Despite the wave of convenient amnesia sweeping Victoria’s government and bureaucracy, some key facts have emerged about that state’s disastrously botched hotel quarantine scheme. Most damning of all was the decision to award the security contract on the basis of ‘diversity and inclusion’ rather than capability. Then there’
Daniel Andrews has broken his promise to the people of Victoria and broken the spirit of one of the world’s great cities. He’s also breaking the bank of the entire nation. I only lived in Melbourne for six months, but I worked in and regularly visited the city
Dave Pellowe goodsauce.news Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius gave a press conference yesterday regarding police enforcement activity over the upcoming grand final long weekend. Good Sauce guest commentator Topher Field had this to say about his stunning admissions: “Protesting is not unlawful, it’s a human right.” Watch
It was way back in May when I described state responses to the Wuhan pandemic as “the Moloch Option”. The cult of lockdown and restriction that has gripped Western governments is effectively sacrificing the young to save a small minority of the very old and very, very unhealthy. I was
You can put sprinkles on a dog turd. You can even try calling it “chocolate ice cream”. But that won’t make it taste any better. Similarly, renaming a dodgy bunch of eco-terrorists doesn’t change the fact that they’re radicals threatening the nation’s farmers in the name
Launceston has long grown accustomed to empty shopfronts in its CBD, a trend only exacerbated by the Wuhan plague. So, when a new shopfront opens it naturally piques local interest. The more so when the shop sports entirely Chinese-language livery, is stocked with row upon row of baby formula – and
The Soviets promised their people a worker’s paradise on earth – and delivered one of the most brutally murderous regimes of misery history has known. Such is the way of the left, whose high-falutin’ rhetoric and grossly inflated self-regard is at stark odds with the realities of their policy prescriptions.
The wheels of justice grind slowly, as the saying goes, but they grind exceedingly fine. Despite a litany of denials and official amnesia, the inquiry into Victoria’s hotel quarantine disaster is inching ever-closer to holding those responsible accountable. Already, then-health minister Jenny Mikakos has been rolled by her own
Would you believe that New Zealanders have a guaranteed right to freedom of speech? It’s right there in the New Zealand Bill of Rights: Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion, and belief, including the right to adopt and to hold opinions without interference and Everyone
Once again, it seems that Victorian premier Daniel Andrews is either telling porkies or is just the world’s second-most clueless leader. Andrews has, it must be remembered, repeatedly denied any knowledge of when or by whom it was decided to use private security guards for the state’s botched
The long-delayed “trans-Tasman bubble” is finally starting to open – and Victorian premier Daniel Andrews is caught out again. The first planeloads of passengers were allowed to enter Australia from New Zealand on the weekend. Most went to Sydney, but 65 Kiwis landed right in Australia’s COVID shithole, Melbourne, sparking
Jacinda Ardern’s landslide election is widely – and almost certainly, rightly – attributed to her handling of the Wuhan pandemic. But it is also true that Ardern was able to capitalise on the Chinese virus because voters are yet to really feel the effects of her panicked resort to lockdowns and
Dave Pellowe goodsauce.news FORMER Race Discrimination Commissioner, Tim Soutphommasane, took to Twitter to share an opinion published in the Sydney Morning Herald this week by leftist academic Osmond Chiu. When he’s not writing incredibly whiney fluff, Chiu does research for a ‘progressive’ think tank. As race baiters do,
Gladys Berejiklian has become the Fairy Princess of the right. The right of politics are zealously defending their favoured female leader against reputational attacks and staunchly maintaining that she is a strong, capable leader. That last assertion was already looking shaky enough. The Ruby Princess fiasco, for instance, was a
Christine. Monica. Stormy… Gladys. The annals of political sex scandals are rarely adorned with women named Gladys. But then, the women in political sex scandals are usually the ones embarrassing male politicians. This time it’s a female leader in the hot seat, embarrassed by her connection with a ne’
