Airbus Albo Lets Them Eat Jet Fuel

Airbus Albo Lets Them Eat Jet Fuel

One of the commonest criticisms of monarchs and peers is that they often act as if they’re above the rules that apply to we plebs. But even the Sun King had nothing on the entitlement mentality of some elected officials. Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese seems to be channeling

Jacqui and Pauline Agree: “P— Off”

If there was ever any doubt that the Greens are the most odious wing of Australian politics, the Queen’s passing has seen them proving it for all to see. As I reported for the BFD recently, the Greens’ leader, Adam Bandt, kicked off proceedings but was soon overtaken by

She Said This with a Straight Face

A billion-plus taxpyer dollars a year buys a lot of things, but self-awareness clearly is not one of them. This is, after all, the organisation that touts itself as “Australia’s most trusted news source”, even though almost no Australians actually watch it. The ABC regularly trails the free-to-air news

Young, Dumb and Full of Self-Worth

Having known and indeed being related to a number of teachers, I’m well aware that report writing too often consists of finding creative ways to say, “Could do better.” Oh, and not say, “Your kid’s a little shit and I hope never to see him/her/they again.

You Can Always Rely on the Greens

You Can Always Rely on the Greens

You can always rely on the Greens to be the worst people in the room — and they haven’t disappointed, as the world wakes to the news that Queen Elizabeth II has passed away. Australia’s living past prime ministers and current leaders, even adamant Republican Anthony Albanese, were united

Can Victorians Really Keep Holding Their Noses?

Can Victorians Really Keep Holding Their Noses?

In the late 19th century, Melbourne was dubbed “Marvellous Melbourne” due to its extraordinary, gold-rush-driven expansion from a frontier village to a sprawling Victorian metropolis in just a few decades. But that expansion came at a cost: Melbourne was also “the City of Dreadful Stinks”. It wasn’t until the

A Wong Answer Is No Answer

The easiest way to expose the fundamental ignorance of ideologues is often to just ask them basic questions. As Matt Walsh has so effectively shown, ask a gender activist, even leading “transition” doctors, “What is a woman?” and they are completely stumped. Similarly, ask a climate activist basic questions, and

Vic Libs: Time to Flush the Curriculum Clean

As the days slowly wind to the next Victorian election, the state opposition is finally remembering what it means to be an opposition. More interestingly, Liberals are going after the Andrews government on what are Labor’s traditional strengths: health and education. Going for Andrews’ jugular on health should be

Paedophile Keeps Laughing at Us

Some months back, I reported on the case of John Millwood, a Tasmanian (former) millionaire and convicted paedophile. “Former” millionaire because, on the very day his victim lodged a civil claim for damages, Millwood instructed his lawyers to begin divesting his estimated $8m fortune. So, now Millwood’s family and

Mo the Molester Gets a Free Pass

Is it any wonder that horrors like Rotherham and Telford were allowed to happen? As Nigel Farage rebuked a smirking opposition panel at the 2016 Munk Debate, a century of women’s emancipation in the West had ended up with “migrant” activists telling European women not to go out alone

‘What Do You Mean by Cost?’

It often seems as if the Australian left is always six months behind their bonkers thought-leaders in America, but in at least one case, our loony left was way ahead of their time. Americans might have AOC, but long before that dynamo of dumbassity, Australia already had Sarah Hanson-Young. “Sarah

Catholics Stand Up for Science and Gender

Catholics Stand Up for Science and Gender

As I wrote yesterday for Insight, science is undergoing its most severe crisis in centuries. Not at the hands of the churches, as so many internet atheists like to fantasise, but from a sustained ideological assault from within. Unto the breach has stepped none other than the Catholic Church — on

The Week (So Far) In Aussie Politics

The Week (So Far) In Aussie Politics

Well, spring is finally breaking, here in Australia, although a persistent La Nina is poised to send more of Tim Flannery’s tears flooding along the east coast in the coming weeks. But the sun is shining, the trees are blossoming and, no matter the weather, the politicking goes on.

The Dress That Won Australian Hearts

Newly-elected independent Australian MP Dai Le used her maiden speech in Parliament to thank Australia, but maybe it’s Australia who should thank her. After all, Le finally pulled the chain on the most unflushable turd in Australian politics, Kristina Keneally. As if that wasn’t enough reason for ordinary

The Demographic They Dare Not Name

Imagine writing an entire article on the Holocaust without mentioning Jews. Or the Cultural Revolution without mentioning Mao or China. Yet, somehow, the taxpayer-funded journalistic geniuses at the ABC manage to write entire articles about a spike in forced child marriages in Australia without once mentioning the dreaded “M-word”.
