Is Tasmania experiencing its own John Key moment? Like Key, Will Hodgman is well-liked and leads a government of economic reform so well that Tasmania’s “basket case” economy achieved the rare distinction of becoming the fastest-growing economy in Australia. And now, he’s walking away from it all. Tasmanian
At the height of Australia’s bushfire crisis, what did tens of thousands of Greens voters across the country do? Had they ever put their hands up to volunteer as firefighters? Were they at staging grounds, dishing out breakfasts alongside the ladies of the Country Women’s Association (after all,
As the Australian bushfire crisis rages on, the dominant narrative of the media-elite is: “it’s climate change!” From vulturine green politicians to multi-millionaire Hollywood celebrities and scowling teenage brats, the consensus of the virtue-signalling ignorant is unanimous. But, just because these empty vessels are making the most noise it
There’s no bow too long for the screeching ninnies of climate alarmism to draw. Climate change has already been blamed for everything from a surplus of prostitutes to a shortage of maple syrup. Worse, though, is the unseemly haste with which green zealots rush to exploit any tragedy. The
As Jim Goad so aptly puts it, “The modern left’s heads are so far up their own asses with the idea that they are unimpeachably good, I suspect they may all soon suffocate to death”. But, for all their self-serving paeans to their own “kindness” and “inclusivity”, the reality
Dave Pellowe davepellowe.com “They’re not going to stop at marriage. Their goal is to tear down the family and every traditional institution in Australia. They hate me because I’m a conservative. And they hate me more because I’m a gay” – Wilson Gavin , October 2017 Subscribe on
The question is how can we, in reality, organise the exchange of leaders? The old saying applies – you can’t always get what you want in life. According to an article in ‘a newspaper’ Australians have flooded social media with pleas for Jacinda Ardern to take over as Prime Minister

As I’ve written before for The BFD, Victoria is Australia’s wokest state, and, one way after another, they’re paying the price for their “progressive” virtue-signalling. From rampant African gang crime to failing energy infrastructure, Victorians are reaping the rewards of electing socialist Daniel Andrews. Twice. What’s
Did New Zealand also have a “cultural cringe”? For BFD readers perhaps unfamiliar with the term, the “cultural cringe” was the wide-spread belief (at least among the elites) that Australian culture was inherently inferior, to British culture especially. Literature, music, painting – it was all supposedly better if it came from

Those responsible for these follies should face Class Action. Green Folly promotes electric vehicles but not one
Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and
As Australia suffers through its bushfire crisis, some have dug up some alarming Islamist propaganda from a few years ago. U.S. officials monitoring terrorist web sites have discovered a call for using forest fires as weapons against “crusader” nations, in what may explain some recent wildfires in places like
If bullshit were rain, then Australia’s bushfires would be doused in an instant by the tidal wave of effluent pouring out of legacy media and social media alike. Much of the most egregious verbal sewage is spewing from the mouthpieces of the green-left, but the right aren’t immune,
Truth might be the first casualty of war, but it doesn’t do so well in natural disasters either. The legacy media and the green-left are repeating endless lies, such as that “funding for fire-fighting has been slashed!”, despite the fact that even the Rural Fire Service Commissioner has gone
When a Tasmanian conservative politician dares criticise the darling of the local media-elite, the resultant indignant screeching on social media is as predictable as it is moronic. How dare a wicked conservative disagree with a green-left idol? The only problem for the social media peanut gallery is that the big,
