So, it’s official: WrongThink will not be tolerated in Australia. If our supreme overlords even suspect you of harbouring counter-revolutionary sentiment, you’ll be sent packing from our glorious socialist republic. Okay, so slightly hyperbolic — but only slightly. Because it’s almost precisely what the Federal Court’s full
One of the greatest fallacies of the Wuhan pandemic was the delusion by too many governments that they could just “freeze” national economies, turning them off and on like flicking a light switch. As we are seeing with, for instance, the spiralling supply chain crisis, it just doesn’t work

Lazy, greedy big businesses and self-interested politicians are suddenly pounding the

For two years, we’ve been constantly brow-beaten with ominous warnings about “overloaded hospitals, cuz covid”. Almost invariably, such stories were either lies — in the US, especially, where data shows the hospital system coped just fine — or business-as-usual in poorly-run public hospital systems in countries like Italy. In Australia, too,
Dictators invariably have a paranoid streak a mile wide. Which should be no surprise: they know they’re perched on a wobbly pedestal that’s always about to tip them in front of a firing squad. All it took was a crowd to start booing Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and
