As Australian PM Scott Morrison attempts to reclaim the political narrative from the firestorm surrounding the 2019-20 bushfire disaster, many rank-and-file Coalition voters have expressed concern that the government is surrendering to climate change alarmism. As usual, the Greens are ideologically blinded to every obvious cause behind
Dave Pellowe davepellowe.com Richard Di Natale this morning announced his retirement from politics, and his reasons make me want to stand up and applaud the long overdue display of right thinking and political priority. Here’s the important part of what he said in his tweeted announcement. “After nearly
Jacinda Ardern loves to big-note herself as the princess of compassion, handing out free hugs and pony rides, while drawing snarky comparisons with her supposedly flint-hearted counterpart across the Tasman. It turns out, though, that when it comes to actually doing things, as opposed to mugging for photo

As the most recent polls show, Australian PM Scott Morrison has been politically damaged by the fallout from this summer’s bushfires. No small blame is due to Morrison’s foolish miscalculation of the public mood, but much also stems from the subsequent hysterical opportunism of the political left and
What is it about lefty types that they seem to imagine that Australia’s suburbs are as dark and distant as central Africa in the 19th century? When former prime minister Julia Gillard made the gruelling journey to Rooty Hill (50 kms, 40 minutes by car), she packed enough luggage
You’d think that even running a fish and chip shop would teach you a little diplomacy. You know, simple stuff like don’t be rude to customers and especially the regular ones that spend the most. Newshub reports. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been caught awkwardly ignoring a call
The Aboriginal Establishment has made itself clear: dodgy “academics” peddling nonsense-dressed-as-history, and touting their alleged “Indigenous” racial credentials will be not only tolerated but celebrated. Uppity women who promote Aboriginal entrepreneurialism and rock the Establishment boat will be summarily clubbed over the head with a political nulla-
It seems that some on the left are panicking that their death-grip on taxpayer-funded academia may be slipping. Former Labor senator Kim Carr (a notorious head kicker for Labor’s Socialist Left faction) is horrified that Australia’s Education Minister wants taxpayer money spent, not just on Australian
The arse-covering and blame-shifting in the wake of Australia’s catastrophic summer continues with unseemly haste. It goes without saying that the odious Greens were first out the gate, trying to exploit the fires for grubby political advantage, even as forests, houses, wildlife and people were burning. Now,
Things are heating up for Bruce Pascoe, the alleged fauxborigine and author of the most ludicrously fanciful book on Aboriginal Australia since a Kansas New Age guru who claimed to be a wandering desert Aborigine made up her Mutant Message Down Under. The Australian Federal Police is assessing an allegation
The Australian government is obviously heartily sick of being finger-wagged by the holier-than-thou Ardern government. Especially over climate change. At last year’s Pacific Island Forum, Jacinda Ardern repeatedly threw pointed sneers at Australia, and PM Scott Morrison in particular. Ardern smugly declared that “Australia has to

… and will never do so again. There were a couple of reasons why I stopped donating. The first was because so many charities are effectively political activists these days. If I donate to a cause, I want the money to go to that cause, not to political advertising or activism.
For such a normally astute politician, Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison, was shockingly wrong-footed by Australia’s bushfire crisis and the political and media hysteria that followed. Slowly, the government is moving to recover from the political firestorm. While presumably judging – correctly, as it happens – that the federal government’
