Churchill waves to crowds in Whitehall on the day he broadcast to the nation that the war with Germany had been won, 8 May 1945.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, FRS (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British politician known chiefly for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II. He is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders. He served as Prime Minister from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, writer and artist. To date, he is the only British Prime Minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the first person to be recognised as an honorary citizen of the United States.

Paul McLeay 'wanted to switch seats' in wake of David Campbell scandal
DAVID Campbell's political body was not even cold when the Ports Minister Paul McLeay was on the phone trying to get his seat, senior Labor sources said yesterday. Mr McLeay, with a margin of 8.8 per cent in the seat of Heathcote, was accused of lobbying Labor head office in an effort to switch to the former transport minister's "safe" seat of Keira (22 per cent) at the next election. The lobbying occurred on Thursday night, just hours after Mr Campbell's resignation as Transport Minister. It's understood Labor general secretary Sam Dastyari told his colleagues about Mr McLeay's lobbying on Friday.

Throw in the towel, you’ve lost the moral high ground
Piers Akerman
THE brouhaha over the so-called “outing” by Channel 7 of former transport minister David Campbell as a frequenter of homosexual bath houses has highlighted the moral decay prevalent across Western society. - Of chief concern for me is not the sexual behavior, but the inability of the government to maintain transparency so that private behavior remains private. The government is keeping secret many things the public should know. It becomes hard to know when the public should not know, because of the failure of transparency. The question needs to be asked 'where was the ICAC?' in this issue. If the acts were of such little consequence, why haven't the basic background checks been available to clear Campbell of any wrong doing? Why is it that no one is able to say they were aware of the issue, but the Minister was never compromised because ... ??
Yet it is thought that the secret was an open one, hidden only from voters.
I have friends that are gay, but I am not. I have friends who are lefties, but I am not. But I don't suspect my friends of espionage or being a threat to my well being, and if I did, I would make very sure that threat was dealt with. This government has so many secrets they don't even know who their friends are, and neither do they wish to risk doing the basic maintenance needed to maintain their friendships. One may only assume that it is because they are so corrupt that they must assume fidelity. - ed
Tom Griffin replied
Unfortunately the Australian electorate lowered the bar on moral standards when it elected a lying, drunken voyeur as our Prime Minister.
- A young woman (a former student of mine) died the other week. She had been apparently lured to her death by someone promising her that she could be able to serve others by helping hurt wildlife. What a contrast with Nixon and Campbell, who have prospered in service positions where they failed to serve. As with Paluzzano, we know that some things have not happened the way they were supposed to. The culture of secrecy in ALP governments has ruined the transparency needed to assure the public’s confidence in governmental process. And not even the tragic loss of a young life casts much light in showing what is rotten. - ed.
Lewis of The Hills replied
Of chief concern for me is the crowding out of the really pertinent issues.

The NSW electorate are now focused on David Campbell’s fall from grace because he was a closet gay instead of his incompetence & abysmal performance as a minister.

Channel 7 did not do NSW any favours.

Piers wrote: Correct. He deserved to be sasked for gross incompetence before we knew about his gross public indecency.
That is right, Lewis. I hum this number to remind me of what you wrote. At least Rick could choose to leave Casablanca. - ed.

If it isn't US, it's Obama
By Bill O'Reilly
You may remember my book "Culture Warrior," the one before "Bold Fresh." In that book, I said that secular progressives want to change our traditional Judeo-Christian heritage. SPs believe it is oppressive and unfair.

"Culture Warrior" was a No. 1 New York Times bestseller, and I think I made a persuasive case that the SP movement wants dramatic change that would directly affect you.

Of course, that was years before the rise of Barack Obama. In "Culture Warrior," I used a fictional president named Gloria Hernandez, who many people feel resembles Mr. Obama. But obviously when writing the book, I had no idea about President Obama or what would unfold in America.

Now Newt Gingrich has a new book out called "To Save America," in which he says that secular socialists are trying to alter the country, and if they are successful, Mr. Gingrich believes the United States will be damaged forever.

So let's take a look at the secular socialist deal.

There is no question that the Obama administration has expanded the power of the federal government. Just the health care law alone accomplished that. On Thursday, the feds passed a law that provides strict oversight to the financial industry. "Talking Points" believes the feds have to watch Wall Street, but this is obviously another expansion of federal power.

But what about the socialist banner?

