Explosive new revelations from Anthony Fauci’s former boss have lent fresh credence to the lab-leak theory of Covid’s origins — and the cover-up that followed. In a recent, multi-post analysis, I detailed how the trail of the origins of Covid, while almost hopelessly obscured by the Chinese government, most
In one of the most shocking cases of child abuse possibly ever reported in Australia, a former childcare worker has been charged with more than 1,600 offences. The charges include rape, against 91 girls, at a dozen early learning centres in Brisbane and Sydney, and overseas. The offences allegedly
Like justice, the wheels of science at times grind slowly. Scientific fraud is relatively easy to perpetrate — far harder and more arduous to expose and call to account. But the wheels of science — real science, not “The Science©” — grinds as exceedingly fine as those of justice. And both are slowly

According to the recent Roy Morgan New Zealand Poll for July 2023, the right-leaning National/Act coalition has surged ahead with 47.5% support, up by 2.5% since June. By contrast, the governing Labour/Greens coalition saw a decline in support to 35%, down by 5%. The rise in
The “Indigenous Voice” referendum campaign is collapsing around the ears of the “Yes” side — and they’re shrieking blame at everyone but themselves. For months — ever since PM Anthony Albanese unveiled the referendum question — the poll momentum has been steadily downward. The last polls indicated Victoria as the lone Mainland
Once again, the difference between a conspiracy theory and reality turns out to be just a matter of waiting. From vaccine passports to 15-minute cities, every time the media-political class labels something a “conspiracy theory”, you can bet good money that it’ll take a couple of months, tops, before

After three years of Covid-19 propaganda, it’s really no surprise to find people still wandering around claiming Jacinda saved us from Covid. They are Ardern’s zombie zealots, coached to wilfully ignore the science and cling to Ardern’s Covid rhetoric still thrust upon us on a daily basis.

The Greens love to lecture us about evidence-based policy, but strangely they never seem to produce any such evidence when it comes to their own policies. Chloe Swarbrick has her knickers in a bunch over Labour’s weak policy response to ram raiders. Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick has hit out
In the previous post, I looked at how Australian history, in the popular imagination and in academic circles, is dominated by narratives that are too often spun out of little but outraged assertion and fanciful interpretation. On the other hand, careful examination of primary sources, many of which are only
It’s commonly assumed that cities are wildernesses for wild animals. In fact, wild animals often thrive in cities: everything from magpies and lorikeets, to bandicoots and possums in Australia, to coyotes and white-tail deer in America – even cougars in suburban Los Angeles (the four-footed kind, to be clear). Why
Theodore Dalrymple has observed that any nation earning praise from the Economist is a surer sign than any of its imminent demise. By extension, then, damnation from the same publication must stand as a certainty that a nation is doing something very, very right. In this case, it’s El
