shown to be not only inaccurate but unable to predict the immediate past. The data shows decreases in extreme weather over the last few years in contrast to their claims that any increases occurred due to anthropogenic global warming. As always what they say is not match in any way to measured data.
Finally here is my letter that was unpublished:
"As an IT professional I was literally stunned when I read that the NBN contractor had been laying optical cable, above ground, pole to pole. I was less stunned that the government had approved such a process. To do so at all is just plain wrong, to do so in a cyclone prone area defies belief. This is just another reason why the NBN should be scrapped and why no-one should ever believe anything the current government says about wisely spending taxpayer’s money. Imagine for a moment a whole area’s Internet access being taken out after one truck hits a pole. The risk scenarios are almost endless."
