Has anyone heard from Tim Flannery, lately? Australia’s formerly vociferous Climate Commissioner, who is usually as averse to grabbing a headline as Siouxsie Wiles is to grabbing a quick dip in Judges Bay during lockdown, has been unusually silent for months. I’m beginning to get a bit worried

The backlash against the ubiquitous, fatuous “Welcome to Country” nonsense in Australia is growing. And it’s not just coming from unruly soccer crowds or right-wing politicians. A growing number of Aboriginal Australians are going public that they’re fed up with “bullshit” symbolism in their name. For the unfamiliar,
As the trial of Bruce Lehrmann, accused of raping Brittany Higgins at Parliament House in 2019, remains on hold, the social media left are in full flight. Higgins has been “unavailable to take the stand”, mid-testimony, all week. That hasn’t stopped her supporters screeching day and night. How dare

Scratch a sanctimonious Green and you’ll find a raging hypocrite scarcely concealed beneath the surface. This has been true of the left, of course, since the earliest days of socialism, when the Bloomsbury Circle would privately sneer at the “awful” working classes they pretended to champion. The Soviets had
Nothing tells us that “green” is a massive scam so clearly as that it’s attracting so many scammers. Flies are irresistibly attracted to honey, and the biggest honey-pot right now is the massive piles of taxpayer’s “green” cash. A close second is the virtuous gullibility of “green” consumers,
Policy made in a panic rarely makes for good policy. Neither does the union tail wagging the Labor dog yet again. Both are on full display in Anthony Albanese’s panicked rush to be seen to be doing something on energy prices. The panic is understandable, of course. Energy prices
The contemporary left are tantrum-throwing toddlers whose sole moral compass is infantile resentment. Resentment mostly at the giants who founded the very liberal democracy that allows them to have their little hissy-fits without being summarily put against the wall and shot. Burning flags and smashing statues is getting old. Defacing

“Integrity” and “corruption” commissions all sound very good in theory. After all, who doesn’t want corrupt politicians caught out and punished? That’s the theory. But then, the theory of socialism is that it makes fairer and wealthier societies. The gap between the theory and the reality of corruption
The AFL is a very inclusive sporting league. Just ask them, they’ll tell you. They’ll welcome anybody — even put on a special round for them. Anybody but Christians. As I reported last week, a new CEO of an AFL club lasted less than 24 hours in his job.
If you peruse the ranks of “Indigenous” government-funded bodies, tax-hoovers and other assorted gravy trains, one thing, in particular, stands out. They’re often very… shall we say, “pale”… Of course, saying this out loud is what got Andrew Bolt into so much trouble, but when you’re confronted with
You know, I’m not even mad when gibbering leftists and screeching, suspiciously pale “indigenous activists” scream and stamp their feet and burn the Australian flag. On the contrary, keep it up, I say. These clowns are doing more to make the “No” case for the upcoming “Indigenous Voice” referendum
Remember when Anthony Albanese was promising to lower everyone’s power bills by $275? Oh, how we laughed. We’re not laughing now. Australia faces a new cost-of-living shock, with power prices forecast to soar by at least 35 per cent in 2023 as the early closure of coal-fired
