Te Pati Maori had a little tantrum, hurled insults at the King, swore an oath to a half-wrecked document that the Crown was a party to, and then eventually caved and swore a proper oath. What does it all mean? Te Pati Maori ran its own swearing in ceremony

That much is clear from the Australian journalists’ union’s open letter calling to reject “bothsidesism” on Gaza. Meaning, in other words, that journalists only regard one side of
At a wine’n’cheese beano this weekend, I got talking to a person of the young persuasion. In the course of the conversation, she mentioned that she had friends who had no idea who Hitler was. “I said to her, ‘you know, Adolf Hitler?’”. “I have no idea who
As I’ve written several times, if you want to picture an “institutional paedophile”, forget priests — picture a teacher, instead. Almost certainly, a female teacher approaching or in the throes of middle-age. That’s not to say that the churches don’t have a shameful record of past abuse
Move over Liz Warren and “Sacheen Littlefeather”(aka Maria Cruz) — there’s another Pretendian set to take the plastic war-bonnet of World’s Fakest Indian. For anyone under the age of 65, the name Buffy Sainte-Marie will mean nothing, but in the 60s and 70s, she was the

One-term prime ministers are not unknown in Australian politics, but for a while they were the exception rather than the rule. Fraser, Hawke and Howard ruled the Lodge for multiple terms. But Howard was the last to survive a first-term slump and win successive elections. In the years
Anyone who says you can’t pick your family has never met an ‘Aboriginal’ box-ticker. From out of thin air, these pasty-white wannabes are able to conjure an imaginary family of ‘Aboriginal ancestors’, guaranteeing a lifetime of unfettered access to welfare, promotions and sundry ‘indigenous’ benefits. Not to
Summer has barely started, and Boofhead’s already starting with the lame excuses for looming blackouts and brownouts. Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen will warn hostile actors could weaponise climate change to potentially sabotage Australia’s “fragile” energy networks, as severe weather events increase threats of global political
As BFD readers are no doubt aware, certain groups in New Zealand are continually over-represented in domestic violence and child abuse statistics. Things in Australia are little different.
