If you want to know where Anthony Albanese’s priorities lie, just consider the following: A Scots family who came to Australia fully legally and have worked and paid their way the entire time are battling a deportation order that has personally cost them tens of thousands of dollars. But
The Victorian state election is on in earnest, now — and things are getting personal for premier Daniel Andrews. A 2013 crash involving the Andrews family and a teenage cyclist is back in the news. The cloud of suspicion over the incident, and Andrews’ and Vic Police’s handling of it,
It takes a certain degree of taxpayer-funded chutzpah to do a story on people dubiously claiming “Aboriginal” status in order to further their careers and/or access race-based welfare — and feature none other than Bruce Pascoe, pontificating about the damage done by fake Aborigines. But that’s SBS for you:
Imagine if you were in a vehicle careering downhill toward a cliff edge and, instead of applying the brakes or bailing out, the driver insisted on pushing harder on the accelerator. All this, after you’ve already watched a few of your mates’ cars plunge over the cliff and smash
Thomas Sowell wrote that, “Liberals take positions that make them look good and feel good — and show very little interest in the actual consequences for others, even when liberal policies are leaving havoc in their wake”. We’re seeing the proof of that aphorism right now, in Australia’s remote
Insanity, it is said, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. In which case, we have to conclude that the Climate Cult is absolutely barking. I mean, as if we didn’t know that already, but it’s one thing to see liberal
It’s one thing to read the many stories of people adversely affected by the Covid vaccines, quite another to see one in the flesh. I first met Faith Ranson and her mother Tania in November last year, at one of a series of rallies held across Tasmania as part
I’m starting to feel a bit like Phil Connors. No, I’m not waking up to Sonny and Cher every morning, thank god — but I am getting this weird feeling of deja vu. Is it 2010 again? Because we’ve got a gormless Labor PM again, following almost the
Victoria can’t afford to keep its emergency 000 call system running, and stroke patients are being treated in tents in carparks, but Dan Andrews has tens of millions to spare for… netball. Once again, the Great Unwatched are leeching off long-suffering taxpayers. But that’s just the tip of

We hear a lot of lecturing from the media-political establishment these days about “extremism”. Coincidentally, I’m sure, it’s always “extremism” from their political opposites. BLM and Antifa, for instance, are rarely described as “violent extremists”, despite billions of dollars of property damage and dozens of murders stemming from
When is a gang not a gang? When it’s a group of “networked criminal offenders”. When is a random attack not random? When it’s “random” but “believed to be linked”. When is ethnic-based crime not ethnic-based crime? When media and police won’t tell you what the ethnicity
When you’re at the top, there’s only one way left for you to go — and the earlier you peak, the sooner you’ll start going downhill. This was the brutal lesson of the Kevin Rudd prime ministership. “Kevin07” went roaring straight to the top of the opinion polls,
If you’ve tried reasoning with a religious cultist or an Amway representative, you know how it goes. They’re completely immune to evidence and persuasion. Every time you show where they’re wrong, they simple switch to the next rote-learned talking-point that’s been debunked a dozen points. Even
It’s dizzying, trying to keep up with the left’s spin and turn-abouts. One minute, they’re furiously silence anyone who tries to talk about appalling domestic violence in Aboriginal communities, the next, they’re wringing their hankies that no one told them about appalling domestic violence in Aboriginal
Australia continues to revel in the diverse, vibrant tapestry of mass migration and capital-Multiculturalism. First we had the terror attacks, then the forced child marriages — now it’s time for the “honour” killings. A family accused of trying to kill a young Muslim woman in “an attempted honour killing” in
The Anthony Albanese government has handed down its first budget, and it’s a shocker. Even Labor’s taxpayer-funded media wing, the ABC, concedes that “The poor will pay” while “the rich […] will do fine”. Grabbing particular headlines is Labor’s turn-around on power prices: after promising no less than
