Walking the new puppy this morning, I saw a rather confronting sight at the local sports ground. A homeless person camping near the toilet block. This is a confronting sight, not because of any grudge against the homeless, but simply because it’s even happened. In all the years I’
So, Mark “Sneakers” McGowan has announced his shock resignation. But is it, really? Certainly, for many of us it’s come unexpectedly — but that may be only because we didn’t read the signs in distant WA closely enough. Tellingly, McGowan claims that his sudden resignation is due to “fatigue”
If there’s one thing that tyrants have always dreaded, it’s mockery. “Every joke is a tiny revolution,” as Orwell said. The Nazis launched a full-scale diplomatic offensive against a Finn whose dog mimicked the Heil Hitler salute. Sergei Popovich spent ten years in the Gulag for telling
Tasmanian independent MP Jacqui Lambie blew any chance of getting my vote when she shouted and bullied us in support of vaccine mandates. But Lambie’s Covidian bluster cut to the heart of both her problems and her appeal. Lambie is, if nothing else, passionate about issues. Including Australia’s
If the increasingly shrill and unhinged screeching from the “Yes” campaigners is anything to go by, the “Voice” referendum is losing badly. In echoes of the Brexit campaign, the Establishment shills are stopping at nothing to scaremonger, brow-beat and finger-wag their opponents. Including lying to our faces. Race
What will it take for Australia’s wokest state to wake up to itself? The world’s longest lockdowns didn’t do it. Staggering debt didn’t do it. Teargas and rubber bullets on the steps of the Shrine of Remembrance didn’t, either. Perhaps getting smashed in the hip
The default argument from wannabe socialists is, “But without government who will…” provide X or Y utility? As Aboriginal leaders in a remote Australian town are finding out, the people are quite capable of doing what we’re told only the government can. Aboriginal elders in western New South Wales
Post-election opposition leader is one of the most thankless jobs in politics. Almost always, it’s a poisoned chalice of party dysfunction and abysmal polling numbers. Who, after all, remembers Brendan Nelson, Billy Snedden or Bill Hayden? But Peter Dutton is proving to be made of sterner stuff. While
mercatornet.com Having recently returned ‘down south’ from almost a year spent living and working in the Northern Territory, I could not be more opposed to the proposed voice to Parliament. Like many other Sydneysiders, I used to support the idea. I was persuaded by slick messaging from public figures,
All but trampling on Australian electoral law, the Albanese government has poured vast resources into the “Yes” campaign for the “Voice” referendum. Ever-eager to be on the woke side, so have big business, big sport and the entertainment industry. The “No” campaign has been left to hang. And, really,

We’re all paying for Victorians’ woke bankruptcy. That’s the grim fact of Australia’s most left-wing state and its Stockholm Syndrome obsession with “Dictator Dan”. While it’s tempting to laugh off Victoria’s black hole as a self-inflicted economic suicide by “Cucktorians”, the simple fact
There’s no such thing as a free lunch — and no such thing as free money. The cashed-up Boomers who thought they’d make a killing by feeding rooftop solar, subsidised by taxpayers, back into the grid soon came a gutser. Not only was the feed-in tariff taxable
Back in the early 90s, a near-decade of Labor government beggared the Victorian economy. It fell to the Kennett Liberal government to fix it, by slashing spending, and, in an extremely unpopular move, imposing a specific “Cain-Kirner Debt Tax”. In a twist on the socialist Labor motto, it
In his initial testimony to the Sofronoff inquiry, the Canberra chief prosecutor alleged that there was a “conspiracy” of interference in the Britanny Higgins rape claims. Shane Drumgold quickly walked back his claim under scrutiny, but the suspicion that there was indeed an extraordinary level of inappropriate interference in the
Is Stan Grant Australia’s very own “Jussie Smollett”? As you will recall, Smollett, the black American actor, became a figure of mockery with his lurid and wildly improbable claim of a “racist attack”. Smollett was later jailed for lying to police. We can nurse no such hope in the
