On energy costs

How cheap would gas be if John Howard hadn’t done a deal to sell our natural gas to China at One Cent per kilo? Compare that to the cost being paid for gas by electricity generators in Australia.

On free speech

Thank God for the Q Society. They’ve shown everyone who cares to see exactly what sort of “free speech” some in our community want. For so long I along with many many others have asked what it is they want to say that they cannot now say. Well now we know. I will continue to use my free speech to condemn and counter their vile utterances.
