They’re at it again: youths of no particular description are committing a wave of violent crimes across the country. Just don’t expect the media to tell you the whole truth. As is usual with such crimes, what the media don’t tell you speaks volumes. If they even
Well, at least the polls aren’t any worse. So must go the chatter from Labor strategists in Canberra, as Anthony Albanese blows another wad of political capital chasing far-left nostrums. At least, unlike the Voice referendum, breaking a solemn promise on Stage 3 tax cuts hasn’t been a
Now, if you or I were to run an extension cable across the footpath to run an electrical device on the nature strip, we could be absolutely sure the council would be on us, PDQ. If we were to stack jerry cans of petrol by the curb, to fill up

Before the last election, Anthony Albanese promised “safe, minimal change”. It was a lie even bigger than Jacinda Ardern’s “open and transparent” whopper. Just as Ardern ran a regime of unprecedented, paranoid secrecy, Albanese has busily imposed an agenda of radical, race- and class-warfare antagonism. Last year, Albanese diligently
Rule of thumb: if a police official’s mouth is moving, he or she is probably telling a lie. Many years ago, a friend of mine who’d emigrated from China told me how refreshing it was to be able to hear anything apart from state propaganda. He referred to
It’s a sad state of affairs when a clown gives more sound legal advice than one of the nation’s supposedly top legal minds, but that’s life in a Clown World, I guess. While the NSW Chief Justice, like so many in his profession, not to mention the
A government supported artist, Robert Heinlein wrote, is an incompetent whore. He might have added, an abusive one. Of course, there are some weirdos who pay a great deal of money to be abused by whores, but for most people, handing over money to beggars only to be returned a
The explosion of naked anti-Semitism on the mainstream left might seem sudden and shocking, but it shouldn’t be. More or less open Jew-hating has been simmering on the left for years. As the left has more and more cosied up to Islam, itself endemically anti-Semitic*, it’s only become
Vote in haste, repent at leisure. It’s impossible to say if any in the crowd at the Australian Open who jeered and booed Anthony Albanese actually voted for his government, but 32% of Australians did. The rest of us have to live with the consequences of their foolishness. A
When a PM gets loudly booed by a sporting crowd, it’s not a good sign. It’s not exactly new, either: the Open crowd most recently booed a tennis official for promoting Covid vaccines, while an MCG crowd loudly booed then-PM Tony Abbott. I also remember a huge crowd
Whenever an anti-white race furore erupts — which is almost daily — I have a simple formula for evaluating whatever its central claim is: flip the script. If, instead of “white”, the subject was any other race, would it be considered racist? Then it’s racist, end of story. If it wouldn’
As I wrote in the closing days of last year, the summer parliamentary break couldn’t come faster for Australian PM Anthony Albanese. Fresh from a potentially fatal referendum hiding, Albanese was left fiddling while Australia burned in a bonfire of antisemitism lit by the far-left Greens and Labor’s
Explaining, as The BFD’s Cam likes to say, is losing. The CEO of Australian supermarket titan Woolworths, known across the ditch as Countdown, has been doing an awful lot of explaining since the announcement that it would no longer stock Australia Day merchandise – and losing all the way. When
They don’t call him “Airbus Albo” for nothing. Anthony Albanese’s literal first act as prime minister was to rush off to get sworn in before boarding closed for his first overseas flight as PM. The first of many, many, many more. In his first few months in office,
