My Google alerts did the job this week. A story in the Melbourne Anglican reminded me how far most churches have fallen in understanding their part in saving Aborigines....
The most predictable recommendation of the recent Inquiry into the response to the COVID pandemic—some would say panic-demic—is to establish an Australian Centre for Disease Control. Many of the institutional submissions to the Inquiry recommended it. They got their way: more money...
Following the announcement of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Greens Senator Maureen Faruqi tweeted: ‘Condolences to those who knew the Queen....
What I want most from a Trump presidency is smashing the climate change scam. Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement during his first presidency, but not as comprehensively as widely thought. In any event, Biden re-entered the agreement in 2021....
Why a feeding frenzy over Coles and Woolworths prices? The Prime Minister’s breathless recent announcement of ‘a crackdown on dodgy supermarket practices’ suggests something is terribly wrong....
Greens manipulating Blacks is how I remember Coronation Hill, my introduction to Aboriginal politics and the environmentalists who used them. I was a backbencher in the Hawke government. I was so angry at the cabinet’s decision to prevent the mine from reopening...
ADH TV host Katherine Deves has branded the growing movement of Muslim-based political groups “Teals in Hijabs”. ...
The Prime Minister has intervened on the issue of questions to be trialled for the 2026 Census. The Green/Left Labor faction (and the very liberal Liberal Senator Andrew Bragg) insisted that the Census include questions on ‘gender identity, variations of sex characteristics...
Social Democrats and Greens have long ruled Sweden. A consequence is that unfettered and unfiltered immigration has almost destroyed the country. When ASIO chief Mike Burgess is comfortable letting through supporters of Hamas, it is time to call time on unfettered and...

