One of my farming friends used to say, “Never criticise farming while you’ve got a full belly”. While a bit long on self-righteousness (the same farmer also freely acknowledges that many farmers are prone to whinging and demanding handouts), there is a rock-solid foundation of truth: without agriculture, you
Join Dieuwe de Boer and Tim Wilms at 9pm this evening for what is bound to be an explosive Guy Fawkes special. We’ll be talking the Melbourne Cup, Andrew Little’s proposed Ministry of Truth, this week’s Shane Jones outrage, and other positioning for the 2020 election. Australia
In the latest eructation of millenarian lunacy, the ridiculous street pantomimes of the bourgeois climate cult called “Extinction Rebellion”, they have largely got away with their massive public temper-tantrum because both public and authorities have been caught off-guard. But, just as members of the public are starting to ark up
Another day, another Muslim whining about “oppression” and “racism”. Given Muslim majority countries’ marked intolerance of anyone else, it’s somewhat remarkable just how fragile a glass jaw many Muslims seem to develop when they’re in the minority. Even in Sydney, where commuters have been advised against wearing Christian
As the shock – to them, at least – of losing last May’s federal election, reverberates through Australian Labor, two distinct schools of thought are emerging. The majority consensus in the red corner seems to be that Labor did nothing wrong, got its policies exactly right, and that their loss was
As we recently reported at The BFD, the useless idiots of the Australian left are once again defying public opinion, by campaigning for the repatriation of “jihadi brides”. Australians have overwhelmingly made it clear that the refuse of the defeated caliphate is simply not wanted here. But the left-elite think
Presented in association with The Unshackled. Trans-Tasman Talk (TTT) is hosted by Tim Wilms from Melbourne and Dieuwe de Boer from Auckland. The show debuts every Tuesday at 9pm New Zealand time and 7pm Melbourne time. Episodes are broadcast live on Youtube via Right Minds, The Unshackled, and The BDF.
Listening to the ABC on the radio last year, a couple of earnest, bog-standard lefties were discussing the Trump presidency and clutching their pearls. “He’s upsetting the established global order!” they wailed. That’s the whole damn point! I fumed to myself. If the American people had wanted to
The most striking thing about the whole climate alarmism cult is just how thoroughly bourgeois it all is. Extinction Rebellion are a bunch of Etonian toffs playing dress-ups and inconveniencing working-class people. The “schools strikes” are awash with private school blazers. “Climate summits” are religious holidays for celebrities, a mix
Intersectionality is the gift that keeps on giving to the mendacious, deluded and just plain wicked. It seems you can get away with just about anything if you can tally up enough victim points. Just ask Jussy Smollett. Here in Australia, all manner of offenders have been excused or treated
If it’s not bad enough that globalist institutions like the UN are openly admitting that climate change alarmism is just leverage for imposing their wealth redistribution agenda, shiftless corporations are getting in on the act. Wherever there’re mounds of government money, you’ll always find rent-seekers with their
Not content with doing everything they can to stymie the removal from this country of a pair of former Tamil Tigers, the Australian left-elite are wringing their hands over the fate of ISIS jihadis. The majority of Australians have bluntly rejected the notion of returning their former countrymen who flocked
While the Krazy Klimate Kult and their poster girl Greta do a bang-up job of stamping their little feets and shaking their little fists, they’re notably deficient when it comes to explaining just how they’ll implement their ludicrous demands. That’s because the whole “climate emergency” hysteria is
Thanks to the watermelon wreckers of the last parliament, Australia is once again being plagued with fakefugees and their boat-chasing lawyers. When the likes of Kerryn Phelps, whose six months in parliament was half a year too long, and Labor’s unflushable Quota Queen, Kristina Keneally, forced through their “Medevac”
Well, well, well: after years of obfuscation and denial, Victoria Police have finally deigned to notice that Melbourne just might have a teensy problem with African gang crime. In fact, they’ve backflipped in the most spectacular fashion. Police have arrested 57 young criminals in a series of raids spanning
The long-running battle to oust union bully-boy John Setka from the Australian Labor Party was a battle that new leader Anthony Albanese had to win. Already struggling to drag the party back to within coo-ee of the political centre, and abandon the farrago of far-left nonsense that cost it so
