Naval Exercises Ramp up the Pressure on Beijing

China Bullying 2: The Targeting of Mack Horton

As a billion Chinese already know, China’s totalitarian panopticon state misses nothing. As millions of Chinese dissidents also know, the communists resolutely seek out and punish anything and everything the Party disapproves of. Countless Chinese students have learned the hard way that the Party’s tentacles reach all the

China Bullying 1: Trying to Strong-Arm Australia

China is behaving with imperial arrogance as governments around the world echo the fury of ordinary citizens at Beijing for its lies and cover-ups which (perhaps intentionally) unleashed the Wuhan pandemic on the world. Having grown used to bullying and punishing its own people the instant they step out of

An Industry of Incompetent Whores

An Industry of Incompetent Whores

By Heinlein’s rule, the Australian and New Zealand arts and media are riddled with incompetent whores. Which I, for one, wouldn’t argue with. And, if the incompetent whores in the New Zealand media get their way, they’ll all be government sugar-babies. In Australia, the incompetent whore squad

There have been some rumblings, particularly with over-zealous police fining people for anything from washing their

Morrison backs New Zealand First

Morrison backs New Zealand First

Now, don’t go getting too worked up, BFD readers. I mean, when I read the headline, Australia to ‘reconnect’ with NZ first, my curiosity was immediately piqued, too. But, no, Scott Morrison isn’t working on some dastardly scheme to bring down New Zealand’s coalition government by getting

Peter Dutton Has the Right Enemies

Peter Dutton Has the Right Enemies

You can always tell when someone is telling the truth about China just by observing how furiously China attacks them. Or, if they’re a Chinese citizen, by how quickly they disappear or how excoriating and grovelling their subsequent “self-criticism” and apologies are. Peter Dutton is not a Chinese citizen

Pell Witch-Hunters Must Face Justice

The time is long past for a far-reaching inquiry into the administration of justice in the Australian state of Victoria.
