Before the election, you will recall that I told you, repeatedly, that National was not an agent of change. That they were the party of the status quo, preferring to manage what Labour has done, but more efficiently. They were asking you to vote for change but it is now
Science, no matter what the media and activists might screech at you, is never settled. In fact, it’s the essential nature of science that it must be subject to change. Often dramatic. Consider the paradigm shift of quantum physics in the early 20th century: suddenly a deterministic universe became
The Australian revolt against the politics of racial division was so overwhelming that the “Voice” referendum result was called in just 90 minutes of polls closing. The excuses and tantrums from the left started even earlier. One of the common themes of the refusal to accept the result is that
As I wrote recently, the ‘Palestinian-but-not-Hamas’ argument is as threadbare a fiction as arguing, in the 1930s, ‘German-but-not-Nazi’. Not all Palestinians voted for or fervently support Hamas, perhaps, but then, not all Germans did the Nazis, either. Even of those Germans who were members

What is it with humans and dicks? Freud was famously obsessed with phallic symbols. Urban warriors paint dicks on potholes to force councils to repair them. There’s a whole doodling board game dedicated to, well, drawing doodles on dicks. The Australian Electoral Commission has even confirmed that drawing a
In a key plot point in the Back to the Future films, Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), stuck in 1885, secretes the DeLorean time machine in an abandoned goldmine. Seventy years later, the machine is retrieved – dusty but intact and almost fully functional. The still, dry air of the mine, away

The legacy media may have clutched their pearls and shrieked when Donald Trump called them “the enemy of the people”, but a great many of the people agreed with him. And why wouldn’t they? Time and again, especially in recent years, the media have taken the side of the
