**** In our post a while back: “The NHMRC: Australia’s Great Shame” we tipped a stinking bucket on the NHMRC’s disgraceful 2010 Rapid Review. A “review” that was so rapid that it completely missed the highly relevant, detailed and exhaustive work carried out by Neil Kelley back in the 1980s. Kelley was the author of … Continue reading Can the NHMRC redeem itself?

2014 – the Year STT goes “Viral”
STT is the site that wind scammers and their parasites just love to hate. In recent weeks we've been told about reports of STT's demise being posted daily on greentard blogs - like ruin-economy and yes2ruining-us. Well, reports of STT's "death" have been greatly exaggerated, to say the least. To the contrary, we're fast going … Continue reading 2014 – the Year STT goes “Viral”
Tony Abbott’s Business Advisor, Maurice Newman says: “RET is killing manufacturing”
Maurice Newman was the former head of Deutsche Bank, the ABC and ASX so you’d think he might know a thing or two about the big end of town. When it comes to giant fans Maurice doesn’t mince his words: calling wind power “a crime against the people” (see our post here). Maurice has also … Continue reading Tony Abbott’s Business Advisor, Maurice Newman says: “RET is killing manufacturing”
Macca shoulder to shoulder with Tony Abbott as PM signals end for RET
Last Wednesday, Action Man Abbott fronted the Canberra press gallery and delivered a speech that signals the end of Australia’s insanely expensive (and completely pointless) Renewable Energy Target (RET). Tony outlined the Coalition’s vision for restoring Australia’s beleaguered manufacturing sector, no doubt, in response to General Motor’s recent announcement that it will pull the … Continue reading Macca shoulder to shoulder with Tony Abbott as PM signals end for RET
Ron “The Boss” Boswell spells out death for the RET
STT champion, Ron “The Boss” Boswell may be on the way to retiring from the Big House on the Hill in Canberra come next July, but he certainly isn’t shy or retiring in his efforts to save Australian industry from our ridiculous renewable energy policy. As Ron pointed out a while back in this post, … Continue reading Ron “The Boss” Boswell spells out death for the RET
Alan Moran aka “The Terminator”
Alan Moran has just taken on the role of RET "Terminator". For Alan the driving question is not: “are you John Connor?” - it’s more like “are you Jonathan Upson?” - or any other wind weasel stealing from Australian power punters, for that matter. But this Terminator hasn't been sent to protect wind weasels or … Continue reading Alan Moran aka “The Terminator”
Tony Abbott says: “Stop These Things”
Here's STT Champion, Alan Jones talking with our new PM, Tony Abbott as he heads to his first sitting of Parliament as the head boy.

Miners dig in to help scrap the RET
In 1964, a nit-picking academic called Donald Horne tagged Australia the “Lucky Country” - and he did not mean it as a compliment. Australia is lucky, but so what? It rode on the sheep’s back for more than a century as the world’s largest producer of fine apparel wool. It’s seen one or two golden … Continue reading Miners dig in to help scrap the RET

Australia dodges an energy price spiral bullet
With the Coalition about to take the reins - and the line up taking control of the Senate next July even more hostile to the great wind power fraud than we could have hoped for - Australia has just dodged a bullet - an energy price spiral bullet, that is. The Coalition is all set … Continue reading Australia dodges an energy price spiral bullet
