As I’ve said before, Daniel Andrews really does seem to be determined to steal Tommy Bent’s crown as Victoria’s most corrupt premier. Victorian voters have, to date, not just tolerated Andrews’ nefarious activities, but rewarded them. Despite scandals from the Red Shirts to decimating the much-loved Country

As reported in The BFD, a Victorian farmer recently faced the Kafka-esque predicament of having to drive 40 sheep three hours to Melbourne, then flying them to Sydney, then driving for another six hours, just to take them a few kilometres over the border to the saleyards at Corowa, on
Dieuwe de Boer and Tim Wilms return in a new episode of TTT as all manner of crazy things happen in the locked-down cities of Auckland and Melbourne. We’ll talk about the news from the past week and then answer your questions. Subscribe and ring the bell to be
You’ve got to hand it to Victorian premier Daniel Andrews, he’s really putting his state on the global map – for the wrong reasons. I’ve reported for months that Victoria’s state bureaucracy, especially its police, have gotten rolling drunk on the unelected power they’ve seized using
Victoria became the first state in Australia to legalise state-sanctioned suicide – or, to use the preferred bland euphemism, “Voluntary Assisted Dying” – last year. It’s also taking its first steps on the slippery slope that death-fanciers insist doesn’t exist. More than 300 people have applied to end their lives
West Australia’s McGowan Labor government may be patting themselves on the back for apparently heading off Big, Bad Clive Palmer at the legislative pass on one front, but they can’t legislate away the Constitution. Palmer may have lost his bid for compensation over his Balmoral South iron ore
The reaction of governments on both sides of the Tasman to the Wuhan pandemic has been near-hysterical overreaction coupled with the most bizarre wishful thinking. Panic – and an innate taste for untrammelled power – drove the unacknowledged shift of the pandemic goalposts from “flatten the curve” to “elimination”. Bear in mind
Australia’s state governments haven’t exactly been covering themselves in glory over the last six months. There was the NSW government’s incompetent handling of the Ruby Princess cruise ship, which unleashed a wave of infections across Australia. Victoria has been a masterclass in failure, from its execrable hounding
Has anyone heard from Dr Kerryn Phelps lately? The pinup-girl of the ultra-wealthy Harbourside green-left used her brief, unlamented stint in parliament as a bully platform for everything the bourgeois almond-fussers hold dear. Not least of all their unrelenting fetishising of illegal immigrants. Phelps was basically a bunker-busting watermelon dropped
As if Melbourne isn’t suffering enough, the Andrews regime is inflicting possibly the most annoying selection of woke “celebrities” this side of the Democratic National Convention to finger-wag locked-down Victorians. Businesses have closed their doors forever, mental health is falling apart, and people are losing faith in life ever
One of the hallmarks of communist regimes has been their ability to lie outrageously to people who know without doubt that they’re lying. The question is whether the recipients go along with the obvious lies or not. “To assent to obvious lies,” says Theodore Dalrymple. “Is in some small
The Morrison government is hardening its stance against China even further. Just the day after the communist nation’s deputy ambassador unleashed a diatribe against Australia at the National Press Club, the Australian PM has announced new laws to curb China’s influence in Australia. By hauling into line treacherous
Another day, another announcement that more jobs in Australia and New Zealand are being killed off by the Wuhan pandemic. To add insult to injury in this case, though, they’re not disappearing, they’re moving. Right to the communist nation that unleashed the pandemic in the first place. Vitamins
For years, Australians have watched with helpless fury as more and more Australian businesses and real estate were taken over by Chinese-owned firms. This is not reciprocal trade or foreign investment: it’s a rapacious grab by the communist giant (even “private” Chinese companies are, by law, overseen by the
