Like it or not, Margaret Thatcher must surely rank as one of the most successful women in modern political history. With 11 years in office, Thatcher was the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century. But beyond that, she fundamentally reshaped politics in the Western world for decades. When
Dave Pellowe goodsauce.news I have to admit I’ve probably lost my balance on this whole “March 4 Justice” movement. The Good Sauce · March 4 Justice? Our whole culture is the problem, not just “consent education” Because it is being politically exploited by professional enemies of the Morrison government
While the Canberra bubble has spent the last few weeks whipping itself into a self-righteous feminist fury about a bunch of gay men jacking off at work and a dodgy, decades-old rape allegation, a group of Aboriginal women travelled to Parliament to campaign for justice for a raped and murdered
Once again, New Zealand is undermining its Five Eyes partners against China. It’s one step forward, two steps back in the trans-Tasman relationship, and a PM too busy reading her fan mail to bother with piddling stuff like pandemic investigations. The only international relations matters Jacinda Ardern appears capable
It’s been said that Tolkien’s ents are a gentle poke at the academic circles of Oxford and Cambridge with which he was so familiar: a cloistered bunch of fussy old bachelors endlessly ruminating. It might have been thought that that particular academic milieu was long past. But, reading
To the surprise of absolutely no one except the clueless clown-show that is the Canberra Bubble, the Parliamentary sex scandal that Labor and the left-media unleashed against the Morrison government is quickly turning on its handlers. As already reported on The BFD, another anonymous, historical rape allegation is creeping its
The Wuhan plague has been devastating for a great many people, but an absolute bonanza for politicians. They’ve been given – or seized – carte blanche to rule as absolute dictators, locking up populations in virtual house arrest on a whim and summarily shutting down entire economies. For all that, they’
Once upon a time, children were sent to school to learn to read, write and master maths. Not any more. While parents still view the purpose of schooling as basic education, teachers and academics think they know better. Nowadays, children spend more time at school learning about 57 imaginary genders
The definition of insanity is said to be doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Which raises the question: are Australia’s politicians barking mad? After all, as I’ve written before, they keep trying on the same thing – idiotic, media-driven, Canberra-bubble scandals – and
As every conservative knows, Twitter’s rules aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. Like most social media, Twitter’s “Rules and policies” are a strictly one-way affair. Only conservatives are ever held to “standards”; the left, not to mention blatant degenerates, are free to do as they
While the Morrison government is rightly earning praise for its strong, principled stance against the Chinese regime, the fact remains that it is struggling to overcome a “silent invasion” that has spent decades white-anting Australia’s institutions, at every level. Whether it’s political parties taking literal shopping bags of
It might still be summer in Australia, but we’ve got plenty of snowflakes blowing around. A whingeing “Indigenous activist” has recently bullied Coon Cheese into changing its name. Now, in what a gay friend of mine characterises as “more flaming faggotry”, an LGBTBBQEIEIEIO activist is campaigning against another longstanding
Contrary to the popular saying, there are three certainties in life: death, taxes – and no free lunch. But the left are so wedded to the idea that anything and everything from the gub’mint is free that they’ve even come up with a fancy euphemism for it: Modern Monetary
As I’ve been reporting, the mainstream narrative over the sex scandal gripping Australia’s parliament just doesn’t add up. We’re being told that Parliament House is a hotbed of “toxic men” sexually harassing and abusing poor, shivering, female staffers and even MPs. Except that the more we
Tasmania’s annual Dark Mofo winter arts festival would be better named the “Look at Me, I’m so EDGY!” festival. The brainchild of the poker millionaire who founded the Mona gallery in Hobart, it’s of a piece with the “edgy” art gallery: a whole lot of attention-seeking tat
The latest eructation from Australia’s very own Ministries of Truth is that Islamic terrorism will no longer be called Islamic terrorism. Instead, it’s all “religiously-motivated violent extremism” – y’know, because of all those Amish terror attacks. At the same time, the Chief Spook, who has been issuing dire
