“We are all in this together” has been the mantra of the Covid dictators. But while ordinary Australians have resorted to plundering their retirement savings to survive, the public service are doing very nicely indeed. In Victoria, the state which has suffered most under five – so far – lockdowns, the very
As I’ve explored in a series of Insight posts, an increasing number of thoughtful atheists are concluding that, in abandoning Christianity, the West has lost something vital. Unfortunately, a great many atheists are not so thoughtful. Instead, they’re parroting the adolescent bile of New Atheism and attacking Christianity
The very fact that the Australian government is bragging about “freedom incentives” shows just how far Australia has slid into the dark valley of authoritarianism. Unpack those two little words: Firstly, the fact that the government is even dangling “freedom” in front of us is an explicit acknowledgement that we
As you may know, The BFD and its loyal readership have put a tremendous effort into making New Zealand’s leading source of centre-right news and opinion cancel-proof. As MediaBiasNZ shows, of 15 major media sites in NZ, only The BFD and Kiwiblog provide a centre or right-of-centre perspective. The
When President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and use the US military to restore order in American cities burning from hundred of violent riots, the media-left lost their minds. Despite the fact that Insurrection Act has been invoked dozens of times in recent American history — as late as
When the goon squad handcuffed crying, pregnant Zoe Bruhler, in her pyjamas, in her own home and in front of her children, many people were shocked and outraged. How could this happen in Australia? All too easily. And it’s getting worse. Australia has, in just under two years, slid
I sometimes wonder if the Green-Left really are as stupid as they sound. Not just in their endless insistence that socialism will work next time, but for their apparent utter ignorance of even the most fundamental concepts of economics. Now, I don’t pretend to be an economic expert by

The unrelenting catch-cries of the pandemic authoritarians and bootlickers, after “Save lives!”, have been “Follow the science!” and “The experts have said…!” Except that we know the first is a lie: if the “precautionary principle” dictators and their lickspittles really cared about saving lives at any cost, they’d not
There are some things, Orwell said, that are so stupid that only an intellectual could believe them. But “intellectuals” ain’t what they used to be: increasingly, universities are turning out graduates who can barely read or do basic high school maths. And that’s just the Teaching graduates. Naturally,
