Skools Stuk Wiv a Lerning Problem

When I returned to university to study journalism, it was quite an eye-opening process. I’m not just talking about the blatant left-wing bias of so many of the lecturers, who would spend entire lectures spouting conspiracies about Evil Rupert Murdoch and promoting “journalism through a Marxist lens”. No, what

How Does This Just Keep Happening?

For people who furiously deny they’re in the child grooming business, the “rainbow” creepers slithering into our schools sure act exactly like groomers. Groomers, after all, seek to break down children’s moral resistance by exposing them to sexualised material, in order to convince them it’s “normal”. They

As we all know, telling the unadorned truth is not in the ABC’s DNA. Naturally, then, they can’t bring themselves to come straight out and say, “Young women are still taking useless degrees.” Instead, Australia’s [taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda network] national broadcaster has to dress it all up
