There's a new mood in the Liberal Party - and it's no longer Tony Abbott's
Australia's political leaders are attempting to weave their magic, but the joke is mainly on them.
Morrison, the man everyone remembers holding up a big, black lump of coal in the house, is going to attempt to make it disappear. Not with a
dramatic flourish, but slowly, very slowly, so slowly that no one notices until, one day, it's just not there any more.
"Scott is trying to move, but he has to be very careful managing the
change," says another Liberal MP. "We've lost three prime ministers to
climate policy, so you can understand that."
Jim Molan was ridiculed for saying on the ABC's Q&A show on Monday night that "I'm not relying on evidence" in forming his opinion.
But what happened out of public sight on Tuesday was more telling. When
Liberal MPs and senators met for their first-party gathering of the
year, Queensland MP and former medical doctor Andrew Laming rose to his
feet and eloquently rebuked climate deniers for arguing against the
science. He was implicitly chastising Molan and Jim Kelly, ( along with State Media Sky, News Corp and 2GB)

It's T-shirt weather in Antarctica as records tumble
The temperature at one research base in Antarctica reached a record-breaking 18.3 degrees this week.
Average temperatures on the continent have risen almost three degrees over the past 50 years, and during that time glaciers along the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula have retreated.

Stokesed in Japan: the ambassador and the media mogul
Although best known as a media mogul, much of Kerry Stokes’ wealth is derived from LNG, coal, iron ore and beef, of which Japan is a major importer. Boosting demand is a key role of Australia’s Japanese ambassador, Richard Court. As a director of three Stokes companies,
Court would be well aware of the flow-on. So why not disclose his relationship? Jommy Tee investigates WA mining networks and political connections.
Imagine the outcry if a Minister of the Crown declared that he was still a director of three companies associated with an Australian billionaire, and didn’t relinquish said directorships.
With Stokes’ interests in a range of mining, energy, LNG, and livestock fields, any efforts by our man in Tokyo to boost demand in these areas would deliver positive flow-on to the Stokes empire. Court would be well aware of this. especially as a director of three Stokes-related companies. The question is: does his ongoing association with Stokes’ companies present a conflict of interest? Should his directorships be disclosed despite not a being a protocol requirement for politically-appointed ambassadors?

How subsidised is Andrew Bolt?
TRUMP UNLEASHED. HATERS MOCK A 'BONKERS' SPEECH THAT ACTUALLY DESTROYS THEM
How his haters help Trump. Vox's Aaron Rupar tweets clips
of Donald Trump's towering speech of revenge against "scum" James Comey,
the "bulls..t" Russia story peddled by "dirty cops" and the "evil"
Democrats who tried to impeach him, and miserably failed. Rupar calls the speech "bonkers". But what he actually shows is a Trump to vote for.
Watch.
Andrew Bolt the organ grinders monkey dutifully advertises on queue crap in print as news for peanuts his master supplies. There's a new mood in the Liberal Party - and it's no longer Tony Abbott's
