Marmite or Vegemite? Winners Announced!

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-

Why Won’t They Teach Teachers to Teach?

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

Govt’s Future Is Bowen in the Wind

Govt’s Future Is Bowen in the Wind

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

Gutless Media Kiss the Rainbow Boot

Gutless Media Kiss the Rainbow Boot

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

Come See the Big Bunghole!

Come See the Big Bunghole!

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

Latest Poll: Labour Getting Cleaned Out

The latest 1News/Verian Poll is out and Labour’s poll disaster continues. This is now the eighth poll in a row showing them being bundled out in a blood bath. National has shed a bit of support too, but that is entirely consistent with normal polling patterns. National and

What They Won’t Say about Crime

What They Won’t Say about Crime

There’s been a notable surge in murders in the US, especially in the big cities. Nobody wants to talk about the multiple elephants at the crime scene, though. It started with a fight over sweet and sour sauce outside a busy McDonald’s. It ended with one teenage girl

Wind Farm Revolt Blows Ill for Govt

Wind Farm Revolt Blows Ill for Govt

The rural revolt against Labor’s “Net Zero” plans is a gathering storm that threatens to swamp the government in country seats. It’s hardly surprising that country people are arking up against this insanity, of course: after all, it’s country people who face the prospect of seeing their

Is This the ‘Unity’ and ‘Love’ They Promised?

They really can’t help themselves, can they? Every time the left warn us that the latest culture war they’ve ignited will cause division and hate, what they leave out is that it’s them bringing it. And every time they blatherskite about “love”, what they really mean is

Now Everyone Wants in on It

Here we go: everybody’s seen the “Voice” pot, and now they’re all lining up to pee in it. If one minority lobby group gets their own “voice to parliament”, well, the rest are going to screech for theirs, too. Why stop with Aborigines, after all? Sydney’s LGBT

They Can Hardly Stand on Their Record

They Can Hardly Stand on Their Record

Desperation is a stinky cologne, but now it’s all that Labour has got. They certainly can’t stand on their record, as they’ve achieved precious little other than a sea of red ink on the country’s balance sheet. All they’ve got is relentless negativity; the Nasty

‘EVS Are a Bit Shite’, #33

Another day, another hilarious story of another EV failure. I really have to thank Elon Musk and the Climate Cult: if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have an endless supply of these stories to mock. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Whether the cheap laughs

Boofhead Kicks a Nuclear Own Goal

I’m not saying Australia’s Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, is dumb, but if you want to keep him occupied, show him two shovels and tell him to take his pick. This is, after all, the guy who repeatedly asserts that wind and solar are the
