In a dark day for Australian democracy, Victoria’s “Dictator Dan” seems certain to get the absolute power he’s always wanted for Christmas. In return, Victorians are getting protected wombats and more rubbish bins. Welcome to Parliament of Wombats, where a gaggle of micro-party MPs almost no-one’s ever
It’s not for nothing that former prime minister John Howard took umbrage at what he called “the black armband view” of Australian history. While its fans would argue that it is a necessary correction to a “three cheers” worldview, the prevailing history narrative for the “intelligentsia” is little more
As we all know, there’s nothing a corporate green loves so much as the green of taxpayer’s money. They’re not so keen, however, on paying their “fair share” of tax themselves. The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) will release its final decision this Thursday on new rules

Kendi, one of the leading voice of so-called “Critical Race Theory”, demolished one of the key platforms of his ludicrous, hateful ideology. Kendi tweeted the news
One of the most remarkable things about perhaps the most sensational trial in Australia in the past decade is that Australians are forbidden to know who the plaintiff even was. Whatever else you may say about her, Brittany Higgins at least named herself long before the man she accused was.
