Preserving History

The Rio Tinto thing with blowing up the Juukan Gorge caves to make a road to their mine got raised in parliament. Juukan Gorge was destroyed in 2020 and it was all perfectly legal. That doesn’t make it morally or ethically right. Preserving human history wherever and whenever possible is an important thing in the

Romance isn’t dead

This is an interesting twist on how stuff works out. This “glamorous” lady was doing something naughty to her bloke as they were driving home from a night out, let’s just say it’s impolite to talk with your mouth full. It might have distracted him just a tad which caused him to crash. Yep, it

Time

Below is the opening to an essay I have been thinking about recently. It’s about time and how we waste time. I don’t know where this essay will go but for sure it will go into the great deaktop folder of my weird thoughts. “Once in a lifetime, twice in one day.” Is a line

Mick’s Musings 3 – The net zero debate

There is something about the way of the world with the “green revolution” that continues to be remorselessly pushed by governments and elites globally. It gets a little bit of oxygen occasionally and then is pushed aside. That something is the sheer hypocrisy of the agenda. Here in Australia the push to renewables, reducing carbon

Mick’s Musing 1

I read a lot of blogs and maybe I’m a glutton for punishment as I read all sorts of posts from a myriad of views and beliefs. As simple and comfy it would be to just read the stuff I align with, it would be a fragile comfort. I read a wide spectrum and have

Music defines the times

The music of every era represents those times. The 1940’s was one of hope in darkness when so many faced certain death. Particularly if you were on the front line. Soldiers were determined to be able to be in battle for 240 days before their minds were totally destroyed. The good news was most of

Just a thought

I was reading the news and the bile was rising in my throat. Not a new thing but sadly familiar with media in general. Then it was on to politicians and their love/hate relationship with media. I reckon it would be fantastic if a politician was giving a press release and none of the journos

Propoganda Now

If one thing from the past couple of years is plain to anyone with an ounce of common-sense is the heavy-handed and clumsy use of propoganda to push a narrative by which people can be encouraged to follow a desired path. Okay I just mansplained that, so I’ll do it for the rest of this

Easter in Images

When I’m feeling lazy but still want to post something relevant I turn to cartoons. It’s fun to see how some people with talent and a twisted view on the world can create such things.

Back to the Future

Way back in the dark ages of the early 1970’s I read an article in the newspaper of how treasure hunters had located Allied military bases that had been abandoned. The treasure hunters had found a stash of goods worth hundreds of thousands. This fuelled my desire to be one of theose treasure hunters who
