I’ve already written at some length about how the Australian state of Victoria descended into a medically-induced tyranny. Using the ridiculously-over-hyped excuse of what, on all available evidence, is very, very far from the deadliest pandemic in modern history, Victorians meekly, even gratefully, submitted to an
Many years ago, there was a fellow in Australia widely dubbed “the serial pest”. Peter Hore grabbed headlines with a series of stunts that had no clear agenda aside from grabbing headlines. Hore’s successful headline grabs included everything from running onto the field of the Melbourne Cup to gatecrashing
Australian prime minister Scott Morrison too often lives up to this “Scotty from Marketing” nickname by treating issues as if they were just another PR campaign. Occasionally, though, he finds his mettle, such as in standing up to China’s bullying and lies. Defending Australia’s national day from the
For years, Australians have watched in helpless fury as more and more of the Aussie “farm” was sold off to China-based entities. From wineries to Australia’s oldest company, from strategic ports to entire islands, China has been gobbling up more of Australia’s land and critical infrastructure, while
Australia has blocked a Chinese military-linked company from taking over a major construction company – and China is not happy. Like any bully who gets a long-deserved punch in the nose, Beijing is lashing out. China has accused Australia of “weaponising the concept of national security’’ after a $300
Can we keep Michael McCormack as Acting Prime Minister? In just two days, Big Mac has done more to take the fight up to the left than Scott Morrison has done in nearly three years. First, McCormack got the left’s knickers in a twist by attacking Twitter’s ban
The plan to steamroll an Aboriginal ethnostate in Australia proceeds apace. Of course, its enthusiasts won’t call it that. They prefer to call it a “Voice” – whatever that means. Don’t bother asking what it means, because they won’t tell us. As an American politician famously put it,
Whereas New Zealand’s prime minister and foreign minister rushed to join the clucking claque of pearl-clutching cretins cheering on the un-personing of US President Donald Trump, at least a few in Australia’s government have scrabbled hard and found the withered remains of what once passed as
You can always tell when it’s January in Australia: the Christmas-New Year limbo starts to dissipate, the summer heat starts to ramp up, the first bushfires start to set the climate alarmists off…and the annual Festival of Leftist Pissing and Moaning kicks off. The highlight act of
“What’s he building in there? We have a right to know!” – Tom Waits Way back in the halcyon days of 2017, nobody thought to blink an eye or ask any questions when the Chinese communists decided to plonk a massive consulate building right in the middle of Adelaide. SA
The social engineers on the left have barely been able to contain their excitement at the limitless opportunities offered them by the Wuhan plague. Absolute state control over which businesses are and are not allowed to run. Dictatorial control over whether citizens are even allowed out of their homes. Daily
What’s a billion or so between amicis, eh? As previously reported by The BFD, startling revelations late last year showed that millions of dollars were secretly transferred to a company in Melbourne. The money was alleged to have been used to help secure the false conviction of Cardinal George
The most notable thing about the Wuhan plague is that nearly every one of the devastating outbreaks which have fuelled so much unwonted hysteria can be traced back to official incompetence. From the initial outbreak in Wuhan to the disaster in New York, the essential uselessness of politicians, bureaucrats and
In international relations terms, Australia is strictly what would be called a “middle power”. We’re not among the elite movers and shakers of world events, but we are far from irrelevant. In recent months, Australia has upped its ante from being a middle power to being what is called
A curious thing happened last week: China’s “wolf warriors” suddenly began to sit up and beg. “We hope that the relationship can come back to the right track as early as possible, and we would welcome efforts by all who want the relations to improve to make some efforts,
