Does anyone still really believe Covid policies were ‘all about the science’? If so, please get in touch: I’ve got shares in the Sydney Harbour Bridge I need to sell, cheap. From the earliest months of the pandemic, it was increasingly obvious that Covid policy was being driven not
Taxes up, working and middle-class Australians being squeezed of every penny, the beneficiary class ballooning… Tell me this isn’t a modern Labor government. Just don’t try and tell me that Labor is “the party of the worker”. It hasn’t been true in decades. Labor is now unapologetically
Can you imagine, while the Battle of Britain was raging, the USA urging Britain to dump Winston Churchill and negotiate an immediate ceasefire with Hitler? Negotiations which include conceding territory to the Third Reich? Because, after all, innocent civilians were suffering from the bombing. Neville Chamberlain is rightly condemned by
Jeez, it’s getting so an anti-Semite can’t bellow, “Gas the Jews!” any more without being judged, or something. In fact, it’s so bad, that a politician desperate to pander shamelessly for Muslim votes has to stump for anti-Semites’ rights. Labor frontbencher Ed Husic has defended the ability
As I recently reported, the Albanese government is trying to convince Australians that a paltry 10 per cent reduction of record-high immigration levels is some kind of big deal. Australians aren’t falling for it. Would that New Zealanders could wring even that much concession from their elites. Immigration has
That’s it. With the resignation of Annastacia Palaszczuk, that’s the last of the Branch Covidian dictators gone from Australia. Every single state premier who presided over the dictatorial regimes of lockdowns, and forced vaccines and masks, is out of politics. Although, scandalously, each of them was allowed to
It’s Claytons all round, today. A Claytons apology, and a Claytons immigration cut. Does the term “Claytons” have the same meaning in New Zealand as it does in Australia? Like “Tui, yeah, right”, it comes from an advertising slogan (from the 70s, for a non-alcoholic drink packaged to look
According to her testimony, Brittany Higgins now employs a legal babysitter, “so I can’t do anything dumb”. Whoever the poor soul is, they’ve got their work cut out for them. On her last day of cross examination, Higgins publicly confirmed what had so far been confidential: that she
The Bruce Lehrmann defamation action against Channel 10 and Lisa Wilkinson will wrap up, soon, but there’s still plenty of legal entertainment to come. There’s Alex Greenwich v Mark Latham action, for instance. In that case, an openly homosexual MP is suing the famously pugilistic Latham for, essentially,
Michael Cook Michael Cook is editor of Mercator. mercatornet.com Such is the stigma surrounding suicide that advocates of ‘voluntary assisted dying’ insist vehemently that it is by no means suicide. For instance, Go Gentle Australia, a leading lobby group for VAD, explains in its website’s FAQ that: People
Well, that’s the parliamentary sitting year done, and for the Australian prime minister, it surely can’t have come quick enough. 2023 was a horror year for Anthony Albanese, once the glow of actually winning an election with the record-lowest primary vote in a century wore off. Mind you,
In just one particularly bad flu season, Tasmania alone experienced hundreds of deaths from influenza. It barely made the news. In the three years of Covid, Tasmania recorded a total of 256 “Covid deaths”. Given the notoriously generous standard for a “Covid death”, it’s likely that the seasonal flu
This 1930s revival is getting out of hand. We’ve got war erupting on three continents, weak Conservative leadership in Britain, a doddering president and a left-wing administration in the US and black-shirted thugs bashing and burning in cities across the West… And, boy howdy, do we have unbridled anti-Semitic
The fallout from the High Court and Labor’s mind-boggling decision to turn nearly one hundred and fifty dangerous foreign criminals loose in Australia just keeps coming. Now a fourth bad wog has been re-arrested — and all Anthony Albanese’s top law officer can do is shout spittle-flecked abuse at
Brittany Higgins has wrapped up her last day of cross-examination in Bruce Lehrmann’s defamation suit, and it didn’t fail to deliver. The biggest revelation of her testimony was to confirm what everyone in Australia already knew: the taxpayer has been stiffed $2.3 million, straight to Brittany’s
