I have to say, I did not expect South Australia to be the first state to likely implement a parliamentary inquiry into the “transgender” madness. SA was, until Victoria stole its crown just like it stole the Grand Prix, the proud bearer of the “Australia’s Wokest State” mantle. But,
When entrail-reading media sages (like me) pontificate over polling, it’s easy to get misled by “personal approval” polling for leaders. But is “popularity” everything? Kevin Rudd was immensely “popular”, even more than Jacinda Ardern — and both are now despised. Tony Abbott was never popular — and came within a
As Australia once again confronts a reality which never really went away — the gross overrepresentation of gangs of young Africans in crimes of shocking violence — the excuses are also once again flowing thick and fast. The stabbing murder of a grandmother, in front of her granddaughter, for the sake of
As you all no doubt know from bitter experience, much of the left are not exactly the deepest thinkers, nor the most independent minds. For all that they sneer at the United States, antipodean leftists are only all-too-eager to ape the latest inanities of the American left. Take,
If there’s one group that Australians distrust more than politicians, it’s the media. Increasingly, we can throw police onto the “Do Not Trust” pile. Like politicians and the media, security and police departments are now routinely lying to Australians’ faces. For instance, in 2017, ASIO boss Duncan Lewis
If there’s one thing we know about the left, it’s that they never, ever take “eff off” for an answer. Like the spoilt political toddlers they are, they react to even the firmest “No” by screaming and crying, stamping their little feet, and shaking their little fists. If
The new parliamentary year has kicked off in Australia, and, as expected, the prime minister’s broken promise on tax cuts has dominated discussion. As also expected, the opposition is picking its battles carefully. Peter Dutton has confirmed he will not “stand in the way” of stage three tax cuts,
They’re at it again: youths of no particular description are committing a wave of violent crimes across the country. Just don’t expect the media to tell you the whole truth. As is usual with such crimes, what the media don’t tell you speaks volumes. If they even
Well, at least the polls aren’t any worse. So must go the chatter from Labor strategists in Canberra, as Anthony Albanese blows another wad of political capital chasing far-left nostrums. At least, unlike the Voice referendum, breaking a solemn promise on Stage 3 tax cuts hasn’t been
Now, if you or I were to run an extension cable across the footpath to run an electrical device on the nature strip, we could be absolutely sure the council would be on us, PDQ. If we were to stack jerry cans of petrol by the curb, to fill up

Before the last election, Anthony Albanese promised “safe, minimal change”. It was a lie even bigger than Jacinda Ardern’s “open and transparent” whopper. Just as Ardern ran a regime of unprecedented, paranoid secrecy, Albanese has busily imposed an agenda of radical, race- and class-warfare antagonism. Last year, Albanese
Rule of thumb: if a police official’s mouth is moving, he or she is probably telling a lie. Many years ago, a friend of mine who’d emigrated from China told me how refreshing it was to be able to hear anything apart from state propaganda. He referred to
It’s a sad state of affairs when a clown gives more sound legal advice than one of the nation’s supposedly top legal minds, but that’s life in a Clown World, I guess. While the NSW Chief Justice, like so many in his profession, not to mention the
A government supported artist, Robert Heinlein wrote, is an incompetent whore. He might have added, an abusive one. Of course, there are some weirdos who pay a great deal of money to be abused by whores, but for most people, handing over money to beggars only to be returned a
