Has Australia ever been saddled with a weaker, more useless PM than Anthony Albanese? Albo is an object lesson that, no matter how bad the incumbent is, there’s always somebody worse. Scott Morrison may have been wetter than a slug in a downpour, but it’s unlikely that he
Anthony Fauci — like Marjorie Taylor Greene, I decline to use the honorific “Dr” — is a career bureaucrat who earned a medical degree back when flared trousers and the Apollo missions were big things, who went into a government desk job right after completing his residency. Dr Rich McCormick is an
You’d think they’d learn by now. When an “anti-racism” campaigner created a “Caucasians” t-shirt to protest the Washington Redskins name and logo, white folks bought them by the truckload. When the media splashed Donald Trump’s mugshot with glee, the Trump campaign made it into t-shirts and coffee
We’ve all been there: you wake up with a lurgy and call in sick to work. But then you have to try and drag yourself off to the doctor’s for a medical certificate. Even assuming you can get in (good luck with that!), the last thing you want
When greedy, lazy governments and employers try to defend importing up to a million people a year, we’re told it’s “good for the economy”, and “necessary to fill the shortage of skilled workers”. Bullshit. The so-called “economic benefit” works out to barely a couple of hundred bucks per
If the wave of anti-Semitism was solely confined to ignorant students and ranting Muslims, that would be bad enough. That anti-Semitism has infested almost every institution in the West, from academia and media, to state bureaucracy, is horrifying. If you think I’m being alarmist, then you’re not paying
As the filth of anti-Semitism more and more pollutes the public sphere, the inevitable clamour of “the gummint should ban it!” rises. No one outside of the Greens or Lakemba Mosque would dispute that governments and public institutions have so far woefully failed to do anything meaningful to tackle anti-Semitism.
Another day, another pratfall from Australia’s hopelessly incompetent Immigration Minister. Andrew Giles, it must be remembered, started his career as a boat-chasing, “refugee”-activist. A leopard and an activist lawyer never change their spots: Giles’ first loyalty is to country-shopping illegal immigrants. Immigration Minister Andrew Giles boasted to refugee
If we’re to believe the government and the mainstream media, disinformation — the dissemination of intentionally false information to deliberately confuse or mislead — is an existential threat to our democracy. Which is odd, because some of the most egregious disinformation is disseminated by governments and mainstream media. For some governments
Would you rather meet a sloth of savage bears* in the woods or face a judge who thinks the presumption of innocence is an “intractable problem”? I’d take the running of the bears, any day. (*Yes, that’s the collective noun for bears. I looked it up.) As I
If you were going under for open-heart surgery, would you want your surgeon to be: a) the best and smartest at medical school, or, b) the “right” race? If the woke have their way, you won’t have any choice but to opt for b, and hope that Daquan knows
Ever noticed that the biggest spruikers of “renewables”, like most “environmentalists”, are wealthy people who would never tolerate a wind or solar farm within a hundred miles of their wealthy, inner-city suburbs. You’ll never see a field of towering windmills blanketing the landscape in Double Bay, nor will you
Are we done with ‘Multiculturalism’, yet? Of course we are – the elite just won’t admit it. No matter how many times they prod the festering corpse, we all know Multiculturalism is a dead ideology. It was dead on arrival, of course, but this year the smell just got too
It’s a fundamental tenet of communications that a good rep takes a long time and hard work to build, while a negative perception can build overnight and be near impossible to shake. For politicians especially, there’s a point at which negative perceptions become all-but fixed in the minds
Parachuting activists into safe seats is rarely a good idea, while giving them pet ministerial portfolios never is. Because an activist’s focus is almost always monomaniacal. They see everything only ever through the lens of their single-minded activism. Labor should have learned that lesson when it parachuted Midnight Oil
