Anyone remember Ken Done? The BFD’s readership is of an age that almost all of us remember the 80s, so you probably vaguely remember his twee, colourful cartoon koalas. Done is the former ad-man who made a motza out of doona covers and drink coasters, emblazoned with his trademark,
When I wrote, yesterday, that West Australian premier Mark McGowan is an elected dictator, dancing to the tune of his paymasters in Beijing, I worried that I was being hyperbolic. If anything, it appears that I was being cautious. Performers from regions annexed by China have been barred from appearing
Finally, some mainstream media reporters are catching on to what we’ve been reporting for more than a year: lockdowns do not work. Yes, I know I’ve said this before, but clearly I’ve got to keep saying it until the slow kids on the government benches catch on.
It’s a common trope of antipodean Porch Atheists to deny Australia’s Christian heritage. This is nonsense, of course. It’s true-ish to say that Australia is a secular democracy. It’s even more true that Australian culture has long nurtured a deep suspicion of overt public displays of
As I wrote some time ago, the Chinese virus has sent West Australia spiralling into an elected dictatorship. Sick with both an unholy panic over the Wuhan plague and an infectious avarice for Beijing’s cash, the state has voted itself an increasingly arrogant dictator. Mark McGowan continually snipes at
In a rather astonishing admission, media COVID-panic merchants are admitting that they’re lying to us. The admission is astonishing not so much for what it is – we’ve known for over a year that they’re lying through their teeth – but for its unabashed chutzpah. This is the media
Dave Pellowe goodsauce.news ASH BARTY has a secret which endears her, win or lose, to nearly every person in Australia. Too few athletes can navigate the temptations of the pedestals lent them by their sporting prowess with this simple wisdom as deftly as Ash Barty wields her racquet. The
There’s scarcely a public event goes on in Melbourne that it doesn’t trot out “the World’s Most Liveable City” tag. This was a gong awarded to Melbourne in the 90s and it’s been trading off it ever since. It’s a bit like the pathetic Uncle
The phrase “loony vegan” may seem to be a tautology, but there are some vegans who are so unhinged that they make the twits padlocking themselves to moving conveyor belts seem sane. They’re certainly doing nothing to improve the public image of vegans as deranged extremists desperately seeking attention.
If Australians want to know what an “Indigenous Voice” to Parliament would look like in practice, they only need to look to Victorian Greens senator Lidia Thorpe. Her nickname, “Snow Woke”, is well-earned. A veteran trougher, appointed by her party to fill a vacancy, rather than elected, Thorpe has spent
Dune author Frank Herbert once said that his most important message was that “Governments make incredibly stupid decisions and lie to protect themselves”. After 18 months of the Chinese virus, no one should doubt that. Australian and New Zealand governments, like so many around the world, panicked and made the
One of the enduring images of the Cold War was the defector. Communism was, after all, such a great system that communist nations had to actively stop their people fleeing. People wishing to travel outside communist countries faced a gruelling process to obtain an exit visa. What does it say
The ABC, Australia’s taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda network, is supposed to be bound specifically by law: the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983. Instead, the ABC apparently thinks that this entitles it to be a law unto itself. For a supposedly public-owned operation, the ABC is notoriously secretive, whether it’s
The Morrison government is being pressured to kiss Beijing’s arse and beg forgiveness. Quisling state premiers and greedy corporates are practically begging the federal government to shut up and take China’s money. But, to their credit, the Morrison government are holding firm. On the defence front, the informal
As we’ve recently learned, for all their skiting at today’s youngsters, it’s the Boomers who are the most narcissistic generation of snowflakes. Are they also the greediest? Comedian George Carlin (born before the Boomers) certainly thought so: whiny, narcissistic, self-indulgent people with a simple philosophy: “GIMME IT,
How quick we have been to hand over our hard-won freedoms, out of fear. A hysterical global campaign of fear-mongering over what, by historical standards, is a pretty run-of-the-mill pandemic, has exposed the modern West for the snivelling poltroons that we are. The Chinese virus is roughly on a par