Well, millions of Americans believe that President Obama wants the government to control the free marketplace, at least to some extent. Thus the president has been labeled a socialist in some precincts. We have not done that here because the description is too simplistic for what is really going on.

What troubles me is that we are seeing very far-left people working in the Obama administration. The latest is Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner, whose remarks about the new Arizona law to the Chinese have caused a bit of controversy. Posner does not like the Arizona law, feeling it may cause discrimination, and he admits he brought the law up to the Chinese "early and often." So far Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been silent on the matter.

But one look at Posner's resume shows you he is an ideologue. I mean, the guy founded a group called Human Rights First, which is largely funded by George Soros. Come on. Soros is the biggest open border guy in the country, so what is Posner doing in the State Department?

That kind of situation gives credence to people who say the president is lining up a bunch of far-left loons in order to change the country.

Again, that might not be true, but the debate is raging.

Heckuva Job, Barack
By Michael Goodwin
America is in trouble, and Obama can't be counted on to save her.
President Obama is the backward man. Teddy Roosevelt's advice to "speak softly and carry a big stick" was meant as a guide to successful foreign relations.

Obama has completely muddled the message. He speaks softly to foreign adversaries and uses the big stick on American dissenters.

Iran and Syria are wooed endlessly with carrots, apologies and promises of grand bargains. They respond with taunts and threats and pay no penalty.

North Korea sinks a South Korean ship, and our secretary of state says it means no more business as usual. That's an admission it has been business as usual even after the loony kingdom tested nukes.

The Mexican president comes to Washington and berates American citizens for expressing their views through the democratic process, and Obama shamefully nods in agreement. A State Department aide apologizes to China -- to China! -- about our treatment of illegal immigrants.

Meanwhile, American "fat-cat bankers" and "greedy" doctors and sundry opponents are demonized as enemies of the state. They respond by sullenly surrendering the health-care and financial industries to Big Government.

Welcome to a double disaster. America now has a foreign policy that is a dangerous flop and a homeland as bitterly divided as ever.

And don't forget 10 percent unemployment and skyrocketing deficits and debt.

Heckuva job, Mr. President.

That's the Obama record. Just because he won't face it -- or even answer questions about it -- doesn't mean the rest of us must ignore it.

America is in trouble, and Obama can't be counted on to save her.

For the dead-enders who held out hope he would moderate his drive to neuter America in the image of European welfare states, it's give-up time. The error of his ways are so abundant and obvious that Obama's determination to plunge ahead must be seen as a fully informed choice.
He's not going to change. He is who he is, and what you see is what you are going to get for as long as he is president.

Obama has made two fundamental decisions, and both are making us weaker. He is putting America on bended knee around the world, and he is centralizing in the political class more and more power over the domestic economy.

His goal of trading America's old friends and allies for new ones threatens to leave us more isolated than before. The old ones are mad and suspicious, and the new ones don't want to be our friends.

How exactly have Russia and China reciprocated our self-abasement? They haven't, but we have managed to cause angst and anger in Britain, Israel and Eastern Europe.

If George W. Bush's "cowboy diplomacy" was to blame for the predicament Obama inherited, who is to blame for this new world order? It's not Bush's fault that Turkey and Brazil are taking Iran's side and giving it cover to get nukes. It happened on Obama's watch because of his policies.

That was a defining moment, as was the visit of Mexican President Felipe Calderon. He blasted Arizona's anti-illegal immigrant bill as "discriminatory" and demanded Obama do something about it.

Did our president defend his fellow Americans? Nah. He simply offered that he'd like to do what Calderon demanded, but "I don't have 60 votes in the Senate."

The outrage was compounded when Democrats in Congress gave Calderon a standing ovation after he repeated his denunciation at the Capitol. It was a shocking display of anti-Americanism of the kind routine in Mexico City, but wholly inappropriate in the halls of Washington.

I'm surprised nobody thought to burn an American flag.

YOUR TAXES AT PLAY
Tim Blair
Lego may be helpful as “play therapy” for children who suffer decreased social interaction and social skills. In related news:
A Liberal senator has slammed the use of Lego to promote creativity among ABC staff as a “bizarre” waste of money …

But ABC managing director Mark Scott said the initiative was a legitimate exercise and part of a program supporting the “core values” of the Australia’s national broadcaster.
Presumably, once they’ve mastered Lego, they move on to basic reporting.

