When an Assyrian Orthodox congregation in Sydney rioted after the stabbing attack on their bishop by a Muslim, there was much tutting and finger-wagging from police and politicians. But should they have really been surprised? They might want to consider that people are only going to put up with so
As I wrote recently, the all-consuming black hole of taxpayer-funding, the NDIS, is funding some of Australia’s worst rapists and paedophiles to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Some, like unrepentant serial sex offender Wayne Wilmot, north of a million dollars. Because he has a “mild
Remember when suspecting that Covid was engineered in a lab and accidentally leaked meant that you were a conspiracy theory cultist? Mind you the same people calling you a “cultist” were doing stuff like this: As it happens, their beloved Dr Fauci is accused of being neck-deep in the alleged
What’s going on in Sydney, all of a sudden? Two stabbing attacks in just days, and a riot to boot? The first attack, in a Bondi shopping mall, seems, despite early speculation, to not have been a terror attack, but a “de-institutionalised” nutter with a hate-boner for women. The
According to the millions of leftists marching weekly for “Palestine”, it’s not that they hate Jews, they’re just anti-war. Above all, they piously witter, they’re concerned for the children. Which is odd, because, when it comes to a brutal war which is causing untold misery and death
As woeful a PM as he was, Scott Morrison proved, by losing to Anthony Albanese, that Australia could always elect someone worse. Morrison also had one good political line in him, during an otherwise pathetic election campaign. When Albanese bragged that Labor came up with big ideas, Morrison snapped back
Another day, another court case, and the scandal that just keeps on giving… keeps on giving. Justice Michael Lee has handed down his verdict in Bruce Lehrmann’s defamation suit against Channel Ten and Lisa Wilkinson — and what a curious judgement it is. On the one hand, Lee states what
The world is at the most critical crossroads, with the weakest Western leadership, since 1938. At least Chamberlain and Daladier had the poor excuse of desperately doing anything, giving Hitler everything, in order to avoid war. Joe Biden and Antiono Guterres, and closer to home, Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong,
As I wrote for The BFD recently, for a supposed libertarian, David Seymour sure loved some naked authoritarianism when it came to lockdowns and vaccines. As for Christopher Luxon, he’s as wet as slow-boiled kale when it comes to green-left dogmas like climate change. So-called ‘conservatives’ in Australia aren’
The Climate Cult is not exactly renowned for rational thinking. After all, these are the people who make a virtue out of completely ignoring that the dire predictions they’ve made for the last century or more have conspicuously failed to come to pass – and they just keep on making
Infamous NZ tabloid journalist Derryn Hinch once said that con men only prosper because people are greedy. But Hinch was writing in a pre-internet time, about a get-rich-quick scam. Today, many scammers rely on people’s tech naivete and gullibility. How on earth, you might wonder, would anyone be taken
One of the biggest conceits of the left is that they’re on the side of ‘science’. Yes, the people who brought us the panicked failure of Covid policy, and who furiously assert that men can get periods and have babies, are totally all about ‘The Science’. The most egregious
In a werewolf story I read recently, the protagonist (a werewolf) remarks on her new-found senses. Especially smell: “Urine. So much urine. It never occurred to her how surrounded by piss she was at all times every time she stepped into the woods.” Think on that next time you go
Is Richard Dawkins about to repent and re-convert to full-on, church-going Christianity? Don’t get your hopes up, but it does seem that one quarter of the so-called “Four Horsemen” is mellowing in his views. But Christians tempted to screech ‘Told you so!’ or turn cartwheels of joy that they’
Malta, the tiny Mediterranean island nation, rarely intrudes onto the world stage. Yet, given its pivotal location nearer Africa than Europe, it’s been fought over by the world’s biggest empires for over 3,000 years. That history has left it with an eclectic legacy of everything from language
