I happened to live through the Victorian Gas Crisis of 1998. When a catastrophic explosion shut down the state’s natural gas processing plant, the state went without gas supplies for 20 days. Victoria at the time heavily relied on natural gas for cooking and heating, especially in the commercial
Pondering the tendency of elites to the most extreme manifestations of gibbering climate hysteria, Australian columnist the Mocker has a theory: concentrating so many oxygen thieves in one room cripples their already diminished cognitive abilities. Consequently, people at those forums become irrational, paranoid and prone to hysteria […] It is a
The appeal by Cardinal George Pell against his child sex abuse conviction was yesterday rejected by Victoria’s Court of Appeal, a decision that has been met with surprise from legal experts and joy from advocates. The legal team for the Vatican’s most senior cleric convicted to date has
ACT Party: Last week, the prime minister was on the international stage and in the glare of global media where she normally excels. But she seriously stumbled by lecturing our friend and closest ally, Australia, about their climate change record. (This follows her earlier criticism of Australia’s immigration laws.
Sky News host Peta Credlin says Pacific nations need to stop subjecting Prime Minister Scott Morrison to ‘baseless sanctimony’ over Australia’s emissions reduction record. If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to share send it to videos@thebfd.co.nz
When the Tasmanian Greens and Labor conspired with turncoat speaker Sue Hickey to ram through radical “transgender” legislation, the true threat of the changes was assiduously kept from public discussion. The transgender activists and their pet politicians carefully kept discussion of the bill focussed on its least dangerous aspect: making
When a group of ordinary citizens in Sydney put aside all thoughts of personal safety and rushed to subdue a bloodstained jihadist nutcase running amok with a knife, there wasn’t a single Antifa, blue-haired feminist or gender-fluid pronoun queen among them. They were just ordinary men, doing what men
To mangle Churchill’s famous aphorism, if you’re in the media and you’re a socialist, you have no brain. If you’re in the media and you’re not a socialist, you have no friends. As Australian media figure Joe Hildebrand slowly swallows the red pill, he’s
Perhaps realising that Australian voters have had enough of show-boating media tarts – Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and Malcolm Turnbull – in the Lodge, the Morrison government has chosen to adopt a low-profile strategy since its May election victory. Gone are the days of Rudd/Gillard stunts like gathering the media to
Australia has a shocking history of paternalistic medical professionals and welfare agencies arrogating decisions to themselves and chasing faddish “theories” which do immense damage to the vulnerable, children especially. Despite the media left’s self-flagellating fantasies about an Aboriginal “stolen generation”, the truth is that far more white children were
One must be careful not to express hurty feelings in today’s snowflake world. At least that is what Alan Jones is finding out. He’s been told by his employer that if he makes any more remarks along the lines of suggesting Scott Morrison should shove a sock down
I first heard the news about last week’s terror rampage in Sydney via ABC radio. As I drove home, I listened to two earnest ABC types discuss the just-unfolded event for over fifteen minutes. They talked about the suspect running down the street, covered in blood, randomly stabbing people,

The clown-show that is the Pacific Islands Forum came to a fitting conclusion yesterday, with a rogues’ gallery of banana republics lining up with their hands out. But, in their greed for foreign handouts, Pacific nations seem dangerously blind to the wolf that they’re inviting into their complacent sheep-fold.
If Jacinda Ardern thought Scott Morrison was going to be intimidated by her and her little friends’ mean-girl bullying act at the Pacific Islands Forum, she was sorely disappointed. In contrast to Ardern’s constant posturing for applause from the globalist peanut gallery at the UN, Morrison reminded her of
