The story about the reporters being blindfolded and questioned shows the normal active understanding of foreign countries by Westerners. The journalists had broken curfew which gave immediate justification for the Egyptian authorities to arrest them. Mr Lyons tried to gloss over this by saying that thousands had ignored it already. I'm willing to bet that many Egyptians had also been picked up. (Continued on page 4)

Greens sound Carbon and warning.just because the country is well placed, even reasonably so, is not in any way mean that they will ever do so. China has been making lots of claims the quite a while to contribute to the reduction in emissions that same time they were implementing one new coal-fired power plant per week. They continue to do so and have no interest whatsoever in cutting emissions. It's all just political talk. You expect somebody like Prof Garnaut to know and understand this kind of thing but apparently he doesn't. He is simply a tool in the Labor political toolbox.
It will never happen that there will be a 40% increase in defence spending in Australia, not while the Leftist government is in power.

The story from Andrew Colley very old news.

Yet again we see that lack of burning to clear underbrush in a bush area did not happen. Once again we find that the principal opposition to such burning with the green groups. Once again we see people who have moved from cities into the country having no clue about fire and fire prevention is indicated by those who built their decks right up to the edge of the bush. should we feel some sympathy for the lost? Certainly but we should have no sympathy for government agencies that listen to the green rubbish over what used to be considered, common practical sense.

It is very rare to see Julia Gillard concede any lack of value for the BER program.

The Americans being held in run after they claimed that they crossed into one run by mistake. I would expect somebody hiking in Kurdistan to have a GPS. If they didn't they were just plain stupid, if they did ditto.

The article by Dib and Barker is standard leftist thinking and the fact that one of them is from ANU this reinforces the point.

Foley has been a force for good. I've got least one good laugh today.
A number of letters today particularly on the levy and the recent Newspoll. As they point out such a poll is worthless unless it is separated into those who will be paying those who won't. Those who won't care is of course the support it.
I find ad hominem comments against Julia Gillard just as idiotic and banal as those against Tony Abbott. Len MacPhang managed indicate a lack of intelligence in a single paragraph. "What he wrote down" is not the same as an e-mail that was sent out. It is now common knowledge that while he wrote the central text the remainder was added by staffers. So what Tony said is consistent he stands by what he wrote not by what others did.
