Alternate Radio and TV

 

From John Roskam | Thursday, 11 April 2013

The world has lost a champion for freedom.

If there's one piece you read on Margaret Thatcher make it this by Conrad Black in the National Review Online on Tuesday. If there's two or three read (in priority) Boris Johnson in The Telegraph, Brendan O'Neill from Spiked, and Peter Oborne also from The Telegraph (which was reprinted in Tuesday's Age - how did a pro-Thatcher piece slip through?)

Last week Rupert Murdoch delivered this unforgettable speech on the morality of markets at the 70th anniversary dinner of the IPA. 

And Tony Abbott gave a great speech - including what he thought of our idea to be like Gough Whitlam.

Selling the ABC is number 50 on the IPA's list of things to do for an Abbott government. If you want proof why the ABC should be sold, listen to this 12 minute interview/interrogation on Radio National from Monday with Tom Palmer about the welfare state. Tom is from the Atlas Economic Research Foundation and Cato Institute in Washington and has been speaking at IPA events around Australia. This is about his book - and buy it here.

On Andrew Bolt's blog there's a really good line-up of classic Thatcher videos - including my favourite from 1981. Back in 2011 I wrote about one of the classic Thatcher stories.

Peter Reith in yesterday's Australian Financial Review explained what Thatcher meant for Australia (behind a paywall). And this from taxpayer-funded students at Melbourne University reveals how barbaric some people are.

Margaret Thatcher changed Britain - but obviously not enough. This ridiculous Nanny State ban was imposed by a school in Essex a few weeks ago - it involves triangular flapjacks.

And a government spokesperson thinks they're a bit of a comedian - 'we often come across half-baked decisions...but this one takes the biscuit.'

Meanwhile in America...guess what else has been outlawed in New Hampshire schools. And on Tuesday the Washington Times reported the Commerce Department is charging other government agencies for reports that can be googled for free

If you're reading this on your Samsung smartphone you'll enjoy this 4000 word piece from Bloomberg a fortnight ago on how Samsung will beat Apple and take over the world - it's very interesting.

Here's what else the IPA said this week:

Hunting the Pirates of the Suburbs - Rena Iliades

Rena Iliades joins us to discuss the state of local councils in Australia today. Rena was one of a number of members of the Resistance in Melbourne who produced a documentary video entitled: "Pirates of the suburbs." Which plainly shows that local councils have become tyrannical bureaucracies that actively work to dominate the common people.

 Agenda 21 in Australia - Ann Bressington

At a time when most Australians feel betrayed by the political class, there is someone who has made a public stand for Australia and its People. Her name is Anne Bressington. MLC SA Parliament.

Anne is currently touring with Lord Christopher Monkton and it was at these meetings that she has publicly exposed the covert operation of Agenda 21 and those who have largely been responsible for framing it for the UN the Club of Rome.

She joins Leon to discuss the way that Agenda 21 is being carried out in Australia today. Together they discuss the secrecy and political complicity that accompanies this Agenda, how far advanced it is, the destruction of National identity, individuality, food security, and the communist intent of the UN.

Plenty of fat to trim if leaders get real
Canberra Times | 22nd March, 2013
Alan Moran

Over the past 60 years, Australia, like most Western countries, has seen a very rapid growth in the size of government. Whereas 60 years ago federal and state government accounted for about 25 per cent of the national cake, today it is 35 per cent.

In an attempt to emulate the cost savings that market forces impose on private-sector... Read

There's an annual contest at the Griffith University in south-east Queensland calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.
This year's term: 'political correctness'
The winning student wrote:
'Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of s*** by the clean end.'

I could not agree more with this well-thought-out definition

 Accountable...Which Bank...?      See GroupHERE

This group site is specifically for people who have endured abuse from their bank - AND those who wish to learn about banking "practices" while supporting those who are in dire situations financially even though  "you" may not be.

               As the photo shows- DEBT is huge business- but what of the clients when the risky lending backfires???
