Anti-renewables campaigners woo Western Sydney Anti-renewables campaigners hosted a forum in Western Sydney that showed the movement’s pitch for picking up urban votes.

Barnaby also borrowed him...

"Nor did the audience seem enthusiastic about two speakers with science backgrounds promoting nuclear energy. One, Paul Vallejo, introduced himself as a former NASA engineer and wore a white lab coat “to mock the narrative science gatekeepers”."

Cringeworthy is putting it politely.

Tripp and crew seem to have been born out of the COVID/Freedom era - like so many.
