In 1983, Julie Brown released her sadly underrated pop classic, I Like ‘Em Big and Stupid. The song’s uber-Valley Girl protagonist yearns for a “Superman with a lobotomy”. Authoritarian governments would concur, especially if one translates Superman to its German original Ubermensch. Authoritarians like their bootboys to follow orders,
As international law expert Natasha Hausdorff admonished a right-on BBC reporter, when it comes to Israel-Palestine, a great many people are “desperately ignorant, yet highly opinionated”. None more so than green-left politicians like Australia’s Mehreen Faruqi, who gibbers nonsense such as that Israel is a “coloniser”. A ludicrous nonsense
It’s a commonplace that C. S. Lewis’ Narnia stories “are a Christian allegory”. Which, at a cursory glance, most of us assume even as children. Once the penny drops that Aslan is Jesus, it all seems to fall into place. The idea of Narnia-as-allegory has such wide currency that

Bryce Edwards is the latest media luvvie to have a crack at the negotiations like a petulant child, except this time he is attacking Christopher Luxon for an apparent lack of skill in negotiating. The media speculation is starting to get tiresome. It is even more tiresome when Edwards references
Here are the replays of The Crunch. This week’s guests were Gary Moller and Graham Davis Gary Moller joins Cam to discuss strategies for stroke prevention and recovery. Graham Davis joins Cam to discuss the almost Byzantine nature of Fijian politics. Enjoy! Help Keep The BFD Alive We are
There is one thing I am positive about. The average Kiwi is sick of the constant bullying from the Maori elite and now in turn most of us want the Government departments to be referred to again in English. If you enjoyed this article please share it using the share

“If the bell tolls for Israel, it won’t just toll for Israel, it will toll for all mankind,” Bob Hawke once said. It’s a sad reminder of just how far the Labor Party has slid into the moral abyss that Hawke’s moral clarity has been replaced by
Compare the two headlines: ‘Unequivocal proof’ Hamas used hospital and IDF claims to find Hamas ‘command centre’ in Al-Shifa hospital as WHO calls raid ‘totally unacceptable’ Can you guess which one comes to us from the ABC, Australia’s taxpayer-funded national broadcaster? One directly asserts (via quotation) that Hamas used
In a seemingly bizarre response to the out-of-control spiral of anti-Semitism across the globe, the Biden administration has announced that its priority is… “tackling Islamophobia”. Similarly, when Jews were attacked in Caulfield, Melbourne’s Jewish heartland, Foreign Minister Penny Wong wittered about “Islamophobia”. But such responses aren’t as mysterious
Sir Mark Oliphant has long been a darling of the Australian left. Not only was he a pioneering nuclear physicist, but he was also tacitly blackballed by the Americans and the Menzies government in the 50s (call it an early form of shadowbanning). Nothing was more calculated to endear someone

Watching the media be-clowning themselves as coalition negotiations continue ignoring them is hilarious. They are being made fools of by politicians who are well used to their pathetic carry-on and who have disarmed the media by conducting negotiations away from parliament and mostly on private property. Lloyd Burr is so
