Electric or hydrogen: Who will win the clean vehicle race?

ABC Science

Concerns over the security of our fuel supply, shifts in international car manufacturing trends and the health impacts of exhaust fumes are piquing interest in electric and hydrogen vehicles. So which technology is in the lead?

'Nothing has changed': Australia unmoved by US offer to rescue IS families

The Morrison government is posturing dragging its feet and has no intention walking back on its original political stance of "never to be recognised" even if 40++ children are involved. Australia was once recognised as a country ready to step up to help its citizens. It is known to have slid to the very opposite of a generous nation. In less than 6 years, the LNP has destroyed our national pride and reputation. (ODT)

The US counter-terrorism coordinator says his country is prepared to help and "hope you'll accept that offer", but the Morrison government says it's doing what it can.

FAKE AND TWISTED NEWS

 

HOW THE ABC'S GET-PELL WITCHHUNTERS RAGED AT THE HIGH COURT

The ABC acted shamefully in helping to get George Pell falsely convicted of rape. Journalists became prosecutors, and the ABC locked into protecting them. This ensured the ABC's reporting on the High Court granting Pell leave to appeal was also hostile. Gerard Henderson checks Louise Milligan, one of the new tribal savages who said Pell would fail.

Despite years of effort and News Corp's wailing for-profit Greek chorus, they have had no real influence over the court process that has seen George Pell go all the way to the Supreme court of appeal. Only the private wealth of his donors and the fighting fund have enabled it and even less so his church. Pell will never be reinstated to any of the positions he once held.  So will we see Andrew Bolt fight for him to become Pope if the State finds him not guilty? Will we see him squeeze the last bit of juice out of this lucrative tale sin it for all he can?

The most ridiculous and selfish claim has been that the finding of Pell as guilty was down to the ABC. That News Corp had no effect, was impotent, but the ABC was all-powerful. If that were the case, the people would have won on all counts British Justice and the myth of public opinion.

It's as if Justice and the collecting of evidence throughout the long years of meticulous legal procedures had nothing to do with it. It's simply easy, all Andrew Bolt has to do is call the primary witness a liar, and ignore the mountain of other evidence that lead the juries in each case pronounce Pell guilty.

Guilty or not the due process will have been done without the needless abuse of people by, hucksters like Bolt, whose want is to claim credit or disclaim a verdict, why? For no other reason than their own imaginary self-importance and attention. To elevate themselves and profit from the course of events whichever way they should fall.  

 

'UNPRECEDENTED FIRES!' SCREAM WARMISTS, IGNORING ALL THE OTHERS

"Unprecedented fires" in NSW! In November! More on these fake claims by global warming catastrophists: "People talking about 'unprecedented fires created by AGW' should reflect on this: in Sept 1968, NSW had 68 straight days of bushfires, killing 14 people and burning out more than a million hectares." Why haven't more journalists pointed this out? 

Remember when Bolt elected the year 1998 and told us the planet was cooling when all the scientists said the TREND was warming. He could go back to that event and try that argument again. He' wouldn't get too far. The term unprecedented in this circumstance lends itself to more than the simple facts Bolt presents Oh remember 1968 that was worse. What is significant is Andrew Bolt screaming and frothing "Why isn't anyone listening to me". 

Insurance premiums should be coming down not up if Bolt was right. The actuaries studying these events aren't praising Bolt they are ignoring him, and they are taking far more factors into account than Bolt is who making out these are just "normal" Aussie fires. How is it we are so undermanned compared to 1968? What is the word of a Murdochian idiot screaming and yelling demanding to be heard from the sidelines compared with those of experts with long-time experience? 

WE PAY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WHO INFLATED HIS PENIS

Gosh, Labor's Medevac laws are working well. Or not: "An asylum seeker who botched his DIY penis enlargement by injecting himself with palm oil has been transferred to Australia under Labor’s controversial medevac laws so he can have a genital reconstruction...The man...  was arrested for throwing boiling water on a security guard."

We may not know what Andrew Bolt does with his penis, but we see him regularly try to inflate his ego. From that are we to conclude hi penis teeny weeny? How big he became after attempting GBH on a couple of pranksters that had done little more than glittered him. He called on the world to fight back like he did and not let jokesters get away with anything. He made out that he was a role model for all of us to follow. He even went on after the Barcelona attacks by terrorists telling us just how much he admired their conviction and wished Christians in the West had that level of belief. If that's not enabling by a guy with a limp dick calling on others to fight what is?

UNSPINNING NINE. NOT 'WITNESS TAMPERING'. NOT REALLY EVEN A 'WITNESS'

Channel Nine's take (and Seven's): "Donald Trump is tonight facing accusations of witness tampering after targeting a former diplomat while she was testifying in the impeachment hearings." Real story? She wasn't a witness to anything. Watch David Nunes get her to admit she saw and heard nothing relevant. (But that doesn't fit the media's narrative.)

Bolt has some knew approach to "evidence" it all needs to be "primary". If that were the case, murderers would be released as there are very few cases where they are actually seen in the act. If one person said he saws them do it, they'd get off because millions hadn't. We could do away with the courts as most witnesses aren't witnesses to anything.  As for Trump intimidating a person giving evidence while doing it, he's broke the very laws he's supposed to protect. Obstruction by intimidation of a person giving evidence in a public hearing. Had trump been present yelling out his tweets he'd have been arrested for a Crime.
