Credit Where Credit Is Due
Yesterday I was awoken by many people messaging me about Nicky Hager getting an ONZM in the King’s Birthday Honours. They were wondering how I felt about that, asking whether or not I was outraged. My answer to them all left them bewildered and astonished. You see, I wished
The Ancient Origins of Maths
It’s become a common argument for Islamophiles to boast about Islam’s supposedly unique and essential contributions to science and mathematics. While certainly not as ludicrous as the nonsense spouted about “Maori science” and “Aboriginal astronomy”, it’s still over-egged garbage. While occasional bright sparks within Islamic empires
What Did the British Ever Do for Them?
In echoes of the unhinged fury that greeted Sir Bob Jones’ “Maori Gratitude Day” column, a whole lot of suspiciously pasty-faced “Aborigines” are getting their undies in a bunch over the suggestion that they ought to show a bit of thanks for the manifest benefits of colonisation. Ironic, really,
Groomers Kick an Own Goal
Self-owns can be pretty spectacular, in a car-crash sort of way. Take, for instance, Melbourne suspending its Sister-City relationship with St Petersburg because, “there is no room for city diplomacy with the brutal authoritarian”. Yes, that was from the home of Dictator Dan, who unleashed the world’
“EVS Are a Bit Shite”, #25
Everything that’s a bit shite about EVs is a long and ever-growing list. As we saw last week, they even make tyres worse: the extra weight of the Damned Things wears tyres faster and creates more pollution. In fact, for smugmobiles whose sole boast is supposedly cutting pollution,

Oh, So Now You’re Concerned?
After playing at being propagandists and Ardern’s little cheerleaders as she stomped all over our rights during Covid and after taking massive bribes in the form of funding from the Public Interest Journalism Fund, the legacy media are now all of a sudden concerned at the Government’s over-
A Sane Country Wouldn’t Ditch Coal
When Europeans arrived in Tasmania, they noticed an astonishing and puzzling thing. Despite living on an island, Tasmanians refused to eat fish. They hadn’t for 5,000 years. Despite unsubstantiated claims to the contrary, the middens are clear: Tasmanians stopped eating scaled fish about 3000 BC. The middens show
Will the Real AOC Twitter Account Please Stand Up?
As I recently wrote, one thing authoritarians really can’t stand is being made fun of. Mockery is the great leveller. It cuts down kings, tyrants and dictators. The Nazis pursued people for training their dogs to mock the Hitler salute. Jokes about Stalin were a direct ticket to the

Which Country Is Really the Safest From All the Others?
As China increasingly rattles its sabres at Taiwan, many China apologists and Western defeatists assume that it’s only a matter of time before the PLA simply hops across the Strait and takes Taiwan by force. There’s only one problem with this scenario: for all its military might, an
It’s Time to Push Back Against ‘ESG’
The Woke Masters of the Universe are emperors who not only have no clothes, they’re waving their dicks in our faces and telling us there’s nothing to see. As the PwC scandal in Australia shows, global corporations can wave as many Pride flags as they can buy, but
