Any doubts that the Australian Labor Party have sold their souls to pander to the Muslim vote have been dispelled for good. The party’s kid-gloves treatment of ‘rat’ Fatima Payman gives the jig away for all to see. Western Australian senator Fatima Payman has crossed the floor to vote
If there’s one thing the new elite are good at, it’s looking after themselves. ’Twas ever thus, of course, but to damn them with faint praise, the old money at least had some vague notions of noblesse oblige. Today’s elites have only one moral compass: gimme, gimme,
The circus that keeps on giving just keeps rolling on. I’m referring, of course, to the Lehrmann-Higgins saga. If you thought it was all over with the defamation trial which sensationally ended with a judge just totally reckoning that Bruce Lehrmann probably did rape Brittany Higgins. That despite, of
Metaphors of putting monkeys in charge of the banana plantation come to mind. Forget the inmates running the asylum: that happened decades ago. But the appointment of Matt Kean as the new head of the Climate Change Authority is a new low, even for that benighted taxpayer-funded sinkhole. Kean is
We really do live in a Clown World. The official explanation for the pylon collapse that blacked out the entirety of Northland reads like something from an old John Clarke and Bryan Dawe satire.

Social media, as Mike Tyson famously said, “made y’all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it”. Occasionally, though, someone learns the hard way that online disrespect can lead to offline consequences. When Spanish comedian Jaime Caravaca responded to a tweet from
We could be forgiven for thinking that the reason the lefty elites think Western society is so irredeemably awful is that they judge the rest of us by the dire standard of their own toxic bubble. After all, “male feminist” has become a byword for abusers and creeps. The Greens
As even some mainstream media outlets are reporting lately, the Democratic Party are in a “full-blown ‘freakout’” over Joe Biden’s re-election chances. There is, according to Politico, a “pervasive sense of fear” at the highest level of Dem HQ regarding Biden’s dropping poll numbers. Then there’s Biden
With the 80th anniversary this week of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, we’re once again reminded of just what a monumental undertaking it was. We’re all familiar, of course, with the images of landing craft hitting the beaches that morning, but the invasion had already begun hours before.
Every time a child disappears is an unspeakable tragedy. Unfortunately, it happens all too often. As a consequence, only some cases grab public attention – such as the 2007 disappearance of Madeleine McCann. McCann’s disappearance without a trace from a Portuguese holiday resort dominated headlines for years afterward. Even today,
