Big Surprise: Mongo Is Just an Eco-Crite
As Judith Collins once said, the more a man assures you of his honesty, the more closely you should watch your pockets. The same is doubly, triply, true of politicians who blatherskite about “integrity”. The Australian Greens, for instance, pontificate endlessly about “integrity” and “getting big money” out of politics
Alcohol Restrictions in Alice Springs Leads to Reduction in Domestic Violence
familyfirst.org.nz Article first published in the Australian earlier this year… Incidents of domestic violence and assault have plummeted by more than a third in Alice Springs since alcohol restrictions were put in place earlier this year, following outcry from locals demanding for months that the Territory government implement
Canberra Keen to off Teens
Usually the state-sanctioned suicide enthusiasts at least wait until they’ve snuck through their medical suicide laws before they shove off down the slippery slope. Not in woke, wealthy, Canberra, though. They’re skidding off down the slippery slope before the ink’s even on the paper, let alone
Will the Ministry of Truth Fine Politicians for Lying?
In 2013, the Gillard Labor government tried to impose a new regime of censorship on the Australian mainstream media. A lot has changed in the last 10 years – but not the Australian left’s determination to tightly control information. In 2023, the Albanese Labor government is at it again. What
How Soon before They Outlaw Christianity?
How long before it’s illegal to be a Catholic in Tasmania? At the rate that stating core Catholic beliefs is being outlawed in the state, it only seems a matter of time. When a Tasmanian bishop published a pamphlet putting the case that the Church’s teaching is that
Albo Wants His Own Ministry of Truth
As the Western world barrels headlong into a New Dark Age of authoritarianism, Australia has taken the next step on the Orwellian slippery slope. The Albanese Labor government is trying to restrict the free speech of Australians more than ever before. The Gillard Labor government tried to take control of
Voice Polling Just Keeps Getting Better
The “Indigenous Voice” referendum in Australia is in serious trouble. With just months to go before Australians vote whether or not to change their Constitution, polls are trending steadily downward for the “Yes” vote. The newest poll shows the “No” vote winning. Australian referendums need a double majority to pass:
Alcohol Bans Pay Off in the Alice
The Australian left, like all left-wing ideologues, are all care and no responsibility. A “humanitarian”, as Orwell said, “is always a hypocrite”. The Australian left are hypocrites like no others. For all that they wring their hands over an “Indigenous Voice to Parliament”, the left turned a deaf ear
Justice Delayed in the New Moonlight State
Back in the ’70s, we used to joke about Queensland being a corrupt, semi-fascist police state run by slimy politicians and crooked cops. These days, it’s Victoria which wears the odious crown of “the Moonlight State”. The unhinged brutality of the police crackdown during the world’s longest
Yet More Dodging and Lying on “Voice”
To the surprise of absolutely no one, the “Indigenous Voice” referendum has been rubber-stamped by the political class, with the enabling legislation passed by parliament. Now, it’s up to the people to decide. But if the left want the referendum to pass, then they might want to stop
For the Many, Not the Jew
It was only a few years ago that Britain dodged an anti-Semitic bullet by not electing the odious Jeremy Corbyn and his far-left, Jew-hating followers. But Australian PM Anthony Albanese, another far-leftist, was more than ready to pose for happy-snaps with his Jew-baiting British
Bunfight over Getting into the Black
I normally avoid Hobart’s “Dark Mofo” winter festival like the plague. That’s because it’s ‘ooh, aren’t we edgy’ adolescent vibe is even more tediously bullshit than the average ‘writer’s festival’. For all their pretensions of ‘dangerous ideas’, these arts-nobblers circle-jerks almost always consist
