Australia doesn’t have a waka-jumping law, but it often feels like we need one. Time and again, political nobodies scrape together a few hundred votes courtesy of being included at the bottom rung of a party ticket. Having exploited the party name, they proceed to use it as a
As I’ve written many times, the Brittany Higgins saga is the circus that just won’t quit. And now we’re getting the high divin’ act riding bareback on a pony. When the whole affair erupted into public view, it was hard not to suspect that there was a
Chris Lynch Chris Lynch is a journalist, videographer and content producer, broadcasting from his independent news and production company in Christchurch, New Zealand. The Northern Territory police commissioner has announced a curfew in Alice Springs for the next three nights due to a series of violent incidents in the town.
You have to laugh at the mainstream media sometimes. They’re so obviously desperate. Especially when they think everyone else is as dumb as the lefty peanut gallery they’re playing to. No matter how hard they try to spin a story, the spin is just too obvious. Case in
Yet again, it must be asked, just who do Fatima Payman and Mehreen Faruqi represent? The people of WA and NSW, or Gaza and Hamas? Payman, the “accidental senator” elected by a micro-vote on a Labor Party ticket, has thrown the Albanese government into turmoil by defecting over the sole
Life’s a funny old thing when you’re a former Dear Leader of the Covid Cult who’s retired from government and hoping to just slip quietly into the shadows. One minute, you’re getting fast-tracked for a gong by your Labor mates, the next, an old scandal that

As I wrote recently, Australian PM Anthony Albanese just can’t get a winner. Nothing he does is working for him. Tax cuts, wage rises, handouts and all the traditional pork-barreling stuff is falling into open pockets and on closed ears. Mostly because of his own ham-fisted political stupidity. Albo
After years of the left seeing ‘Nazi symbolism’ in even the most ludicrous places, a former Nazi symbol adopted by a modern terrorist group was flown from the roof of the Australian parliament. And the increasingly openly anti-Semitic left couldn’t have been more chuffed. A group of ‘pro-Palestinian’ supporters
Viv Forbes Saltbush Club How low Australia has fallen – our once-great BHP now has a “Vice President for Climate”, the number of Australian students choosing physics at high school is collapsing and our government opposes nuclear energy while pretending we can build and operate nuclear submarines. Our Green politicians want
A criminal with 35 convictions – all against female victims – is expected to be deported to New Zealand after having his visa cancelled by Australian immigration authorities under a new policy. […] [Glenn Taylor] was born in New Zealand but has lived in Australia since he was four years old. He has
It used to be said, of something pointless, that it was like “sending coal to Newcastle”. Thanks to green lawfare, Australia may soon be doing just that, only with gas. Australia is one of the largest exporters of liquified natural gas in the world, yet its suffering such an acute
The Australian Labor government is learning the hard way that you let the camel into your tent at your peril: the bastard keeps spitting on you and you end up with fleas. But Labor has been so determined to curry the Muslim vote, especially in its Western Sydney heartland, that
PM Anthony Albanese and his government’s weakness and duplicity since October 7 are wakening a spectre that hasn’t haunted Australian politics for half a century. A beast that once nearly broke the Labor party and is threatening to again. Sectarian politics. In the 1950s, divisions between Labor’s
When Anthony Albanese launched his disastrous “Voice” referendum, many naturally questioned why an “advisory body” needed to be enshrined in the Constitution. “So it can’t be abolished by a future government, like ATSIC was!” was the answer. Yet, the former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission was abolished for
A positive public reputation takes a long, diligent time to build, but can be destroyed in an instant. A bad reputation is all-but entrenched: kick a puppy once and nobody will ever forget it. Anthony Albanese might as well have booted Toto up the jacksie on the steps of parliament,
