The great Richard Feynman warned that “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool”. The problem, though, is that some people want to be fooled so very, very badly. So they’ll happily believe the most obvious nonsense, if it’
Despite the left’s mythologising about Whitlam and “free university”, during the Menzies era, almost all university students were funded by the government. But it was a merit-based system: score well enough on your matriculation, and the government paid your tuition. Teacher training, even more so: by far the majority
So Barnaby “The Beetrooter” Joyce is back. What does this mean for the Australian political scene? It means that both Labor and the Liberal wets will be worried. Sky News host Alan Jones says Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese “can now not win the federal election”. “His pathway to the Lodge
Sometimes, I feel like Shrek, losing his patience with the annoying Donkey. I just want to grab the media-political class by the ears and scream, “Can you just shut up about COVID. For. Five. Freaking. Minutes?!” Can we go one day without the hysterical shrieking about “new cases” (meaning, people
The Australian Senate has voted to ban the racist nonsense of Critical Race Theory from Australian schools. The left are shocked and bewildered. So naturally, instead of confronting the horrifying reality that CRT is a deeply racist, Marxist ideology, they scream and rail against a cavalcade of red herrings and
Let’s admit it: the UN is no longer fit for purpose and should be abandoned. The last remaining shreds of the UN’s relevance evaporated in the 1990s with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Since then, the UN has been little more than the plaything of despots, meddling
Groucho Marx would never join a club that would accept him as a member. On the other hand, certain women are determined to barge their way into any clubs that just don’t want them. HESTA chief Debby Blakey has added her voice to the growing chorus against The Australia
Ah, me, there’s no greater spectator sport than watching the left eat itself. If only they did it with their own money. SBS is Australia’s taxpayer-funded “multicultural” broadcaster. Which means that it’s even woke-er than the ABC – and watched by even fewer people. SBS has long been

Is it any wonder that Australians are so “vaccine hesitant” when it comes to the COVID vaccines? Unlike the British, who have basically been locked in their homes and told they can’t come out until they submit to “the jab”, Australians aren’t exactly rushing to bare their arms
Hoaxes are very easy to pull off, but very tiresome to debunk. Consider the Orson Welles radio broadcast of War of the Worlds: newspapers ran wild with claims that it sparked mass panic. That is absolutely untrue, yet the hoax is still widely believed. Crop circles immediately grabbed the tiny
Anthony Dillon is one of those Aboriginal people that the left-media don’t like. You’ll rarely see Dillon on The Project. You won’t see Jacinta Price or Warren Mundine, either. It would be merely churlish to suggest that that’s because Price, Mundine and Dillon are distinctively Aboriginal,
Nikki Savva really doesn’t like Scott Morrison. We know that, because she never misses a chance to remind us. Nikki was a huge fan of Malcolm Turnbull (remember him? Anyone?). Like many female journalists of a Certain Age, Nikki wet her “Depends” when Lord Turnbull of Wentworth ascended to
Studying 20th century history at university, I often wondered what it must be like to watch everything around you slide into the “Dark Valley” of totalitarianism. I wonder no more. Because I’m living it. Of course, it’s not on the scale of a Chinese in 1949 watching the
After spending 17 days in jail, with most of that time in solitary confinement, Pastor Paul walked out of the Metropolitan Remand Centre in Ravenhall, Victoria, last night and into the arms of his loving wife.
