There’s always been a healthy level of stupid in Australian politics, but let’s face facts: the collective intelligence of the current parliament makes a group shout at Barnaby’s favourite pub look like a Mensa meeting.  To be fair, the stupid didn’t start in May 2022 with the election of Ralph Babet, although certainly Pauline Hanson…

At the risk of pissing everyone off, both the ALP and the Coalition cannot be trusted to govern humanely, intelligently, honestly and competently in their own right. Those days are long past. Parliamentary politics as it stands cannot save us from ourselves. We are drowning in relevant examples. In the last sitting week before parliament…

After 13 months of live-streamed, sadistic slaughter inside the open-air concentration camp that once was Gaza, the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.  The ICC cited “crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20…

Myer has announced it is cancelling the unveiling of the annual Christmas window display this Sunday due to a planned anti-genocide protest, the same planned anti-genocide protest that has been occurring every Sunday since the political and media class left its morality behind 13 months ago.  “Blocking the Christmas windows won’t change a thing in…

You can’t even blame the Electoral College this time, that anti-democratic peculiarity that values a Wyoming vote 3.7 times more than a Californian vote, because this time Trump has stormed the popular vote too. This time America made a conscious choice. They chose Trump. They chose a man with multiple criminal convictions. Judicially determined to…

Because hearts are heavy and minds are mesmerised by scenes of unending slaughter captioned with discordant tales of self-defence, of righteousness, today, I am beginning at the conclusion and working my way backwards.  Before we get to the latest happenings from the depths of human depravity, I want to stress a particular point over and…

Since an agreement in 2023 that would see B52s stationed at Tindal airbase at Katherine in the Northern Territory, a rapidly expanding military program has been rolled out, largely behind the public eye. While the government has pursued a paltry and lethargic domestic policy agendas across an entire term, the rapid reconfiguration of Australia’s strategic…

To the ballroom of the Sydney Hyatt, (were you expecting West Wyalong?) where the Liberal Party’s 64th federal council conferencefestmeet is in full swing in June. I’m at home on a Sunday afternoon watching it back on Facebook and reading along with the comments from Brian and Raelene and Irene and Ron, who enjoys writing…

Listening to the conga-line of the obsequious pontificating on how “disrespectful” Lidia Thorpe was to our foreign King this week is as hilarious as it is nauseating. People of all political persuasions found any number of reasons to condemn Senator Thorpe, arguing because she had successfully used her platform as an MP to gain global…

Cowed courtiers on couches, or the ABC’s Insiders program, spearheaded by spear-headed David “Speersy” Speers, ran rampant genocide apologia from top to bottom last Sunday morning. Far from being outrageous, this was in fact extremely normal – pompous and dull, even – just as it would have been anywhere within the American sphere of influence,…
