Are We There Yet?

Are We There Yet?

The pursuit of a race-based society is repeatedly thrust up my nose. It’s offensive, unnecessary and impossible to justify, but a little historical reflection provides hope. Racial inequality can’t last because it doesn’t actually work. Arbitrarily drawing a line between races to assign superiority and inferiority

Can We Have a New Transport Minister Please

I don’t really know why Michael “Napoleon” Wood is the Transport Minister. Everything he announces or does just ends in a complete mess. It isn’t surprising really, because his sole qualification and work experience was in measuring the inside seams of bankers buying cheap suits at Hugh Wright.

Not the “Hate” They Were Hoping For

When Planet of the Apes’ displaced astronaut, Taylor, begs for an answer to the mystery of just what planet he’s landed on, wise monkey Dr Zaius warns him: Don’t look for it, Taylor. You may not like what you find. When he saw the Statue of Liberty in

Relax and Have That Steak

If we never ate the foods that were supposedly going to kill us, we’d never eat anything but mung beans and water. Except, wait: water toxemia is a thing, and mung beans not only interact with certain medications, but are at higher risk of carrying harmful bacteria. Guess we

Sweat Breaks Out at Voice HQ

Sweat Breaks Out at Voice HQ

As I’ve reported for The BFD, Anthony Albanese’s “Indigenous Voice” referendum is in deep trouble. Successive polling shows support collapsing as voters confront the reality of inserting racial separatism into the Constitution. The referendum is on a trajectory to match the 1999 Republic referendum: despite across-the-board

How Can a Brown Neo-Nazi Be Real?

Do you find it weird that Mauricio Garcia, the Texas mass-shooter, might be a neo-Nazi? You’re not alone. Plenty of people, especially on the right side of politics, find it so weird that they’re convinced the whole thing is a psy-op. For what it’s

There’s a Reason You Don’t Do This

There is an unwritten rule that you don’t bring family members into the political debate. If you do you run the risk of blowback on you, and worse, on them. They didn’t choose to be involved and every time I see it happen I cringe. After the budget,

How’d Africa Go Once the Colonials Left?

How’d Africa Go Once the Colonials Left?

Bruce Gillies’ paper The Case for Colonialism provoked a storm and resulted in something not seen since Galileo and Lysenko: a double-blind, peer-reviewed scientific paper was memory-holed under threat of violence. That this dangerously regressive step went almost unremarked apart from near-universal approval from the academic

Not the Only Gays in the Village

Much has been made of polling that purports to show that X per cent of GenZ “identify as” Alphabet People. Which, to those of us with one foot in the realm of sanity and the other in world of experience, tells us something pretty obvious: young people are ignorant, easily-

Not Even Cain Screwed Victoria like This

Not Even Cain Screwed Victoria like This

Thirty years ago, a Labor government all-but bankrupted the state of Victoria. Against a torrent of hate and vilification from the left, Jeff Kennett and Alan Stockdale did the hard yards of rebuilding the state’s economy. And Victorians promptly elected another Labor government. In fact, Labor have run
