The Voice referendum taught us a great many things — not least that, given the chance, Australians soundly reject identity politics and wokeism. More particularly, though, it showed us just how glaringly out of step with the mainstream that the redoubts of wokeism — the inner-Sydney and Melbourne, Teal-voting, quinoa belts — really
The first rounds of polls since the Voice referendum defeat are in, and the news is dire for PM Anthony Albanese. Not fatal, perhaps, or at least not yet, but yet another indication that the Labor government is fast bleeding out in its first term. Combined with polling on the
The shameful onslaught of open anti-Semitism in Australia and New Zealand shows no sign of abating. While odious Greens Jew-baiter Chloe Swarbrick is finally being called out by some for her repeated invocations to Jewish genocide, just as many in the Israel-deranged media-left are resorting to ever-more threadbare excuses. Meanwhile,
Can we stop pretending now that mass immigration is nothing more than a particularly nasty Ponzi scheme which punishes native citizens to reward the elites? Even the former Reserve Bank governor admitted it: mass immigration kept workers’ wages low while allowing lazy, mendicant big businesses to avoid properly training local
In stunning news today, it’s been revealed that Queensland’s public service and academics were supposedly previously hiring on merit. Not that anyone would know it. After all, “merit” seems a strange word to describe the dross that’s bobbed around in the taxpayer-funded toilet bowl of the public
In 2020, Denmark criminalised foreign funding for mosques. In 2021, it drafted a law requiring that all sermons be translated and submitted to the state (although Anglican churches complained, it was obvious that the law targeted mosques delivering sermons in Arabic). In France, the intelligence service Renseignements Generaux (RG) monitors
In 1941 the Australian Labor Party came into office due to a dirty deal by cross-bench MPs. Its Prime Minister, John Curtin, was completely unsuited to the job (basically a fall-down drunk) – thrown into an international crisis with little idea of what to do, saved from himself by officials, and
I first wrote it half in jest, but the joke’s been getting more serious every time I repeat it: bulldoze the universities. They’re beyond redemption by now, frankly. That’s not going to happen, of course. Sadly. But prospective students still have the ultimate power: the power of
In 1941 the Australian Labor party came into office through a dirty deal by cross-bench MPs. Prime Minister John Curtin was completely unsuited to the job and thrown into an international crisis with little idea of what to do: he was saved from himself by officials and winning a ‘oncer’
In the US, Jews who traditionally tend to vote for the “progressive left” have had a rude awakening. To their shock, their “progressive” friends are choosing, en masse, to side with the baby-beheaders of Hamas. Whilst I understand their despair at seeing the people they though were on their side
Rita Mae Brown (not Albert Einstein) wrote that, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Australian treasurer Jim Chalmers probably never read Sudden Death — back then, he was probably still watching Sesame Street. He clearly never benefited from the Count’
The inaugural Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference, the “anti-WEF” is billed as an “alternative to the talk-down centralising totalitarian globalist vision”. So it’s unsurprising that the champion of the defeat of Australia’s recent referendum, rightly described as a “referendum on identity politics”, should be one of the
US general and future president Dwight D. Eisenhower famously ordered the filming of the liberation of Nazi death camps, because, “I felt that the evidence should be immediately placed before the American and British publics in a fashion that would leave no room for cynical doubt”. Eisenhower worried, rightly as
Driving into the nearest city (or, at least, the overgrown country town that passes for one in Tassie) this morning for an appointment, I was yet again confronted with the sight of tents pitched in parks and under bridges. Such a sight I’d rarely seen before in my five-odd
