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.
Here in Tasmania, we’re used to being the whipping boys for the green follies of Mainland activists. There’s a steady stream of FIFO activists in and out of the state, ever-ready to chain themselves to anything that threatens to make a profit. Mainlanders love to keep Tasmania locked
Gee, it’s good to know that everything is just fine in Australia, right now. I mean, if there was anything really bad happening, like an energy crisis, an inflation crisis, or external threats from an aggressive dictatorship, surely the prime minister would be staying home to deal with it.
The fallout from harbourside mansion prima donna Lisa Wilkinson shooting off her oversized, overpaid gob continues. To recap: Wilkinson used her speech at the Logies (Australia’s bargain-basement, hick regional version of the Golden Globes) to sound off on a high-profile rape case that is currently before the court. In
Never let it be said that the left can’t deal with the important stuff. After all, America may be collapsing into impoverished violence, with soaring inflation, spiralling gas and food prices and armed thugs attempting to assassinate Supreme Court justices, but Joe Biden did pass an anti-lynching law. That’
Rats and sinking ships come to mind: no less than four senior ministers, including the deputy premier, have suddenly announced their resignations from the Victorian government. This all just five months out from an election. Dictator Dan’s little rowboat is taking on water and listing even further to the
In a further blow to the already-shredded credibility of Bruce Pascoe, Australia’s wokest state has added a scholarly rebuttal of his pseudo-history, Dark Emu to school reading lists. Of course, Victoria being Victoria, they couldn’t just dump Pascoe’s work of imaginative fiction from school reading lists entirely,
Just 15% of Australian workers are in a union. Nearly all of those are public servants or other white collar workers. The only real redoubt of blue collar unionism left is the building trades, where being a union member is often simply a necessary evil of being allowed to work
If you study journalism, one of the things you are drilled in in your 101 subjects is sub judice contempt. This is the pretty basic idea that, when a suspect is charged and a case is going through the court process, journalists have to be very careful in what they
Another day, another round of japes, gambols and pratfalls in the clown show that is Australian politics. We’ve got the Amazing Albo the Backflipping Buffoon, Adam and his Disappearing Flag, and the magic of Lisa Wilkinson who rubs her ego and makes fair trials disappear. First off, the political
It seems that hardly a day goes by without Australia’s taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda unit the ABC shrieking about the “threat of the far-right”. The ABC has also spent months regurgitating the US legacy media’s lies and conspiracy theories about the Jan 6 riot. Yet it has no qualms
