“Each- Way Albo” and “Scotty from Marketing” are both at it again on what is emerging as the defining Culture Wars issue of the election: transgender ideology versus women’s rights. PM Scott Morrison, who first backed, then backed away from, Liberal candidate Katherine Deves’ stance on transgender “women” competing
You’d think Labor would have learned to stay a million miles away from the issue of illegal immigration, by now. No matter what the nosey-nannas and inner-city pearl-clutchers might say, Australians long ago made up their minds about queue-jumpers in people-smuggling boats crashing our
While most of the attention of the Australian election campaign is focussed on the main stage and the two headline acts, there’s plenty of action going on in the sideshows. In fact, the sideshow alley of this election is in many ways the one to watch, given that a
Ok, this is basically the sentence from my worst nightmares, but if Anthony Albanese wins the Australian election, he needs to take just one leaf from Jacinda Ardern’s playbook. Ooh, I feel a little queasy after typing that. In fact, whoever wins the election should follow Ardern’s lead,
Word on the hustings is that Anthony Albanese’s disastrous first week has forced Labor strategists to frantically re-calibrate their campaign. Policy announcements are apparently being hastily re-scheduled — including what presumably would have been Labor’s last-week big guns. The frenzied re-scheduling is also playing havoc

With the Easter break over, the Australian federal election campaign is set to renew in earnest. But if Anthony Albanese was hoping for a campaign resurrection after the tribulations of last week, he has another thing coming. As BFD readers may recall, Albanese fell flat on his face out of
Well, it’s good to know that the legacy media even in Australia are playing catch-up to The BFD. The day after we ran the headline Can’t Tell His Arse from His Albo, the West Australian ran an almost identical headline on its front page. While it’s
The Greens leader has spectacularly failed the test of one of his party’s key policy obsessions. In the Greens’ policy literature, the invocation of the phrase “critical thinking” stands out, again and again. Adam Bandt yesterday demonstrated the opposite. When Bandt dismissed a journalist’s question by sneering, “Google
A thick, glossy brochure dropped in my mailbox the other day: it turned out to be Pauline Hanson’s One Nation election manifesto. Clearly, the minor party think this election is their big chance. Certainly, no other party’s election mailouts have explained so many policies in such detail (when
Day three of the Australian election campaign, and Anthony Albanese’s week isn’t getting much better. The opposition leader might have drawn some hope from a slight blunder from PM Scott Morrison — if Albo hadn’t immediately kicked the ball back into his own goal. For Scott Morrison, the
If day one of the 2022 Australian election is any indication, it’s going to be a lot more interesting contest than pollsters have assumed. Underdog Scott Morrison came out swinging, while media favourite Anthony Albanese tripped over his own feet with a howler that he’ll spend the rest
During the Covid pandemic and the brutally authoritarian government responses, modelled on Communist China, the supposed guardians of our human rights were notably missing in action. The same quangos who’ve spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars helping bogus “refugees” game the court and welfare systems, or punishing white
No one hesitates at life or beats around the bush in Australia… Everyone walks around with a perpetual smile across their face… Everyone gets around and nobody can ever get you down The Kinks, Australia. Back in 1969, when the Kinks wrote their paean to the opportunities in the Antipodes,
