Why Can’t Linda Burney Do Her Job?

What on earth is Linda Burney doing, all day? What is the Gucci-wearing, multimillionaire “Aboriginal” Scotswoman actually doing in her portfolio of Indigenous Affairs?

In a recent post, I pondered whether Anthony Albanese’s proposed online censor would punish politicians for their lies. Well, we have the answer to that one: as is too often the case, the political class are exempting themselves from the draconian rules they foist on we commoners. In a

ABC Admits Its Own Bias

ABC Admits Its Own Bias

Anyone who still denies that Australia’s taxpayer-funded broadcaster has become little more than a hopelessly-biased, inner-city left-wing collective, is either willfully blind or hopelessly ignorant. If nothing else gives the ABC’s bias away, consider the fact that its own management has to specifically and repeatedly remind its journalists
