What is the difference between a conspiracy theory and an actual conspiracy? Covid supplied the answer, which is time: the time taken for facts to become public knowledge. They told us Covid would kill 80,000 New Zealanders. Social distancing and masks stop the spread. Stay home and save lives.

There is constant noise coming from that group of silly old men, who believe they understand politics and the dire straits we New Zealanders now find ourselves in. These silly old duffers will grasp at any straw to put down NZ First, but at the same time will support the
Where would you expect to read about a major hospital with rats in beds, mice around the operating theatre, and cockroaches in the meal trays? The slums of Bombay? Squalid Venezuela? The “world’s worst”, in Guatemala? How about Dandrewstan? Victoria’s major trauma hospital The Alfred is being overrun
“Never hold an inquiry unless you know the outcome in advance,” as the saying goes. Anthony Albanese has barely announced his “Covid inquiry”, and we already know what the outcome will be. A whitewash, courtesy of a broken election promise. In January 2022, Albanese promised a royal commission into the
Is there still hope left for the West’s universities? Probably not, to be honest. Some are giving it the ol’ college try (pun intended) of course: New College of Florida, a public liberal arts college in Sarasota, has just abolished its Gender Studies department. Provoking the predictable howling fury
As I’ve asked several times, now, Is it Time to Bulldoze the Universities? Of course, I was half-joking when I first put the question. Only half. But less and less so, as the years have rolled on. Perhaps, though, there are less drastic alternatives. Just bulldoze a couple of

The fix result is in! The three lucky winners of the Win a Book Some Guy Scribbled In (better known as Shouting Across the Ditch, the first collected writings of Lushington D. Brady) competition have been decided. Using a mix of trans-Tasman rivalry, a game of eenie-meenie-minie-mo, and the scientific
More and more, it seems almost undeniable that schools are deliberately grooming generations of children who are righteously ignorant. Who cares if they can’t spell or do basic maths, so long as they can be relied on to “strike for climate”? Who cares if they don’t know that
Even if Australian PM Anthony Albanese survives the “Indigenous Voice” referendum, there’s an avalanche of political pain bearing down on him, courtesy of his government’s “Net Zero” obsession. Pollsters have noted that, as the Voice vote sinks lower and lower by the week, Australians are growing increasingly frustrated
For all that our mainstream media like to big-note themselves as “speaking truth to power”, the only real truth is that they’re the most abject, bootlicking cowards on the face of the planet. A lousy few million was all it took for the Ardern government to buy the NZ
Australia is renowned as the Land of Big Things. The Big Pineapple, the Big Banana, the Big Lobster. Here in Tasmania, we have the slightly less salubrious Big Potato, at Spreyton. It’s not Australia’s only Big Potato, of course — but even the one at Spreyton isn’t as
