Peter Ridd’s article in the australian:
“The ruling raised two major weaknesses that exist in university work agreements. The first is the power of confidentiality (secrecy) provisions to silence academics for talking about unlawful actions by their university that curtail academic freedom. I know other examples where an academic, right now, is having their academic freedom curtailed but they cannot openly mention it for fear their university can lawfully fire them.
Secrecy, together with spying on communications, is an incredibly powerful tool in the hands of any authoritarian organisation, whether it be the Stasi or an Australian university. It silences dissent, isolates the victim and establishes where the power lies – with the university. The academic is crushed.
The other issue is that the High Court ruled that only topics inside an academic’s “area of academic competence” are covered by academic freedom. This may seem reasonable at first, but in my case this meant I was not allowed to say: “In my view our whole university system pretends to value free debate, but in fact it crushes it whenever the ‘wrong’ ideas are spoken. They are truly an (sic) Orwellian in nature.”
I wonder what area of expertise an academic would need to make a comment like that. Irrespective of the strict legalities of the matter, perhaps all academics should have a right to say this. I can picture Orwell smiling, especially as James Cook University found this comment by trawling through all my emails.
The new voluntary code of conduct for academic freedom, and the new legislation on academic freedom introduced by Education Minister Alan Tudge this year, although excellent in many regards, will not solve the problems revealed in this case. Both will need to be amended to have any prospect of being effective.
Before the minister might act, more fundamental problems must be answered. Is the culture of universities so rotten that it is impossible to do anything useful to reform them? Are true academic advances nowadays coming from outside the university anyway? Is university-funded research and commentary doing more harm than good?
I think it is still worth trying to reform the universities. If nothing else, the high-profile cases of misbehaving universities, around the world, have shown the public cares about these issues. It affects academics from across the political spectrum. In my case we had the Institute of Public Affairs and the National Tertiary Education Union on the same team. For that to happen, universities must be doing something spectacularly wrong. Politicians can take comfort from such alliances. It is safe to act boldly.
The dust needs to settle, and cool legal heads must turn their attention to what can be done in legislation to further protect academics. Academics must know they are well away from the cliff edge and will be protected. Satisfactory protection should be explicitly written in work agreements. We also need active policing of transgressions, and penalties against universities. The penalties must hurt. With a few notable exceptions, universities presently only pay lip-service to academic freedom.
One possibility is that university councillors, who are equivalent to the board of directors of companies, should be held personally responsible for freedom of speech transgressions. Company directors have all sorts of legal obligations that largely keep them honest. University councillors need to feel the heat.
A final question must be raised about my case. Why did JCU act so aggressively to silence me for saying there were quality assurance problems with Great Barrier Reef science institutions? This was a legal battle over a work contract, but its root cause was a debate about the reliability of science.
Maybe JCU’s extreme reaction was because I was saying something true.
The reef seems to agree – the latest statistics show that all three regions of the reef have never had more coral since records began. This despite three supposedly devastating, unprecedented, bleaching events in the past five years. Somebody must have been exaggerating. Maybe there is the odd “untrustworthy” institution doing political activism rather than science.
So let’s not forget that academic freedom matters. The debate about the reef affects every major industry in north Queensland. Farmers are being wrongfully blamed. They feel the financial pain of pointless legislation, but also the emotional pain of being accused of destroying the reef. There must be a free and open debate. It must not be constrained by confidentiality (secrecy) provisions, and intimidation or harassment by institutions. Otherwise we damage any prospect of getting close to the truth.

In effect, better than half the vehicles that used to serve these two ports (the biggest freight-handlers in the USA) can no longer move containers ij or out. And even making the ports run 24/7 to load and unload ships, as the stooges are proposing, won’t fix the problem- You just run out of container space at port.
Furthermore, if disproportionately impacts medium and small trucking businesses.

Piers Akerman:
‘Australians wishing to go the whole hog on net-zero emissions aren’t the full quid.
Claiming that the precautionary principle demands we sacrifice our economy in order to prevent global warming and taking the lead from ill-educated schoolchildren is not a sound start.
The precautionary principle should kick in before we embrace pie-in-the-sky notions of green energy with an analysis of the hyperbolic claims being thrown about by activists on the ABC and in the Nine media.
Mining entrepreneur and Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart told The Daily Telegraph – which has been running an informative series on the topic and is committed to airing both sides of the argument – that the rush to curb greenhouse emissions without proper costing could imperil family farmers and cost taxpayers “billions in subsidies”. The precautionary principle demands that we know what the cost of buckling to the climate catastrophists at the UN’s Glasgow COP26 gabfest will be before we make any pledges.
That is if there is sufficient power to run this global virtue-signalling opportunity as the UK is presently reliant on hastily-reopened coal-fired power plants and an extension cord running to the nuclear-powered continent across the Channel.
No wind and no sun has kicked the renewable camp’s reliability claims in the arse – again.’

Alas, BB, the facts have never been an impediment to the Climate Doomsday Cult.
As a veteran of the Climate Wars, I can remember having pitched arguments with sciency types on Bishop Hill. They believed, more than a decade ago, that scientific proof would put an end to the ridiculous assertions of the alarmists. I tried to explain to them that it was not, had never been, about that.
Being proved to be objectively wrong does not deter doomsday cultists. It makes them double down, lest they experience a nervous breakdown.
I think it will wither away through lack of interest, rather than being smacked down by facts and economics. Just another fad. Meanwhile, lip service is being paid by cowardly politicians (BIRM) and punters who are all in favour until it affects them directly via the hip pocket nerve.
The main problem I see is that kids and young people have been fed this nonsense since preschool. Not only does it make them anxious and afraid (child abuse) it means that challenging those beliefs is very difficult.