FEMMES FOR FGM
Tim Blair
Mark Steyn:
I wrote last week about the American Academy of Pediatrics’ support for Female Genital Mutilation-lite – a “ritual nick.” In return, I received a remarkable number of letters asserting I’d invented the whole thing. Not so. You can find chapter and verse and here.

One reason why readers think we right-wing madmen are just making this stuff up is because of the shameful silence (and worse) of western feminists, who implicitly accept a two-tier sisterhood, in which some women get to lead the lives they choose while others, in the interests of “cultural sensitivity,” get a literally rawer deal that begins with FGM and, if they’re really unlucky, ends with “honor killing.”
True in 2007, more true now: “In the rock-scissors-paper hierarchy of the modern left, sensitivity to Islam trumps clitoral scissors every time.”

TEN BUCKS ON THE TURTLE
Tim Blair
At last, a way to make environmentalism fun:
Think the spreading oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico could drive some species to extinction? Put your money where your mouth is.

The gambling website PaddyPower.com placed odds today on what species would be first to become extinct as a result of crude belching from BP PLC’s ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico.

Odds are the Kemp’s ridley turtle, and endangered species that migrates to the Gulf this time of year, would go first. A $5 bet on the turtle would win $9 if it’s listed as extinct at any time because of the spill. Less likely species—the gulf sturgeon, smalltooth sawfish and elkhorn coral—have payout rates of 20-to-1.
You can also bet on the Australian election.

UPDATE. A rare appearance by “some kind of Mexican Gulf deep water anaconda-fish”.

UPDATE II. A healthy pod of shrieking land cows survives the disaster.

UPDATE III. He can heal planets and change ocean levels, but Obama can’t stop an oil leak.

THE NEXT BIG THING
Tim Blair
If the Guardian is correct – and it’s a big if – the UN might be taking its first steps away from global warming:
The economic case for global action to stop the destruction of the natural world is even more powerful than the argument for tackling climate change, a major report for the United Nations will declare this summer.
Well, let’s wait and see. If the UN actually does support what sounds like an extreme version of old-fashioned environmentalism over warmenist panic, it could be game over for the warmies.

AUSTRALIA UNITED
Tim Blair
Some conservatives have argued that Kevin Rudd is even worse than Gough Whitlam, and now a prominent leftist agrees:
Former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser says the Rudd government has more failures than the Whitlam administration he overthrew ...

He’s cited the botched home insulation and overblown school building programs from the stimulus program as examples of administrative failures.
A new poll is interesting: “Head-to-head, Mr Abbott was seen as slightly more trustworthy (20 per cent) than Mr Rudd (19 per cent).”

If you don’t read Carey, you can’t read at all
Andrew Bolt
It’s not just me who has noticed novelist Peter Carey’s alarming tendency to sermonise like a particularly doom-filled sandwich-board man, or his difficulty in squeezing his ego into the same room as his audience. But Gerard Henderson says Carey’s been like this for a while now:
In April, The Wall Street Journal reported how, at a function in the New York Public Library, Carey responded to a question about the kind of novels he writes with a version of the conversation he claims to usually have on planes. It went as follows. The person says: ‘’What do you do?’’ ‘’I write novels.’’ Person: ‘’Should I know your name?’’ Carey: ‘’Only if you’re literate.’’

Enough said.
Henderson says Carey actually suffers from a distresssingly common problem among our intelligentsia.

“Disingenuous” Nixon tried to mislead: royal commission’s counsel
Andrew Bolt
I think she’s very lucky she wasn’t charged with perjury:

IN a damning summation of Ms Nixon’s evidence to the bushfires Royal Commission, counsel assisting the commission will say the former police chief commissioner was “disingenuous” and attempted to mislead and conceal and omit the truth.

Lawyers acting for the royal commission have rejected the possibility that the former police chief commissioner forgot she went out to dinner on Black Saturday said the Herald-Sun.

“Her evidence on the first occasion was incorrect and calculated to mislead,” says a draft submission of counsel assisting the commission, Jack Rush, QC.

“This omission was not affected by poor memory. It was a deliberate omission. The omission was calculated to leave the impression that she had monitored the fires continuously, via the media of phone, radio, internet, and TV.

“Ms Nixon attempted to conceal the fact that her capacity to monitor events had been compromised during the period she was absent from home.”

Ms Nixon has been heavily criticised for not immediately revealing to the royal commission she had gone out for a pub meal, had her hair cut and worked on her memoirs on Black Saturday, when 173 people died.

Ms Nixon’s office last night said the head of the reconstruction effort would “strenuously defend” any allegations put to the commission.

