When Australia’s legacy media huffed and puffed about “press freedom” this week, many readers were quick to point out their hypocrisy. Not least is the fact that, when the Gillard government tried to impose an unprecedented press regulation system, much of Australia’s media were not just shamefully silent,
You can tell a lot about someone from who their friends and admirers are. Especially brutal dictators. In that respect, it’s rather telling who the friends of the Chinese communist regime are in Australia. Academics who had a meltdown at the prospect of a Ramsay Centre for Western Civilisation
It’s not been a good couple of weeks for vegan activist Chris Delforce. First, it was revealed that his mother – who is apparently very supportive of her little boy’s anti-farm bullying – is a senior agriculture bureaucrat in the Australian government. Next, it transpired that his “Aussie Farms”
In one of the most incomprehensible decisions in modern Australian history, the Port of Darwin was leased to a Chinese company in 2015 by the Northern Territory government. Despite the NT government claiming that the Defence Department had not raised any red flags, everyone else, from maritime unions to the
In Kerryn Phelps’ brief and unlamented career as a parliamentarian, her sole achievement was to be a watermelon wrecker. Phelps glommed onto the rich peoples’ protest vote at the removal of their wealthy paragon, Malcolm Turnbull. A millionaire representing Australia’s wealthiest electorate, Phelps naturally obsessed over the sort of
Doomsday cults have always been marked by their passion for desperately bizarre public attention-seeking. The mediaeval flagellants paraded themselves in a kind of grotesque theatre of piety, dressing in ritualistic robes and whipping their flesh into a bloody pulp in order to publicly affirm their superior virtue. The Moonies
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison famously coined the tourism slogan, “Where the bloody hell are you?” Coalition voters, especially small businesses, ought to be asking, “Scott Morrison, what the bloody hell are you thinking?” Morrison’s Liberal party have long been regarded as the party of small business and entrepreneurship.
A popular rebuttal to the Klimate Kiddies is that they should walk the walk, give up their power-gobbling devices and stop riding mummy and daddy’s gas-guzzling 4WD to school. Another way these shrieking ninnies could put their money where their mouths are is to give up air-
There are countless YouTube videos showing so-called “liberals” condemning “racist” statements – until they find out that they’re quotes from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Similarly, these know-nothing leftist airheads will agree with perfectly reasonable statements…until they find out that they’re from the Bad Orange Man.
In a clear case of protesting just a tad too much, Australia’s ABC has spent nearly 3000 words shrilly “fact-checking” the claim that the taxpayer-funded broadcaster is biased toward the green-left. When Professor Sinclair Davidson claimed that ABC employees are five times more likely to vote
It seems that anti-farmer activism doesn’t begin at home for animal activist Chris Delforce. Delforce is the activist behind the insidious “Aussie Farms” map, which lists the location and contact details of every farm in Australia. The map, along with Delforce’s nutty “documentary”, Dominion, have been the
As Aboriginal activist Jacinta Nampinjinpa Price has commented, “cultural practices” is used to paper over all manner of abuses within the Aboriginal community. “Aboriginal male perpetrators have got away with their crimes based on the argument that they were operating within their culture’s confines.” Aboriginal academic Marcia Langton agrees
Scott Morrison’s election victory was a quiet mass protest by “the Quiet Australians” against the tiny, noisy clique of left-elites. Bob Brown’s pathetic clown-parade of screeching rainbow macaws was vocally rejected by town after town. The tiny clique of upper-middle-class almond-fussers playing dress-
It’s all-too-easy to get hacked off by cyclists. Whether its the hideous sight of flabby, middle-aged arses wobbling along in lycra, or a tangle of bicycles clogging up the footpath while their owners preen and pose at cafe tables, everything cyclists do seems calculated to raise

When the wizened wizard of woke-ness, Bob Brown, led his ill-fated clown parade of anti-coal activists last May, it was the standard motley collective of greybeards in sandals (and that was just the women) and dreadlocked ferals. The nosey-nannas at least have the poor excuse that
