Like We Should Make Fun of NZ
As I asked recently, Can NZ join a military pact without having a military to speak of? I was referring, of course, to current talks between the Chris Hipkins and Anthony Albanese, and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin, with a view to New Zealand

Time to Stare Down the Political Pipers
Over the weekend I was reading an article from Reclaim the Net about the revelations that the Biden White House worked hand in glove with Facebook to demonise and destroy what they described as the “Disinformation Dozen”. It was fascinating: Calling somebody a member of the “Disinformation Dozen” – there’s
Do You Want the Narratives of Aus History or the Facts? Pt 1.
Academic historians are an odd bunch. Especially in Australia. They’re all too ready to write up fairy-stories and garbled oral legends as “history”, but not much interested, it seems, in actual, documented, primary sources. For instance, peer-reviewed Australian journals cite the “memories” of an Aboriginal stockman in the Northern

He Who Shall Not Be Named
If you’re an Australian of a certain age, you’ll remember when Queensland was a byword for corruption and police brutality. But the “Moonlight State” has long been left in the shade by Dandrewstan, Victoria. As we saw during the anti-lockdown protests, Victoria Police have got the whole brutality
‘EVS Are a Bit Shite’, #31
Imagine if a service station could randomly refuse to refill your car. Welcome to yet another entry in the very lengthy ledger of why EVs are a bit shite. Queensland risks putting the brakes on the transition to electric vehicles if a state-owned energy company is given the power to
Bulldozing a Forest to Save the Planet
When Heather du Plessis-Allan laughed in the face of a spoilt-brat “Climate Striker”, she was only saying out loud what we all know: these people are the biggest hypocrites on the face of the planet. It’s impossible, after all, not to notice just how selective the Climate Cult’s
