Half a million Victorians enjoyed a candlelit dinner on Valentine’s Day — whether they wanted it or not. And they’d better get used to it. At least 530,000 homes in Victoria were blacked out yesterday, and hundreds of thousands are likely to remain without power for “days, if
Nicholas Khoo Associate Professor of International Politics, University of Otago University of Otago The National-led coalition government is off to a fast start internationally. In envisioning a more central role for the ANZAC alliance with Australia, and possible involvement in the AUKUS security pact, it is recalibrating New Zealand’s
The ABC costs Australians north of a billion dollars a year. Long-suffering taxpayers are entitled to wonder how much less they’d be paying, if the Ultimo Collective didn’t keep defaming people. On the other hand, centre-right figures seem to be finally learning from one of the left’s
I recently spotted a meme depicting a boatload of “migrants” saying, “We demand to live in safety” — with the rebuttal, “So do — now, f- off!” In memo veritas, indeed. As many parts of Europe are discovering the hard way, “refugees welcome” fast turns into “lock up your women and children”
As I wrote yesterday, the green-left in Australia is going full Brownshirt. Determined to put the socialism back into National Socialism, they’re not even hiding their virulent anti-Semitism any more. Not that they’ve been leaving much room for doubt, anyway. Certainly not since Greens politicians proudly marched alongside
Labor just loves bad wogs. Whether it’s raping old ladies in Australia, or murdering Jews in Israel, it seems there’s no level of foreign criminality the Albanese government isn’t prepared to pander to. As reported on The BFD late last year, the Albanese government responded to a
The Australian left have gone Full Brownshirt. We’re at the “compile lists of Jews” stage of Kristallnacht 2.0. Funny how the people who’ve spent their whole lives shrieking “Nazi!” turn out to have been screeching at the mirror the whole time. Leading Pogrom2024 is none other than
Two recent posts I’ve made for The BFD just go to show that you should never underestimate how far the Establishment will go to protect the venal and the predatory. First, I wrote about the upcoming Justice Department report into Joe Biden keeping classified documents after his term as
I have to say, I did not expect South Australia to be the first state to likely implement a parliamentary inquiry into the “transgender” madness. SA was, until Victoria stole its crown just like it stole the Grand Prix, the proud bearer of the “Australia’s Wokest State” mantle. But,
When entrail-reading media sages (like me) pontificate over polling, it’s easy to get misled by “personal approval” polling for leaders. But is “popularity” everything? Kevin Rudd was immensely “popular”, even more than Jacinda Ardern — and both are now despised. Tony Abbott was never popular — and came within a hair’
As Australia once again confronts a reality which never really went away — the gross overrepresentation of gangs of young Africans in crimes of shocking violence — the excuses are also once again flowing thick and fast. The stabbing murder of a grandmother, in front of her granddaughter, for the sake of
As you all no doubt know from bitter experience, much of the left are not exactly the deepest thinkers, nor the most independent minds. For all that they sneer at the United States, antipodean leftists are only all-too-eager to ape the latest inanities of the American left. Take, for instance,
If there’s one group that Australians distrust more than politicians, it’s the media. Increasingly, we can throw police onto the “Do Not Trust” pile. Like politicians and the media, security and police departments are now routinely lying to Australians’ faces. For instance, in 2017, ASIO boss Duncan Lewis
If there’s one thing we know about the left, it’s that they never, ever take “eff off” for an answer. Like the spoilt political toddlers they are, they react to even the firmest “No” by screaming and crying, stamping their little feet, and shaking their little fists. If
The new parliamentary year has kicked off in Australia, and, as expected, the prime minister’s broken promise on tax cuts has dominated discussion. As also expected, the opposition is picking its battles carefully. Peter Dutton has confirmed he will not “stand in the way” of stage three tax cuts,
