offsite link The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

Dear friends,
as some of you may know, the Rudd Labor government has continued to seek maximum punishment for nonviolent resisters to Pine Gap's war crimes.

They finally passed changes to the Defence Special Undertaking's Act, so that the prosecution no longer have to prove Pine Gap is necessary for the defence of Australia , if they wish to give people 7 years jail for tresspassing there.

Following is a Sydney Morning Herald report on the change in the legislation.
