Now They’re Cancelling Martin Luther King Jr

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labelled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today Thomas Sowell. To prove the truth of Sowell’s observation,

We’ve Been Erased by Victorian Politicians

Leah Gray mercatornet.com I am an ex-lesbian, as well as someone who experienced gender dysphoria as a child. Now I am married to a patient and gracious man and have a young son. Ten years ago I voluntarily sought counsel from Christian psychologists, ministries, support networks and people

The Hate Speech of the Left

The Hate Speech of the Left

For a mob who spend so much time piously patting themselves on the back for their own assumed moral superiority, and blithering about “kindness” and “tolerance”, nobody does unhinged, gibbering hate quite like the left. No one can have an opinion contrary to the left without being screamed at – and

Myanmar in Trouble – The Military Try to Consolidate

Myanmar in Trouble – The Military Try to Consolidate

5th February 2021 Things are certainly on the move in Myanmar. Health professionals, doctors, nurses and ancillary workers have withdrawn their support from the military government. They will still treat the populace, delivering the rudimentary health care available to an ordinary Burmese as best they can, but adopting a policy

Danger Looms for Ardern

Danger Looms for Ardern

4 February 2021 The South China Morning Post carried an opinion piece on China’s relations with the world. The SCMP is owned by Alibaba, Jack Ma’s company, and should be read with that perspective in mind. Last week, the small nation of New Zealand managed to cut a

Critical Race Theory Will Destroy Our History and Our Future

Critical Race Theory Will Destroy Our History and Our Future

Curious about the content in the draft curriculum of “Aotearoa New Zealand Histories” to be taught in NZ schools next year, the first obvious mistake I noticed was the title. The content is entirely Maori history (with a nod toward Polynesia because Maori travelled from there)  so why not just

Labour Are Selling NZ’s Soul

Labour Are Selling NZ’s Soul

From Goethe’s classic Faust to Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore’s comedic version, Bedazzled, the message has always been clear: fools deal with the Devil at their peril. No matter how glittering the prize the Prince of Liars dangles before the naive and greedy, the Devil always wins – and

Scotty from Marketing Strikes Again

Scotty from Marketing Strikes Again

“Scotty from Marketing” is yet another inane hashtag sneer from the Twitter left. If only it wasn’t so damned on-point. On the one hand, Scott Morrison genuinely deserves to be lauded for holding a strong line against China’s trade and diplomatic bullying. On the other, domestic, front,

Desperately Seeking “Far-Right Extremists”

They seek them here, they seek them there: those lefties, they search everywhere. Are they on Twitter? Or are they on Telegram? Those damned elusive “Far-Right” bogey-men. We keep getting told that “far-right extremists” are a bigger threat than Islamic terrorism. Just ignore the facts. Despite over

‘Change the Date’ Changes Nothing Important

‘Change the Date’ Changes Nothing Important

It’s as predictable as a pigeon pooing on a freshly-washed car. It’s the highlight of every leftist miseryguts’s year: whinging and carping about Australia Day. As in so much else surrounding “indigenous issues”, there’s a glaring disconnect between the virtue-signalling parades of city-based,

Myanmar in Trouble – A Little Background

Myanmar in Trouble – A Little Background

My previous pieces raised a few questions, so I will attempt to answer a few of them here. Where Does Myanmar Source Its Military Hardware? Many of these date back to the early 1990s but are well maintained. The fighter aircraft are mostly ground attack and support versions used internally.

Another Outbreak of the Madness of Virus Dictators

Another Outbreak of the Madness of Virus Dictators

Have our politicians and bureaucrats gone collectively insane? Or are they just so hopelessly addicted to the absolute power they’ve seized, courtesy of the Chinese virus, that they will do absolutely anything to get another fix? How else can you explain the madness that is sending public policy screaming
