“If you build it,” the famous line from Field of Dreams goes, “They will come.” Or, more accurately, if you put out a bowl of sugar, you’re gonna get ants. And if you put out a gargantuan, overflowing pot of taxpayer’s money, you’re going to attract every

Some years ago, the ABC featured neo-Nazi Blair Cottrell on one of its interminable “panel discussions”. ABC management purported to be so concerned by what Cottrell might say, that they put the program on a ten-second delay. Fast-forward a few years, and they’re giving “pro-Palestine” advocates a national stump
It’s been a wild couple of weeks for the rule of law in Australia. Police in NSW ignored a Muslim mob chanting “Gas the Jews”, but arrested a Jewish man trying to attend a vigil for the slaughtered of October 7. Then, while Australia’s remaining Holocaust survivors issued
Wow, you guys over the ditch thought you had landed a dud when Nanaia Mahuta finagled the Foreign Minister’s job? BFD readers, I give you Penny Wong. Wong’s plain uselessness at her job is only heightened by the fact that she is supposed to be the brains trust
Imagine if they preceded the opening of Australia’s peak science body with a mass led by a Pentecostal preacher. The collective shrieking of the chattering classes would be deafening. But, put on a bit of oogabooga mysticism, and suddenly, everyone comes over all solemn and worshipful. That’s what

Has there ever been a more useless, nasty bunch of wreckers in Australia’s parliament than the Albanese government and the Greens? The Greens at least have the poor excuse of being genetically programmed to blindly follow violent extremists, from the founding of the Green movement by ex-Nazis, to the
As naked anti-Semitic hate rages and marches by the tens of thousands in Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Wellington, the eagle-eared inquisitors who’ve been able to hear a so-called “dog whistle” at one hundred paces have suddenly gone stone deaf. They’ll know hate when they see it, they say
Cosmic horror writer H. P. Lovecraft was a lifelong atheist who espoused what he called a “Cosmic” perspective on life. From the viewpoint of an infinite universe, all of mankind’s worries, glories, strivings and achievements were utterly insignificant. Far from depressing, he argued, it was in reality a comforting
Australian PM Anthony Albanese clearly took to heart the adage, “Never set up an inquiry unless you know in advance what its findings will be”. After all, his so-called “Covid inquiry” was so obviously set up to be a whitewash — for instance, by excluding every action taken by state governments,
