While the Labor opposition in Australia openly crawl to the Chinese Communist Party, the Coalition government’s attitude is somewhat ambivalent. On the one hand, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg talk a good game about curtailing Chinese interests buying up Australia’s strategic assets – while the Foreign
Old Mate David Shoebridge is having a hard time keeping out of the news, these days. Whether it’s employing Marxist vandals or getting in Rich People Fights with his neighbours, Shoebridge continues the Greens’ tradition of mouthing off hard-left platitudes while living the most bourgeois lifestyle imaginable. He’
NSW Labor have long had an unenviable reputation for corruption. With the likes of Eddie Obeid and Sam Dastyari amongst its alumni, “Sussex Street” (the party headquarters) was (and is) virtually a byword for branch-stacking and bribery. “Hold my chardonnay,” says Victoria. Victorian minister Adem Somyurek handed over thousands
In news that should surprise absolutely no-one, it turns out that some of the Red Guards embarking on a wave of tantrum-throwing vandalism are employed by none other than Australia’s very own Stalinist party. The NSW goverment is considering tougher penalties for people who deface statues after
Pauline Hanson really has become the national gadfly. Her outrageous habit of saying out loud in Parliament what ordinary Australians are thinking continually irritates the media-political elite – and continually exposes their cosy groupthink for all to see. Pauline has a particularly gauche habit of tabling motions that challenge the
Thanks a billion, “Black Lives Matter” morons. That’s the estimated cost of your weekend of copy-cat protests by Australian leftist rent-a-crowds jumping on the latest leftist fad imported from America. Black Lives Matter protests are expected to delay the easing of COVID-19 restrictions by at
It seems to have dawned on even the dim wits of the elite that they overplayed their hand with last weekend’s copy-cat demonstrations. Australians are venting their pent-up fury after being subjected to months of unnecessary, devastating restrictions, and then seeing thousands of bandwagon-jumping rent-a-
Pauline Hanson is keeping up her inconvenient habit of saying the sort of things that ordinary Australians think without the approval of their masters in the political-media elite. One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says she finds it “frustrating (and) hypocritical of the government” that businesses were shut down due
In his How the World Was Won, Tasmanian writer Peter Conrad argued that American culture came to dominate the world because people just like it. Notably, this egalitarian triumph peeved the elitists no end. “The whole fucking world is going 100% American,” grumbled Henry Miller. “It’s a disease.” The
They’re not even bothering to hide it any more. “Stay home, save lives” was a con. A power grab by grubby politicians and authoritarian bureaucrats. In case anyone was still gullible enough to doubt it, their blatant political cronyism has been laid bare. Victoria Police closed a popular Mornington
Dieuwe de Boer and Tim Wilms discuss the latest news and developments happening in the Tasman. The prevailing narrative has shifted, but have things changed? COVID-19 has been vapourised and the remaining restrictions have been nullified by the actions of BLM protesters. Social distancing hypocrisy is rife amongst the
It’s a matter of definition that socialists are collectivists – especially when it comes to ideas. Followers to the core, they can’t have an idea unless every single one of their fellows loudly sings a chorus of agreement. Conversely, whatever one lot of them does, the rest are quick
You’ve got to hand it to Australia’s universities: the buggers have got more front than Myers. After years of denigrating Australia, undermining its national security by crawling to the Beijing regime and ruthlessly persecuting any of their students who dared speak out, Australia’s university sector is holding
Communist dictatorships have always had their useful idiots. Victorian premier Daniel Andrews is Beijing’s man in Melbourne. Andrews signed up to China’s bribery scam Belt and Road Initiative against the advice of Australia’s security agencies and in defiance of Canberra. Andrews’ motive is as much greed as
Victoria’s socialist premier, Labor’s Daniel Andrews, seems to have been emboldened by his unexpected increased majority in that state’s 2018 election. Chairman Dan seems to have decided that he’s now premier-for-life, like his idol Xi Jinping. Like Chairman Xi, Chairman Dan also seems to
