Is This the ‘Unity’ and ‘Love’ They Promised?

Is This the ‘Unity’ and ‘Love’ They Promised?

They really can’t help themselves, can they? Every time the left warn us that the latest culture war they’ve ignited will cause division and hate, what they leave out is that it’s them bringing it. And every time they blatherskite about “love”, what they really mean is

Now Everyone Wants in on It

Here we go: everybody’s seen the “Voice” pot, and now they’re all lining up to pee in it. If one minority lobby group gets their own “voice to parliament”, well, the rest are going to screech for theirs, too. Why stop with Aborigines, after all? Sydney’s LGBT

Boofhead Kicks a Nuclear Own Goal

I’m not saying Australia’s Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, is dumb, but if you want to keep him occupied, show him two shovels and tell him to take his pick. This is, after all, the guy who repeatedly asserts that wind and solar are the

Staying True to Form

Some people just can’t help themselves. Beauty, as the saying goes, may be skin deep, but ugly goes all the way through. People who are full of nothing but piss, vinegar and bile can try and hide it, but the ugly truth always erupts to the surface in short

Big Business Get What They Deserve

Look at them: look at them and laugh. Big businesses thought that nauseating virtue-signalling over an endless parade of Current Things would make the left like them. Now they’ve got a socialist left government in power and they’re quickly learning just how recklessly stupid they’ve really been.

‘EVS Are a Bit Shite’, #32

Hmmm, let’s see: child slave labour and toxic pollution, adding to the massive strain on already-stressed power grids, massive weight threatening the integrity of car parks, the same weight causing them to rip through tyres and make even more pollution, the toxic nightmare of disposing of batteries, guzzling taxpayer’

This Wasn’t Supposed to Happen

You almost have to feel sorry for Australian republic activists. Almost. Because then you remember that they’re people like Malcolm Turnbull and Pirate Pete FitzSimons, and you just laugh at them instead. Because, for all their decades of hectoring, bullying, finger-wagging, and swearing that this time — this time — they’

Snouts in the Most Exclusive Trough in Town

Groucho Marx famously didn’t want to belong to any club that would have him as a member. For Australia’s political elites, it’s more a case of desperately wanting the perks of a club they publicly profess to loathe. Forget the Melbourne Club, the Atheneum, or the Tattersall’

Puttin’ on the Abonics with the Ritz

Possibly my first encounter with genuine, hard-as-nails racism came on a trip to the Northern Territory in my teens. A publican in Alice Springs said to me, “I don’t ban anyone on the colour of their skin, I just have a dress code — and I’ve never seen a

Price Has Her Next Target Lined Up

Can Jacinta Nampijinpa Price please stop giving us reasons to like her? The first-term senator first made a name for herself vocally advocating for conservative Aboriginal politics in the Northern Territory, drawing attention to appalling rates of domestic violence in Aboriginal communities, including the role of traditional culture and tribal

What’s Happening Across the Ditch Today

The left just never learn. You’d think that after Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” clanger became widely recognised as the moment she definitively lost the 2016 election, lefties might have twigged, even the tiniest bit, that screaming names at people isn’t the best way to win them

Rural Groundswell Against ‘Net Zero’ Gains Strength

As I wrote recently, Australia’s Nationals, unlike New Zealand’s National, are finally recovering some testicularity in the face of the Climate Cult. The Nationals, the old Country Party, are facing a grass-roots backlash from their constituents, over “Net Zero” policies in general, and “renewables” in particular. Because, unlike

Country Voters Push Back on “Net Zero”

Despite the similarities in their names, the Nationals in Australia should not be confused with New Zealand’s National party. There are similarities, of course – the Nationals are in coalition, after all, with the real trans-Tasman cousin to National, the Liberal Party – but key differences. The Nationals are what used

Threatening Us with a Good Time Again

Threatening Us with a Good Time Again

Does Marcia Langton ever actually listen to herself? Does this “academic”, feted by the left as a supposedly powerhouse intellect, actually believe the garbage she spouts? Nonsense, for instance, such as claiming that Aborigines have occupied Australia “for millions of years”, or lauding Bruce Pascoe’s make-believe taradiddle, Dark Emu.
