The heading is Australia’s most outspoken commentators on how we should fight Islamic State after Paris attacks but more interesting is that at the end of the summaries, you can vote for your favourite position. The five positions in the order they are presented are:

Waleed Aly
Andrew Bolt
Australia’s Grand Mufti
Tony Abbott
Pauline Hansen

The methodology is, of course, skewed and there is little reason to take the results as much more than straws in the wind. But a more important consideration is that Tony Abbott and Pauline Hansen are politicians and therefore think in terms of practical policies, of actually doing things. The others have their expertise in explaining things. In most respects, Abbott and Bolt take the same position, but Andrew writes a blog and newspaper column while Tony had to find a policy that all within his party could accept, or at least live with, as a plan of action. Expressing opinions is easier than making policy, which is not a criticism but a fact of life.

Found at Andrew Bolt.
