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
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]
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
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
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’
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
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
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
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
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
