The viciousness of the campaign of vilification against Cardinal George Pell by Australia’s taxpayer-funded broadcaster was at times astonishing. The ABC aired uncritically the most lurid and outlandish accusations against the cardinal. Following Pell’s now-quashed conviction for child sex abuse, the ABC could barely hide its
When French schoolteacher Samuel Paty was horrifically murdered by Islamic extremists, many of the “progressive” left assumed the same gutless attitude they had already used to respond to the Charlie Hebdo terror murders: “He asked for it”. The same people who insist, hand on heart, that Islam is a “religion
ACT Party ACT Party Firearms Reform spokesperson Nicole McKee “A concerted effort involving law changes and far greater resources is needed to turn soaring levels of gun crime around,” says ACT Party Firearms Reform spokesperson Nicole McKee. “Some of the unintended consequences of the Government’s two pieces of rushed
The number of prisoner assaults on corrections officers has skyrocketed in recent years with more than 2000 incidents taking place on the Labour Government’s watch, National’s Corrections spokesperson Simeon Brown says. Figures released to National show the year to June 2020 was a stand-out with 889 assaults.
The dangerous, illiberal witch-hunt being peddled by the left-media in their unconscionable pursuit of Attorney-General Christian Porter has been correctly labelled a threat to democracy and the most basic principles of the rule of law. But there is an even more objectionable aspect of the Press Gallery’
I feel sorry for the police on the frontline, not only do they now have to phone in to see if they are allowed to arrest someone, they now have this list of items to make a judgement call on. Did you know that the Police are no longer required
If we were to believe the hysterical claims of Western feminists, the streets of Australia are as hazardous for women as the battlefields of the Congo. The “one in four women will be raped” trope is as blatant nonsense as BLM’s fact-free hysteria over police shootings. Like BLM’
Daniel Diefenbach mises.org Each year, billions of dollars are stolen from Americans through online scams. One popular scam is fake technical support: a pop-up appears on the computer claiming it has a virus and that one must call Microsoft tech support at some phony number to unlock the
No Jail Time for Serious Offences The Government’s restorative justice programme Te Pae Oranga is taking preventing imprisonment to a new level with more serious offences sent to the Iwi Community Panel, National’s Police spokesperson Simeon Brown says. “I don’t think many New Zealanders would consider the
Now that the left have won back the White House, one way or another, surely that means that the rampaging leftist mobs, oops, “mostly peaceful protesters”, will stop peacefully smashing and looting businesses and non-violently burning whole districts. Not to mention tranquilly shooting, beating and raping hundreds of people.
Amidst all the palaver and virtue-signalling in the media, and the strangely contradictory cavalcade of back-slapping and pearl-clutching whining of International Women’s Day, there is one group of Australian women who go almost completely ignored by the great and good of the Lady Pages and Mummy
When West Australian premier Mark McGowan brags about his state’s “world’s best” budget performance, the gargantuan elephant in the room is that it is almost completely funded by the Nazi Germany of the 21st century. I’m referring, of course, to Communist China. Comparing them to one of

The Ponderer Stuff ran an article yesterday about a woman who was disgusted her 11-year-old daughter was asked to deliver an “extreme religious publication” on her paper round. Because they disagreed with the publication, rather than delivering it (as her daughter is legally and contractually obliged to do,
When I wrote, some time ago, that “the left is promoting paedophilia (again)”, even I had the nagging sense that I was being more than a bit foil-hat conspiratorial. Surely no one could be far gone enough to actually try and normalise such a hideous crime as child abuse?
As Mark Steyn wrote, “the air-brush is mightier than the sword”. Steyn was referring to the Canadian press and its valiant efforts to erase any sort of clue that might have twigged their readers that there was something a little bit jihad-y going on in Paris. Two Muslim
