As BFD readers will be aware, while butchers in New Zealand have been forced to shut, some NZ Muslims have complained that halal butchers should be exempt. The complaints have had a sympathetic ear from the Ardern government – notwithstanding at least one Muslim doctor advising his co-religionists to stop
Australian political firebrand Pauline Hanson hasn’t been holding back – as usual – about the Chinese communist regime’s complicity in the global COVID-19 pandemic and what Australia should do in response. Now, another maverick conservative, Nationals MP George Christensen, is going even harder. China should be made to pay
The “climate crisis” crowd have been notably silent, ever since the Xi Plague broke out. It’s a bit hard, after all, to stage attention-seeking tanties like glueing yourself to the road when the country is in lockdown. Apparently it took a real crisis to silence the incessant yammering
An NZ Herald cartoonist, a nasty, spiteful, leftist, oik at the best of times, recently published a disrespectful cartoon depicting his version of Simpson and his donkey. He even tweeted some commentary: If only it were true that Jacinda Ardern had finally cracked the Aussie nut. The truth is actually
We already knew that Chinese-owned companies were quietly mobilising their workers to scarf up Australian medical supplies to ship off to China through January and February. Right when the Xi Plague was peaking there – and Beijing was lying to the rest of the world that anything much was really
“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent” is a favourite quote of the character Salvor Hardin, in Isaac Asimov’s Foundation. Hardin is an agile politician who runs rings around bigger foes without resorting to blunt force. In the battle against COVID-19, lockdowns are the blunt force approach
China should be made to pay reparations for the outbreak of the coronavirus, but given they are unlikely to do so “maybe (Australia) can take back the land that their foreign owned corporations have as damages” says Nationals MP George Christensen. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has set the dollar value which
One of the major reasons the political and media establishment in Australia hate Pauline Hanson so much is that she has a habit of saying what the rest of Australia is thinking. And the rest of Australia frequently thinks things that establishment cannot and will not tolerate. When Hanson wore
Well, you’ve got to give Jacinda Ardern credit for her chutzpah, if nothing else. Just a month after she publicly berated Australian PM Scott Morrison, she is holding out the begging bowl. New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has asked Scott Morrison to temporarily lift the ban on
For years, ordinary Australians have watched in helpless disbelief as growing swathes of the Australian economy have been gobbled up by China. As they will, the political class have carried on with blind indifference. Even the mind-boggling stupidity of leasing the Port of Darwin to a Chinese company for
The Chinese communist regime inflicted the COVID-19 pandemic on the world, with its disastrous culture of secrecy and lies. Then, to add insult to injury, it starting pillaging the world’s medical supplies. The plunder first came to light in Australia when a whistleblower from a Chinese-owned property
O’Sullivan’s Law states that “any organization or enterprise that is not expressly right-wing will become left-wing over time”. This is in part because leftists tend to only tolerate other leftists. Multiple surveys have shown that conservatives are twice as likely as ‘liberals’ to tolerate different opinions.
As recently reported in The BFD, “daigou” (meaning, “buy on behalf of”) has become a massive business for Chinese expats in Australia. In many ways, daigou is a smart bit of entrepreneurship: buying in-demand Australian-made items and mailing it to the folks back home. Unfortunately, there’s a
It’s rather obvious what this show is going to be about. We’re only broadcasting on The Unshackled channel tonight as Tim doesn’t have everything set up at home yet. Dieuwe de Boer and Tim Wilms will be talking about the week’s news in New Zealand and
Australia often leads the world in leftist derangement. Before Trump Derangement Syndrome, our left-media elite were regularly working themselves into spittle-flecked insanity with Abbott Derangement Syndrome. But the curse that just keeps on giving for the left-elite is Hanson Derangement Syndrome. When Pauline Hanson first exploded onto
In the late 70s and early 80s, race hustlers in the United States discovered a new – and lucrative – tactic: lawfare. It was so simple: just level an accusation of racism at a corporate target and watch them rush to settle. After all, with ambulance-chasing lawyers willing to work pro
