Introducing One Nation’s first WA Senator, Tyron Whitten

Pauline Hanson with One Nation's first WA Senator, Tyron Whitten.

One Nation is officially the most successful conservative minor party following the recent election. Today I spoke with Tyron Whitten, the first One Nation senator to be elected outside of Queensland this election, and asked him a few questions.

My latest interview for The Spectator Australia, Introducing One Nation’s first WA Senator, Tyron Whitten.

"These Greens and Teals live in the concrete jungles of the city ... they’re happy to have all this green energy, but not in their backyard. You know, it doesn’t impact their lives, but let’s cut down some rainforest somewhere in someone else’s backyard."https://t.co/H8PXOVl5zx

Woke society replicates 1970s mice experiment

Human studies used to disprove findings from Universe 25 may have been 50 years too early. 

In the 1960s and 70s, the American ethologist and behavioural researcher John B. Calhoun conducted an experiment with mice to better understand the effects of population density on behaviour. The experiment, conducted at the National Institute of Mental Health, was known as Universe 25. It consisted of a predator-free, 9-foot square pen with nesting boxes and unlimited food, water, and nesting materials but limited space.

The results were surprising. Rather than physical density, the more limiting idea of ‘social density’ suggested a bleak future for humans living in urban environments. While Calhoun was controversial for ‘anthropomorphising’ his findings, it shocked me how Universe 25 mirrors what is happening in our increasingly Woke Western world.

Alexandra Marshall had this to say in the Unfiltered newsletter:

Giving politics a break for a moment, there is a great little article from Michael de Percy today in which a mouse experiment from the 60s/70s that might explain why our culture is going so horribly wrong. Its mice even started ‘going Woke’ (well, a mouse version of Woke). The major lesson, beyond the entertainment, is that models and expert consensus do not always correctly predict reality. Given the topic involved is ‘population growth’, this is certainly something that needs more thought.

Labor’s energy crisis ends up on your bill

Our energy system is in a crisis created by Labor and we're paying for it.

Mr Bowen has proven that governments are the worst at picking winners when it comes to the best technologies for a job (like Rudd and Conroy before him). Bowen’s renewables policy, one that young people really, really want (apparently), is quickly becoming an economic nightmare.

It turns out that the ‘cheapest form of energy’, is actually more expensive than everything else.

Alexandra Marshall had this to say in the Unfiltered newsletter:

And now for the bad news. Despite Chris Bowen and Anthony Albanese making wild promises about cheap energy bills, we found out today that all of our bills are going up. If you’re unfortunate enough to be in New South Wales, it’s really going up. The self-inflicted energy crisis is ending up on your bill and there’s not even a hint of apology or culpability from Bowen.

My opinion piece in The Spectator Australia, Labor’s energy crisis ends up on your bill.

Labor’s energy policy is a failure.

It has failed to reduce energy prices, it has failed to meet its emissions targets, it has failed to obtain a social licence, and it has failed to enable any possible alternative to their chosen technologies.https://t.co/uZH2MQ352v
