The disgraceful hijacking of Anzac Day services by anti-Jewish leftists — particularly galling, given that Australia’s brilliant WWI commander, John Monash, was Jewish — are proof that, even as we solemnly commemorate Anzac Day, we are in grave danger of forgetting just why it is so important. The Gallipoli landings were
How many “lone wolves” before we get to acknowledge that it’s a pack? How long can police and politicians hide behind euphemisms like “religiously motivated violent extremist ideology”, before we’re allowed to tell the truth? Five teenagers – one as young as 14 – have been charged with terrorism related
Australians might have voted overwhelmingly to reject the “Indigenous Voice”, but we’re getting all its worst outcomes, anyway. Mostly courtesy of Labor state governments who are going behind voter’s backs and colluding with dodgy “indigenous” groups. Remember when they lied to our faces that the “Voice” wouldn’t
As I reminded BFD readers, it should not be forgotten that university students were early and enthusiastic adopters of Nazi ideology in the Third Reich. Students, as the Holocaust Encyclopedia relates, “often interrupted lectures, provoked skirmishes, and physically intimidated Jewish students”. They’re at it again. Yes, nearly a century
Those of us of a certain age will remember when global cooling was the big End of the World story of the day. Even the Clash got in on it: The Ice Age is coming! At the time, a bright-eyed young, teenaged me did an internship at a leading scientific
Ranking the greatest philosopher is like ranking the greatest rock band. The same few names will be thrown around, but everyone will argue for their own favourite. For me, the title belongs to Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume. I even have a 19th century engraving of him framed on the
As The BFD has reported, the The Independent Review of Gender Identity Services for Children and Young People, or Cass Review as it’s better known, is shaking the rickety foundations of the Gender tower. Dr Hilary Cass has found that there is no good evidence supporting the fad for
If the polls are anything to go by, Rishi Sunak is the last of a lamentable succession of PMs dragging the Conservatives to an electoral hiding next month. Coming just five years after a landslide win, that’s certainly an achievement, of sorts. On the eve of the election, though,
No doubt like its New Zealand counterpart, the taxpayer-funded left-wing propaganda unit ABC’s Q+A is a dreary leftist circle-jerk. Its idea of “balance” is to set up a single “conservative” panellist to be repeatedly shouted over by a chorus of screeching leftists, and cut off mid-sentence by the
In the 1930s, university students were at the vanguard of the Nazi Reich. The National Socialist German Student League soon became notorious as one of the most antisemitic groups in the Reich. According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia, “Paramilitary student groups often interrupted lectures, provoked skirmishes, and physically intimidated Jewish students”
Once upon a time, security agents “pink listed” politicians who were suspected of being clandestine shirt-lifters. This was because the shame and odium then attached to being potentially exposed as a pillow-biter were so strong that it left them wide open to blackmail by foreign agents. Not any more. Today,
The Graborigines are scrambling with both hands outstretched, in Victoria. Which is hardly surprising in a state where “First Peoples” activists are often as lily-white and blue-eyed as a Reichskommissar could wish for. Because this is also a state where the gibsmedat flows deeper than the mighty old man Murray.
I rather suspect that the fad for “indigenous maths and science” among Humanities academics is driven by their own inability to comprehend maths and science. Anyone can be a maths genius, after all, if your mathematics doesn’t involve counting past ten — twenty, if you take your shoes off. And
Life can take unexpected turns, as Krusty the Clown once reminded Bart Simpson. “One day you’re the most important guy that ever lived, the next day you’re some shmoe working in a box factory.” And, as Brittany Higgins is finding, one minute you’re tongue-lashing your old boss
You know you’ve really screwed up when your own side are saying, “Hold up…” And when Bill Maher says you’re a case study of extreme wokeness, then you better listen. No, he wasn’t talking to you, New Zealand, or even Cucktoria, here in Australia. Bill Maher took
