‘Truth Telling’ Is a Crock of Lies
“Truth telling” is all the rage with the race-grievance industry these days. It’s not exactly a spoiler alert to tell you that actual truth has very little to do with it. Instead, what we’re getting is activists serving up a farrago of just-so stories and noble savage fairy
Young, Dumb and Full of Woke
As I wrote recently, the draft NZ science curriculum is an embarrassing crock, blatantly designed by the Long Marchers to keep students ignorant and indoctrinated. Hold our soy lattes, say Australian education bureaucrats. The Australian school science curriculum lacks breadth and depth, and provides little guidance to teachers about content,
Trans Industrial Complex Comes for Our Taxes
How do Australian taxpayers feel about paying for creepy male autogynephiles and faddish teenagers to mutilate and chemically sterilise themselves? It’s bad enough that we already have to fork out for gender-confused loons in the military. Now, activists are pushing for an all-out taxpayer-funded wave of woke conversion therapy.
Do We Really Want to Go There?
Viv Forbes Australia’s ALP/Green government and their media mates are using subsidies, taxes and outright propaganda in a suicidal attempt to move the whole country to 82 per cent ‘renewable’ energy by 2030 and ‘Net-Zero Emissions by 2050’. Canny Aussies are buying diesel generators. Here is our pictorial
Boofhead Gets Laughed at by the Cool Kids
Poor Boofhead. No matter how hard he tries to toady up to the cool COP kids, they just keep giving him wedgies and shoving his head in the toilet. As reported yesterday by The BFD, Chris Bowen is preparing to strut his stuff at COP28 by trying on the climate
‘I Think (Hamas) Are Doing a Good Job’
If you needed no other argument against lowering the voting age — in fact, if you want an argument for raising the voting age — you need only look at Melbourne yesterday. It was like a scene out of Triumph of the Will, with keffiyehs in place of brown shirts. Hundreds of
Should’ve Just Paid the Rainbow Serpent First
With hindsight, the Hindmarsh Bridge affair should have been seen at the time for what it was: a test case of Enlightenment rationalism against primitive tribal superstition. Alas, even then, Australia’s media-political chattering classes were all gaga for a bit of oogabooga. So the primitive tribal superstitions won. For
Boofhead Goes for Even Broker
As Thomas Sowell said, “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong”. It’s even worse when those same people are given license to keep on
Oh Boy, Here We Go
Imagine standing up at the opening of a Holocaust museum to announce that you’re fast-tracking visas for fleeing Nazis. That’s effectively what Australian PM Anthony Albanese has just done. Almost 900 Palestinians granted temporary visas since Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel will be subject to security
Labor Going Hard for the Wooden Spoon
In news that should surprise absolutely no-one, another Labor climate policy is heading for disaster. Just like all the other ones: remember Julia Gillard’s “Cash for Clunkers”, not to mention the carbon tax? Or Kevin Rudd’s dodgy home insulation scheme, which caused house fires and the deaths of
Boomers Living the High Life While the Rest of Us Go Broke
For a generation who spent so much energy railing against everything old and wealthy, the Boomers in their senescence are notably addicted to money. No wonder George Carlin excoriated the Boomers as whiny, narcissistic, self-indulgent people with a simple philosophy: “GIMME IT, IT’S MINE!” As Carlin said, Boomers were
How to Fail with Each-Way Albo
They don’t call Anthony Albanese “Each-Way Albo” for nothing. The Australian PM has earned that moniker as much as he has the “Airbus Albo” tag, because if there’s one thing Albanese is addicted to almost as much as buggering off overseas, it’s sitting on the fence on
Does Anyone Really Expect ‘Moral Clarity’ from This Lot?
As the Australian left spirals deeper into the dark night of its own, drawn-out Kristallnacht, a government that’s been playing with matches is finally starting to smell the smoke. It should come as no surprise to anyone that a movement which kicked off by celebrating the worst massacre of
