Nothing says “I’m an out-of-touch leftist” quite like a politician spruiking a vehicle that costs as much as a Mercedes or BMW, is made by a brutal communist dictatorship, and uses materials mined by child labour in Africa. Materials mined and refined in environmental disaster areas. If you can
Touch wood, the “Voice” referendum is dead in the water — and they know it. That’s the obvious conclusion from both recent polling and a slew of policy announcements by Labor state governments. I’m almost afraid to believe it, but the evidence is all pointing one way. First, the
Now that Anthony Albanese has the prime ministership, “Let us enjoy it” seems to be his sole guiding compass. This is, after all, the prime minister who spent almost the entirety of his first months in office overseas or on holiday in Australia. When real problems, like the anarchic lawlessness
Gee, what a surprise: a Labor government gets in and the illegal boat arrivals start up again. Who couldn’t have seen this coming? The only surprise is that it’s seemed to take so long — but blame that on a combination of government-media secrecy and the simple realities of
What hope is there for freedom of speech, when even members of a party supposedly founded on the ideals of classical liberalism are jumping on the censorship bandwagon?

In opposition, Anthony Albanese relentlessly attacked Scott Morrison for either being “missing in action” during national disasters or supposedly merely flying in for photo ops. “I won’t go missing in action,” Albanese bragged. And the instant he was elected? His very first act as Prime Minister was to vanish
The proponents of an “Indigenous Voice” claim that it’s essential to closing the often shocking gaps, in everything from crime, violence and education, between Aboriginal Australians and the rest of the nation.
