Unimportant Facts and all that Jazz
A National Geographic article “New Zealand has ‘effectively eliminated’ coronavirus” available online 1 May had some lefties in a bit of a tizzy on twitcom. Rest assured it was a puff-piece lauding our lady leader, but what upset the cry-babies was an excellent piece of research from the NatGeo journos,
Greens Are Loving the Lockdowns
When I wrote recently about the ABC’s “fact-checker” almost admitting that a conservative prime minister was correct, I put it down to a new kid on that day, who didn’t know the iron rule of ABC “fact checks”. It turns out that I may have been wrong (it
Are Australia’s Restrictions Constitutional? Who Knows?

A Piece of Work
I spent a considerable amount of time prior to writing this article searching for suitable words to describe the Prime Minister. A “piece of work” seemed the most applicable. The definition of a piece of work is a very unkind or unpleasant person, but like many bullies, not without charm.
Are We Following a Script?
Back in 2010 the Rockefeller Foundation produced a paper entitled Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development which postulated four scenarios for what the future might look like. In the introduction, answering the question of “Why scenarios?” the report includes this: Scenario planning is a methodology designed to
How Free is Our Press Really?
Justin Knight Freedom of the press is the right to circulate opinions in print without censorship by the government. An independent press is one of the essential pillars of democracy. It’s the people’s protection against secret government, against authoritarianism and against tyranny. Without the press, the concept of