Australia has granted more visa applications for residents of Gaza in 10 months than the US has granted in twenty years – but it’s ‘racist’ to question why. ...
The poverty lobby is at it again. Even though the massive expansion of the welfare state has diminished the stressors of poverty, the Brotherhood of St Laurence complains there is no official poverty line 50 years after Australia’s Commission of Inquiry into...
Charlie Spiering wrote in Amateur Hour, ‘I was surprised to learn how few Democrats even like [Kamala] Harris, let alone respect her.’ That does not mean Harris cannot win the US presidential election in November. According to the FiveThirtyEight poll average on...
Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, the worst forms of child labour, forced labour, and deceptive recruiting for labour or services. The Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) introduced reporting requirements for larger companies operating in Australia to assess the risks of modern slavery...
Last weekend in a random conversation, a very good friend, in the company of other Alan Jones listeners and supporters, said that now that I have been off air for medical reasons, she always asked herself what would Alan say about this....
After the assassination attempt of former US President Donald Trump, I thought it would take a meteor hitting the earth to eclipse that from the news cycle. It turns out, however, all that was needed was for current President Joe Biden to...
To include or not to include, that is the question. Until the 1970s, the expectation was that migrants would fit in. Since then, the expectation has been that they need not. What started as avowedly assimilationist post-WWII shifted to integration in the...
Overblown to buggery is how one might describe the Paris Olympics, which commence on 26 July. There are 45 sports, including five new sports, such as break dancing and kayak cross. There were 241 athletes (all men) and 43 events in Athens...
It is an election year in the USA, and while American politics is notoriously theatrical, it’s not often that about a year’s worth of big election news happens within less than a fortnight. While the withdrawal of President Joe Biden from the...
The issue of mass Muslim migration to Europe and the UK has been brewing for decades. It has resulted not only in an increased danger for women in the form of the European rape crisis, but a steady cultural shift in certain...
Professor Megan Davis, who was on the losing side in the Voice referendum, was indulged by the University of Queensland to lecture on why she lost. She showed no contrition, blaming others for the loss. She did so in a letter to...
It is an election year in the United States of America, and former president Donald Trump has been back in action on the campaign trail post-presidential debate. He held a characteristically high-energy rally in Florida, where, in a wholesome turn of events,...
Senator Fatima Payman, a supporter of unconditional Palestinian statehood who returned on the weekend to a hero’s welcome from Middle Eastern central casting assembled at Perth airport, has jumped ship from Labor. A section of the Muslim community is running candidates at...
The World Bank is to spend 45 per cent of its budget on climate change, more than $40 billion annually. Bjorn Lomborg has described raiding development funding for climate spending as an ‘abysmal’ decision. These funds for climate change abatement and adaptation...
The Australian media industry is falling to pieces with mass sackings but meanwhile, the ABC gives itself a payrise. ...
Irksome is how to describe Doctors for the Environment Australia best. Hundreds of their members recently signed a full-page advertisement in the press, which announced that ‘coal, oil and gas are hazardous to our health and well being ... we must put...
There are two mega engineering projects for canals that would have significant implications for Israel and the Arabs of Gaza and the West Bank. Israel’s ...
If there’s something I can agree with the NSW Labor Government on, it’s that privatisation doesn’t make much sense when it comes to the energy sector....
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak plans to cut one in eight university degrees and divert funds to apprenticeships. This sounds good to me. It raises the question of whether Australia has oversubscribed to university education....
The ABC is a sick and perverted organisation run by weak and grossly out-of-touch managers....
‘Too bad!’ was the message from both the Albanese and NSW governments this week, as they released pathetic plans to assist coal workers during the net-zero transition....
Idiot who tried to embarrass Gina humiliates himself. ...
The strategy for Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is like spaghetti being thrown against the wall, seeing if any noodles stick. Rather than running a traditional campaign in which the candidate formulates a vision for the nation and then goes coast to coast...
There is a new imperialism afoot, and the West is paying for it. Think of the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, the World Health Organisation, and all the human rights bodies hanging off the United Nations behemoth....
If ever women are kicked out of politics, it won’t be because misogynistic males stage a revolution to chain all women to their kitchen sinks. It will because certain women in politics become so hysterical it becomes unbearable to have them around....
We are witnessing the unravelling of the great solar panel con. ...
Australia is a brave new world since the covid years. Although there were scores of politicians, bureaucrats, and CEOs here and across the world who expressed their concern and grief at the effects of the pandemic, sensible people realise that secretly, many...
Dear Australia and the world,...
Albanese Labor wants to cut immigration from ‘far too many’ down to ‘still too many’....
The chaos we see taking place on college campuses across America is sad, scary, and entirely unacceptable. It also is unnecessary and has been caused by Joe Biden, his weakness, and the unwillingness of his administration to make necessary decisions and firm...
The ritzy White House Correspondents’ Dinner last week confirmed everything we already knew about the mainstream, left-learning, right-loathing media. Their annual black tie dinner claims to promote excellence in journalism and education and is held annually to award scholarships to young reporters,...
Prime Minister Albanese has promised $1 billion of your money to manufacture solar panels in Australia that you could buy at a fraction of the price from China. This is at a time when subsidies for solar panels will decline because the...
In 2020 when Donald Trump was running for President, many believe that if he had said less, tweeted with more discipline, and not been so personal with his verbal attacks on others, he would have returned to the Oval Office for another...
Tragically, a 15-year-old Aboriginal boy was recently killed in a car crash in Canberra. The boy was ‘cognitively impaired’ and had escaped from out-of-home care. The teen’s family claims, ‘the system failed him’. How did this happen in Woke City?...
As initially seen with their haphazard campaign to implement an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in 2023, it has become clear that the incumbent ALP government’s legacy upon its departure from office will be characterised by no shortage of rhetoric but ultimately a...
It comes down to this - who do you trust more Anthony Albanese or Elon Musk?...
Will Aboriginal mathematics save Aboriginal people? Some think so. For example, Professor Rowena Ball from the ANU Mathematical Sciences Institute argues, ‘Students of … colonised peoples are starting to be more critical about accepting unquestioningly the cultural hegemony of mainstream European-based mathematics.’...
Is there anything the ABC management can get right?...
Radical Islam and a civilised, peaceful society don’t mix. ...
Does Anthony Albanese seriously want to reward Hamas for its horrific terrorism on Israel?...
There have been two defining moments thus far in the 2024 US Presidential election cycle which I’m sure the Democrats wish they could retract. But they can’t. They revealed themselves in the most transparent, and loathsome way. Voters won’t forget....
Never in the history of this country have we paid more in tax....
Governor General designate Sam Mostyn made her reputation, among other things, in human resources, now known as people and culture. The inimitable Janet Albrechtsen crowned her queen of quotas for the number of times she took a board role as the designated...
When I received an invitation to attend Nigel Farage’s 60th birthday party in London, I knew it would be a “don’t miss” event. The invitation had a cartoon drawing of Nigel, grinning widely, holding up a “pint”. The words were simply, “Please...

The Archbishop of Canterbury denounced at General Synod – the governing body of the Church of England – that the Church is institutionally racist. As a result, the state Church set aside £100m for reparations, and recent conversations suggest it may be...
For large swathes of Australia the countdown is on to lose almost all mobile phone coverage – and just about no-one in Canberra seems to care. ...
Paul Kelly recently asked in The Australian, “Who Do You Believe: Tony Abbott or Donald Trump?” I believe both – but I do not believe Paul Kelly. He is wrong in his analysis of Donald Trump being a threat to both America...
There are more Greens voters east of the Great Dividing Range than all voters west of it. Greens oppose irrigation and land clearing and promote the roll-out of renewables. People living east of the Great Divide bear some of the cost of...

