COLUMN IS ENVIRONMENTALLY CONCERNED
Mentioned in this week’s Continuing Crisis column for The Bulletin are starfish, carp, toads, wallabies, Andrew Bolt, Greenpeace, Günter, Jeff Swan, and Daleks.
Also in The Bulletin: photographic evidence of Australia’s profound strangeness in the 1950s (bonus reader challenge: spot the astonishing pictorial error in image four). Additionally: 40 reasons why England is bad—not inspired at all by recent cricket results—and Boris Johnson’s eloquent defence of his ruined nation.

“How was the food?”
“Terrible! and the portions were so small!”Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 08 16 at 08:59 PM • permalinkGreat column Tim. If they get a few more contributors like you I might even renew my subscription to the Bulletin.
I bet the Siberians are celebrating as they watch their nasty old frozen peat bogs turn into picturesque lakes.
The “extreme weather” last week was not confined to Victoria. Sunny Queensland recorded its coldest day maximum temperature since 1926. (Not many carbon emitters around in 1926). There was a report of snow falling in the Bunya Mountains, north of Brisbane. The Melbourne-based Bureau of Meteorology denied that this was possible so it must have been apocryphal. To help restore the stocks of globus bogus maximus, I turned on every carbon emitter in the house, lit a large log fire, started up three cars in the garage and cut down a couple of trees. I’m pleased to report that this seemed to have an immediate effect and restored normal warmth to my old bones.When I engage in the national sport of nude mosquito baiting, the mesh size around the face is much smaller than those depicted.
Indeed, one would think the volumetric mesh openings as depicted would almost make the wearing of the facial mesh redundant, except in Far North Queensland, and parts of PNG, where the mozzies may be challenged by the openings available.

Seems to me those two cars are driving on the right (which is to say, not left) side of the street. I don’t know geography of Sydney for squat, but I assume the photo is reversed—or both drivers are drunk—perhaps both.
