I’m not surprised the ABC boss quit after just 12 months (CP, 08/10). Dealing with left-wing activists such as the ABC’s staff would be very wearying. It would be even worse trying to make them stick to their charter.

You know the weirdest thing about the last two years? Alex Jones’ Infowars, Steve Bannon’s War Room and Sky News’ Outsiders made forecasts that turned out to be far more accurate than those made by the experts employed by our governments and universities. Baffled, Cairns

Of course, cows eat seaweed in loonyleft world (CP, 8/10). They love bobbing around amongst the sea turtles. Let’s graze cows in the oceans to stop global warming when Antarctica just had its coldest winter in recorded history. There’s no ideas too idiotic for the climate cult.

David clapham, the only thing NSW is good for is to separate Victoria from us. Spridge, Yorkers Knob
The most sensible comment from any politician in two years has come from new NSW Premier Dom Perrottet who said bureaucrats don’t make government decisions, elected representatives do. And that’s who we must hold responsible for the covid hysteria.
