In 2020, Melbourne’s police not only stood by, but joined in massive Black Lives Matter protests. Scant months later, they used rubber bullets and capsicum spray on anti-lockdown protesters. Where BLM protesters were not so much as fined, police smashed lockdown protesters, including old ladies, into the concrete. The
Liam Petterson Deputy Editor, Health + Medicine, The Conversation Is it time to rethink vaccine mandates for dining, fitness and events? We asked 5 experts The requirement to show proof of two doses of a COVID vaccine to do things such as eat out, go to the pub and visit sporting
I’ve been saying for over a year that the politicians and bureaucrats will never let us be free again if they can help it. I hate being right. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than by the ever-shifting goalposts on vaccinations. First it was 70% and we’ll let you
Australia has quite a track record for royal commissions. In just the 120 years that they’ve been legislated, we’ve had no less than 139 of them — and that doesn’t count the state-based ones. Everything from the butter industry (1904-05) to bushfires (2009) and institutional child abuse (2013-17)

Apparently Christian schools aren’t allowed to actually be Christian any more. That’s the clear take-home from the unholy furore being whipped up by the media over a Queensland Christian school’s request that prospective students adhere to basic Christian doctrine. Of course, that’s not how the lyin’
As I wrote yesterday, the Morrison government is neck deep in the unmentionable, if polls are to be believed. But then, that’s what polls said in 2019. It’s a foolish pundit who writes off Scott Morrison’s ability to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Still, can
It’s just over two years since I posed the question, has Morrison screwed the PR pooch? Two years later, he appears to be going all-out to drown the pups, too. The latest Newspoll suggests that the Coalition is at its lowest federal level since ousting Malcolm Turnbull. When I
China has blinked first in its diplomatic war against Australia. For over a year, the communist regime has been escalating its attacks on Australia and the Morrison government. “Crazy”, “Insane” are just some of the epithets the “wolf warriors” have hurled our way. Then there are the trade sanctions: enraged
It’s been a banner week for people getting a good, old dose of comeuppance. First there was Neil Young, daring Spotify to remove his music from their platform or ditch Joe Rogan. Apparently Neil didn’t take into account that he hasn’t had a hit in decades while
Do Australians really not know about the Holocaust? That’s certainly the impression you’d get, reading reports on a recent survey of Australians’ Holocaust knowledge. In fact, that’s exactly what the media are claiming. A quarter of Australians don’t know about the Holocaust that saw six million
As the great Australian poet Les Murray wrote, in his magnificent The Suspension of Knock, there is no end of cant and hypocrisy in the elite debate (if one-way fog-horning can be called “debate”) about Australian identity. “Our experience and presence, unlike theirs, are fictive ideological constructions.” The “we” in
How does it feel to be That One Guy? That person who refuses to admit defeat, and sits, muttering, “I still say…”, long after everyone else has moved on and is having a good time without you? I’m looking at you, Mark McGowan and Jacinda Ardern. Western Australia and
Mark McGowan and Jacinda Ardern have badly mis-read the Omicron room: when even your fellow Covidiots are mocking you, you know you’ve stuffed up. Mark “Sneakers” McGowan, the West Australian premier, and NZ’s Jacinda Ardern are perhaps the last politicians in the Western world pursuing an “elimination” strategy
