What a Government Grants You, They Can Easily Take Away

Never trust a government, especially when they come bearing gifts, like subsidies, grants or rebates. What a government grants you, they can easily take away. Pretty soon electric vehicle buyers are going to find that out  the hard way. Electric cars currently have a free pass from paying Road User

Who Could Ever Have Foreseen It?

Should anyone really be surprised that the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has turned into a stupendous, money-guzzling white elephant?

They Won’t Take ‘No’ for an Answer

What is it about the left that they just won’t take “sod off” for an answer? Like tantrum-throwing toddlers, every time they’re told “No”, the left scream and yell, throw their toys and slam their doors, and pester and badger until they get their way. Because, bad
