Building COVID Camps in Queensland

Building COVID Camps in Queensland

In recent days, PM Scott Morrison has firmed his stance on opening Australia up and “learning to live with Covid”. Clearly, there is a sense in Canberra, at least, that the Australian public is well and truly ready to move on. Opposition leader Anthony Albanese has been forced into an

Morrison Gets It – Will Ardern? Ever?

Morrison Gets It – Will Ardern? Ever?

The Australian PM has hit back at New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern over her continued pursuit of Covid elimination, rather than opening up and “learning to live with” what will become just another seasonal virus. Scott Morrison’s rare attack on his trans-Tasman counterpart (in contrast to the continual sniping

Is the Worm Turning on the Wuhan Bug?

Is Scott Morrison’s new-found determination to push ahead with the “living with covid” strategy a sign o’ the times? “Scotty from Marketing” cuts both ways, I guess. At worst, it means that Morrison can too often, on domestic issues especially, seem weak. Too ready to bend to the whims

Morrison Returns Serve at Ardern over COVID

Morrison Returns Serve at Ardern over COVID

As I wrote yesterday, Australian PM Scott Morrison is finally finding some domestic backbone and is pushing back against the recalcitrant Covid dictators in the state capitals. Morrison has laid out a “roadmap” to re-opening Australia, ending the rolling lockdowns, and learning to live with what is now just another

Council Shoots Dogs Because of ‘COVID Guidelines’

We humans are a funny lot, especially our weird sentimentality towards animals. We may sniff and shake our heads at the worst atrocities committed against our fellow humans but nothing stokes the flames of outrage like enormities committed against animals. Especially our closest animal companions, dogs. There is something about

Coming Up: No Fly, Because Flu

Remember when we locked whole states down and banned people from even gathering in their homes because of the ’flu? Yet more people die from the ’flu in Australia in a bad season than have from the China virus – and that without the obsessive over-counting of deaths and infections that

Morrison Takes on the Dictators at Home

Morrison Takes on the Dictators at Home

Yesterday, I challenged Australian PM Scott Morrison to take the lead in rescuing Australia from the clutches of little dictator premiers and public health bureaucrats. I doubt Morrison read my post, but, by a strange coincidence, he is finally finding something resembling a backbone. Perhaps sensing that public patience with

For Heaven’s Sake, Scotty — Lead!

If Scott Morrison can stand up to Xi Xinping, surely he can stand up to Daniel Andrews, Mark McGowan and Annastacia Palaszczuk? In fact, given that the first two are more-or-less puppets of the CCP, gormless little Mini-Xi’s, it should be even easier for Morrison to find the set

Australian Police Beating More People in the Streets Than the Taliban

Sundance theconservativetreehouse.com The events surrounding COVID mitigation in Australia and New Zealand continue to astound me.  The last several days in several provinces have shown brutal conduct and physical attacks by police, riot units and military deployments against the citizens within their respective regions. All of this activity is

Would You Queue for 9 Hours for a Nasal Swab?

Eliora Who in their right mind would queue for up to 9 hours for a nasal swab by a PPE attired nurse, working at a Testing Station? The answer is any New Zealander who needs to be tested for COVID-19.  Kiwis must queue for hours to get a long swab

At Last a Sensible Suggestion

At Last a Sensible Suggestion

Finally, we have had a sensible suggestion from a politician, and it wasn’t from Jacinda Ardern either. Aussie Prime Minister Scott Morrison has suggested we stop talking about cases. A focus on case numbers was very important when we knew nothing about this virus and whether our hospital system

Why We Shouldn’t Throw Open the Doors to Afghan Refugees

As The Australian’s Adam Creighton recently wrote, “the same organs that ritually hyperventilate about the detention of asylum seekers are the loudest voices in advocating imprisoning entire states”. They’re about to do both at the same time. Without a blush of embarrassment at their blatant double-standards, the left-media