The rest of the Akerman article:
Australia’s second wealthiest person, Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest, has been winning plaudits from the green lobby for advancing “green” hydrogen as the energy source of the future (even as his Chinese partners are building more massive coal-fired power stations).
However, as the great South Australian scientist and author Ian Plimer has said, “you need electricity to make hydrogen and you have losses when you do that”.
Plimer calculates you end up with about 30 per cent of the potential energy by that process. The rest is dispersed.
“Unless legislation can change the laws of thermodynamics, you are in a loss, loss, loss situation. Loss because we taxpayers get skinned alive, loss because we redistribute energy and loss because we cannot replace that energy,” he says.
Plimer also makes the valid point that hydrogen is notoriously difficult to hold. It leaks from the planet, it leaks from the core of the Earth through the mantle, through the crust and into space. You cannot hold hydrogen in pipelines or steel containers.
“So, if you were to make hydrogen, you will lose a huge amount of energy doing it,” he explains.
“Then you’ve got to compress it to only 700 times atmospheric pressure, and that requires a huge amount of energy. Then you’ve got to liquefy it down to minus 253 degrees celsius – that requires a huge amount of energy.
“And then you’ve got to transport this hydrogen in a truck or a pipeline, and that is a mobile bomb.
“That hydrogen will leak out through the steel in pipelines or in a truck, just the same as it leaks out from the Earth.
“That hydrogen weakens the steel and so what have you got? You have got a bomb waiting to go off. Hydrogen is well-known to be extremely explosive.
“And when it explodes, it puts the most powerful greenhouse gas back into the atmosphere.
“And that gas is water vapour.”

As Ms Rinehart observed, the only way that makes renewables remotely feasible is if they are heavily subsidised like the wind and solar plants that are currently despoiling the landscape and destroying jobs.
Claims from the backsliding Business Council of Australia that 200,000 new jobs may be created and those from the green-left Climate Council that 70,000 jobs will be lost in NSW and Queensland if Australia doesn’t go down the dead-end renewable path, are easily countered with modelling indicating net job losses of 653,000 – not to mention the destruction of regional economies and the hit on the national economy – if we do drink the climate Kool-Aid.
That the UN’s IPCC – which has used phony statistics – is behind COP26 and its net zero campaign should ring alarm bells for Prime Minister Scott Morrison and all sane Australians.
Following “the consensus” is not leadership, particularly when that consensus is promoted by a cult of deceit.

Welcome to the Weekend Australia’s live coverage of the latest headlines from Canberra, as well as updates on the Covid-19 pandemic.
Melbourne’s marathon lockdown is set to end on Friday, with Premier Daniel Andrews announcing Victoria’s reopening plan, amid 1838 new locally-acquired cases of coronavirus, and seven deaths.
While NSW has added 301 new Covid-19 infections, after becoming the first state in Australia to hit the critical 80 per cent double dose vaccination target for residents aged 16 and over. Premier Dominic Perrottet says there will be ‘teething issues’ as students return to school this week but people should feel supported by a variety of Covid-19 safety measures in place.
Finance Minister Simon Birmingham says the Nationals aren’t dictating the Morrison government’s climate change policy, ahead of a crucial party room meeting on Sunday.

Melbourne’s marathon lockdown is set to end in a matter of days, with Premier Daniel Andrews announcing changes to the state’s road map.
The lockdown will lift 11.59pm on October 21.
Victorians will be allowed to have 10 visitors to their homes, and restaurants will be allowed 20 patrons inside and 50 outside from Friday, as the Andrews government brings forward freedoms which had previously not been expected to come in until the state reached 80 per cent full vaccination.
The state is expected to meet the 70 per cent full vaccination target on Thursday, and reach 80 per cent 10 days later on October 31 – five days later than predicted in the Andrews government roadmap handed down on September 19.
From 11:59pm on Thursday:
– Up to 10 people (including dependents) per day will be able to visit Victorian homes. It is recommended, but not required, that all visitors aged 12 and over are fully vaccinated;
– Melbourne’s 9pm to 5am curfew will be abolished, as will the 15km travel limit, which had previously been set to increase to 25km. Melburnians will still be banned from travelling to regional Victoria until the 80 per cent threshold has been reached;
– Childcare will be open to all children currently attending, as well as all children whose parents or guardians are fully vaccinated;
– Schools will reopen earlier than previously planned, with a staggered return for Grades Three to 11 in metropolitan Melbourne to begin from October 22;

Tried linking to Paywallian. Andrews is moving ‘freedoms’ forward. Must be IBAC and political winds that suggest his focus groups are growing more restless with his poxy decisions.

C’mon. Lawyers – even in Newcastle – are supposed to know how to spell.
It’s “publicly”.

FMD I skimmed through Lisa Wilkinson’s extract from her book which the Hun saw fit to print. Details her departure from the Today program and the last day she had there. Lot of victimhood in there. If anyone wishes to reproduce here, have at it. Off for a few drinks with mates

Burns finished with a Test batting average of 37. And nobody they have tried since they first picked him has done any better. In fact they have all failed. A batting average of 37 is not a failure. They should have stuck with Burns until an obvious replacement came along instead of dropping him countless times.
I was looking at the Test batting average of Geoff Marsh the father of Shaun Marsh. He played 50 Tests and had a batting average of only 33

Neil the problem with joe burns was he kept getting caught not dropped. Averages mean nothing if you can’t score runs, all that means he had a higher average before he had a long run of throwing away his wicket.

If Burns kept getting caught he would not have a batting average of 37.
The problem was the selectors wanted someone with a batting average of 45. They kept dropping Burns and tried every Tom, Dick and Harry. That sandpaper gate thing would not have happened if Burns was opening. I doubt Warner would have asked Burns to do what he asked Bancroft
I hear they are thinking of bringing back Marcus Harris with a Test batting average of 24.
