Carlo's Corner
Carlo Sands has a chat about dystopian fiction.
It is amazing what can be achieved by a potentially uncontrollable pandemic that doesn鈥檛 discriminate between rich and poor, doesn鈥檛 respect national boundaries and will destroy a global economy quicker than I鈥檒l destroy a bottle of gin if forced to stay at home without sport to watch for more than a day, writes Carlo Sands.听
Bullying is never okay, and certainly not from the 鈥渓unatic fringe鈥 inner city or 鈥渟cientists鈥, writes Carlo Sands.
As Australia burns amid record-breaking temperatures and ongoing drought, and report after report confirms the dire consequences of global warming, it is obvious what we must urgently do: ban climate protests.
It is what the Quiet Australians in parliament and Sky News studios are clamouring for.
I was stunned to read聽聽that Peter Dutton鈥檚 home affairs department is rife with bullying and harassment.听You learn something new every day.
I just assumed any department headed by Dutton would be a happy, friendly place, with puppies running around and flower gardens and lambs and group hugs every hour.
When the Coalition unexpectedly won the May federal elections, it was tempting to assume no good would come of it. But that type of thinking ignores just how much money the gambling industry lost with the defeat of the odds-on favourite, Labor.
It is bad enough that our rulers insist on pushing ahead on a course so disastrous that when a new report says聽human civilisation could end by 2050,聽you think 鈥渢hat鈥檚 optimistic鈥 as you just saw another report saying the Arctic is melting so rapidly the scientists trying to measure it keep losing their tools, but, honestly, do they need to be so fucking smug about it?
A lot of people are alarmed at the rate at which prime ministers get changed these days. Personally, I鈥檇 be happy to have a new PM every week so long as none of them torture any innocent people in isolated offshore prison camps, writes Carlo Sands.
鈥溾, screamed the front page of the Herald Sun on July 6, in a very clever pun on North Richmond鈥檚 safe injecting room that had opened a few days earlier.
鈥淎ddicts snub injecting facility鈥 and 鈥淣othing changed in heroin hotspot鈥 sat above the main cover slogan to emphasise the point about ungrateful 鈥渄ruggies鈥.
Recent military actions by Western powers, backed by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, have certainly proven controversial. But the simple fact is that the civilised and democratic West cannot refuse to act in the face of the indiscriminate massacre of civilians in Yemen 鈥 I mean Syria.
