It appears that Anthony Albanese and Jim Chalmers have made the same mistake as the Liberals: taking their traditional base for granted. Where the Liberals have deserted traditional conservatives, Labor have for even longer abandoned the blue-collar working-class. This is nowhere more apparent than in last week’s
When I returned to university to study journalism, it was quite an eye-opening process. I’m not just talking about the blatant left-wing bias of so many of the lecturers, who would spend entire lectures spouting conspiracies about Evil Rupert Murdoch and promoting “journalism through a Marxist lens”

Christopher Luxon is really living in cloud-cuckoo land. The poll numbers are so obvious that even Blind Freddy can see them. Christopher Luxon’s degrading personal popularity is hurting National’s chances. But he is adamant that they aren’t. National’s Christopher Luxon denies his leadership is holding
There’s a certain irony in elites finger-wagging we hoi polloi about “disinformation”. After all, they’re the ones telling us that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation”. Or funding the demented Kate Hannah prattling that healthy food and little blond girls are “right-wing extremism” and rewarding
It seems too good to be true: a Labor Treasurer delivering a budget surplus. It would, after all, be the first time that’s happened in nearly 40 years. Like all such fairy stories, if it sounds too good to be true, well, it kinda sorta isn’t… not wholly
You know, I don’t wholly dispute those welfare advocates who claim that the dole is difficult to live on. Seven hundred dollars a fortnight ($850 with rent assistance) isn’t a lot of money, for sure. But surely the point is that it’s not meant to be? After
Have you heard the latest shocking revelations about the Biden family and its corrupt business dealings? Well, you’re a BFD reader, which already means you’re a more-discerning news consumer, so you might have. But not if you were to rely on the mainstream media. Certainly not the

Heather du Plessis-Allan writes about the very low bar of expectations for people wanting to change the government at the election. It is a phenomenon I have noticed amongst our commenters: so desperate are they for a change of government that they’ll accept the average, the mild and
There was a good reason Dame Edna Everage hailed from the Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds. Melbourne was, after all, the home of her creator. Like Australia’s beloved television family The Sullivans, Barry Humphries grew up in the comfortably middle-class suburb of Camberwell in the 1930s. Dame Edna
The Sofronoff Inquiry into the handling of Brittany Higgins’ failed rape accusations just keeps on delivering. On the fourth day of questioning, the ACT Director of Public Prosecutions was squirming harder and faster than ever. On Wednesday, he sensationally claimed that there was a “political conspiracy” to stop the case
