Despite the similarities in their names, the Nationals in Australia should not be confused with New Zealand’s National party. There are similarities, of course – the Nationals are in coalition, after all, with the real trans-Tasman cousin to National, the Liberal Party – but key differences. The Nationals are what
Does Marcia Langton ever actually listen to herself? Does this “academic”, feted by the left as a supposedly powerhouse intellect, actually believe the garbage she spouts? Nonsense, for instance, such as claiming that Aborigines have occupied Australia “for millions of years”, or lauding Bruce Pascoe’s make-believe taradiddle, Dark
Journalist Tim Pool calls the modern left a “low-information” “cult”. He’s not wrong. If you’ve ever tried to reason with a cultist, you’ll know just how immune they are to any information that contradicts their worldview. It’s not a matter of just disagreeing: they simply
Ever notice that, while visitors to Islamic countries are forced to abide by Muslim prescriptions, Muslims violently resist conforming to cultural expectations in other countries? Consider, for example, powerful, feminist female politicians dutifully donning hijab on state visits to Muslim countries – or even in their own countries, when it comes

Last week was a perfect storm of polling disasters for the Labour Party. It started with the Roy Morgan poll, the The Post poll, then Talbot Mills (Labour’s own pollster) and finally the Taxpayers’ Union poll. All saying the same thing: Labour’s support has cratered from the 2020
In his excellent memoir-cum-how-to book on indie film-making, Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Films fame had strong words for his critics. Responding to sneers that his movies had no moral value, Kaufman agreed – and that that was the point. So what, he said, if Bloodsucking Freaks had
In Joe Haldeman’s classic SF novel, The Forever War, a future world-government socially engineers a population of indeterminate, uniformly vaguely brown, non-ethnicity – and 100 per cent homosexuality. The latter is engineered as a form of population control. Breeding is solely by cloning, and heterosexuality is socially abhorrent.

We used to say, “Only in America” to describe some outlandish news headline. Americans would probably beg to differ: “Only in Florida”, they might say. Whatever’s in the water in the Sunshine State (meth and hallucinogens, apparently), any headline beginning with “Florida Man…” is guaranteed to be a doozy.
One major reason that the Republic referendum sunk ignominiously in 1999 was the overriding perception that it was all by and for the elite. The sight of a clique of hand-picked politicians and activists whooping it up in Canberra, at the aptly named “Con-con”, was just the start.
A mother in Atlanta complaining that her daughter’s school segregates classes into black and white. Surely a headline from the Jim Crow days, pre-Brown versus Board of Education? No, it’s modern America, under the spell of “Critical Race Theory”. And segregation is back in a big way.
Lots of people hate the French. They cite all manner of reasons for doing so, however erroneous. “Surrender monkeys”? Never forget that the French sacrificed around 20 million of their own to stop the first march of German militarism. Even before surrendering in the face of the second, some 73,

It is very tough for a government to win re-election when two-thirds of voters think the country is heading in the wrong direction. But that is exactly where Chris Hipkins’s Labour Party finds itself: between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Nearly two-thirds of New
