I spent a lot of my childhood camping and hiking around the Otway ranges in the Australian state of Victoria’s south-west. This was one of the main regions devastated by the horrifying Ash Wednesday fires. I well recall the dense pile-up of fuel loads in the years
If you’re ever in doubt that Australian taxpayers are being dudded for the billion-plus dollars they flush down the gullet of the ABC every year, you only need watch QandA. The weekly leftist shout-a-thon is the quintessence of the ABC’s taxpayer-funded echo chamber. But,
In a now-notorious episode of lefty gab-fest QandA, a panel of privileged left-wing feminists (which is to say, a QandA panel) ranted and raved about everything from killing men to burning the place down. And, of course, that Australia was the most racisty-racist place on Gaia’
Tonight at 9pm, Tim and Dieuwe will discuss the latest in trans-Tasman news. There are raging bushfires in Australia and climate-induced madness in New Zealand with the passing of the Zero Carbon Bill. There has been public fallout from a feminist Q&A episode. A Maori land
An extraordinary demographic transformation is happening in rural Tasmania, almost without comment. Even in tiny farming hamlets, Asian and African faces are suddenly appearing in the main streets and shopping centres. Now, before anyone plays the tiresome “racism” canard, this is not to disparage the owners of those faces. This
Patriot Realm Can Pauline and Bob win Queensland in 2020? Ok, I know I am dreaming, as Darryl Kerrigan would have said, but wouldn’t it be fantastic if Queensland went True Blue, Dinkie Die, proper old fashioned and the pair of Outsiders won the election and we got our
Australians pay over a billion dollars a year for the ABC. That’s a lot of money for a broadcaster almost none of us watch. The ABC consistently scrapes the bottom of ratings. Of the twenty most-watched programs on Australian TV, just one is on the ABC. Why Australians
It’s a measure of how low the once-great Labor party have sunk that they’ve spent no doubt a massive consultant’s fee for two has-been politicians to tell them what any punter in the street could have told them for free. The only difference is that
The unabashed farce of the “Medivac” laws foisted on Australia by the left-elite just keeps getting worse. “Medivac” refers to the laws forced through by millionaire watermelon Kerryn Phelps, colluding with the Greens and Labor, in order to circumvent Australia’s tough border protection policies. Its intended beneficiaries are
Australia’s most “progressive” state, which last year re-elected its socialist premier, will be very lucky not to reap what it has sown, this summer. The Victorian government is vying with South Australia to be the most idiotically dedicated to the ideological fanaticism of pursuing “renewables” at any cost.
Did anyone seriously believe that the so-called “medivac” laws were anything but an obvious ruse designed to water down Australia’s rigorous border protection regime? Of course, here-today-mercifully-gone-tomorrow millionaire playing at being a politician, Kerryn Phelps, mouthed a few platitudes about “compassion”. But it was
Australian PM Scott Morrison has shown a commendable willingness to stand up to the bullies of globalism on the world stage. He has repudiated the hypocritical sniping of the Pacific Islands Forum, told the UN to its face to take a hike on climate alarmism, and sided with US president
One of my farming friends used to say, “Never criticise farming while you’ve got a full belly”. While a bit long on self-righteousness (the same farmer also freely acknowledges that many farmers are prone to whinging and demanding handouts), there is a rock-solid foundation of truth: without
Join Dieuwe de Boer and Tim Wilms at 9pm this evening for what is bound to be an explosive Guy Fawkes special. We’ll be talking the Melbourne Cup, Andrew Little’s proposed Ministry of Truth, this week’s Shane Jones outrage, and other positioning for the 2020 election. Australia
In the latest eructation of millenarian lunacy, the ridiculous street pantomimes of the bourgeois climate cult called “Extinction Rebellion”, they have largely got away with their massive public temper-tantrum because both public and authorities have been caught off-guard. But, just as members of the public are starting to
Another day, another Muslim whining about “oppression” and “racism”. Given Muslim majority countries’ marked intolerance of anyone else, it’s somewhat remarkable just how fragile a glass jaw many Muslims seem to develop when they’re in the minority. Even in Sydney, where commuters have been advised against wearing Christian