Marr finally silenced by the menace he thought would come from Howard
Andrew Bolt
Remember the fulmination of Leftists such as David Marr against the wicked attempts of the satanic Howard Government to stifle free speech - attempts since matched, and more, by Kevin Rudd?
Since 1996, Howard has cowed his critics, muffled the press, intimidated the ABC, gagged scientists, silenced non-government organisations, neutered Canberra’s mandarins, curtailed parliamentary scrutiny, censored the arts, banned books, criminalised protest and prosecuted whistleblowers.
Of course, since then we’ve had the CSIRO censor a critic of Kevin Rudd’s emissions trading scheme, school principals banned from criticising Rudd’s school spending, journalists stopped from asking embarrassing questions, an art exhbition damned and closed down, millions spent on government propaganda, critics dumped from the ABC board, four new $100,000 prizes created for writers personally endorsed by Rudd, and a diplomat publicly smeared, vilified and demoted after givng Rudd unwelcome advice.

Next? Now note the evidence to a Senate committee this week of Parliamentary Librarian Roxanne Missingham, who reveals new restrictions imposed by the Rudd Government on information requested by the Opposition:

Our aid for Rudd’s vanity
Andrew Bolt
When he’s not expelling Israeli diplomats to appease Muslim countries, he’s offering aid bribes to African ones who may likewise back Kevin Rudd’s desperate campaign for a temporary seat on the UN Security Council:
AUSTRALIA will pump more than $400 million in foreign aid into Africa by 2015, as Prime Minister Kevin Rudd chases a seat on the United Nations Security Council.

Aid funding for Africa will more than double - from $163 million this year - despite Australia having few historical ties with the continent.The rise in spending will see hundreds of millions spent on helping Africa develop better farming practices while thousands of “development awards” will be offered.

But the money will also help promote Australian Rules football...
Nor is that the only cost of Rudd’s vanity:
TAXPAYERS paid a massive $700,000 for Governor-General Quentin Bryce’s trek to Africa to help win Australia a seat on the UN Security Council.

Ship missing. Rudd’s Siev X?
Andrew Bolt

Is this the Rudd Government’s Siev X - and will Rudd be vilified by the Left as a murderer as were John Howard and Peter Costello?
THE federal government knew a boat leaving Indonesia was in peril before it disappeared with more than 100 asylum seekers trying to reach Australia.

Frantic relatives have not heard from the missing for more than seven months and are demanding to know how a boat could vanish with the Australian and Indonesian governments aware of its existence.

The boat left Indonesia on October 2. Australian authorities learnt a vessel was in distress the next day but Home Affairs Minister Brendan O’Connor said ‘’credible information’’ showed its difficulties had been resolved…

Surveillance by Border Protection Command, and actions by Indonesian authorities, on October 3 failed to turn up a vessel in distress.

‘’There has been no confirmation of the alleged vessel’s location,’’ Mr O’Connor said.
Why has this been a secret for seven months? Why is the Left so silent? And is this report, if true, not yet further proof of the recklessness of the Rudd Government’s boat people policies, which encouraged the resumption of such a deadly trade?

This tax will kill Rudd
Andrew Bolt
Kevin Rudd, I predict, is going to be seriously wounded by this “super profits” tax and the rushed, secretive, deceitful and spin-mad way he’s presented it:
WAYNE Swan’s planned 40 per cent mining tax is under mounting pressure, with former banker and mining executive John Ralph rejecting it as risky and doubt cast over the Treasurer’s claim that resources companies are under-taxed.

Mr Ralph, a business leader who reviewed the tax system for the Howard government in 1999, has warned that the resource super-profits tax will damage the national interest by increasing sovereign borrowing costs.

The warning, in an article written for The Australian today, comes after Mr Swan yesterday accused mining executives of lying to the public about the RSPT and demanded they “accept the right of a government to govern”.

As the Treasurer implored the mining industry to drop its “rhetoric and threats” and negotiate with the government, his weekend claim that miners pay effective tax rates of between 13 and 17 per cent was torpedoed by tax office figures produced by the opposition.

The ATO data said miners paid an effective rate of 27.8 per cent, which rose to 41.3 per cent with the inclusion of state royalties.

The opposition also sought to undermine the source of Mr Swan’s claims - a paper from the US National Bureau of Economic Research written partly by a graduate student at the North Carolina University whose international comparison lumped Australia and New Zealand together.
Why would you believe a single word Rudd says.

