If the “Indigenous Voice” referendum is passed, it will turn Australia into a profoundly un-democratic state where racial privilege is the law of the land. Whether or not it passes, though, enough damage has been done: the process so far has trashed the spirit of the Constitution and skirted the
On Friday and Saturday, I assisted the Rebel News team with the New Zealand book launch of Avi Yemini’s new book, Rebel From the Start. For those who missed the Auckland and Wellington events, I have permission from Patrick Lim to use his footage of the Wellington event so
In the original film of The Exorcist, the demon that possesses young Regan is never named. But he is linked several times to an ancient statue, and amulet, of an ancient Mesopotamian demon. That demon is named explicitly as “Pazuzu” for the first time in the unfairly derided sequel, Exorcist
In a recent social media post, a confused wife and mother wondered what it is about sticks that so fascinates the male of the human species. When her son found a “pretty unremarkable” – she thought – stick, he and her husband colluded to sneak it home. “Why bring it home? It’

You know you’re in deep doo-doo when even Canada’s ruling politicians are more sensible than the clown-show running your own country. As Australia plunges deeper into housing crisis, everyone except the elite class knows that turbo-charged mass immigration is one of the prime causes. After all, you can’

I ask any person who really cares about our future and blindly believes that replacing Labour with National will be the panacea to change the current racist, co-governance course we are currently on to think and look again. George Orwell said, “We have now sunk to a depth of which
The late Carl Sagan praised the value of back-of-the-envelope calculations. Scribbling a few equations and approximate values “cut[s] through nonsense like a knife through butter”. Nonsense, though, is the stock-in-trade of the mainstream media — and most journalists seem incapable of performing even the most rudimentary calculations. I’m far
