Does anyone remember 3D TV? The next wave of home entertainment, superseding plasma screens and OLED TVs, and all that old junk. Then, it just disappeared from showrooms faster than a laserdisc copy of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The hype around 3D TV coincided with a similar fad for
As I wrote, at the start of the week, the circus that keeps on giving the media an endless feed of scandal is going to keep on giving for a while yet. And you can just bet that, despite the excoriating judgement on media conduct by Justice Michael Lee, the
Is there any bar so low that Anthony Albanese can’t limbo right under it? He really is the most contemptible excuse for a Prime Minister I’ve seen in my life — and in my half-century or so, I’ve seen some doozies. We’ve seen the venal and
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
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
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
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
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
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’
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
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
