Mr. Orban, you are not a patriot. You are just a useful idiot of Russia and China.

[Joe Bishop-Henchman 🗽💸⚖️🚆 @jbhenchman]

Gorsuch to Kagan, Sotomayor, Jackson: In every Biden executive order case, you voted to uphold what the President did. However vague the statute, however unprecedented the action, however attenuated the causation, you voted yes. So why are you in the majority with me in this case? Why?

Gorsuch to Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh: In every Biden executive order case, you voted to strike down what the President did. You said vague statutes, unprecedented actions, attenuated causation, that those are all fatal. So why are you in the dissent in this case? Why?

[Jules Moxon @julesmoxon]

Of course. That explains the legion of privately built fossil fuel power stations in Australia.

...wait a minute.

🚨

President Trump just gave his best speech ever at the United Nations. Below are the key parts on global boiling.

(You should carefully read @ChrisMinnsMP and @PennySharpemlc)

"Energy is another area where the United States is now thriving like never before. We're getting rid of the falsely named renewables. By the way, they're a joke. They don't work. They're too expensive. They're not strong enough to fire up the plants that you need to make your country great. The wind doesn't blow. Those big windmills are so pathetic and so bad, so expensive to operate, and they have to be rebuilt all the time and they start to rust and rot. Most expensive energy ever conceived.

And it's actually energy. You're supposed to make money with energy, not lose money. You lose money, the governments have to subsidize. You can't put them out without massive subsidies. And most of them are built in China, and I give China a lot of credit. They build them, but they're very few wind farms. So why is it that they build them and they send them all over the world, but they barely use them? You know what? They use coal, they use gas, they use almost anything, but they don't like wind, but they sure as hell like selling the windmills.

Europe on the other hand, is a long way to go with many countries being on the brink of destruction because of the green energy agenda. And I give a lot of credit to Germany. Germany was being led down a very sick path both on immigration by the way and on energy. They were going green and they were going bankrupt.

And the new leadership, new leadership came in and they went back to where they were with fossil fuel and with nuclear, which is good, it's now safe and you can do it properly. But they went back to where they were and they opened up a lot of different plants, energy plants, energy-producing plants, and they're doing well. I give Germany a lot of credit for that. They've said, this is a disaster. What's happening? They were going all green. All green is all bankrupt. That's what it represents.

In 1982, the executive director of the United Nations Environmental Program predicted that by the year 2000, climate change would cause a global catastrophe. He said that it will be irreversible as any nuclear holocaust would be. This is what they said at the United Nations. What happened? Here we are. Another UN official stated in 1989 that within a decade, entire nations could be wiped off the map by global warming. Not happening.

It used to be global cooling. If you look back years ago in the 1920s and the 1930s, they said, global cooling will kill the world. We have to do something. Then they said global warming will kill the world. But then it started getting cooler. So now they could just call it climate change because that way they can't miss climate change because if it goes higher or lower, whatever the hell happens, it's climate change.

It's the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion. Climate change, no matter what happens, you're involved in that. No more global warming, no more global cooling. All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons were wrong. They were made by stupid people that of course their country's fortunes and given those same countries, no chance for success. If you don't get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail.

I'm telling you that if you don't get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail.

The carbon footprint is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions and they're heading down a path of total destruction. The carbon footprint, it was a big, big thing. A few years ago, I remember hearing about the carbon footprint and then President Obama would get into Air Force One, a massive Boeing 747 and not a new one, an old one with old engines that spew everything into the atmosphere. He talked about the carbon footprint, we must do… Then he'd get in and he'd fly from Washington to Hawaii to play a round of golf, and then he'd get back onto that big beautiful plane and he'd fly back and he'd talk about, again, global warming and the carbon footprint. It's a con job at extreme cost and expense.

Europe reduced its own carbon footprint by 37%. Think of that. Congratulations Europe. Great job. You cost yourself a lot of jobs, a lot of factories closed, but you reduced the carbon footprint by 37%. However, for all of that sacrifice and much more, it's been totally wiped out and then some by a global increase of 54%, much of it coming from China and other countries that are thriving around China, which now produces more CO2 than all the other developed nations in the world.

So all of these countries are working so hard on the carbon footprint, which is nonsense by the way. It's nonsense. It's interesting. In the United States, we have still radicalized environmentalists and they want the factories to stop. Everything should stop. No more cows. We don't want cows anymore. I guess they want to kill all the cows.

The whole thing is crazy. The primary effect of these brutal green energy policies has not been to help the environment, but to redistribute manufacturing and industrial activity from developed countries that follow the insane rules that are put down, to polluting countries that break the rules and are making a fortune. They're making a fortune.

European electricity bills are now four to five times more expensive than those in China, and two to three times higher than the United States, and our bills are coming way down.

I unleashed massive energy production and signed historic executive orders to hunt for oil. But we don't have to do much hunting because we have the most oil of any nation, anywhere, oil and gas in the world. And if you add coal, we have the most of any nation in the world. Clean. I call it clean, beautiful coal.

You can do things today with coal that you couldn't have done 10 years ago, 15 years. So I have a little standing order in the White House. Never use the word coal, only use the words clean, beautiful coal. Sounds much better, doesn't it? But we stand ready to provide any country with abundant, affordable energy supplies if you need them, when most of you do.

In closing, just want to repeat that immigration and the high cost of so-called green renewable energy is destroying a large part of the free world and a large part of our planet. Countries that cherish freedom are fading fast because of their policies on these two subjects. You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you are going to be great again."

@jeremy_gans He was there first?

@jeremy_gans Aha, not at all. Decisions by Madam Justice Derrington are published under "Sarah C Derrington J"

Top work @Qantas - caught by the need to de-ice in Canberra. I mean who'd have thought?

[Jules Moxon @julesmoxon]

As opposed to a generation who think snarky one-liners in a Guardian blog is profound work...

[Amy Remeikis @AmyRemeikis]

I stand by hating this show. At the time. Now. Always. Truly insufferable and created a generation of staffers who think being the smartest person in the room and deploying a clever line will save the world

[Liberal Victoria @LiberalVictoria]

Congratulations to Benson Saulo who has been selected as our candidate for Macnamara for the next federal election. 👏🏻

[Jules Moxon @julesmoxon]

@Qantas has the cooking station in the Brisbane business lounge been converted into an art installation?

[Jules Moxon @julesmoxon]

Come on @Qantas , it must have been over a year since the live cooking station in the business lounge was open.

At least one set of parents seen making good use of a child safety tether at the airport.

[Jules Moxon @julesmoxon]

@Qantas when are you guys going to reopen the kitchen station in the Brisbane business lounge? Surely we're far enough past the pandemic by now...

[Jules Moxon @julesmoxon]

@jeremy_gans How very SCOTUS of them!

@Riss_Bundjalung @NITV A lot of big corporates funded the no campaign. Let’s see who they were when disclosures come out in the coming months 👀

Been loving @mrjoeaston 's @Qantas blowtorch.

When Jane Hume and Tony Sheldon are on a unity ticket...indeed.

[Jules Moxon @julesmoxon]

@jeremy_gans I might be being a bit thick- but I can't find a copy of the report online. Is there one??

[Jules Moxon @julesmoxon]

Loljks it not shocking. You have to go back to 2019 to find *one* (and I do mean one) finalist not from NSW or Victoria.

[Jules Moxon @julesmoxon]

Learned some truly shocking news today. *all* of the barrister finalists in the Australian Law Awards are from either the NSW or Victorian bars.

Shocking. I am shocked.
