Premier Allan spins anti-genocide protest as ‘War on Christmas’
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…

America, what have you done?
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…

No one can say they didn’t know: Israel is ethnically cleansing Gaza
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…

Why has Australia assisted in a US bombing mission to the Middle East?
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…

This is what truth-telling looks like
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…

You are being remorselessly gaslit about Israel’s colonisation of Palestine
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,…

ABC’s assembly of ableist tropes
The ABC has finally managed to make a viral hit (that isn’t aimed at 3 year olds) in their new show The Assembly, which follows autistic journalists in training. Full of good questions, talented people and basically every modern ableist trope. Before I explain why the show is problematic and what needs to change; I…

The trouble with Albanese – what was it all for, Anthony?
We all know the story – you know it, Speersy knows it, everyone warm and vertical in Australia knows it. Anthony Norman Albanese was born into a single parent family and raised in public housing by a mother battling on a disability pension. Some of us could probably recite the story line-for-line by now. As…

Come to your census: data, Dutton and ducking for cover
It was a quirk of fate that the latest research from our electoral Stadler and Waldorf that showed a full 24% of Australians surveyed couldn’t name a single thing the Government had done that positively impacted their lives landed in the same week a Romanesque list of its achievements was circulated online by the cohort…
