Once again, the taxpayer-funded ABC has proved both that it is irredeemably biased, and that so-called “fact-checkers” are in reality invariably left-wing propaganda. The ABC and its “fact-checking” unit have teamed up to “fact-check” Scott Morrison’s speech to the UN. Morrison hit back at the UN for banning Australia
“A little modesty might suit you better” – Count von Strack, Amadeus I have to admit that it pains me somewhat to write this piece, because I was briefly acquainted with Professor Tim Flannery, many years ago. While he was an affable enough fellow, even then he was given to some
We all want a cleaner, more sustainable environment, but effective changes won’t come from loony Greens or ranting adolescents. They will come from sensible decision making based on scientific data, not emotional rage. We should remember this when we are assaulted by strident demands from a generation which rejects
The manufactured delirium of the “school’s climate strike” is not just nonsense, it’s wicked nonsense. Nonsense, because not a jot of its hysteria is founded in scientific fact; wicked, not just because it is being exploited by dangerous political ideologies, but because it is diverting desperately needed money
As Labor leader Anthony Albanese’s struggle to oust union strongman John Setka from the party stumbles along, another rift is opening in the Labor movement. Labor is still unable to make up its mind whether it wants to return to its blue-collar roots, or just keep on its disastrous
If nothing else gives away the truth about climate alarmism, the propensity of its adherents to resort to denunciation, witch-hunting and lawfare in order to silence sceptics should remove all doubt. Michael “Hockey Stick” Mann has launched (and lost) a series of vexatious court actions against his critics. Climate alarmists
If Australia’s rugby bosses thought they had successfully got rid of Israel Folau, they’ve had another thing coming. Not only has Izzy hit back big time with a massive lawsuit, but it looks like he’ll be back, playing Test rugby very soon. Tongan officials have armed themselves
If you were to believe social media, Australia is a crime-free paradise where no-one owns one of those evil, scary guns, and mass shootings never, ever happen. All thanks to John Howard’s gun laws. The only problem is – that’s all a load of steaming horse-puckey. While Australia is
Scott Morrison has praised the US president’s “belief in America and its people” during an address at the Trump administration’s second-ever State Dinner. If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to share send it to videos@thebfd.co.nz
Once again, Pauline Hanson is being pilloried by the left-media for daring to tell the truth. When Hanson remarked, in relation to an impending Senate inquiry into family law, that – shock! – sometimes women tell lies, the left-media went into meltdown. Again. The usual leftist yakking heads shuttled back-and-forth around the
Donald Trump might be crudely merciless to his and America’s enemies, but he is generous and gracious to friends. He also doesn’t forget a slight. Consider his meeting with former Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, who got bounced while Trump tackled an Obamacare vote, and then treated to
Latest on the cash ban, which was presented in Parliament today, with Robbie Barwick from the CEC.
Sky News host Andrew Bolt has pointed to some “troubling” footage of Liberal MP Gladys Liu on Chinese television that is “endorsing her, in effect, even though she was in a contest with another Chinese candidate in Chisholm”. If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to share send
These two political figures are chalk and cheese with very little, if anything, in common. They rule from opposite ends of the political spectrum, where Trump is a nationalist, the powerful master of a booming economy, and Ardern a globalist, seemingly unaware that her tiny nation is limping along at
The treatment Australian Prime Minister Scott Morison is receiving in America highlights the stark difference in the regard in which New Zealand and Australia are held by President Trump. It shows the contrast between being a trusted ally and just a friend. It also brings into focus the disparity of
The clownshow that is Tasmanian politics careens on, honking and hooting, overstuffed with idiots playing to the children in the crowd. Launceston City Council, which is the political equivalent of being appointed General Manager of your local Bunnings sausage sizzle, is going all-out to cement Tasmania’s status of capital
