Nothing was more guaranteed to drive the Aboriginal Industry and the left into a foaming, spittle-flecked rage than an Aboriginal Australian asserting that, in fact, they owed a debt of thanks to colonisation. When Jacinta Nampinjinpa Price acknowledged that colonisation had brought a balance of tremendous benefits to Aboriginal

As George Orwell once wrote, far too much obvious nonsense, and worse, is allowed to pass without comment because too many people never bother to examine catchphrases. Consider, for instance, the pro-Hamas catchphrase, “From the River to the Sea”. This catchy little phrase is parroted to thousands of lackwits
Have they installed “Indigenous Only” drinking fountains in Victoria, yet? Because that’s the way Cucktoria is going, as its ruling elite seem determined to hair-shirt themselves for the heinous crime of their deplorable voters rejecting Anthony Albanese’s racially separatist referendum. After even Australia’s wokest state resoundingly

The defeat of the “Indigenous Voice” referendum, if nothing else, showed just what a grassroots, low-budget campaign can achieve against the assembled might of the elite. The Yes campaign had the backing of the government, most of the minor parties, and even prominent members of the opposition. Every single
With the referendum done and dusted, the activist groups behind it have dropped their masks of “unity” and “love”, and revealed their true, ugly face. Australians can heave a sigh of relief that we dodged the bullet of this lot. After spending a week throwing an epic sulking fit, an
As Lewis Carroll’s Humpty-Dumpty famously said, “When, it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less”. The whole point, he elaborated, is “which is to be master”. As history has regularly shown, authoritarian ideologies regularly twist the plain meanings of words in order to
The Australian revolt against the politics of racial division was so overwhelming that the “Voice” referendum result was called in just 90 minutes of polls closing. The excuses and tantrums from the left started even earlier. One of the common themes of the refusal to accept the result is that
They couldn’t do it. They just couldn’t control themselves. Despite vowing to maintain a “week of silence” after last Saturday’s referendum, the troughers of the Aboriginal Industry are right back at it, screeching, howling and tantrum-throwing. What set them off? A call for a royal commission
The legacy media may have clutched their pearls and shrieked when Donald Trump called them “the enemy of the people”, but a great many of the people agreed with him. And why wouldn’t they? Time and again, especially in recent years, the media have taken the side of the
