An episode of 80s sitcom Family Ties had one of its insufferable telegenic offspring eerily anticipating today’s Thunberg Jugend. Youngest child, Jennifer Keaton, jumps on the green-left doom-scenario of the day, nuclear winter, and writes an apocalyptic essay that sends her teacher screaming to a remote “island with sheep”
Australian Defence Force brass seem to think that the ADF needs to “redeem itself” and “restore trust”. But it’s not the ordinary service men and women who’ve lost the trust and esteem of the Australian public – not to mention the ranks. Australians trust and respect their troops. It’
One of the most startling things — in hindsight — about economic collapses is not just how long the signs were ignored, but how quickly the inevitable collapse hits. In his memoirs, Groucho Marx recalls how he’d grown steadily uneasy with the giddiness of the stock market through 1929, but his
Here we go again. Again. Again. Again. It’s getting so that I could just re-schedule these posts every couple of months: Victoria is in lockdown again. For all Daniel Andrews’s bragging about “superior standards” and sniping at Gladys Berejiklian, Victoria has the dismal distinction of being Australia’s
Well, that’s another conspiracy theory that bites the dust. Not because it’s been disproven – quite the opposite. Because conspiracy theories – in the pejorative sense – thrive on lack of proof. Conspiracy theorists likewise thrive on seeing themselves as custodians of secrets known only to a few. The last thing
If we were to believe the mainstream media – and who would, especially Australia’s taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda network – so-called “anti-vaxxers” are wall-to-wall wicked righties. Apparently, the only time the right take time out from eating babies is to gibber “far-right conspiracy theories” about the Covid vaccine. But just because the
“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
