Thanks to reader Bob – Farmers dismiss BoM rainfall outlooks as worthless – pity there seems to be no more Senate Estimates hearings this year Although they are mainly a GreenLeft Festival – and I am not aware of a Senator who will cross examine the BoM. I have Outlook critiques going back over a decade.

Sooner Labor takes over Fed. Govt. the better
It is worse than just this upcoming Bali UN GabFest. The SMH reports that at ScoMo’s request – last month Malcolm Turnbull represented Australia in New York at at least two meetings under UN auspices. The first time was for a high-level panel on building a sustainable ocean economy, the second the launch of an initiative to advance non-tobacco investments.
Wentworth voters want action on climate – on ABC The Drum
I just heard this on The Drum – and nobody made the obvious point that Wentworth voters are in a central locality near the Sydney CBD and are free to buy a bicycle or use public transport.
Minister Littleproud loses plot attacking ALDI
Our Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud has attacked ALDI for not saluting a scheme to add a “drought levy” to milk. Our highly paid logically challenged minister completely forgets that any farmers able to shop for their groceries at ALDI could have been saving hundreds of dollars a month already – way in excess of any return they could possibly expect from the Woolies/Coles milk levy propaganda. Australia could save $Billions if our economy was run by ALDI.
Reminder of Aussies wintering in Antarctica
ABC reports Antarctic base station experiences warmest August on record – when you read on the warmth was due to warm gales. The annual max and min to 2017 show no joy for the IPCC.
F-35 global grounding and update
I started mentioning the shortcomings of the F-35 about three years ago. David Archibald has done much research on the F-35 and updated on 10 Oct 2018. Then a day or so later came the news of the global grounding.
Just another Australian Govt financial(and Security) disaster.
Dr Hewson campaigns in Wentworth byelection
It is a shame that when Dr Hewson campaigns in the Wentworth byelection he is not asked some hard questions about the viability of solar thermal electricity generation schemes has has promoted over the years. He should also be asked about ARENA who found that concentrated solar thermal (CST) technology could be a commercially viable form of dispatchable renewable energy within a decade. English translation – NOT VIABLE NOW. Dr Hewson and Solastor have for years promoted aq model where tracking mirrors concentrate the suns rays on a graphite block generating steam to drive turbines – but despite over a decade of trials and pilot projects in Cooma and Lake Cargelligo I am not aware this system is working continuously anywhere delivering grid electricity economically? Solastor has no news for 2018 which suggests they realize their models are a fail. Vast Solar Pty Ltd(Dr Hewson has no connection I am aware of) have their long gestating solar thermal plant near Forbes that heats molten sodium but that has been sidelined in favour of a simple solar PV development. ARENA is not supporting any Port Augusta projects I can find and ditto for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation. I am keen to hear of any Govt support for concentrated solar thermal projects anywhere in Australia.
