Their ABC – Australia’s taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda outfit – is at it again. Where once, perhaps, the ABC occasionally remembered how to do polity-shaking investigative journalism, now it mostly does hysterical propaganda and grubby mud-slinging. The nadir of the ABC, perhaps, has been its unhinged witch-hunting of Cardinal George Pell. Even
We live in a time of universal deceit – and telling the truth is indeed a revolutionary act. Everyone from J K Rowling to politicians are learning at their peril the cost of stating the blunt biological truth: boys have penises. A West Australian mayor is the latest victim of the
So-called “economic nationalism” – the desire of local consumers to purchase locally made goods and push back against the “offshoring” ways of globalism – has been a bubbling undercurrent in Australian politics for years. The Wuhan plague has brought it to the surface. Surveys are showing that Australians are keen to ditch
Outsiders may have been excused for wondering just what was going on in Tasmania when our state passed its “transgender reforms” last year. The simple fact is that Tasmanians never voted on the laws and were given almost no say in them. Many were justifiably outraged that such laws were
Despite the left-media’s obsession that it is the only issue that matters, a succession of Australian governments have crashed on the rocks of climate policy. Successive surveys show that voters consistently rank climate as a fifth or tenth-order policy, well behind the bread-and-butter issues of employment, economy, health and
For all the “Closing the Gap” reports and billions of funding spent every year, the socio-economic markers for many Aboriginal Australians stubbornly lag behind the rest of the country. It’s surely without doubt that a huge contributor to that shocking discrepancy is the deplorable rate of Aboriginal truancy and
The Xi regime is bringing the iron fist down in no uncertain terms, both at home and abroad. At home, the Chinese Communist Party summarily squashed what would have been the world’s biggest stockmarket debut when it abruptly suspended the IPO of Jack Ma’s Ant Group Co. Abroad,
While New Zealand seems certain to join a conga-line of third-world banana republics happy to dance for China’s BRI handouts, the Australian government is moving to slash the strings that are firmly tied to Beijing’s seeming largesse. First in the Morrison government’s sights are clueless, socialist state
Tasmania is famous for producing some of the world’s best seafood, wine and lamb. Not that Tasmanians ever get much chance of enjoying the bounty of their own state: even if we’re prepared to pay through the nose for certain local produce, we end up getting the leavings
Australians are having a Globalist agenda pushed upon them and the police are being used to do it claims an article on the Advocate Me website. Central to the government response is the enforcement of their restrictions. Our police forces have been propelled into unprecedented circumstances and demanded to enforce
It reads like the plot of a Dan Brown potboiler: a high-ranking Vatican official embezzling, money-laundering and bribing, casting a net of corruption all the way to Australia. A Cardinal on the brink of exposing the whole, dark web is brought down by false charges of child molesting. Unlike Brown’

For several months now, Rugby Australia has been in possession of a transgender participation guideline developed by World Rugby in consultation with developmental biologists, medical experts and sport scientists.

“Progressives” are very big on the so-called “Precautionary Principle” – when it suits them. When they want to shut down a mining development, because it might endanger some previously-unknown species of obscure earthworm, why, it’s “precautionary principle!” screamed to the rooftops. On the other hand, when progressives assert that there’
There’s no end to the gravy train for Labor mates in Victoria. Including $2m awarded without competitive tender to a firm run by a former Labor candidate, to run a secretive spin doctor program while Victorians were under virtual house arrest. A Labor strategist who boasts that “public opinion
There were two years between the Watergate break-in and Richard Nixon’s resignation. There was a similar break between Bill Clinton’s infamous Oval Office dalliance and his impeachment trial. In both cases, what was judged most damning was not so much the initial wrongdoing, but the lies and cover-ups
