“Each Way Albo” Strikes Again

“Each Way Albo” Strikes Again

“Each- Way Albo” and “Scotty from Marketing” are both at it again on what is emerging as the defining Culture Wars issue of the election: transgender ideology versus women’s rights. PM Scott Morrison, who first backed, then backed away from, Liberal candidate Katherine Deves’ stance on transgender “women” competing

Labor Sails Right Back into Boats Trap

Labor Sails Right Back into Boats Trap

You’d think Labor would have learned to stay a million miles away from the issue of illegal immigration, by now. No matter what the nosey-nannas and inner-city pearl-clutchers might say, Australians long ago made up their minds about queue-jumpers in people-smuggling boats crashing our borders. Every time it’s

What Are the Second Bananas up To?

While most of the attention of the Australian election campaign is focussed on the main stage and the two headline acts, there’s plenty of action going on in the sideshows. In fact, the sideshow alley of this election is in many ways the one to watch, given that a

What Ardern Could Teach Aus Pollies

What Ardern Could Teach Aus Pollies

Ok, this is basically the sentence from my worst nightmares, but if Anthony Albanese wins the Australian election, he needs to take just one leaf from Jacinda Ardern’s playbook. Ooh, I feel a little queasy after typing that. In fact, whoever wins the election should follow Ardern’s lead,

Mediscare III: The Return of the Fib

Mediscare III: The Return of the Fib

Word on the hustings is that Anthony Albanese’s disastrous first week has forced Labor strategists to frantically re-calibrate their campaign. Policy announcements are apparently being hastily re-scheduled — including what presumably would have been Labor’s last-week big guns. The frenzied re-scheduling is also playing havoc with Labor’s preferred

Albo’s Got Them Ol’ Campaign Blues

Albo’s Got Them Ol’ Campaign Blues

With the Easter break over, the Australian federal election campaign is set to renew in earnest. But if Anthony Albanese was hoping for a campaign resurrection after the tribulations of last week, he has another thing coming. As BFD readers may recall, Albanese fell flat on his face out of

Easter Brings a Welcome Break from Campaigning

Easter Brings a Welcome Break from Campaigning

Well, it’s good to know that the legacy media even in Australia are playing catch-up to The BFD. The day after we ran the headline Can’t Tell His Arse from His Albo, the West Australian ran an almost identical headline on its front page. While it’s almost

Don’t Let Them off the Hook So Easy

Don’t Let Them off the Hook So Easy

The Greens leader has spectacularly failed the test of one of his party’s key policy obsessions. In the Greens’ policy literature, the invocation of the phrase “critical thinking” stands out, again and again. Adam Bandt yesterday demonstrated the opposite. When Bandt dismissed a journalist’s question by sneering, “Google

Are We Really Going to Let Them Get Away with It?

A thick, glossy brochure dropped in my mailbox the other day: it turned out to be Pauline Hanson’s One Nation election manifesto. Clearly, the minor party think this election is their big chance. Certainly, no other party’s election mailouts have explained so many policies in such detail (when

Albanese Just Keeps on Digging

Albanese Just Keeps on Digging

Day three of the Australian election campaign, and Anthony Albanese’s week isn’t getting much better. The opposition leader might have drawn some hope from a slight blunder from PM Scott Morrison — if Albo hadn’t immediately kicked the ball back into his own goal. For Scott Morrison, the

Can’t Tell His Arse from His Albo

If day one of the 2022 Australian election is any indication, it’s going to be a lot more interesting contest than pollsters have assumed. Underdog Scott Morrison came out swinging, while media favourite Anthony Albanese tripped over his own feet with a howler that he’ll spend the rest

Too Little, Too Late, from AHRC

Too Little, Too Late, from AHRC

During the Covid pandemic and the brutally authoritarian government responses, modelled on Communist China, the supposed guardians of our human rights were notably missing in action. The same quangos who’ve spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars helping bogus “refugees” game the court and welfare systems, or punishing white
