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
Have the wheels ever fallen off a government as fast as Albanese’s Labor? Well, possibly Julia Gillard’s: from the moment Gillard broke her clear promise, made the day before the 2010 election, not to introduce a carbon tax, her government was toast. All that was left to decide
The rather arrogant Prime Minister was quickly losing support after his/her historic election victory a year and a half earlier. He/she failed to appreciate the effect inflation, in particular, was having on the general public; the concerns people had at the supermarket checkout at the soaring cost of
If doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity, then we are governed by a classic of barking mad nutcases. Well, I mean, we already knew that: but they just keep on proving it in the most staggering fashion. When, for instance, the nation you’
So, it turns out that standing up to genocidal tyrants doesn’t endear your country to the “pacifist intelligentsia”. Australia’s combative relationship with China and plans to purchase nuclear submarines have helped pushed it nine spots down the Global Peace Index, an annual assessment of nations’ pacifist records. This
Climate has never been an election winner in Australian politics. Every time an election has been fought explicitly on climate policy, the climate cultists have lost. Kevin Rudd’s 2007 campaign focused more on pitching himself as a slightly more youthful clone of John Howard (how many times did Rudd
The definition of insanity, it is said, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Which means that the Climate Cult are barking mad. Well, we all knew that already. But it’s one thing to know it, another thing to see it proved over and
Should anyone really be surprised that the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has turned into a stupendous, money-guzzling white elephant? It was, after all, another brain fart of the same Labor government that gave us the NBN (original budget $29 billion, currently up to $51 billion and counting). In perhaps
freenz.substack.com An opinion piece from a vaccinated Australian writer, that is equally relevant in NZ. Yes it’s long, but I hope that some take a few minutes to read as it’s profound and wise. And it makes me wonder about the truth of those early reports
Tell me this isn’t a government operation. Right at the time that Australia is facing an energy crisis, power generators are making it even worse by taking capacity out of the grid. Why would they do that? Because, under the rules set down by the government, they will get
Viv Forbes saltbushclub.com Viv Forbes has technical and financial qualifications and experience. He has solar panels on his roof, but no vested interests in coal, oil or gas apart from diesel farm equipment and a diesel generator in the shed. Australia’s new ALP Government has gigantic green energy
As Anthony Albanese unpacks from yet another foreign jaunt since becoming PM just weeks ago, the country is rapidly falling apart around his ears. Lettuces are $11 a head, fuel is over $2/l, interest rates are spiking, and large parts of the eastern seaboard are facing blackouts just as
New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out With Science nzdsos.com Maria Zeee, from Zeee Media, talked to Australian Doctors in A Conference of Conscience series. Our Australian colleagues may have been less outspoken in the past two years, but they have come out fighting and they did not equivocate. In speaking
In just three weeks, the Albanese government has been thoroughly mugged by political reality. The party who boasted of a vague “plan” to “fix it” are body-slammed with simultaneous energy and cost-of-living crises, including the biggest interest rate hike in 22 years — and suddenly, the “plan” is nowhere to be
Information Opinion Back at the turn of the century I decided to step back from day-to-day activities at my company (doing actual ‘work’ was such a bore) preferring to be ‘Chairman of the Board’ in the background. Well, I am Chairman of the Board but you know what I mean:
