More Backflips than Cirque du Soleil

The Sofronoff Inquiry into the handling of Brittany Higgins’ failed rape accusations just keeps on delivering. On the fourth day of questioning, the ACT Director of Public Prosecutions was squirming harder and faster than ever. On Wednesday, he sensationally claimed that there was a “political conspiracy” to stop the case

Beer and Circuses Not Such a Winner

State by state, the Australian Liberals seem locked in a battle to see who can make their branch of the party the most un-electable. It’s almost as if these clowns want to lose. Tasmania is the last remaining Liberal holdout — for now. The prospect of that continuing just got

Do Vic Libs Want to Lose?

The state Liberals parties really are locked into a race to the bottom to see who can make themselves the most unelectable. Yesterday saw a neck-and-neck battle for the wooden spoon between Victoria and Tasmania. Tasmania looked early losers, with Jeremy Rockliff’s government, the only remaining Liberal government in

Will Anyone Dare Halt Big Australia?

Did anyone vote to import more than a million people in just the next few years? Did Anthony Albanese even once mention during the election that Australia would grow by more than the entire population of Auckland, or Adelaide, in just five years? But, not just Big, but Mega Australia

Fed up Citizens Hold a Welcome to Justice Ceremony

Citizens of Rockhampton gathered for a Traditional Acknowledgement of their own, this week. In what may be called a smoking-out ceremony, they paid their respects to local criminals, past, present and emerging. It was quite the Welcome to Rough Justice. Police are calling for calm as tensions over crime reach

Inquiry Told Cop Convinced of Lehrmann’s Innocence

In Dictator Dan’s Victoria, the thoroughly-corrupted police force set out to “Get Pell” (their own words) long before a single complaint had ever been made against the late Cardinal. Then they insisted on proceeding with a brief of evidence Victoria’s Director of Public Prosecutions twice rejected. The result

‘Smoke and Mirrors’ Budget Hits Workers

The sense is growing that Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ second budget is not at all what the government is claiming. Far from a triumph of good economic management, economists are calling it a “smoke and mirrors” budget, with a “surplus” that amounts to little more than an accidental windfall of

Immigration: No-One Will Dare Say It

One only has to spend five minutes in the company — virtual or real life — of the average member of the chattering classes to realise just how bizarrely out of touch they really are. In the real world of suburban working families, climate hysteria takes a long, long last place to

Doesn’t DPP Want Police Asking Questions?

Day two of the Sofronoff inquiry into the handling of the Brittany Higgins rape accusations, and the ACT Director of Public Prosecutions is keen to defend himself after a shocking first day. As BFD readers may recall, the first day of hearings saw the DPP accused of effectively trying to

If This Is the Black, I’d Hate to See What Red Looks Like

Somehow, it’s hard to be quite so hoopla as Zippy and Albo are at their “budget surplus”, when mortgages, power bills, fuel prices and grocery prices are zooming into the stratosphere. Especially when the “surplus” is entirely a chimaera of creative accounting and tax gouging, and splashing benefit handouts

The fallout from the Brittany Higgins scandal continues to rain down. The ACT Director of Prosecutions may have called a halt to criminal proceedings against the accused — but now the DPP is finding himself the accused in an inquiry into the whole legal fracas.

Victoria: You’ll Lump It and Like It

You’ve got to hand it to him, I suppose: few politicians are as Teflon-coated as Victoria’s “Dictator Dan”, premier Daniel Andrews. Family car mows down a cyclist? Heck, just drive off with the full blessing of attending police, no breath test needed. Detectives asking to arrest multiple members

They Just Couldn’t Help Themselves

On Saturday night, I began to watch the coronation broadcast on the ABC. Hoping against hope that the ABC wouldn’t, well, be the ABC. Of course they were. They can’t help themselves. We turned off after five minutes and switched, first to Channel 7, then, when the ads

A Good Whack with the Dan-Hammer

Are Victorians waking up that they’ve been had, yet? Pfft. Silly question. “Dictator Dan” could piss in Victorians’ faces and they’d praise him for making it rain. They didn’t learn from the blatant corruption and they’re not learning from the endless string of lies and broken

You Can’t Make an Engineer from a “Fat Studies” Graduate

As we all know, telling the unadorned truth is not in the ABC’s DNA. Naturally, then, they can’t bring themselves to come straight out and say, “Young women are still taking useless degrees.” Instead, Australia’s [taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda network] national broadcaster has to dress it all up
