Senator Eric Abetz Schools Outraged Leftist on Basic Patriotism

Senator Eric Abetz Schools Outraged Leftist on Basic Patriotism

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,

Why Shouldn’t Gladys Berejiklian Be Publicly Questioned?

Why Shouldn’t Gladys Berejiklian Be Publicly Questioned?

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

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’

Another Government Home-Building Scheme Goes Tits-Up

Economist Thomas Sowell warns, in Basic Economics, that no matter how well-intentioned, government interventions in the housing market almost invariably result in a short supply and increasing cost. New Zealanders who’ve watched the Ardern government’s spectacularly failed Kiwibuild policy have grim experience of this economic rule. But

Dan and Jacinda: “Shabby” and “Fraudulent”

Despite the endless temper-tantrums of the left, we in Australia are lucky that we have at least some counterweight to relentless group-think in the mainstream media. Unlike the endless, mindless fawning of most, left-leaning, news media, papers like The Australian retain enough of their critical faculties to

The Wheels Are Falling off Dan’s Little Dictator Wagon

The wheels are fast falling off Dan Andrews’s clown-car dictatorship. Another high-ranking head has rolled, bringing the axe one step closer to the premier’s own neck; the public tide is inexorably turning against lockdowns and even Andrews himself is tacitly admitting that his extraordinary lockdowns have

Treat Andrews’s Denials With Caution, Says Ex-Minister

Finally, one person at least in the Victorian government has remembered something. A strange, COVID-induced amnesia had otherwise spread through Victoria’s government and bureaucracy as they were called to front the Coates Inquiry into the botched hotel quarantine program which unleashed a wave of infections and deaths.

“Living Treasure” Spiked for Criticising “Dictator Dan”

“Living Treasure” Spiked for Criticising “Dictator Dan”

The increasingly shrill defenders of Victorian premier Daniel Andrews are often particularly outraged by references to “Dictator Dan”. If you can criticise the premier on Facebook, they shriek, you’re not in a dictatorship! Except that, as we see, Victorians criticise the premier on Facebook at their peril. Zoe Bruhler,

Can’t Close a Gap in a Community That Doesn’t WANT Help

What can you honestly say about a community so steeped in violence and abuse that its teachers need security fences to safeguard their lives? These are the same communities where STDs in children are endemic, domestic violence rampant – and where five year-old boys are gang-raped by other children.

What Is It with Dictators and Trains?

Will Victorians soon be boasting that Dan Andrews made the trains run on time? They’re a weird bunch, my old home-staters. For decades, Victoria was solidly conservative, with the Bolte and Hamer Liberal governments leading the state for a solid quarter-century. But, from the 80s on, Victoria

Australia Builds New Alliances to Ring-Fence China

The Wuhan Plague has at least a couple of silver linings. Firstly, it’s given the rude shock that much of the world needed to wake up to the fact that at the end of the day, they’ve been dealing with a communist dictatorship. Consequently, many nations are seeking

Australian Businesses Welcome COVID Budget

Governments throwing around money is always going to be politically popular. But, as Margaret Thatcher famously noted, sooner or later governments run out of other peoples’ money. When the Rudd government announced its first stimulus measure in the face of the GFC – a $900 cash payment to all Australians – the

Budget Unleashes the Frydenberg Revolution

As I wrote this week, the great economic danger facing Australia as it struggles – hopefully – out of COVID panic is an explosion in government debt. Debt is not of course an evil in itself, as any business which has ever taken out a loan to finance growth knows. But, as

So Much for Jacinda’s Travel Bubble

So Much for Jacinda’s Travel Bubble

Jacinda Ardern dangled the prospect of an Australia-NZ travel bubble “before Christmas” as an apparent pre-election carrot. But two Australian states have gazumped her by already offering quarantine-free travel however Ardern seems rather less-than-eager to reciprocate. As a result – and no doubt also due to
