Anti-Israel Academic Trolls Released Iran Hostage

Anti-Israel Academic Trolls Released Iran Hostage

Tim Anderson is a hard-left academic. Naturally, Anderson is fervently opposed to Israel. Equally naturally, Anderson found a long-time academic home at the far-left University of Sydney. USyd has an unenviable reputation for left-wing anti-Semitism. Another USyd academic was filmed at a “protest”, screaming abuse and waving money in the

ABC Tries to Memory-Hole Inconvenient Tweets

ABC Tries to Memory-Hole Inconvenient Tweets

Christian Porter’s defamation proceedings against the ABC have the potential to give the taxpayer-funded broadcaster the sort of clip over the ear it’s long deserved. ABC journalists have a deplorable habit of launching poisonous vilification campaigns against certain public figures – almost always conspicuously conservative. The biggest hurdle facing

Quotas Only Float Rubbish to the Top

Quotas Only Float Rubbish to the Top

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

In Canberra, No One Can Hear Aboriginal Women Scream

In Canberra, No One Can Hear Aboriginal Women Scream

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

One Set of the Five Eyes Remains Blind to WHO’s Bullshit

One Set of the Five Eyes Remains Blind to WHO’s Bullshit

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

Professor White Knight to the Rescue!

Professor White Knight to the Rescue!

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

Sex Scandal Mess Spreads across the Aisles

Sex Scandal Mess Spreads across the Aisles

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

Another Day, Another COVID Cash-in Election

Another Day, Another COVID Cash-in Election

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’

School Forces Boys to Apologise for Their Gender

School Forces Boys to Apologise for Their Gender

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

Labor’s Own Dog Comes Back to Bite

Labor’s Own Dog Comes Back to Bite

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

Dutton Has Had Enough of Twitter Abusers

Dutton Has Had Enough of Twitter Abusers

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
