Lambie Takes Aim At Defence Brass

Lambie Takes Aim At Defence Brass

Tasmanian independent MP Jacqui Lambie blew any chance of getting my vote when she shouted and bullied us in support of vaccine mandates. But Lambie’s Covidian bluster cut to the heart of both her problems and her appeal. Lambie is, if nothing else, passionate about issues. Including Australia’s

Making the ‘No’ Case for Us, Again

Making the ‘No’ Case for Us, Again

If the increasingly shrill and unhinged screeching from the “Yes” campaigners is anything to go by, the “Voice” referendum is losing badly. In echoes of the Brexit campaign, the Establishment shills are stopping at nothing to scaremonger, brow-beat and finger-wag their opponents. Including lying to our faces. Race

How Chris Hipkins Is Failing Us All

Damien Grant wrote an absolute blinder of an article on Sunday. In it he writes about the moral and competency failures of the Prime Minister Chris Hipkins. These are inconvenient truths that Hipkins and Labour would rather keep on the down low. But Damien Grant has said it out loud,

Will Hip Pocket Slug Wake up Victorians?

Will Hip Pocket Slug Wake up Victorians?

What will it take for Australia’s wokest state to wake up to itself? The world’s longest lockdowns didn’t do it. Staggering debt didn’t do it. Teargas and rubber bullets on the steps of the Shrine of Remembrance didn’t, either. Perhaps getting smashed in the hip

This Is How You Don’t Need Government

The default argument from wannabe socialists is, “But without government who will…” provide X or Y utility? As Aboriginal leaders in a remote Australian town are finding out, the people are quite capable of doing what we’re told only the government can. Aboriginal elders in western New South Wales

Dutton Hits Albo Where It Counts

Dutton Hits Albo Where It Counts

Post-election opposition leader is one of the most thankless jobs in politics. Almost always, it’s a poisoned chalice of party dysfunction and abysmal polling numbers. Who, after all, remembers Brendan Nelson, Billy Snedden or Bill Hayden? But Peter Dutton is proving to be made of sterner stuff. While

Deep State Turned Loose on Taibbi

Deep State Turned Loose on Taibbi

As the new miniseries White House Plumbers shows, the reaction of the Nixon administration to the Pentagon Papers was to turn the Deep State apparatus onto leaker Daniel Ellsberg. But the comical, Keystone Kops misadventures of Hunt, Liddy and co were nothing compared to the dark machinations of the Obama

Oh, What a Tangled Web We Weave

Remember the fuss when Judith Collins called out Arena Williams over her tweet about her father now being able to heat his room and pay for his prescriptions? The media covered Judith’s ‘mean’ tweet, but didn’t actually look into the circumstances of Arena’s father. We did that.

Should We Really Ban Salutes?

Should We Really Ban Salutes?

There is no free speech without hate speech. That is a simple fact. That doesn’t mean we have to like genuine hate speech – even if anyone could accurately define it – or even listen to it. But banning free speech is worse than any hate speech you can name. As

Clean Energy From Nothing but Air?

For the last century, Jeremiahs have been predicting that the world will imminently run out of oil. So-called “Peak Oil” has enjoyed one of its perennial revivals in tandem with Climate Change hysteria, but the idea that we must immediately drop fossil fuels because they’re on the brink
