In an entry of his sadly discontinued Black Steam Train blog, Dallas Scott recounted the experience of appearing on SBS-TV alongside a panel of pale-faced ‘box ticker’ fauxborigines. I watched young, white identifiers roundly proclaim their connection to, and knowledge of, their ‘culture’, then turn around not five minutes later
The Sunak government’s final victory this week in its plan to deport ‘asylum seekers’ was long delayed – a sign of how activist judges and boat-chasing lawyers clog the machinery of democracy seemingly to their hearts’ content. Australia has seen more than its share of these unelected elitists thwarting the
The left have always been racist: they consider anyone non-white to be inferior and requiring ‘educated’ white liberals and left wingers like themselves to run their lives for them. It has never crossed their minds that Maori, or Islanders, or black people might be intelligent, aspirational for themselves and their
Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made. JRR Tolkien Popular products still missing from supermarket shelves and school attendance and labour productivity below par: it’s the sick-note culture, as they’re calling it in the UK after the
Imagine if the “Voice” referendum had actually passed — well, what, exactly, would have been any different? Because, day by day, we’re seeing imposed by stealth exactly what Australians rejected so emphatically at the ballot box. Not least the very thing which so many cited as their primary reason for
Ranking the greatest philosopher is like ranking the greatest rock band. The same few names will be thrown around, but everyone will argue for their own favourite. For me, the title belongs to Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume. I even have a 19th century engraving of him framed on the
Christian Toto newsbusters.org John Cleese is the master of both silly walks and sublime comedy takes. The Monty Python veteran is as feisty as ever at 84, slashing those attempting to crush comedy that breaks any kind of so-called rule. Cleese opened up to FIRE’s Greg Lukianoff about
I rather suspect that the fad for “indigenous maths and science” among Humanities academics is driven by their own inability to comprehend maths and science. Anyone can be a maths genius, after all, if your mathematics doesn’t involve counting past ten — twenty, if you take your shoes off. And

Olivia Pierson oliviapierson.org A large part of the success of Western civilisation was that our European ancestors saw fit to mount an enormous civil war during the Reformation and Counter Reformation to defang Catholic theocracy during the pernicious times of the Inquisition. It climaxed with the regicide of the
As I’ve written before, so many conventional wisdoms are built on foundations of quicksand. From the firmly held belief in “Settler Colonialism” in the New World to the endlessly asserted claims of low immigrant crime, so much that we’re furiously finger-wagged is “fact”, is anything but. Interviewing Jello
Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com Over the last six months, it’s become fashionable for our advertising agencies to use Maoris in their television advertisements. With only a single exception, they are always portrayed as obese simpering simpletons. On the other hand, European models in these adverts are usually physically

Following questions from Stuff earlier this month, police confirmed they had launched a homicide investigation after Creedence’
