Has Scott Morrison Just Lost the Next Election?
For all the sound and fury of activists and their cheerleaders in the mainstream media, climate politics has never been an election-winner in Australia. Sure, Kevin Rudd banged on about “the great moral challenge of our time”, but that wasn’t why people voted for him. When push came to
Will Teflon Dan Ever Be Held to Account?
The madness of crowds is one thing, but a state of more than six million people succumbing to Stockholm Syndrome is quite another. Yet how else to explain the mad enthusiasm of so many Victorians for their odious, corrupt, incompetent socialist premier? Easily the worst premier in the nation, especially

The Workers Are Revolting against the Unions
It is easy for a lazy, bootlicking mainstream media to sneer at the protesters in Melbourne as “anti-vaxxers”, “right-wing” and even “white supremacists” (yes, our publicly-funded broadcaster seriously made this claim on their flagship current affairs show), but the truth is a lot more complex.
