With the former British chancellor, Rishi Sunak, openly wondering whether lockdowns were a good idea, when will the Australian political class and mainstream media admit that they were completely wrong, not only on lockdowns, but most other aspects of the response to Covid-19?

And if the elites could be so wrong on that, they should wonder about the government’s obsessive determination to reach 45 per cent CO2 emissions and 82 per cent reliance on ‘renewables’ by 2030, with the likelihood that all new mining projects will be blocked, as I explained last week.
