For many years, a comforting myth endured in part of Australia: that, with the arrival of the British, the Aboriginal inhabitants of the land conveniently, somehow, just disappeared. But in recent years, an equally pernicious lie has come to rule the ivory towers of academia and the chic cafes of
Has anyone heard from Tim Flannery, lately? Hello? Tim? It’s odd, isn’t it, that Australia’s leading climate doom-shrieker only ever seems to emerge from hiding whenever it gets a bit hot. But when the rain buckets down, as it will in this land “of drought and
Mainstream media reporting on the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, especially from the ABC, focussed almost exclusively on the damning accusations against churches. This was not unmerited — but the one-eyed hyper-focus of the media left the bigger picture entirely obscured. There is no doubt
Mainstream media have been cock-a-whoop for the past week at the news that billionaire climate alarmist Mike Cannon-Brooks was trying to buy out energy producer AGL, with a view to closing down its coal-fired power stations. “Net Zero in our time!” was the jubilant crowing of
So, cross-dressing dominatrixes are just fine and dandy with the Girl Guides, but women — actual women — who stand up for actual girls’ rights are summarily sacked. As the BFD reported recently, “Guiding UK” (they’ve stopped even pretending to be a girls’ organisation) appointed as lead commissioner a man
The left like to blatherskite about their “compassion” for the poor, the underprivileged and the working classes. The gap between their rhetoric and reality is directly proportional to how far they have their heads jammed up their own digestive tracts. Because the harsh truth is that, time and again, the
Viv Forbes Viv Forbes has tertiary qualifications in science and financial analysis and no vested interests in hydro-carbon energy, apart from a petrol lawnmower, two petrol quad bikes, several diesel farm machines and a diesel generator in the shed. No country on Earth relies entirely on wind/solar energy,
Finally Scott Morrison has grown a pair almost as big as Hannah Mouncey’s. For all that he’s stood firm against China on the international stage, there hasn’t been a domestic Culture War issue on which Scotty from Marketing wasn’t prepared to fold like a cheap suit.
As I wrote recently, the scale and derangement of the media-political lies being thrown at the Freedom protesters, from Canada to Wellington, shows just how scared the elite really are. But it’s not just the politicians and their journalist lickspittles who are trying to smear the peoples’ movement.

The Morrison government’s confrontation with China is about to escalate, as Australia finally gets serious about its security in Antarctica. In a long-overdue move, Australia will strengthen its historic claim to Antarctic territory and push back against China’s expansion there. As I wrote some years ago, it
Few things are as obvious as rank hypocrisy — especially from elites. Whether it’s the “eight or ten fat gentlemen” of the workhouse board who berate Oliver Twist for asking for more gruel, or the legion of sleek celebrities and billionaires who lecture us about the evils of CO2 from
Roll up, roll up! See the Amazing ABC “Fact-Check” gymnastics! Watch your taxes at work as left-wing activists double-back-flip while whistling lies through their teeth! They can do anything! Except tell you the straight truth… As I reported recently, there are concerns that police may have
I have great admiration for retiring South Australian Liberal MP Nicolle Flint. But I absolutely disagree with her proposal to outlaw offending women. Let’s be clear: Flint has put up with years of appalling abuse. Stalking, rape threats, death threats — on line and in person. That this tidal wive

As I reported yesterday, it’s plain which Australian political party China wants in power. The Chinese Communist Party is doing everything in its power to buy the next election for Labor. Whether its Labor powerbrokers lobbying for China and hobnobbing with accused Chinese spies, CCP-connected businessman handing over
