Fight Fire With Fire
Viv Forbes Viv Forbes is Executive Director of the Saltbush Club. He has had long experience of bushfires in Queensland and NT – lighting, fighting and cleaning up after them. Background: Australian Government promises A$11M for more flashy water bombers. More Water Bombers? No – Fight Fire with Fire. In a
BREAKING the Labour-lite Shackles
Watching the UK election and how it unfolded induced something of a longing to a return to the FPP system of voting. Whether it has appeal or not, what the UK election showed is that it is easier to get the desired result if enough people want it. It avoids
Mob Gloating Over Pell Verdict Demeans Rule of Law
I’m not a Catholic. I abhor paedophilia. I’m not particularly enamoured of George Pell. Yet, I can’t escape the uneasy feeling that the most egregious miscarriage of justice in Australia since the Chamberlains has been perpetrated in Pell’s case. What’s even more telling is that
Fake News Guardian SMEARS PM Morrison
“Fake news” is rarely just making things up and telling straight-out lies. In fact, the most insidious forms of fake news are “misleading use of information to frame an issue or an individual”, especially via misleading headlines and biased or slanted reporting. The Guardian has gone full Fake News
Covering Up Sex Abuse: It’s a Trans-Tasman Labor Tradition
For all the political left’s furious “MeToo” grandstanding, it might reasonably be asked if the only reason they think all men are rapists is because they judge all men by the men of the left. As The BFD readers will be well aware, there seems to be an ongoing
Australia Reaps the Outcomes of Modern Educayshun
Australia once led the world in education standards. Then we had the Long March through the institutions. Australian education became “progressive” and “inclusive”. The “latest pegagogies” and “21st century learning styles” were embraced by education bureaucrats and teachers’ unions alike. And the results are in. Australian education rankings have steadily
Tree Hugger or Dead Root?
The Greens – where do they find ‘em? In a party rife with old-school Stalinists, anti-Semites, and candidates who openly brag about shop-lifting and drug abuse, you’d think the Greens couldn’t go any lower. Hold my skinny almond latte, says a Sydney Greens candidate. A Greens
Morrison Delivers Early Christmas Gifts to Aussie Voters
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been playing political Santa this week and handing out the goodies to Australian voters. While Labor and the Greens (with the astonishing collusion of Pauline Hanson) stiffed us with a lump of coal, by rejecting the government’s union-busting Ensuring Integrity bill, Santa Morrison
Folau Case Resolved – at Least in Part
Australian Family Coalition The long-running Israel Folau case was resolved this week (at least in part). After increasing his claim against his former employers to $14 million, mediation sessions finally saw an out-of-court settlement reached. The details remain confidential. So, what can we draw from this outcome
Dodgy Deals, or Cautious Concern from Jacqui Lambie?
Patriot Realm Shaydee Lane All this fuss and bother over Senator Lambie’s secret deal is, in my opinion, just a storm in a teacup. There is a perfectly logical explanation as to what happened and all one has to do is look at the evidence. The big giveaway was
Australian Rugby Payout MILLIONS
I applaud the out of court settlement between the Australian Rugby Union and Israel Folau but I hasten to add that the Union doesn’t exactly come out of this looking anything close to squeaky clean and in reality; they could have avoided the whole thing had they not behaved
Better Stock Up on Narwhal Horns
Looks like its time for Australians to start keeping a few trusty narwhal horns ready to hand. Counter terrorism officers have arrested a Sydney man who they believe to be an Islamic State supporter who tried recruiting teenagers to act upon “extremist views”. Members of the NSW Joint Counter Terrorism
Boozy Does a Backdoor Job on Gullible New Zealand
Damn, I hate being right, sometimes. Remember when I warned you that festering parasite Behrouz Boochani was about to fasten his leech-like jaws on New Zealand’s pale, quivering flesh after you unwisely bared your bums to the greedy leech? Well, guess what? It’s my understanding that the
