BEGIN THE CULL
Michael Duffy on religious matters:
You can’t be a good priest if you lie with prostitutes, and you can’t be a good Marxist if you exploit workers. And you shouldn’t be taken seriously as a global warming prophet unless your actions reflect your words.

Well, my personal estimate is that’s probably going to lie somewhere between six and 12 million.
That’s between 14 and eight million fewer people than currently inhabit Australia. Flannery has two children; will he allow them to live?
