Not Quite the Grim Reaper We Were Told to Expect
The Delta strain — it’s new! It’s highly infectious! It’s deadlier than ever! Except, only two of those statements are remotely true. That’s not to say, of course, that Delta, any more than earlier strains of the Wuhan bug isn’t infectious or deadly. Of course, it
The Left-Wing Quota Queen That Australia Just Can’t Get Rid Of
Australia’s Queen of the Unflushables is ready to take another swirl around the bowl. Kristina Keneally is the left-wing quota queen that we just can’t seem to get rid of. No matter how hard and often voters pull the chain, she keeps bobbing up from the s-bend of

Australian Law Changes Freeze Out Minor Parties
1848 has been called the year of the Revolution of the Intellectuals: 2016 was the year of the Revolution of the Proletariat. Much to the dismay of the intellectuals. As recently noted on The BFD, 2016, the year of Trump and Brexit, was the first clear sign that the centuries-old
UN Bullies Australia While China Lies
Slowly and steadily, the globalist elite are giving up even pretending any more. National sovereignty is being steadily crushed under the foot of transnational oligarchies. Few worse than the UN. Despite its foundational principle of the sanctity of national sovereignty, the UN is behaving more and more like a global
Media Are Terrified of Larping Clowns
If BFD readers think that their mainstream media are ludicrously paranoid about the festering racist underbelly of the Land of the Long White Supremacy, rest assured that even Paddy Gower has nothing on the arse-clowns in the Australian media. For over a week last month, the Nine Entertainment mastheads and
New Opposition Leader in Victoria
As I wrote recently, clearly the focus groups in Victoria have shifted their sentiment on lockdowns and curfews. How else to explain Daniel Andrews’s sudden turnabout to backing PM Scott Morrison’s roadmap for ending lockdowns and opening up Australia? Shifting polls remain the almost certain reason for Andrews’
Union Stands Up for Its Members for Once
Well, now we can add another phrase to the lexicon of authoritarianism: ‘‘medical retirement’’. This is the Orwellian phrase coined by the CEO of a mega-corporation to justify forcing medical procedures on its employees. CEOs have a knack for spinning snazzy euphemisms for vile behaviours: “downsizing”, “unallocated”, “normal involuntary attrition”
Victoria, Australia Will ‘Lock Out’ Unvaccinated People from Its Economy

Looks like Dan’s Poll Numbers Are Tanking
John Maynard Keynes famously said that when the facts change, he changed his mind. Your average politician would say, instead: “When the polls change, I change my mind.” Victorian premier Daniel Andrews has changed his mind. Clearly, the polls have changed. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has largely backed Prime Minister
Tear Down These Walls!
It’s a flashback to the most searing images of the Cold War: families separated by a border wall and police patrols. Except, we’re not talking about Berlin, 1961. No, 60 years later it’s Australian families who are being kept apart, even on Father’s Day, by a
What a Tangled Web We Weave
Mary Politicians in Australia are digging themselves a deep hole in their efforts to coerce mass vaccination of the population against Covid-19. The problems arise at several levels. First, it is now very clear that the protections offered by the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines are not long-lasting. Israel, with one
Why Can’t the Ruling Class Trust the People?
“Nudge theory” is the idea that the hoi polloi are too stupid to be left to their own devices so it’s up to their “betters” to herd them with carrots and sticks. This has been the ruling conceit of the elite classes ever since Plato grumbled that all that
