The Australian left continue to cover themselves with the filth of Palestinian terrorism. The same day that Greens politicians marched with Sydney Muslims chanting “gas the Jews”, and the Greens leader tweeted, not to condemn Hamas but Israel, Pakistani-born Muslim Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi tweeted that it was “disgusting”
Next weekend, both New Zealanders and Australians will go to the polls: one in a general election, the other in a referendum. In both cases, there’s a strong case that the future of our countries as liberal democracies is at stake. Australians are voting on whether or not to
I know I’ve often made mock in The BFD of NZ’s increasingly miniscule contribution to regional defence capability, but the truth is that Australia hasn’t got a lot to brag about, either. Sure, we spend more, both in real terms and per capita, than New Zealand, but
With less than a week to go till Australians vote on the critical “Indigenous Voice” referendum, the poll momentum continues to favour “No”. I say “critical”, because the referendum will decide one indeed critical issue: will Australia become a genuinely institutionally racist state for the foreseeable future, or not? According
Sydney is Australia’s City of Hate. On Monday night, Australia’s biggest city shamed the entire nation, when not only its huge Islamic community erupted into spontaneous celebration of the murder, rape and atrocities of Hamas in Israel — but police stood by and did nothing. Nothing, that is, except
No one’s ever accused Australia’s “Minister for Climate Change and Energy”, Chris Bowen, of being any kind of genius, but does he have to make such a point of being so dumb? When Boofhead tried to hose down growing calls for Australia to adopt nuclear energy, by claiming
The arse-covering and politicking over the disgraceful pro-terrorist celebrations and anti-Semitic demonstrations from Sydney’s Muslim community — and Greens politicians — are coming thick and fast. Although no-one is addressing the camel in the tent: that there is a segment of the Australian population, one with outsized
By now, you’re no doubt all-too-grimly familiar with the horrific details of the terrorist invasion of Israel. From late Saturday afternoon, when I noticed “Hamas” and “Israel” trending on X — hours before the media “broke” the story — we’ve all seen too much blood and horror for
Tasmania is a small place. It’s hard to know anyone who doesn’t know someone else you know, or isn’t related to. (Yeah, yeah, I know: cue the ‘two heads’ jokes. I’ll just point out that large swathes of NZ have a higher kinship intensity than Tasmania.
Insanity is said to be doing the same thing, over and over, and expecting different results. In which case, Australia’s ruling elite are barking mad. Well, we knew that anyway. But it’s one thing to “know” something, quite another to have it demonstrated beyond all denial. Because, despite
Once again, we have a government pandering to religious minorities in a transparently mercenary attempt to stitch up a powerful voting bloc. No, I’m not talking about so-called “theocons” and conservative Christians. Despite the left’s obessive gibbering about Scott Morrison’s and Tony Abbott’s religious faiths,
Astonishingly, there’s one member of the Albanese government who seems to dimly grasp the basic rule of economics: the allocation of scarce resources. Resources Minister Madeleine King is warning against the Greens’ and environmental groups’ lobbying against gas developments. It’s pure politics, of course: King’s seat is
For months in 2013, the Australian left-media was practically glued, en masse to the Gillard Government’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The ABC was especially salivating, dedicating hours per day to broadcasting testimony (by contrast, it barely mentioned the concurrent Royal Commission into trade
Dictator Dan may be gone, but his legacy lingers on in the smoking rubble of Victoria’s economy. It’s the second time in the past quarter-century that an electorally popular Labor government has left Victoria all but bankrupt. Indeed, Andrew’s legacy of debt outsizes even Cain’s
