According to her testimony, Brittany Higgins now employs a legal babysitter, “so I can’t do anything dumb”. Whoever the poor soul is, they’ve got their work cut out for them. On her last day of cross examination, Higgins publicly confirmed what had so far been confidential: that she
How soon before the Australian left-media rename the Walkley Awards to the David Irving Awards for Outstanding Denial? As I wrote recently, the media are nothing if not dedicated Hamas fangirls. But even Stuff’s demented parroting of Hamas propaganda pales in comparison with the Australian mainstream media’s determination

Heather du Plessis-Allan has a column in yesterday’s paper about how nervous Government ministers are about protests and robust debate.

In just one particularly bad flu season, Tasmania alone experienced hundreds of deaths from influenza. It barely made the news. In the three years of Covid, Tasmania recorded a total of 256 “Covid deaths”. Given the notoriously generous standard for a “Covid death”, it’s likely that the seasonal flu
Every time someone blithers about “resurrecting” an extinct species like the Tasmanian Tiger or the woolly mammoth, the first question we should ask is: why?
