Since the October 7 atrocities, Israel has seen its staunchest ally, the United States, turn lukewarm at best. At the same time, a sickening wave of anti-Semitism has swept the West – and shows no sign of abating. By contrast, a formerly staunch ally of the Arab cause – the first non-Arab
We can all sense that Western civilisation is collapsing around us. The left celebrate it, the rest of us worry about it – hence the surprising, to some, women especially, fact that a great many men ponder the Fall of Rome quite regularly – and we all want to blame (or lay
Both George Santayana and Winston Churchill averred that “those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it”. This is true enough, but it is also true that, while history often repeats, it rarely does so by carbon copy. The trends may be the same, humans
PM Anthony Albanese and his government’s weakness and duplicity since October 7 are wakening a spectre that hasn’t haunted Australian politics for half a century. A beast that once nearly broke the Labor party and is threatening to again. Sectarian politics. In the 1950s, divisions between Labor’s
When Anthony Albanese launched his disastrous “Voice” referendum, many naturally questioned why an “advisory body” needed to be enshrined in the Constitution. “So it can’t be abolished by a future government, like ATSIC was!” was the answer. Yet, the former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission was abolished for
A positive public reputation takes a long, diligent time to build, but can be destroyed in an instant. A bad reputation is all-but entrenched: kick a puppy once and nobody will ever forget it. Anthony Albanese might as well have booted Toto up the jacksie on the steps of parliament,
Nuclear energy is set to be – no pun intended – the hot-button issue of the next Australian election. After more than a decade in which voters have become increasingly frustrated with what they see as uniparty rule – the so-called “Laborals” – on climate change especially, Coalition leader Peter Dutton has finally hit
Is Australia the only country mad enough to use taxpayer’s money to fund people whose sole purpose appears to be trying to wreck the country’s prosperity? Perhaps not the only one, but certainly the most determinedly demented. Australia is the environmental lawfare “capital of the world”, according to
Here’s a test of famous sayings by two powerful women on each side of the world and the political spectrum. First, American journalist Ann Coulter: “The longer we go without being told the race of the shooters, the less likely it is to be white men.” “Coulter’s Law”
Recent presidential debates have blown out of the water any lingering claims the American mainstream media might have had to “objectivity”. In 2016, hosts CNN primed Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton with leaked questions. In 2020, Democrat Joe Biden was allowed to get away with spouting blatant whoppers, denying the veracity
For all the furious denial from the LGBTEIEIEO lobby that their movement has become a grooming front, even the most pathologically “progressive” parent surely can’t help but notice all the, well, actual grooming going on. At this point, so-called “Pride” looks like little more than NAMBLA with rainbow stickers
When Egyptian president Anwar Sadat signed a peace treaty with Israel, Islamists within the army orchestrated his assassination. This dichotomy – official co-operation with Israel, coupled with covert sympathy for anti-Semitic Islamic ideology within the military – persists in Egypt today. The Egyptian military, like Iran and Qatar, knows Hamas’s leadership
The Australian Greens have rarely garnered more than 11–13 per cent of the vote. Moreover, their vote is almost exclusively concentrated in the wealthiest, inner-city suburbs of the biggest cities. But it’s notable that, every time they’ve wielded political clout – always courtesy of a Labor government desperate
So, how bad is inflation in Australia? Just ask anyone who works in retail. As one retail worker recently told me, a customer was irate to discover that, in a matter of weeks, one of their favourite products had nearly doubled in price. It’s an extreme example, perhaps, but
Frankly, I’d hoped to avoid having to write anything about Julian Assange, I really had. Unfortunately, the puzzling fangirling of so many on the right for this unpleasant propagandist, and their strangely credulous willingness to parrot the talking-points of the left, conspired to force my hand. Many years ago,