UPDATE
More trickery, says reader Victoria 3220:
Was Swan being incompetent or dishonest?The Treasurer of Australia used an old 2009 version of the draft paper that he and Gillard used to claim the mining industry paid only 17% tax. A 2010 version of the paper is here.

The 2010 version has dropped the 17% tax finding.The question is, did the Treasurer of Australia with the entire resources of the government behind him either so incompetent that he was unable to find the latest version of the draft report, or did he deliberately choose to mislead and deceive by using a version of a paper since amended by the authors?

Fraser agrees: Rudd worse than Whitlam
Andrew Bolt
Malcolm Fraser is asked on Q&A whether he agrees with me in saying “perhaps unfairly” that Kevin Rudd is worse than Gough Whitlam, at least in running stuff.

Fraser, being of the Left, bristles at being bracketed with such a dreadful conservative, but is forced to admit I’m right - this government seems “totally incapable” of administering a straightforward program. Indeed:
The administrative failures (of the Rudd Government) are gross, and half of them aren’t pursued by the Opposition. The administrative failures are as great, if not greater than the administration failures in Gough Whitlam’s Government.
And a prediction:
They are going to muck up hospitals next.
He even doubts Rudd’s super profits tax is thought through.

(See from 28:30.)

Peter Carey, meanwhile, continues to demonstrate how your ego can eat your own brains.

UPDATE

Lionel Shriver may be a writer, but at 38:30 she gives an impressive explanation of the concept of sovereign risk - explaining just why Rudd’s tax would send a “shiver” of fear among international investors. She even uses the phrase “death panels” that had Sarah Palin so mocked.

Tanner backs the ATO figures… But wait. er, no. Ask Swannie
Andrew Bolt
Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner yesterday played his own game of pass-the-parcel when 4BC’s Mike Smith asks him a simple question.

Lindsay, who should we believe on the effective rate of income tax paid by our mining companies, the Alabama student Labor quotes who says it’s a paltry 13 to 17 per cent, or our own Australian Tax Office, which says it’s actually 27.8 per cent - or more, when you include royalties?

What follows is excruciating:

SMITH:

Do you believe the ATO’s numbers or the undergraduate paper?

TANNER:

Apologies for letting you down on the description of the bloke who’ll know but I haven’t seen the Tax Office stuff that’s been referred to…

SMITH:

You’re the Finance Minister.

TANNER:

Yes, but believe it or not the Treasurer’s actually the person responsible for tax. But I can tell you one thing…

SMITH:

Hang on a second, Minister. You’re the Minister for Finance. You work out where the money’s coming from do you not?

Howes says it for sane Labor - and against the anti-Israel Labor of Rudd
Andrew Bolt
No, not everyone in Labor would agree with Kevin Rudd’s wild decision yesterday to make an example of Israel, once thought of as our friend, by expelling one of its diplomats.

AWU boss Paul Howes actually wrote this two months ago. I doubt he (privately) thinks any differently today - and his piece even then warned of the anti-Israeli agitation that Rudd has now unleashed:
The question of the use of Australian passports in the operation in Dubai raises many issues for the Australian Government.

Traditionally, Australia has been a loyal friend of Israel, no matter which party is in government…

Some have argued that if Israel has illegally used Australian passports, this is not the action of a friend. Maybe.

But in my view, friends stand by each other in the good times and the bad, and a friend is someone who lends a hand when the going gets tough.

That’s why I’m proud that our nation has played a small, and accidental role, in the removal of the terrorist al-Mabhouh from our planet…

Al-Mabhouh will be mourned only in the capitals of the despotic Middle East regimes such as Iran and Syria.

Many anti-Israel activists around the world, and in Australia, have seized on the passport issue to develop a new front to push their anti-Israeli propaganda. That, too, is to be expected.

But Australians shouldn’t fall for the giant lie they are pushing. Israelis are actually allied with a clear majority of the Arab world fighting a war against the forces of anti-democratic Islamo-fascism.

The world defeated Nazism. Now the world must support those countries fighting Islamo-fascism…

The Australian Government has a responsibility to protect Australian interests abroad and while some may say the possible illegal use of Australian passports in the Dubai operation is against our national interests, I say they are wrong.

It is in our nation’s interest and the interests of the world as a whole, to ensure democracy, liberty and freedom thrives.
What Howes and other Labor moderates will today be thinking of Rudd and the damage he’s done to our bonds with Israel....
