It might be a new year; however, the Coalition and Labor are still up to their old tricks. It didn't get a lot of attention, but the LNP/Labor alliance has been on a unity ticket when it comes to wasting billions of your taxpayer dollars on an Olympics bid that could cost Queensland more than 12 billion dollars.

Senator Hanson has been on the offensive, arguing that this money could be better spent ensuring long term water security for rural and regional Queensland.

How is it that the Liberals and Labor can join hands and create a 12-year plan for the Olympics but refuse to consider a 10-year water security plan!
 
It just goes to show how out of touch the major parties are when it comes to understanding the needs of everyday Aussies.

All too often the sound and sensible voices contributing to the climate change debate get drowned out by hysterical fanatics who only want to shout "how dare you" at those offering rational solutions.
 
That is why when someone puts out a calm, articulate explanation of some of the issues we are dealing with when it comes to the climate; we should share it far and wide.

So after you have finished reading this opinion piece authored by One Nation's NSW leader Mark Latham, we encourage you to do exactly that.

Climate alarmists like to claim the "science is settled" and spread lies like "97% of scientists agree" but we guarantee you they will go to water when confronted with the points raised by Mark.

Next time a looney wearing an extinction rebellion shirt tries to tell you the "science is settled", be sure to send them this link.
