Back when I still punching the clock every day, I was a member of my relevant union. Not because of ideology, but from simple, practical consideration. Union membership brought a raft of benefits, from discount movie tickets to free legal representation. These were the basic worker benefits that unions were
Here’s a great comparison of capitalism vs communism: The Australian government offers incentives of $2000 for Kiwis and $6000 for Australians to pick fruit and vegetables in Australia. In response, Jacinda Ardern threatens that people should not take up Australia’s offer, because she will severely punish them on
When governments and bureaucrats gleefully seized the opportunity for a naked power-grab enabled by the Wuhan virus, critics argued that not only do such authoritarian responses as lockdowns not work, but that the concomitant toll in other diseases and suicides would be even worse. The evidence still shows the
I’m not a huge fan of Tasmanian Liberal senator Eric Abetz, but he is one of the few Australian politicians to clearly see and publicly speak out against the the Chinese communist regime. Having myself several times called Xi Xinping’s regime the 21st century’s Nazi Germany, it’
According to the media and her own breathless propaganda, Jacinda Ardern “eliminated” the Wuhan plague in New Zealand. If that’s the case, though, why is New Zealand exporting the virus to Australia? There are fears COVID-19 could have been brought into the country from New Zealand after a
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
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
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
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
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,
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
