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
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
As both Hillary Clinton and former Australian PM Julia Gillard – credit where it’s due to both – have recently observed, the pro-Hamas mobs storming university campuses and social media are singularly ignorant of history. “They don’t know very much at all about the history of the Middle East,
In human history, a handful of technologies have changed everything. Fire, for instance, and agriculture. Writing. The wheel. In the last few centuries, though, one technology upended global balances of power. As hinted in Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs and Steel, that technology was the firearm. Who had projectile weapons,
WWII was the deadliest conflict in human history. Within that haemoclysm, as it’s been dubbed, there were some jobs that were infinitely more deadly than others. An Italian partisan, for instance, had a slightly less than even chance of being killed, while over one third of the Waffen-SS
This is a classic Maltese lunch and can be made a variety of ways. At its simplest, as my father-in-law used to make it, it can be just chunks of bread dipped in olive oil and rubbed with fresh tomato and peeled garlic. But for a centrepiece for
Opinion polling shows that support for Israel among ordinary people remains strong. Very few support Hamas. Yet, that is not what we see peddled by the media, who too-obviously sympathise with the vicious ignoramuses screaming in the streets and on university campuses. Yet again, the divide between the elite
If it’s not bad enough that Australia has to deal with the trail of poo left behind by Jacinda Ardern, now her weak, wet imitator is throwing a few handfuls of his own across the Tasman. I refer, of course, to the infamous “Direction 99” pushed through by the
Imagine if, at the same time we were sending our troops to fight Nazi Germany, Australia had invited thousands of brownshirts to migrate to our shores and hold their own little Nuremberg-style rallies. Imagine jack-booted Sturmabteilung goose-stepping down Pitt St in Sydney, chanting Sieg Heil! while thousands
One of the greatest fallacies of the Australian left is that it’s taxpayer-funded propaganda unit, the so-called “National Broadcaster”, exists to “balance” the wicked “right-wing media”. This is completely contrary to the ABC’s statutory obligations, set out in the ABC Act and Charter. By law,
So, it turns out that trying to prohibit a recreational substance by imposing massive taxes on it only encourages a black market. Who knew! Have they tried outright banning it? That always works. When the tax alone on a pack of cigarettes is over $30, what do the nanny-staters
Apparently not content with leaving New Zealand in the poo, Jacinda Ardern also flung fists full of her dire legacy across the Tasman. As The BFD has been reporting, dozens of foreign-born murderers, rapists, and child molesters, have been allowed to stay in Australia on the orders of Immigration
As former Australian PM Julia Gillard recently said, too many of the most passionate loudmouths cheering on Hamas are almost entirely ignorant of the facts of history regarding Israel and “Palestine”. “I think a lot of what is going on today is a distortion of history from social media. It’
You know how it goes, one day you’re the most important cause there ever was, the next, you’re just some shmuck begging in a former Soviet province. Faster than it takes a social media normie to change their profile badge, today’s Great Moral Challenge is yesterday’s
At this stage, Donald Trump is like an SF monster: the more his enemies attack him, the stronger he grows. Every dodgy court case sees Trump’s poll numbers grow. The Bad Orange Man is even drawing crowds in deepest blue Bronx. Meanwhile, Joe Biden keeps going from bad to
