My go-to litmus test for any kind of “diversity and equity” rhetoric or policy is simple: flip the script. If, for instance, it would be racist to forbid a black couple to adopt a white child, then, ipso facto, it’s racist to routinely forbid the adoption of Aboriginal children
Before the last election, Anthony Albanese promised “safe, minimal change”. It was a lie even bigger than Jacinda Ardern’s “open and transparent” whopper. Just as Ardern ran a regime of unprecedented, paranoid secrecy, Albanese has busily imposed an agenda of radical, race- and class-warfare antagonism. Last year, Albanese diligently
One of the most disastrous conceits of modern times is the assumption that computers are somehow infallible. This foolish assumption is usually made by people who, like monkeys banging a gun on a nut to crack it, don’t really understand the tools they are using. Just as the gun

Labour, along with their handmaidens in the complicit media, have launched a full-on attack against the Government over alleged conflicts of interest with ministers and the tobacco lobbyists. It’s been a rather forlorn attack, but along the way 1News has doxed the Prime Minister’s sister in law, and

If, like me, you were a nerdish kid in the ’70s, you were probably also a fan of the Leonard Nimoy-hosted TV series, In Search Of… It was, of course, just a part of the 1970’s weirdness that included everything from Chariots of the Gods? to “pyramid power” and
Back during the 2020 election campaign, when the right were gleefully hooting that Democrat candidate John Fetterman was a vegetable, I wasn’t buying it. Now, I was far from a fan of Fetterman at first. He came across as a work-shy trust-fund kid who’d decided politics was the

Rule of thumb: if a police official’s mouth is moving, he or she is probably telling a lie. Many years ago, a friend of mine who’d emigrated from China told me how refreshing it was to be able to hear anything apart from state propaganda. He referred to
It’s a sad state of affairs when a clown gives more sound legal advice than one of the nation’s supposedly top legal minds, but that’s life in a Clown World, I guess. While the NSW Chief Justice, like so many in his profession, not to mention the
It’s been three decades since the Muttonbirds wished they were in Wellington. These days, they might be inclined to revise that wish somewhat. After all, it’s only been one decade since John Key declared Wellington a “dying city”. It was controversial enough that Key had to retract his
As George Orwell wrote in 1943, in response to “progressive” hand-wringing over the bombing of German cities, “all talk of ‘limiting’ or ‘humanizing’ war is sheer humbug”. The opponents of the bombing, Orwell noted, still wanted the war to be won — they were not so foolish, at least, as to
