The newspaper takes a consistently contrarian view of climate science that is "sometimes...so astonishing as to be entertaining",.

In a note on The Australian website the papers Editor-in-chief, Chris Mitchell, states "we seek to take our readers beyond the 'spin' of the political, business and sport press release machinery."
