New PM’s First Each-Way Bet

New PM’s First Each-Way Bet

Well, we don’t call him “Each-Way Albo” for nothing. Newly-sworn in PM Anthony Albanese’s very first day on the job brought a splendid display of the Labor leader’s penchant for speaking out of both sides of his mouth. There should be no surprises that the issue was

Albo: Ardern in a Cheap Suit

If Australians really do vote Anthony Albanese’s Labor party into government, what can we expect? Well, we can get a fair idea, just by looking across the Tasman. Of course, the Australian media-left has been doing just that for the past five years, but they’ve been doing so

Can China Buy Friends Forever?

Can China Buy Friends Forever?

God damn Mark Steyn: he always steals the best lines. Especially about China. It was Steyn who, pointing out China’s inescapable demographic trajectory, wrote that unless it’s “planning on becoming the first gay superpower since Sparta”, what’s it going to do with all its un-paired young men?

China Feels the Wrath of Islam

China Feels the Wrath of Islam

Fools, as they say, rush in. As I wrote some months back, China is eagerly hopping into the still-warm grave of the US intervention in Afghanistan. The last US helicopter had barely lifted off when China’s foreign minister was hosting the Taliban and preparing to sign a series of

NZ Should Care About a Fair Trial

Dark Jester The current extradition case at the time of this writing, involving a Chinese national accused of murder, should scare us. Not that we should be scared of seeing murderers being extradited, but the fact that New Zealand now appears to think it is appropriate to extradite people who

Pacific Loyalty Sells to the Highest Bidder

Pacific Loyalty Sells to the Highest Bidder

As Australia found this week, money can buy many things, but it can’t buy loyalty. At least, not from the grasping, tin-pot panjandrums of micro-nations, whose only political compass is, “gimme, gimme, gimme”. Australia has increasingly focused its $4 billion per annum foreign aid budget in the South Pacific.
