Dandrewstan: No Dissent Allowed

When Simpsons aliens Kodos and Kang conquer the Earth, they remind the puny Earthlings that “It’s a two party system! You have to vote for one of us!” Our own alien overlords, the major parties (Labour/National, Liberal/Labor, Republican/Democrat, and so on) seem to think much the

It’s Official: Novak Deported for Wrongthink

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

The Economic “Long COVID” Bites

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

Big Australia, Big Infrastructure, Big Failure

As I’ve been reporting, after a two year almost-break from mass immigration (the government still quietly snuck 50,000 migrants in, in 2021, while nearly as many Australians were locked out), “Big Australia” is making a roaring comeback. Lazy, greedy big businesses and self-interested politicians are suddenly pounding the

The Rod They Made for Their Own Backs

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,

We’ll All Be Rooned If Novak Isn’t Stopped!

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

Triumph of the Vaxholes

Possibly much to the disappointment of PM Scott Morrison, the unedifying Novak Djokovic saga is over. The Full Court of the Federal Court has rejected Djokovic’s appeal against a second visa cancellation and he has voluntarily left Australia for Spain. Why would Morrison be disappointed? Because he was clearly

The Lefty Elite Are at It Again

There are certain undeniable signs when it’s January in Australia: shaking off the holiday hangover and groggily remembering what day of the week it is, bushfires… and leftists getting in a tizz about either Australia or a Republic. Australians steadfastly support our national day on January 26 and overwhelmingly
