Many things have changed. Everyone smoked. Everyone went to the pub. It was cheap. Attending University was not the financial hurdle it is today. Join the students’ union, buy your textbooks and get a seasonal job during the Christmas New Year break with maybe some part-time weekend employment. If you
We are very pleased to announce a new service for ALL members of The BFD. The BFD in partnership with GCo Fuels has created a discounted fuel option. In these tough financial times anything that can save you precious dollars is something to be celebrated. We’ve worked hard to
“Palestine” is dirt-poor. It has one of the lowest GDPs per capita. But then, it’s Arab neighbours aren’t much better, and that’s even with massive natural resources, oil most notably. Yet, it’s neighbour Israel, which is also a desert country with no real natural resources, has
We live in a time of near-universal deceit, but one of the biggest lies sold to us is that “women never lie about rape”. Does anyone with half a working brain cell really believe that? Now, before the autistic screeching starts, I’m not saying that women always lie about
As I wrote recently, the NZ media greedily snatched the PIJF funding like the cheap whores they are, even though they would have happily put out for Labor for free. “Like the political nymphomaniac hookers they are, they just love doing it anyway: getting paid was a bonus.” And the

And uncharacteristically honest, for a politician, in contrast to the obvious lies of the likes of Kevin Rudd and Anthony Albanese, who promised “safe, minimal change” — and immediately proceeded to
Well, that’s the year pretty much done, and I’m pretty much done with it too. It’s been pretty tough and also pretty exhilarating. On the political front the year began with the tyrant discovering enough self-awareness to realise she was no longer the country’s saviour, rather

No wonder Bruce Lehrmann was grinning from ear to ear outside court. His defamation case against Channel Ten and Lisa Wilkinson is on a roll. Lehrmann is sueing the broadcaster and the journalist for defamation, over The Project’s scoop interview with former Canberra staffer Brittany Higgins, who claims she
My, my — what a difference an election or two can make. Last year, it was Australia leading New Zealand on regional defence, with Jacinda Ardern and Nanaia Mahuta undercutting our countries’ traditional allies at every step. Now, it’s New Zealand stepping up to the plate, and Australia taking the
Weather forecasting is a famously inexact science, yet we’re supposed to believe that an agency which has repeatedly failed Australians when it comes to devastating weather events is nonetheless able to accurately predict the global climate one hundred years hence.
