Did a Saudi Operative Coach 9/11 Plotters?

Did a Saudi Operative Coach 9/11 Plotters?

The unspeakable atrocity of 9/11 has certainly spawned more than its fair share of silly conspiracy theories. But probably the most damaging one is the official one: that al Qaeda acted alone. That, it appears, is a lie. It’s a lie that should have been exposed almost immediately

Waka Jumped on Both Sides of the Ditch

Waka Jumped on Both Sides of the Ditch

Australia doesn’t have a waka-jumping law, but it often feels like we need one. Time and again, political nobodies scrape together a few hundred votes courtesy of being included at the bottom rung of a party ticket. Having exploited the party name, they proceed to use it as a

Bring on the High-Divin’ Act

As I’ve written many times, the Brittany Higgins saga is the circus that just won’t quit. And now we’re getting the high divin’ act riding bareback on a pony. When the whole affair erupted into public view, it was hard not to suspect that there was a

There Are Two Classes These Days

There Are Two Classes These Days

In the US, the Democrats and their lickspittles are bragging that the economy is doing just fine. In Australia, Treasurer Jim Chalmers claims that the government is keeping inflation in check and mainstream media seals hork a chorus of agreement. Just don’t you believe your lyin’ eyes about the

Who Do They Represent: Australia, or Hamas?

Who Do They Represent: Australia, or Hamas?

Yet again, it must be asked, just who do Fatima Payman and Mehreen Faruqi represent? The people of WA and NSW, or Gaza and Hamas? Payman, the “accidental senator” elected by a micro-vote on a Labor Party ticket, has thrown the Albanese government into turmoil by defecting over the sole

Dan Andrews Still Dogged by 2013 Crash

Life’s a funny old thing when you’re a former Dear Leader of the Covid Cult who’s retired from government and hoping to just slip quietly into the shadows. One minute, you’re getting fast-tracked for a gong by your Labor mates, the next, an old scandal that

Under Pressure and Feeling the Chill

Down here in Tasmania, we’re used to cold winters, but this last week has been a doozy. For the first time in my 20+ years here, the pipes froze. The frost didn’t lift all day in the shade. The ice we broke off the fish pond one morning

Holding the UNRWA to Account

Holding the UNRWA to Account

For years, evidence has been growing of the damning links between UN agencies – its Palestinian UNRWA in particular – and Hamas terrorism. The UNRWA was first caught out distributing violently anti-Semitic propaganda in the guise of “textbooks” for Palestinian schoolchildren. But October 7 laid bare much worse: hundreds of UN employees

Albo Is Sending Us Down the Gurgler

As I wrote recently, Australian PM Anthony Albanese just can’t get a winner. Nothing he does is working for him. Tax cuts, wage rises, handouts and all the traditional pork-barreling stuff is falling into open pockets and on closed ears. Mostly because of his own ham-fisted political stupidity. Albo

Shouting for Hamas from the Rooftop

Shouting for Hamas from the Rooftop

After years of the left seeing ‘Nazi symbolism’ in even the most ludicrous places, a former Nazi symbol adopted by a modern terrorist group was flown from the roof of the Australian parliament. And the increasingly openly anti-Semitic left couldn’t have been more chuffed. A group of ‘pro-Palestinian’ supporters

A Perfectly Preserved Trilobite Changes the Game

A Perfectly Preserved Trilobite Changes the Game

It’s become drearily commonplace for an over-excited media to proclaim that every moderately interesting scientific discovery “turns science on its head”. For once, though, they’re onto something. Perhaps the most exciting development in paleontology since the Ediacara discovery in South Australia in 1946 has taken place in Morocco.

What a Load of Gas

What a Load of Gas

It used to be said, of something pointless, that it was like “sending coal to Newcastle”. Thanks to green lawfare, Australia may soon be doing just that, only with gas. Australia is one of the largest exporters of liquified natural gas in the world, yet its suffering such an acute

Albo Let the Camel in the Tent

The Australian Labor government is learning the hard way that you let the camel into your tent at your peril: the bastard keeps spitting on you and you end up with fleas. But Labor has been so determined to curry the Muslim vote, especially in its Western Sydney heartland, that

100% Pure Can’t Do Attitude

As an astute reader noted, I recently referred to New Zealand as Australia’s “Very Special sibling”. I should mock, though: I live in Tasmania. Tassie and NZ have a lot in common: we’re small, remote and like to sell ourselves on our natural beauty. But we’re also
