Censorship of climate skeptics in Australia not complete enough?

Warmists can't stand any crack in their media monopoly -- so they are furious that Australia's national broadsheet (a Murdoch publication) does sometimes let some skeptical light shine on climate matters
"There’s a media war going on here in Australia. At stake is free speech — but the discussion about it is completely disguised and parades instead as a debate about “balance” in science reporting.

It’s reached the point where our national masthead ["The Australian" newspaper] felt the need to issue a whole feature article rebutting their critics (Climate debate is no place for hotheads) which includes quote after quote of The Australian’s pro man-made-global-warming editorials.

But why under the Goddess of Free Press should any serious newspaper feel required to declare their belief in a particular scientific theory?

The Australian has been taking heat from the rest of the Australian media (notably Fairfax and ABC employees, and a couple of book writing academics). It’s not that The Australian has held back on publishing the illogical, unreasonable PR, and baseless posturing of vested-carbon-scare-interests, no sir. They are just as ready as anyone to publish the unscientific Lomborgs, Orsekes, and Hamilton’s.

The real issue at stake is censorship. The rest of the media thinks The Australian should do more of it. They disparage The Australian in scathing terms, not for what it won’t publish, but because it does not shield the dumb punters enough. The Australian commits the sin of giving some column space to people who don’t hold UN-approved-views.

So the climate-establishment and their willing minions crave censorship — and why wouldn’t they, they’re practical people. They know that if skeptical writers were allowed to publicize their opinions along side the professors who keep spouting logical errors and baseless insults, then the grand facade of the carbon scare would be cremated by Christmas, captured in comedy by New Year, and forgotten by Australia Day.

Obviously, you can keep any scam alive if you push it hard enough and long enough. Even fatAlgore has walked away from this nonsense (after making a few hundred million) because of so much "documented, scientific evidence" which shows that it's all just more left-wing political bullshit.

It's not about the climate, and never has been. It's about, CONTROL!!

Get ready Australia for a new round of AGW crap as the promises of the PM are put aside and a carbon tax heads to the top of the political agenda thanks to the latest round of climate talks and UN scare mongering. To call it a scam is an understatement. It is social justice aka wealth redistribution to be forced on us by the 'progressives'. I don't know how the term progressive came about but it stands for robbing the people who work hard to give to the idle. Case in point the so called student unrest in England. This has been staged by progressives with an ulterior agenda. Progressives are like pedophiles in that they groom young minds into believing what is happening to them is good for them. In this case young minds are being screwed by socialists.

It is time that there was some serious house cleaning in our universities to remove the grant seeking fraudsters and students were taught how to think for themselves in order not to become leftist lambs being fattened for the battle against the truth.

If the truth were to shine through all media would allow honest discussion and allow the emperor's AGW clothes to be revealed as the socialist scam that it is.
