Is it just a coincidence that the Hamas flag is green? Was it a coincidence that the Nazis were the first environmental party? Forget the brown shirts and black boots, the West’s most hateful anti-Semites today are far too likely to be wearing Green. Either the poisonous green of
As I wrote for Insight yesterday, the weekend’s referendum result might not be immediately fatal to Anthony Albanese’s leadership and indeed government, but it’s a wound that will continue to bleed out over the coming months. Albanese is the lamest of ducks. Elected on just 32% of
The only thing really surprising about Australian voters’ rejection of the “Indigenous Voice to Parliament” referendum was its scale and brutal swiftness. Within less than an hour of polls closing, it was clear that the referendum had been emphatically rejected in every state. There was no need to even bother
Michelle Grattan Professorial Fellow University of Canberra Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has pledged to continue to battle Indigenous disadvantage and promote reconciliation, in the wake of the sweeping defeat of his referendum to put a Voice in the Constitution. “We intend as a government to continue to do what we
As I wrote, long ago, Australia was, and still is, as he remains in parliament, plagued with two Scott Morrisons. There was Scott Morrison the global statesman, justly recognised around the world for his government’s brave and resolute stance against unprecedented trade and diplomatic bullying from China. For helping
It’s become a depressingly familiar ritual, every summer, in one of the most wildfire-prone region on Earth. The instant there’s so much as a whiff of smoke, the brain-dead cultists of the legacy media jerk themselves into a frenzy, bellowing, “CLIMATE CHANGE!” That almost all of the bushfires
The Australian’s “Jack the Insider” rightfully lambasted the Greens’ Jenny Leong for her disgusting attempt to justify the worst barbarity perpetrated on Jews since the Holocaust. He also rightly pointed out that anti-Semitism is a long-running stain on the fringe right. But then he wrote this: Anti-Semitism is the
However low the level to which the green-left sinks in Australia, you can always rely on the taxpayer-funded broadcaster to crawl after them. The disgusting Greens wasted no time joining the throngs of anti-Semites chanting “gas the Jews” in Sydney and hand-waving away the worst violence against Jews since WWII.
Around the world, leaders immediately declared their unequivocal support for Israel as news of the horrifying Hamas terror attacks unfolded. They’ve immediately taken steps to ensure the safety of their local Jewish populations. Compare that to Australia’s shameful government, where the PM took twelve hours to respond, while
The Australian left continue to cover themselves with the filth of Palestinian terrorism. The same day that Greens politicians marched with Sydney Muslims chanting “gas the Jews”, and the Greens leader tweeted, not to condemn Hamas but Israel, Pakistani-born Muslim Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi tweeted that it was “disgusting” for
Next weekend, both New Zealanders and Australians will go to the polls: one in a general election, the other in a referendum. In both cases, there’s a strong case that the future of our countries as liberal democracies is at stake. Australians are voting on whether or not to
I know I’ve often made mock in The BFD of NZ’s increasingly miniscule contribution to regional defence capability, but the truth is that Australia hasn’t got a lot to brag about, either. Sure, we spend more, both in real terms and per capita, than New Zealand, but
With less than a week to go till Australians vote on the critical “Indigenous Voice” referendum, the poll momentum continues to favour “No”. I say “critical”, because the referendum will decide one indeed critical issue: will Australia become a genuinely institutionally racist state for the foreseeable future, or not? According
Sydney is Australia’s City of Hate. On Monday night, Australia’s biggest city shamed the entire nation, when not only its huge Islamic community erupted into spontaneous celebration of the murder, rape and atrocities of Hamas in Israel — but police stood by and did nothing. Nothing, that is, except
