It’s no surprise that Anthony Albanese is so reluctant to tell Australians any detail about his “Aboriginal Voice to Parliament”. After all, the more Australians learn, the less they’re inclined to support what is more and more obviously a dangerous, anti-democratic, racially divisive power-grab. Just in case anyone’
In his excellent book Tombstone, Yang Jisheng relates what it was like to actually live through the monstrous crime of the Great Leap Forward. As an estimated 40 million of their fellow citizens starved to death, most Chinese had no idea it was even happening. How did the Mao regime
Remember when the gay rights movement was all about just leaving consenting adults alone in their own bedrooms? Somewhere along the line that’s morphed into, ‘Watch us fist each other in the streets and give us your children, bigots.’ Of course, right from the start there was a seedy,
When he isn’t shilling for the divisive, dangerous “Voice” referendum, Noel Pearson occasionally has some decent ideas. The “Voice” will make not a jot of practical difference to the deplorable state of Aboriginal Australian women and children, while fundamentally dividing the country on racial lines. But there are some
As I reported yesterday, the ASIO chief warned that Australia was battling unprecedented assault from both without and within. At the same, Mike Burgess said, Australia was facing off more spying by a hostile foreign power than at any other time in its history, it’s being sapped from within
In a world where basic competence mattered, Chris Bowen would be lucky to be trusted with getting the worksite’s lunch orders right. Alas, our’s is not such a world. So, instead of being sent to the store-room for some striped paint, “Boofhead” Bowen is Minister for Climate Change
As I wrote not long ago, I am not a New Zealander. Back then, I was referring to a proposal floated by Jacinda Ardern and Anthony Albanese, to allow Australians and New Zealanders to vote in each other’s elections. Such an idea is wrong on so many levels, not
Just because Joe McCarthy was paranoid doesn’t mean that he was wrong about the deep and troubling reach of communist agents burrowing into America’s government and entertainment industries. Mostly, McCarthy’s only real mistake was being late to the party, at least as far as the State Department
If you want to know what the left are really up to, just listen to whatever they’re accusing anyone else of the loudest. Violent extremism? Look at any random left-wing mass rally, especially involving Antifa or BLM (whose months of riots remain the costliest civil unrest in US history)
Every now and again, an advertising slogan becomes part of the popular lexicon. “Not happy, Jan!” “You’re soaking in it.” “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride” (believe it or not, this was never a saying until a 1950s ad campaign). From a 1980s bank ad, Australians adopted the phrase,
One outcome of the ACT dropping the rape trial against Bruce Lehrmann is that, it not being sub judice any more, a great deal of material that was legally kept from the Australian public is suddenly allowed to be published. Brittany Higgins’ accusations and her actions in the lead-up to
“Paging Dr Death! Stat!” Australia’s enthusiasts for state-sanctioned suicide have run into a bit of a problem: they just can’t rustle up enough doctors willing to kill people. It’s the biggest roadblock for governmental killing enthusiasts since before IG Faben came up with a handy little product
How long before we are legally required to stop and applaud, every time a man in a dress walks by? Totalitarian ideologies, after all, demand not just acquiescence, but loud and fervent public affirmations of loyalty. Within a year of the Brownshirts seizing power, it was illegal in Germany not
No wonder Anthony Albanese doesn’t want to give any details of his planned Constitutional changes. Because, the more Australians learn about it, the less they like what they see. The more Albanese is forced to let on, the harder voters reject it. That’s the inescapable conclusion from the
Judge people by what they do, not what they say. The Labor government can blither all they want that they’re not about to repeat their disastrous borders mistakes, but their actions are clearly telling us otherwise. When the navy is being scrambled to the northern waters, we know that
Jennie George is hardly a raving, right-wing nut job. In fact, she’s a former Labor government minister and trade union leader, married to a former Communist Party activist. But, back then, Labor actually stood for working-class people. Working-class people who built things. Things that made the nation run. Today’
