It’s daylight robbery all over again. In the late 1600s, King William III in England imposed a window tax with tax collectors literally walking around homes, counting the number of windows and sending the homeowners the tax bill. The logical response was, of course, that many people simply boarded up their windows, throwing their homes […]
No good deed ever goes unpunished. I’ve spoken at length here on the Topher project about how government welfare has displaced private charity. And the reason why we think we need government welfare is precisely because the government destroys any competition, any private charitable acts that might prove that actually we could get along just […]
It’s time to fight fire with fire. The Commonwealth Workplace Gender Equity Agency is, in my opinion, engaging in blatant gender discrimination. And it’s time that we Australians had some fun and beat them at their own game. According to the latest data, women only earn 78 cents for every dollar that men earn in […]
There is a push happening nationwide towards restoring castle law, the right to self-defense and the presumption of innocence in self-defense when you are defending yourself within the confines of your own home. It’s happening around Australia, particularly around the eastern seaboard. There’s a petition going in Queensland right now. There’s another one going in […]
It’s the old bait and switch. It’s illegal when shopkeepers do it, but it’s perfectly legal if it’s the government doing the baiting and switching. The government cannot be trusted. Whatever it is urging you to do in one year, it’ll be punishing you for doing it in the next. And whatever solutions it’s offering […]
There’s a new push to tax homeowners even more with a new taxpayer funded report coming out which is frankly an embarrassment to the authors, but we’ll get to that. It’s claiming that we need to tax capital gains on owner-occupied homes and claims that Australia is a homeownership welfare state. Now, a report like […]
Feminists blame the patriarchy for everything. Communists blame the capital class for everything. And it seems that a large number of Aussies have decided to blame immigration for everything. And just like the feminists are blaming the patriarchy for their own problems, and the communists are blaming the capitalists for their own laziness, so Australians […]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a man on a mission. And over the course of this month, he hasn’t just ended the US government funding for mRNA research. That would be big news in and of itself, but that’s only one small part of a much bigger shakeup of the entire vaccine industrial complex. Not […]
Well, good news everybody. Fresh off delivering on his promise to reduce our power bills by $275. You all, you’ve all gotten that discount, right? I mean, I haven’t yet, but I’m sure you have. Everybody else has gotten it, right? Anthony Albanese, our prime minister, is promising to look at productivity and he’s bringing […]
Once again, we’re being told that the Great Barrier Reef is dying. And once again, the data doesn’t seem to match up with the dooming. In fact, there’s a lot of reason to be tremendously optimistic about the Great Barrier Reef. But a healthy reef doesn’t attract any government grant money. Remember the $443 million […]
