Reference :- Peta Credlin is holding the fort at Sky News . Where are the men ?

Reference :-   Poor Peta Credlin is pretty much the only news anchor at Sky News doing much at the moment .  What happened to Andy Bolt and Paul Murray ?  Even Chris Kenny is somewhat quiet .

It must be pretty difficult , Peta.  As usual it's the men who fold first , and the strongest of the women have to carry on .  And who do they give you to interview , for heaven's sake  ?  Other female reporters and Mr Campbell Newman , who played the Queensland economy like a man with no lips plays a bugle .  

I hope you have have let Mr Morrison know about the consequences of sacking key members of the public service .  Young Campbell did that , and the next job to go was his own .  Mr Morrison might have got away with his recent puerile display of muscle flexing , but if he keeps sacking people  , the same fate awaits him .  Even if he does pretend it's for reasons of cost cutting and efficiency .

So Peta , getting back to what has become of the the chaps at Sky , do you think it's the relentless avalanche of evidence supporting the climate scientists ?   And , perhaps , the way big business , banks ,  insurance companies , and even our regulatory authority , APRA , have decided they must factor the devastating effects of climate change into their strategies .   It always seems to me that once the boys with the folding stuff start damage control , it means damage is definitely about to happen.   When my son , Ken junior , was thinking of taking up smoking , I told him to look at life insurance premiums .  Smokers pay more for a reason , son , I said .  That certainly convinced him .

Anyway , my advice to the chaps at Sky is to simply fess up and call it quits . It can be done with dignity , and no loss of respect from the viewers .  Something like this could suffice .   "  We apologise for relentlessly misleading the public regarding  climate change so we could line our pockets . We admit that we know absolutely nothing about the science , and to be honest , more fool you , you bunch of pathetic suckers , for listening to us ".  

 Of course , Rowan Dean won't run with an apology.  I fear he was not blessed with a full complement of chromosomes at birth , and probably read Kurt Vonnegut's novel about Ice 9 as a youngster, making him , forever , a traumatized little pest .  

  But we all have a cross to bear , don't we ?  

Your comrade , Ken .
