Can’t Buy Him Love

Save us from left-wing politicians desperate to save their electoral bacon against all odds. Faced with collapsing poll numbers, left-wing governments will do what left-wing governments always do — only more so. Spend, spend, spend: the more of other people’s money they can waste, the better. No mountain of debt

By All Means: Let’s Tell the Truth

If a flying saucer landed on the outskirts of a Nebraska farming town and the locals completely ignored it, and went about their humdrum business, they’d be sneered at as brain-dead rednecks. What if the aliens persisted in trying to get attention by walking into the town square? And

As George Orwell pointed out so long ago, the left are hypocrites at heart. They rail against ‘exploitation’, but their standard of living ‘demands that the robbery shall continue’. Nowhere is that more true than when it comes to the housing crisis. For all their pearl-clutching about renters and bastard

The Albanese government boasts about its record number of Muslim MPs. How’s that working out for them? Bear in mind, too, that some of its most senior ministers preside over seats with sizeable Muslim voting blocs. The government’s very hold on power largely depends on Western Sydney – dominated

‘Give Us Back What We Threw Away’

There’s a mania, lately, for “repatriating” museum pieces collected during the “colonial” era. To which should be applied a rule of thumb, first suggested by YouTuber Carl Benjamin: if we had to dig it up, you never wanted it, anyway. Apocryphally, a frustrated Howard Carter reminded stonewalling Egyptian officials

The Best-Laid Schemes O’ Mice An’ Men

History is littered with the unintended consequences of disastrous environmental policy. However well-meaning. As Michael Crichton outlines, in his novel State of Fear, “management” of Yosemite has lurched from one disaster to another. To protect elk, park managers shot wolves. Elk populations exploded, stripping trees needed by beavers for dam-building.

If you’re a licensed shooter, you’ve no doubt loaned a firearm to a suitably licensed shooter mate, on occasion. In fact, you can do so for up to thirty days without a problem. Except in Tasmania. Here, you may be engaged in “firearms trafficking”. A ruling by Tasmania’

On October 9, 2023, the Australian Greens showed their true colours to Australia and the world.

This was, remember, before Israel had lifted a finger to respond, so the

Another Load of Gas from the Cult

The road to the mythical climate utopia is littered with scams, boondoggles, and just plain lunatic ideas. Few are more lunatic than so-called “green hydrogen”. Yet, for all its obvious nutbaggery, this has become the latest idea to rule supreme in the empty, clanging heads of the Climate Cultists. And

How Dare Catholics Say What They Believe!

How long before it’s illegal to be a Catholic in Tasmania? Perhaps we will hide them under the floorboards next to the Jews, when the Waffen-SSM Flamingwerfers come hunting.

In a fiery exchange recorded in 2014, Brigitte Gabriel took issue with a student hijabi wittering the usual fatuous nostrums about the “peaceful majority of Muslims”. Gabriel responded that the peaceful majority are irrelevant. After all, the majority of Germans were not Nazis and, even among Nazis, only a hardcore
