It’s a taxpayer funded bonfire: The billion dollar ABC does cut-n-paste
“journalism” from the largely taxpayer funded Monash Uni, which wrote a
one-sided, badly researched piece as advertising for The Australian
Conservation Foundation. Not only have Australians played cricket in 42
degree heat a thousand times before, but on days when the sun was
obscured by smoke from bushfires. It’s all easy t
