Julia Gillard’s Monster Is Alive and Rampaging
Leftists love to promote policies that make them feel good and preen their virtue in their lefty echo-chamber. The actual results of their policies – which are almost uniformly disastrous? They couldn’t care less. The virtue has been signalled. That’s all that matters. Case in point: Julia Gillard and
The ABCTQIA+ Is at It Again
As I’ve been reporting, there are growing signs that the tide is turning on the madness of trans ideology. The woke in Britain are hurriedly scrubbing their timelines of any mention of Mermaids, the “trans” charity bedevilled by paedophilia accusations. Even more significantly in the UK, the taxpayer-funded NHS
Wally Goes to Bat for ISIS Brides
Australia has a “perpetual irritant”, to use his own words, that we just can’t seem to exorcise from our TV screens. Academia and entertainment industries both being the leftist lobster pots they are, Waleed Aly just keeps bobbing up and down in our collective cultural punchbowl, no matter how
The Road from Rome to Melbourne
It’s almost like something out of a Dan Brown thriller: a web of corruption, conspiracy, frame-ups and murder, reaching all the way from the Vatican to the halls of power in Melbourne. Even cardinals aren’t safe, if they get too close to unmasking the conspiracy. If that all
The Rainbow Bullies of Tas
How do you know when the ABC approves of a campaign, and when it doesn’t? If it’s described as “grass-roots activism” or “community campaign”, it means the ABC approves. If not, it’s “a targeted campaign”, or an “extremist takeover”. When can you trust the ABC to report
Taxes Are for You, Not Them
The Greens and the left in general have been making an awful lot of noise about billionaires (they notably shut up about millionaires as soon as they amassed their first millions) and mega-corps not paying tax, lately. But they’re strangely selective in who they get outraged about. If you
What Are They Blaming Today?
I won’t name names, but for many years the local football was on a years-long losing streak. Their response was to repeatedly sack coaches after a season while keeping the same roster of players. When I raised this over a beer or two, a friend responded, “Cos it’s
Australians Aren’t Feeling the Cheer
It’s happened again: “get woke, go broke”. Much as some folk are gloating, though, the harsh reality is that up to 75 workers in a small town are out of a job, thanks to a decision they had nothing to do with them. The Canadian dairy behind Cheers [sic]
The Truth about ‘ISIS Brides’
There has been much argument over the Albanese government’s decision to secretly smuggle “ISIS brides” into Australia — and more-or-less turn them loose in suburbs. Often suburbs where a high proportion of their former victims have settled. Supporters argue that the jihadis shouldn’t be punished for making bad choices
Dumbing Down Doesn’t Inspire Confidence
It’s official: women are too dumb to make it into “hard” subjects unless we lower the bar for them. That’s the tacit implication of a gushing Sydney Morning Herald piece about a Sydney university and its Very Special Program for women who didn’t do well enough in
A Teal Streak of Hypocrisy
There’s an old saying that the more a man goes out of his way to assure you of his honesty, the more closely you should watch your pockets. In politics, the more a party blatherskites about “integrity”, the more you know that they’re more crooked than Dan Andrew’
Who Cares Where We Dump ‘Em?
Post-Covid, Big Australia is back, big-time. Of course, Big Australia never really went away. Even at the height of the pandemic, when tens of thousands of Australians were locked out of their own country, the government and big business still managed to surreptitiously fly in 100,000 migrants. But, big
Who’s Got the Biggest Carbon Footprint?
It’s one thing to realise that the loudest climate-botherers are the world’s biggest hypocrites — quite another to see, in stark figures, just how monstrous their hypocrisy really is. Sure, flying fleets of private jets to “climate summits”, and owning vast mansions, is a bad look. But the hard
Beaming Grooming Right into Your Living Room
For a billion-plus dollars a year, Australian taxpayers probably expect not to be lied to their faces about trans grooming being beamed into their living rooms. As groomers will, the ABC boss and Greens senator Sarah “Sea Patrol” Hanson-Young deflected and dissembled when the grooming agenda was brought to public
Protect Our Data: Don’t Keep It in the First Place
We all know that reality can’t keep up with satire these days, but when even left-wing rag Crikey can see it, the clown car really has jumped the shark. (I shouldn’t rag on Crikey too much, as it happens: sure, they’re a bunch of lefty wankers, but
