The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) has shown a severe lack of quality control in selecting some of the authors for its latest book, Climate Change: The Facts 2025,which challenges the unanimous findings of every major science academy in the world. Fabrications and dodgy scientific papers by some of its authors mean the book should sit on bookshelves with the likes of Journal of the Flat Earth Society, Fairies Photographed by Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, and The Hitler Diaries.

The newspaper has described Leader David Crisafulli and his shadow ministers as ‘a bunch of lazy, incompetent and irrelevant members’.