How two people from opposite sides of the pandemic became friends, and realised that division is tyranny’s greatest weapon. By Melinda Richards. ...
Teenagers often go through a phase of self-discovery, which typically presents as rebellion. Usually it involves looking at their parents, declaring they have everything wrong, and vowing to blaze their own trail. That brave path eventually collides with reality when they begin...
Most Queenslanders are practical people and they have a great bull dust detector most every time they vote....
The odds of the highest political offices of the British Isles being occupied by people of non-traditional ethnicity are long. So how did this happen, and why are traditional Poms being left out? ...
A cannibal now rules in Port-au-Prince, a man named Jimmy Cherisier, or as he is known to locals, ‘Barbecue’. Barbecue is seemingly the last-standing political figure in Haiti, as gangs run Prime Minister Ariel Henry out of the country, stage a prison...

One of the last surviving Covid myths has been dealt a serious blow. ...
The ABC yet again tanks in the ratings in every market on radio and TV – and they just can’t work out why. ...

Anthony Albanese rolled out his strategy to win a second term this week. Sadly, it won’t include a credible response to inflation, rising mortgage rates, soaring power prices or anything else that’s being anxiously felt around kitchen tables across the country....
Boris Johnson’s political death should have happened a decade ago when, as London Mayor, he agreed to take part in a stunt from which any other politician would have fled....
Stories about “men” giving birth are becoming passé, despite their inherent untruth. We are either no longer shocked or we are simply fatigued....

Our schools teach children that their country has been a hotbed of racism, misogyny, homophobia and environmental destruction ever since it was founded by colonial tyrants 244 years ago....
Why anybody is surprised that Senator Lidia Thorpe’s admission that she became a senator to “infiltrate the colonial project” is, in itself, surprising. The same goes for the reaction to Adam Bandt’s refusal to stand in front of the Australian flag at...
In the inevitable and badly needed federal election post-mortem, the most repeated cliché seems to be that all the players lost – except for the Teals and the Greens. Let’s put all the parties and candidates to one side and have a...
Despite talk about integrity, Anthony Albanese should remember he would not be Prime Minister but for the fact that, alone among comparable countries, Australia has not only one of the most perverse and complicated electoral systems, but also one more open to...
While the Liberal Party agonises over the loss of seven Federal seats to Teal independents, a bigger question is being overlooked....
What a strange outcome the election was. I thought Scott Morrison might hang on, mainly because the Australian people wouldn’t elect the error-prone, bumbling Anthony Albanese. But Albo’s errors made little difference. ...
Mick Mulvaney, adviser to former President Donald Trump, says he thinks the Covid lockdowns in America will go down in history as “one of the worst mistakes of the 21st century”. Lockdowns, masks, early treatment and the safety and efficacy of vaccines...
The fact that one of the key election issues of 2022 was whether biological males who identify as female should be allowed to compete against biological females in sport is a warning that something is severely amiss in Australian society. What is...
There is a values vacuum at the heart of the Morrison Government. But first, let’s start in the US. The Biden Administration has created a Disinformation Governance Board. Its stated goal is, I kid you not, ‘to combat misinformation ahead of the...
We probably wouldn’t be talking about transgender rights in this election if the campaign managers had their way. The fault-line in this polarised debate does not run along neat party lines and discussion is not easily controlled. Nevertheless, the question “what...
Ever since Peter Costello excoriated Ros Kelly, the then Minister for Sport in the Keating Government in 1993-94 for so called ‘Sports Rorts’, the scrutiny of public funding of government projects in Australia has never been the same. ...

Whole forests have most probably been cut down to write about the bizarre performance of Anthony Albanese on the opening day of the election campaign....
The Australian sporting story of the week has to be the extraordinarily dominant victory by the Australian Women’s Cricket team in the final of the World Cup....
There is no doubt that the Liberal Party in NSW is in disarray....
Australians are familiar with people marching in the streets over climate change, black lives matter and teachers’ salaries; but I wonder when parents are going to start marching in the streets over what is essentially a failed education system; and government is...
In a normal year, it would be called Budget Week; but, in reality, it is Election Week and everything in what Josh Frydenberg said on Tuesday night and what Anthony Albanese will say tonight is focused not on you or me or...
