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.

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
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.

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
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
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

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
The long-delayed “trans-Tasman bubble” is finally starting to open – and Victorian premier Daniel Andrews is caught out again.
