When Anthony Albanese launched his disastrous “Voice” referendum, many naturally questioned why an “advisory body” needed to be enshrined in the Constitution. “So it can’t be abolished by a future government, like ATSIC was!” was the answer. Yet, the former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission was abolished for
A positive public reputation takes a long, diligent time to build, but can be destroyed in an instant. A bad reputation is all-but entrenched: kick a puppy once and nobody will ever forget it. Anthony Albanese might as well have booted Toto up the jacksie on the steps of
Nuclear energy is set to be – no pun intended – the hot-button issue of the next Australian election. After more than a decade in which voters have become increasingly frustrated with what they see as uniparty rule – the so-called “Laborals” – on climate change especially, Coalition leader Peter Dutton has
Is Australia the only country mad enough to use taxpayer’s money to fund people whose sole purpose appears to be trying to wreck the country’s prosperity? Perhaps not the only one, but certainly the most determinedly demented. Australia is the environmental lawfare “capital of the world”, according to
Here’s a test of famous sayings by two powerful women on each side of the world and the political spectrum. First, American journalist Ann Coulter: “The longer we go without being told the race of the shooters, the less likely it is to be white men.” “Coulter’s Law”
Recent presidential debates have blown out of the water any lingering claims the American mainstream media might have had to “objectivity”. In 2016, hosts CNN primed Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton with leaked questions. In 2020, Democrat Joe Biden was allowed to get away with spouting blatant whoppers, denying the veracity
For all the furious denial from the LGBTEIEIEO lobby that their movement has become a grooming front, even the most pathologically “progressive” parent surely can’t help but notice all the, well, actual grooming going on. At this point, so-called “Pride” looks like little more than NAMBLA with rainbow
When Egyptian president Anwar Sadat signed a peace treaty with Israel, Islamists within the army orchestrated his assassination. This dichotomy – official co-operation with Israel, coupled with covert sympathy for anti-Semitic Islamic ideology within the military – persists in Egypt today. The Egyptian military, like Iran and Qatar, knows Hamas’
The Australian Greens have rarely garnered more than 11–13 per cent of the vote. Moreover, their vote is almost exclusively concentrated in the wealthiest, inner-city suburbs of the biggest cities. But it’s notable that, every time they’ve wielded political clout – always courtesy of a Labor government
So, how bad is inflation in Australia? Just ask anyone who works in retail. As one retail worker recently told me, a customer was irate to discover that, in a matter of weeks, one of their favourite products had nearly doubled in price. It’s an extreme example, perhaps, but
Frankly, I’d hoped to avoid having to write anything about Julian Assange, I really had. Unfortunately, the puzzling fangirling of so many on the right for this unpleasant propagandist, and their strangely credulous willingness to parrot the talking-points of the left, conspired to force my hand. Many years
Whenever an eco-alarmist tries to scare you, they almost always employ one or both of two gambits: ‘x amount per year’ and ‘on record’. With regard to the first, it always sounds scary, but what does it actually mean? One we’re all familiar with is the Amazon rainforest:
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
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,
