Last Post, January 17 - The Australian (blog)



I'LL start getting worried about rising sea levels when climate change advocates sell their waterfront houses, not before.



Peter Vickerson, Corinda, Qld


If I hear the term "scientific consensus" on climate change regurgitated once more, I will vomit.


Judy Ryan, Lyons, ACT


How do we know if it is the sea level rising or the land sinking?


Ray Carman, Chapel Hill, Qld


I see the average temperature has not risen since 1998. Phew, we got that carbon tax in the nick of time.


Peter Armitage, Carlton, Vic


Far from "appalling and disgraceful", I thought Andrew Laming's question was reasonable ("Race a factor as melting pot hits boiling point", 16/1) and I'd like to hear the answer. Did any of the young men in those mobs do a day's work that day?

Didn't Ned Kelly shoot a policeman ("Such is life: 130 years on, Ned returns home to join his mother in Kelly country", 16/1)? Let's get things into perspective here.


Del Foster, St Lucia, Qld


Let me see, we have the mining industry cutting jobs, retail cutting jobs, phone companies closing down and even the great NBN is laying off executives. Yet, according to Newspoll, more people are supporting Labor.


Stephen Jones, Dawesville, WA


If Julia Gillard and her cronies want to blame Tony Abbott for the poll reversal ("Labor MPs told to blame Abbott for poll reversal"), take us to an early election. I'm sure the silent majority will soon set Gillard straight, especially after another "blame Abbott" decision.


Rick Highman, Toowoomba, Qld


A great cartoon by Kudelka ("Prime Ministerial yoga", 16/1).


John McBain, Nerang, Qld


The debt ceiling may be scarier than the fiscal cliff, but Barack Obama in his second term is the scariest of all ("A chance to really change the nation", 16/1).


George Fishman, Vaucluse, NSW


Wearing one's baseball cap backwards quite possibly halves the IQ. It now seems it has the same impact on one's tennis ability.


Richard Reid, Malvern, Vic


The discussion regarding optional preferential voting is interesting, but misses the question why people who pay no tax should have any say in how taxpayers' dollars are spent.


David Meredith, Singleton, NSW
