In 2013, the Gillard Labor government tried to impose a new regime of censorship on the Australian mainstream media. A lot has changed in the last 10 years – but not the Australian left’s determination to tightly control information. In 2023, the Albanese Labor government is at it again. What
How long before it’s illegal to be a Catholic in Tasmania? At the rate that stating core Catholic beliefs is being outlawed in the state, it only seems a matter of time. When a Tasmanian bishop published a pamphlet putting the case that the Church’s teaching is that
As the Western world barrels headlong into a New Dark Age of authoritarianism, Australia has taken the next step on the Orwellian slippery slope. The Albanese Labor government is trying to restrict the free speech of Australians more than ever before. The Gillard Labor government tried to take control of
The “Indigenous Voice” referendum in Australia is in serious trouble. With just months to go before Australians vote whether or not to change their Constitution, polls are trending steadily downward for the “Yes” vote. The newest poll shows the “No” vote winning. Australian referendums need a double majority to pass:
The Australian left, like all left-wing ideologues, are all care and no responsibility. A “humanitarian”, as Orwell said, “is always a hypocrite”. The Australian left are hypocrites like no others. For all that they wring their hands over an “Indigenous Voice to Parliament”, the left turned a deaf ear when
Back in the ’70s, we used to joke about Queensland being a corrupt, semi-fascist police state run by slimy politicians and crooked cops. These days, it’s Victoria which wears the odious crown of “the Moonlight State”. The unhinged brutality of the police crackdown during the world’s longest Covid
To the surprise of absolutely no one, the “Indigenous Voice” referendum has been rubber-stamped by the political class, with the enabling legislation passed by parliament. Now, it’s up to the people to decide. But if the left want the referendum to pass, then they might want to stop dodging
It was only a few years ago that Britain dodged an anti-Semitic bullet by not electing the odious Jeremy Corbyn and his far-left, Jew-hating followers. But Australian PM Anthony Albanese, another far-leftist, was more than ready to pose for happy-snaps with his Jew-baiting British Labour counterpart. And, surprise, surprise, the
I normally avoid Hobart’s “Dark Mofo” winter festival like the plague. That’s because it’s ‘ooh, aren’t we edgy’ adolescent vibe is even more tediously bullshit than the average ‘writer’s festival’. For all their pretensions of ‘dangerous ideas’, these arts-nobblers circle-jerks almost always consist entirely of
It’s not for nothing that my Third Law of the Media is Always assume that “fact-checkers” are trying to bullshit you. There is no better proof of this law than Australia’s very own taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda outfit public broadcaster, the ABC. Take any random ABC “fact-check”, and it’
Pass the popcorn: a flamboyantly homosexual MP is taking one of Australia’s most notorious political bruisers to court. All over a tweet graphically describing gay sex, and gay politicians going into schools. Newly released court documents reveal independent MP Alex Greenwich is suing NSW One Nation leader Mark Latham
The “Yes” campaign has fallen to a new, grubby low, as it desperately tries to save a failing referendum campaign. In one of the most despicable turns in recent mainstream Australian politics, the left are deliberately stoking racial division to try and save a racially divisive referendum. And they’re
Labor may well be wishing they’d never heard the name “Brittany Higgins”, right about now. What no doubt seemed like a golden opportunity to whack the then-Coalition government by weaponising a dubious rape allegation, is turning on them in the worst possible way. Left factional powerbroker and close ally
Is this the death of the “MeToo” phenomenon in Australia? Ever since it broke in the US, the Australian left, being the slavish imitators of the worst of American culture that they are, were desperately casting about for their own “MeToo” poster girl. For a while, Grace Tame was their
