It is absolutely disgusting to me that politicians and the media are already lining up opportunistically taking advantage of the actions of Dezi Freeman And the slaying of Victoria Police Officers Detective Leading Senior Constable Neil Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim de Waart, weaponizing the actions of an unlicensed shooter with a homemade gun to […]
Tobacco taxes have created a massive violent black market complete with fire bombings, shootings, and now with added Iranian terrorism. In exactly the same way that the prohibition of alcohol in the United States in the early 1900s created Al Capone and the rise of gangsters, so too has the punitive taxation of tobacco in […]
Once again, the government is handing us a set of crutches to compensate us for the fact that the government broke our legs. With apologies to Harry Brown, who came up with the original quote about crutches and broken legs, actually, what’s happening is they’re giving us a chair to balance on to replace the […]
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Trump is engaged in tariff diplomacy, using US economic and geopolitical influence for the purpose of defending human rights. And Trump’s recent victory, as he supported Apple in their fight against the UK government, could be a model to be followed soon in Australia as Google […]
One of the things I love to do here at the Topher Project is draw attention to people that are doing something. It’s so easy for all of us to say somebody should do something. But it takes a special kind of person to say, “Well, I’m a somebody, so I’m going to go and […]
Well, here in Australia, I very rarely have good things to say about our politicians. And quite frankly, that’s with good reason because there aren’t very many decent ones. But that’s not to say there are no decent ones. And we have a wonderful MP in South Australia who is fighting the good fight. I’m […]
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 […]
