Anyone who thinks Australia is set for a bright new dawn in China relations, with the election of Anthony “Mr 32%” Albanese, is kidding themselves. China is carrying right on with its bullying ways. The only difference is that now they’ve got the government they paid for — one which
Every time they open their mouths, the “Voice” gets worse. Anthony Albanese has apparently learned one thing from Jacinda Ardern: if you’re going to impose apartheid on your nation, do it by stealth. Whatever you do, don’t let the voters in on it. Most of all, never, ever
Anthony Albanese seems in an awful rush. Perhaps he senses that his prime ministership hangs by the barest threads. After all, his primary vote at the election was the lowest in 100 years — and the Labor party hasn’t exactly been kind to its own prime ministers, lately. So he
As Jacinda Ardern continues to try and dance along a barbed-wire fence with a leg in each paddock, the rip in her undies is getting harder to hide. Ardern and her Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta have spent the last few years playing an increasingly threadbare game of bowing first to
A senior Australian politician has urged Anthony Albanese’s government not to “capitulate to the demands of Jacinda Ardern” over 501 deportations, foreshadowing the domestic political battle Labor may face if it makes tweaks to the controversial policy.

My, my, how the tables turn… was it really only just a few months ago that opposition leader Anthony Albanese was sitting smugly on the sidelines, sniping at Prime Minister Scott Morrison for being overseas during a disaster, and only returning to stage photo opportunities in the disaster area? Remember
No one likes a liar, especially one who has claimed she never tells lies. Yet that is precisely what she did as she gracelessly attacked former Aussie Prime Minister Scott Morrison seeking to ingratiate herself with the new one, Anthony Albanese. It was a whopper of a lie too. Prime
Contrary to mythology, the quintessential Australian isn’t a rugged Outback type laconically shrugging off adversity with a “She’ll be right”. It’s an outraged suburbanite, shrieking that “The gummint should do somethin’!” Australia has long been one of the most urbanised countries in the world. Even by the
Would we ever tolerate the open bullying, brutalisation and intimidation being perpetrated on Australian soil by a foreign power, if it was anyone else but China? Has our national soul been so corrupted by Beijing’s money that we simply allow a genocidal dictatorship to do as it pleases in
Australia’s taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda network broadcaster is playing at being the Fun Police again. Taking a break from finger-wagging the long-suffering taxpayers who pay their cushy salaries about carbon emissions, alcohol, sugar or mask-wearing, the ABC is now targeting the last Australians still allowed to enjoy a good, old-fashioned
When Scott Morrison had the poor form to be caught on an overseas holiday, just at the moment that a bushfire crisis flared, the media-left went ballistic. When he failed to wade in for a photo-op that would have stalled rescue efforts for hours, the screeching was deafening. Then opposition
What is it with Labor and banging on like the Four Yorkshiremen about ‘ow they ‘ad it tough, growin’ up? I don’t think there’s a reporter or foreign dignitary who hasn’t had the pants bored off them by Anthony Albanese droning on and on about how he
Former PM Tony Abbott once challenged the ABC to decide just whose side they’re on. As Abbott observed, “A lot of people feel at the moment that the ABC instinctively takes everyone’s side but Australia’s”. Abbott was referring, at the time, to the ABC’s reflexive siding
Viv Forbes saltbushclub.com Information Opinion Congratulations to Ted Dwyer in “Spectator Australia” (25/6/22) for asking why Australia has bet the house on the US/NATO adventurism in Ukraine. There are few innocent parties in Ukraine today – an undeclared civil war has been simmering for this whole century.
