Things That Make Me Go Hmm
A new business paradigm whereby Miners reward companies who refuse to bend to protestors is now looming in Queensland […] How delicious. Trust the Aussies to fight back in such a novel way.

‘The Attack on Christians is Existential’
New South Wales Liberal MP Julian Leeser says “the attack on Christians is existential” with a demonisation of Christianity seen in laws going through state parliament If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to share send it to videos@thebfd.co.nz
Just Send Them Back and Have Done With It
Yet again, the left have decided that they are born to rule Australia via unelected judges and fake Twitter “outrage”, the law and democracy be damned. Yet again, greedy illegal immigrants are trying to game the system, wasting endless court hearings and taxpayer dollars. And yet again, Labor are proving
The Hard Strategic Choices Facing New Zealand Part 2
As I wrote yesterday, New Zealand and Australia face some hard strategic challenges in the coming decades. Whether or not American power in the Pacific declines – and I suspect that rumours of its demise are greatly exaggerated – it remains certain that Beijing will continue to flex its military and economic
Crap Politician Demands Massive Pay Rise
Tasmanian politician Sue Hickey really does seem to have taken to heart the adage that politics is show-business for ugly people. She treats Tasmanian state politics like one of those revolting reality-tv talent shows: “Give me all of the attention and money!” It’s no surprise that Hickey is a
The Hypocritical Theolibs of the Left
It’s been said that if the left didn’t have double-standards they wouldn’t have any. Nowhere is this truer than when it comes to religion. The same people who pile abuse on conservatives over religion rush to exploit religion whenever it suits them. Labor senator Kristina Keneally is
The Hard Strategic Choices Facing New Zealand
For decades, the left in New Zealand has operated under the cosy assumption that the country’s relative isolation allows them to indulge their ideological conceits of pacifism and anti-Americanism. Leftist New Zealand politicians since at least Lange have figured that they can safely signal their virtues without incurring any
Aussie Council Kills Wildlife to Please Cyclists
Is there some sort of instruction manual given away with new bicycles, titled “How to be an utter twat”? Whether it’s their entitled flouting of even the most elementary road laws, or the visual horror of dozens of flaccid, middle-aged arses wobbling like lycra-encased blancmange, these ‘road-maggots’ seem to
At Least One CEO Isn’t Ready to Get Woke and Go Broke
The Long March through the institutions is almost certainly the most successful strategy the Cultural Marxists have ever adopted. Academia surrendered without a whimper in the 70s and 80s, the mainstream media and public service came next. Now business, the very foundation of capitalism, is under assault, and the surrender

Just Desserts…
If you ever feel, like I do, that the world is going completely mad, then this article will tell you that it is not… not completely anyway. You may remember that a cafe opened in Melbourne a couple of years ago. Run by lesbians (which is not a problem in
Kill Yourself Now, and Avoid the Rush
“Creeping Death” might sound like an old Hammer horror movie, but the reality is closer to the 1976 science fiction film, Logan’s Run. Although (often justly) dismissed as a plodding and pretentious, the film’s central premise is beginning to look grimly familiar: in the name of sustainability, everyone
Izzy Isn’t Backing Down
Israel Folau has emerged as the unlikely champion of freedom of expression in Australia’s culture wars. Unlike too many spineless cowards in the public sphere, Folau is not only standing his ground he’s also taking the fight right up to the wokescolds. Israel Folau has broadened his case
The Kiwi Second-Raters Dragging Down Aussie Rugby
Fresh from outraging Twitter wokescolds and spooking gutless advertisers by verbally bashing New Zealand’s Part-Time PM, Alan Jones is taking the rhetorical cudgels to another bunch of Kiwis. Well, to be fair, he’s not bashing the second-rate Kiwis infesting Australian rugby, but rather the Australian administrators who keep
Alan Jones Gets Last Laugh on Lefty Haters
Izzy Folau is getting a run for his money as the most unlikely, yet most necessary, champion of free speech in the culture wars in Australia. Alan Jones is a divisive figure, not just for the lefties who hate him with a passion, but even for many on the centre
