So-called Sovereign citizens write to the Department of Justice and corporate bodies declaring they have removed themselves from any contract with the state and as of that date they are no longer subject to the laws of the land. Megan Gordon down in Nelson is trying to find a
“Truth telling” is supposedly at the core of the “Uluru statement”, the foundational document of the “Indigenous Voice” referendum. There’s precious little truth to be had from its proponents, though. And the mendacity goes far, far beyond PM Anthony Albanese’s and Minister Linda Burney’s constant prevarifications and
To a hammer, as the saying goes, everything looks like a nail. That goes for both extremes of the pandemic narratives, the “Covidiots” and the “Covidians” as I dub them (before outraged readers jump in the comments, I use these terms to refer only to the true nutters of both
It’s the same old cycle that’s been going on for almost as long as Australia’s been a nation: catastrophic bushfires result in an official inquiry. That inquiry invariably recommends that state authorities engage in vigorous fuel-reduction activity (i.e. controlled burning) during the winter months, to
Anyone who thinks we’ll keep on using fossil fuels forever is a fool. Anyone who says we’re on the cusp of abandoning them forever is either a bigger fool — or a liar. Fossil fuels by their very nature cannot last forever. But they’re not about to run

Three polls within a week tell the story that many have been longing to hear: Labour’s bubble has burst, and they are now circling the drain. The latest Newshub/Reid Research poll reflects both the Taxpayers’ Union/Curia poll and the Roy Morgan Poll. The New Zealand public has
As Midnight Oil’s Peter Garrett so woefully demonstrated, it’s one thing to shout right-on slogans in catchy pop songs, quite another to deliver effective policy-making in the real world. The same could be said for Yothu Yindi’s 1991 hit, Treaty. Infectious dance-floor fodder, certainly.
In an ominous sign for premier Dan Andrews, Victorian cross-benchers have unanimously backed a parliamentary inquiry into his government’s scrapping of the 2026 Commonwealth Games. These are the same cross-benchers who were rusted solidly onto “Dictator Dan” right through the pandemic. Now they’ve joined the opposition
The current parlous state of the Liberal-National coalition parties in Australia has the mainstream media and the green-left (a tautology: I apologise) cock-a-whoop. “This is the end of the Tories!”, they crow. Certainly, it may seem that way — at least, if you ignore 100 years of
Just how much damage to so-called “puberty blockers” inflict on children? The first thing that must be considered is that one of the most common puberty-blockers, Lupron, is in fact a chemical castration drug, frequently used to punish sex offenders. That aside, though, what of the claims by
