We all like to hate cyclists for being precious, self-righteous and over-full of their own entitlement. But there’s another group of road users very nearly as self-righteous and with a towering entitlement complex. Motorcyclists. You can hear the howls of outrage already. Because no one, not

Back in 2014 Nicky Hager wrote a book called Dirty Politics. In it, he accused me of having journalists in my back pocket and also accused me of “cash for content” activities. He was entirely wrong about that. But now a real “cash for content” scandal has erupted that threatens
A “trans” child, it is said, is like a vegan cat: you know someone else is really making the decisions. Increasingly, with “trans men” (girls who pretend to be boys) especially, the decisions are being made by their peer groups and the internet. It’s notable that girls identifying as
What is it with socialist governments and utterly failing to learn from already-failed housing schemes? Well, I guess if they were capable of learning from failure, they wouldn’t be socialists. Which is as poor an excuse as any for the Albanese government lining up to join the ranks

Hope springs eternal for the return of the thylacine. New scientific research related to another species, currently on the edge of extinction, may one day give such hopes some credence. Almost as common as dodgy “sightings” of the almost-certainly-extinct Tasmanian tiger, are hopeful speculations that, Jurassic Park-style,
It goes without saying that paedophiles don’t tend to brag about their crimes. Even obvious groomers either deny what they’re up to, or try and hide behind euphemisms like “Minor Attracted Persons”. So it’s not exactly surprising that even those closest to paedophiles often remain unaware of
“When you tear out a man’s tongue,” George R R Martin wrote in A Clash of Kings, “you are not proving him a liar: you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.” When governments, bureaucrats and Big Tech conspire to silence people online, it’
