AUSTRALIAN – MARCH 2025 1 – 10

Beware the pitfalls of job-sharing

As a person and leader who had to confront the challenges posed by job sharing, I caution that this methodology has many shortfalls, particularly for those who are the direct recipients of this sharing. I know from experience how unsatisfactory this methodology can be.

Albanese and his openness to Australian troops going to Ukraine

Can PM Albanese be offered the rank of General Albanese so he can lead our forces into their peacekeeping and assistance role in Ukraine?

Look out, Taiwan, here comes China

It will only be a short time before China offers Taiwan an ultimatum: rejoin willingly, or we will assist you toward ‘togetherness’.

The everlastingness of Donald Trump

There is a possibility and somewhat of a probability that, in time, a statue of Donald Trump will be erected in New York Harbour to stand proudly alongside the Statue of Liberty.

Cyclone Alfred off Queensland coast

My thoughts and inner feelings are praying and hoping that Alfred will not be a killer cyclone and that destruction and erosion will be as minimal as possible. Every year, as a Darwin resident since 1987 and Territorian since 1975, I live with a fear of cyclones and am glad when the cyclonic season has passed. The cyclone is the worst of all the environmental catastrophes that can occur.

The Albanese Cohort and Energy impracticality

Why, oh why, is the Albanese Government flogging a dead horse over hydrogen? The whole energy priority policy with which we are confronted is pathetic.  We are heading backward regarding energy and economic efficiency at a rate of knots.

Green Hydrogen a pipe dream

Well, well. Dr Forrest’s vision – shared with Chris Bowen – has morphed into the reality of impossibility.  Now, how could that have happened?

Australia going down

Sadly, I believe that Ministers Plibersek and Bowen are so set on renewables that Australia’s destruction as an economic and manufacturing force is all but dead in the water.  I fear for the future of this country for my children and grandchildren, for we live in a country that is declining in key areas.  If the Albanese Government is returned in the May election, that will be the beginning of the end for our country, and we will become but a tiny power in the world.  The steady light reflecting on this country will become a candle flickering in the wind.

Friendly fire from training mishaps

The friendly ordinance was not reassuring. But in the NT, some years ago, an object fell from an Air Force plane and landed among industrial businesses in the outer Darwin suburb of Berrimah. Miraculously, no one was hurt. We have had other incidents and near misses in the NT—the Territory is heavily devoted to training in all defence aspects, naval, air, and land.

You reckon!!

I would love to be able to stand for election to parliament, for being a member of parliament is to be part of a noble profession.
