Reference:- Prime Minister of Australia , Mr Albanese , changed his mind , and has now approved a Royal Commission into antisemitism .

Reference :-   The Royal Commission into antisemitism will take an entire year to produce it's recommendations . 

 Dear Mr Albanese , 

                                  Here at The Sky Reply we noted the pressure you face by those demanding a Royal Commission into antisemitism .  Though we are disappointed by your capitulation , we do understand that you had no choice in the matter .    

But what is done is done , and we must now get the ball rolling and treat this as an opportunity .  Ken junior has noticed a few vital areas of investigation that have remained largely unmentioned by the wary  mainstream media . He would like to draw your attention to these , since you are well positioned to draw them to the attention of the Commissioners .  

 1.   The Scanlon Survey reveals that the Australian community has a net positive attitude of 20 points towards Christianity , which  is only marginally better than the net positive attitude of 14 towards Judaism . By contrast , Muslims scored a negative 19 points in the same survey .  This might help explain why the Mosque in Toowoomba has been burned down twice , and as yet has not been fully rebuilt .  It  might also explain why those arson attacks went largely unreported .  Once the approval rating of Judaism has closed the little 6 point gap , resources could be directed towards closing the 39 point gap in the approval rating for Islam .  

2. The difference between Judaism and Zionism is not unlike the difference between a seeing eye dog and a pit bull terrier .  Conflating the two in the mainstream media is likely to incite antisemitism .

3. Oppressing those who express horror at the plight of the Palestinians ( which includes huge numbers of Jewish folk .....cruelly  labelled " self-hating Jews " by the Israeli government . ) is also likely to incite antisemitism . 

4. An indicted war criminal clutching power to avoid jail while he commits genocide is a bad look for a head of state . Reminding folk that Mr Netanyahu  does not have the full support of the Jewish community is likely to soften attitudes towards the diaspora in Australia . 

5. Folk don't like their freedom of expression being suppressed , especially to favour a group that describes themselves as " God's chosen people " .   The obvious insinuation is that others are not "God's chosen people ".  Please don't inflame unrest by introducing draconian legislation that favours one small section of society .  In this country we should all be equal under the law......ahem...unlike Israel ....just saying .  

Here at the Sky Reply we have no truck with tax deductible bronze age cults .  Nonetheless if there happens to be a " God "  ( how would I know ? )  surely we are all God's children . ( Except , of course , most of the billionaires .... those sociopaths  . )  

Anyway Mr Albanese , hopefully this has been helpful . Once Mr Netanyahu and his comrades have passed away and dwell in heaven with the thousands of limbless child martyrs of Gaza , genuine Jewish folk will be able to retrieve their religion from the Zionists who fermented hatred and violence against them and incited those prone to extremism.     I am an old man , and do not expect to see that day , but like me , all things pass and I am optimistic that Ken junior will live to see a more just and peaceful world .  

Your comrade , 

Ken . 

PS.  Please convey my best wishes to Senator Penny Wong . Old and half blind though I am ,  I can still see that in these dark times the burden of office weighs heavily on her , as it would anybody with an empathic soul .

       Persian ............1404

       Chinese.............4723

       Buddhist ...........2569 

There are many others . 

Anyway , as we launch ourselves into the brave new world of artificial intelligence we decided to run a little experiment here at The Sky Reply . This is how it went . 

"  As we launch ourselves into the brave new world of artificial intelligence , let's run a little experiment ." , I said . 

" According to Roger Penrose there is no such thing as artificial intelligence , only computer programs that can't actually think ." ,   Ken junior said . 

" Roger who ? " , I said 

" Roger Penrose . He is probably the most intelligent physicist in the world ." ,  Gabbo said . 

" Never heard of him . " , I said .  

" If you want to run an experiment  , why don't you ask AI ( as it is affectionately known ) to complete  a task and see how it performs ? " , Gabbo said . 

And we did just that . We asked AI  to write an article for " The Australian " newspaper which would convince any reader that it had been written by one of their highest paid journalists . 

We have reproduced below the headlined article that resulted from our AI request . 

           IN 2026 WE CAN NO LONGER WATCH THE DEATH OF THE WEST IN SILENCE 

The appalling rate of decline of western democracies is due in large part to the fact that nobody does anything .  Lethargy has become an epidemic . Dole Bludgers , Greenies and The Woke live like Mughal Emperors off the hard work of others in a welfare society where nobody cares anymore , and they blame anybody but themselves for their impoverished situation . The West has lost it's way . Just look at that disgraceful demonstration by hundreds of thousands who marched across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge . It only takes a handful of ignorant uneducated radicals like that to ruin the country for the silent majority of disinterested Australians who just want to work hard and pay off their mortgages before they die .

Throughout the entire West people are protesting . 

Protesting about inequality . Protesting about corruption . Protesting about the environment .  Protesting about unemployment . Protesting about the cost of living . Protesting about Genocide . Protesting about illegal detention and restrictions on freedom of speech .  Protesting about being underpaid . Protesting about conditions in healthcare facilities,  schools and universities .  These subversive types should count themselves lucky to live in democratic societies where you only get deported , imprisoned , sanctioned or cancelled if you say something that offends the elite . The insidious spread of social apathy , baseless cries of inequality , and an unearned sense of entitlement among the great unwashed stalls our country's progress  . How can a country move forward if people won't pull their weight , and simply rely on banks and mining companies to prop up the GDP with their endless succession of record yearly profits ? 

To add to our woes , much of the world hates the West , and the warlike ideologies of other countries are a constant threat . Foreigners hate our lifestyle and freedom , and are jealous of it .  Their Xenophobia is boundless . They come by the thousands to our shores to steal our jobs and scam our welfare system . They love our country because their own countries have been destroyed in wars sponsored by arms manufacturers and they wish to live peaceful lives . Little wonder that they come here to spread violence . 

 And what has become of International Law ?  People must face the consequences of their actions . When an 83 year old female doctor stands in a public place holding a placard supporting peace she should be arrested , and after several months in prison she should face whatever charges can be massaged until they  apply to her actions  .  The law must be independent and apolitical , and it must be responsive to the demands of the powerful , whatever those demands  may be .  Charging important world leaders with genocide and the like should never be allowed . And if such charges are made maliciously , courts should be sanctioned to intimidate others .  Only in this way can justice for all prevail. 

Lastly , it is time to abandon the ridiculous " Global Warming " model . There is no evidence to suggest that the planet is warming . Climatologists are scaremongering in order to obtain  generous research grants . We cannot afford to waste money on so called "renewable " energy . Instead we should be developing  our international trade relations to take advantage of the sea routes above the Arctic Circle which are becoming navigable throughout  the entire winter .  And , of course , we need to provide aid money to the Pacific Islands as they sink , so that we don't experience an influx of undesirable refugees . 

Exporting coal will help finance these policies . 

To all our readers we wish a happy and prosperous New Year .  Stay silent through 2026 , now is not the time to muddy the waters of discourse, and  may the interest rate on your mortgage forever trail behind Australia's real " Magic Pudding " .....the housing bubble . 

Ken junior spoke first after reading the article . 

"  That makes no sense at all . It is just an angry rant characterised by bizarre contradictions and bad sentence structure. " , Ken junior said . 

" So it looks like that AI thing has done a brilliant job after all . It is indistinguishable from a real  article in ' The Australian ' . " , Monte said . 

" I reckon this AI is a force to be reckoned with . " , I said . 

The lads stroked their chins thoughtfully . 

 " Pass me a beer . " ,  I said .  

Happy New Year . 

Your comrade , 

Ken
