Karl Stefanovic has been dumped by Channel 9 for platforming far-right figure Tommy Robinson on his podcast. The timing feels convenient. The longtime morning TV host now conjures darker forces on his independent right-wing show — and appears ready to harness the ‘cancellation’ backlash to fuel his next chapter. In the aftermath of the announcement,…

Pauline Hanson is a Sunny Boy.​​ A bright orange triangle of highly flavoured ice that delights immature palates. She is a nostalgic block that tempts people to long for their simple memories of warm (and White) Australian summers past. Those old enough to remember the iconic Sunny Boy, however, will know that once we’d sucked…

It is difficult to credibly argue that genocide was not committed on Australian shores without sounding like a deranged, budgie-smuggling, onion-eating, supremacist weirdo.  While the bulk of Australian history written across the last 250 years speaks of “discovery”, “settlement” and more recently “frontier wars”, the lived reality on this continent paints an unmistakable, unbroken picture…

Won’t somebody spare a thought for the new patron saint of the National Press Club, Pauline Hanson? She’s there to sort Australia’s trashy media out and set them on the right track because Pauline is sick and tired of the press, thank you very much, sick and tired, and tired and sick, and oh my…

Pauline Hanson addressed the National Press Club this week amid significant shifts in Australia’s political landscape. Recent polls have shown her leading or competitive as preferred Prime Minister, with One Nation surging in primary vote intentions. The veteran parliamentarian highlighted long-standing structural challenges — including housing affordability, cost-of-living pressures, and immigration levels — that major…

For a century humanity has been experiencing a counterrevolution. A counterrevolution staged by the very richest amongst us, waged against the idea that we all deserve to live in modest comfort, to work safely, and to be recognised as possessing human dignity universally, whatever our gender, skin colour, faith, class, or sexuality.  These power elites…

Let’s all cast our minds back three years to July, 2023, when the much-anticipated National Anti-Corruption Commission officially started life… Or, as it’s turned out, officially started spending hundreds of millions of dollars of your money because the NACC needs to justify its existence while it uncovers a handful of low-level public servants doing pissy…

At a ‘Defund the ABC’ protest, Charlie Pickering was speaking his mind to convicted domestic violence perpetrator and Zionist Rebel News part-owner Avi Yemini. The long-time ABC personality answered a question from Yemini by complaining that the ABC had given former Australian of the Year Grace Tame a four-part podcast, calling it “problematic”. Charlie Pickering…

Australia’s complicity in Israel’s atrocities has many ugly layers. It’s worse than the bomb release mechanism on the F-35 death plane. It’s worse than the intelligence gathered at Pine Gap on behalf of a violent supremacist empire. It’s worse than the fascistic assaults on Pro-Palestine speech and protest. It’s not just the relentless propaganda disguised…

For more than two and a half years, Gaza’s children have been murdered in their thousands while Australia’s lickspittle political and media class obsess over the emotional comfort of a tiny, powerful minority.  In the same week that Premier Chris Minns was parading around in a yarmulke at a non-religious event, Australian activists from the…
