She’d almost certainly hate the comparison, but Tasmanian senator Jacquie Lambie reminds me a lot of Donald Trump. By that, I mean that she’s a political outsider almost accidentally thrown into the national spotlight and that she’s also what commo pontificator Phillip Adams calls a “maddie”. “Maddies”
When I visited New Zealand in the glorious, pre-COVID days of 2019, I was somewhat sceptical of Aucklanders who warned me about the traffic. Then I spent an hour crawling just a couple of kilometres along the Southwestern Motorway. But, if I thought Auckland traffic was bad, nothing prepared me
As we continue to slide, hell-for-leather, down the rainbow slippery-slope, the far-left lurches from one straw-man to the next. First, it was “homophobia”, actually almost non-existent in a nation where more than 80% of adults say homosexuality should be accepted – one of the highest results in the world. Now it’
Who knew that among Victorian premier Daniel Andrews’s hitherto-hidden talents was a penchant for stand-up comedy? Well, if the nation-wide chorus of guffaws that greeted “Dictator Dan’s” latest podium pontification are anything to go by, Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr might as well hang up their mics and
Once upon a time unionists and Labor politicians actually worked for a living – at least for a while – before plonking their arses on the velvet and sucking on the public teat for life. This at least gave them some sense of what their constituents’ needs and priorities were. Not any
Governments across Australia are facing a crisis at the moment. How do they hang on to dictatorial emergency powers when there’s no actual emergency? Easy: keep the fear whipped up to panic level by any means necessary. There are bugger-all Chinese virus cases in Australia right now, certainly none
It’s said that you can judge a person by their enemies. Jacinta Price has made some very powerful – and very telling – enemies, not least the leech-like Aboriginal industry which sucks away at the $30 billion of taxpayers’ money poured every year into “indigenous spending”. Price is also loathed by

Call me crazy, but I’m not exactly inclined to take seriously lectures on business ethics from someone who makes billions from a genocidal communist regime. Being subjected to pontifications on slavery from someone who cheerfully deals with one of the most notorious slave-owning regimes on the planet just, I
It’s as predictable as climate alarmism in summer: yet another pile-on of a conservative heretic by the usual deranged mob of leftist politicians and their journalist bootlickers – and yet another instance of “Scotty from Marketing” gutlessly ditching one of his own to try and “get ahead of the story”
Viv Forbes saltbushclub.com “Zero emissions” requires no diesel, petrol or gas-fuelled cars, trucks, tractors or dozers and no burning of coal or gas for electricity generation. But without nuclear power or a massive increase in hydro-electricity, green energy will not support metal refining or manufacturing, and domestic electricity usage
The leaners sure hate the lifters. Australian rock group This Is Serious Mum once described a proposed tour of a Melbourne “Arts” festival, where busloads of Melbournians from the suburbs would be slowly driven along St. Kilda Boulevard, where hundreds of the city’s most cutting-edge arty types would line
When Jacinda Ardern slammed New Zealand into stage four lockdowns, it might perhaps have made New Zealanders scratch their heads and wonder how such draconian panic could be reconciled with Ardern’s endless prating about “kindness”. After all, what was “kind” about preventing people being with family members at their
Yet again, the Chinese Communist Party is weaponising the moronic greed of a South Pacific panjandrum ruling a running-down island state desperate for cash. No, I’m not talking about Jacinda Ardern inching ever-closer to the poisoned carrot that is Xi Xinping’s “Belt and Road Initiative”. Papua New Guinea
Leah Gray mercatornet.com I am an ex-lesbian, as well as someone who experienced gender dysphoria as a child. Now I am married to a patient and gracious man and have a young son. Ten years ago I voluntarily sought counsel from Christian psychologists, ministries, support networks and people who
From Goethe’s classic Faust to Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore’s comedic version, Bedazzled, the message has always been clear: fools deal with the Devil at their peril. No matter how glittering the prize the Prince of Liars dangles before the naive and greedy, the Devil always wins – and
