The $96 million Bureau of Meteorology website is a bigger fail than you think, and none of it is accidental. The scandal that’s hit the media is the cost blowout of the website itself, which is certainly a failure of governance, and I would argue it’s just the Australian form of corruption. But it’s what’s […]
Pepper spray for self-defense is an idea whose time has come. How do I know? Because of this, I covered it at the time. A 36-year-old man jumping the counter at the Gotham City brothel in Melbourne, breaking one of the workers ribs in a physical altercation before being subdued instantly when he coughed a […]
A 100 years ago, the US tried to ban alcohol, and the result was a crime wave like never before seen in the USA. Al Capone shot to fame and fortune, but he was just one of many. And the illegal alcohol trade became big business with violent turf wars and a government response that […]
Do you remember during COVID how PCR tests were considered the gold standard of tests? They were authoritative and if you tested positive on a PCR test, then you were quarantined because you’re a danger to society and everyone who so much as walked past you in a shop had to be traced and tracked […]
Zohran Mamdani has now overtaken Gavin Newsom and Kim Jong-un as the world’s most high-profile socialist. And that’s not a good thing if you’re a socialist. Because even by the standards of a socialist, he has absolutely no idea what he’s doing. Watch what he says in response to a simple question about how he’s […]
The global reaction to Covid 19 was one of the world’s great [….] eras as countries all over the world implemented never-before- tried population scale non-medical interventions including lockdowns, social distancing, masks, and more, followed by, of course, the world’s largest clinical trial as experimental mRNA jabs were rolled out in their billions. Now, at […]
If things feel hard right now, it’s because they are. Real wages, that’s wages after they’ve been adjusted for inflation, are officially back to the levels they were in 2011, 14 years ago. And that’s only 10% higher than they were back in 1992. But if you believe the Labour Party spin, they’re doing a […]
They’re taxing parking spaces. I’m going to say that again. The government are taxing our parking spaces. I mean, I know they’re broke and desperate and they’ll do absolutely anything to screw us, but what the actual frog in a pot? They’re taxing the parking spaces. And they’re not just taxing them. No, no. Soon […]
Words can be harmful. So what? The petty tyrants of the world like to shut down free speech and control what we’re allowed to say online and offline as a matter of priority. And one of the arguments they use to justify their censorship is that they insist that words are violence, which has always […]
The rapid rise of One Nation in the polls has now claimed its first political scalp. And it’s not someone that you would have expected. The Victorian Liberal Party have just stabbed Brad Battin in the back in what can only be described as an act of self-sabotage. But it was the uptick in One […]
