Can’t Be Right All the Time

Can’t Be Right All the Time

Two recent posts I’ve made for The BFD just go to show that you should never underestimate how far the Establishment will go to protect the venal and the predatory. First, I wrote about the upcoming Justice Department report into Joe Biden keeping classified documents after his term as

SA Likely to Endorse Trans Inquiry

I have to say, I did not expect South Australia to be the first state to likely implement a parliamentary inquiry into the “transgender” madness. SA was, until Victoria stole its crown just like it stole the Grand Prix, the proud bearer of the “Australia’s Wokest State” mantle. But,

The Treaty vs Te Tiriti

Far too much has been written and said about the Treaty of Waitangi. I say this because the great Maori leader, Sir Apirana Ngata published the definitive work on it in 1922. There really is no need for anything else. A copy of his book, The Treaty of Waitangi – an

Opp Leader May Not Be Popular — But He Doesn’t Have to Be

Opp Leader May Not Be Popular — But He Doesn’t Have to Be

Kevin Rudd was immensely “popular”, even more than Jacinda Ardern — and both are now despised. Tony Abbott was never popular — and came within a

What Has 20,000 Feet but No Brain?

As you all no doubt know from bitter experience, much of the left are not exactly the deepest thinkers, nor the most independent minds. For all that they sneer at the United States, antipodean leftists are only all-too-eager to ape the latest inanities of the American left. Take,

The peasants are revolting! From Hungary to Argentina, the Netherlands to Italy, the hoi polloi are arking up against their self-appointed meritocratic overlords. Urban workers and rural farmers alike are realising that they’re being shafted by the elites, and making common cause. And the elite don’t like
