Scotty's Jab
The Covid vaccines have been hailed as the world's route out of lockdown and associated measures. Not so fast, as we now are coming to realise. The inept Morrison Government should be held to far higher standards of accountability for our Covid mess and for all of the vaccine lies the Government has told or allowed.
The Gays Are Not For Turning
The Victorian Parliament recently passed horrific legislation designed to solve a problem that does not exist and, in doing so, trod all over the rights of families, medical practitioners, those experiencing unwanted same sex attraction and the Church.
Lawyer X
The journalists Anthony Dowsley and Patrick Carlyon are outstanding practitioners of their craft. They have written a must-read, cracking story of Australia's worst ever legal fiasco. Naturally, it involves Victoria Police.
The Year That Was
2020 was the very worst of times. A year not to savour but to regret. What was thought inconceivable a mere twelve months ago is now real. It can never be inconceivable again. Barring a miracle or concerted political action by those who resent our loss of freedom, a dystopian future surely awaits us all.
Deadwood Justice
It was late 2019, and a coincidence of events saw Australian police forces, especially Victoria Police, under the pump. 2020 only got worse for our bungling coppers. First there was the humiliation of the Pell case outcome, then the unconscionable thuggery of VicPol against its own citizenry, beamed around the world, and finally, the McMurdo excoriation. Will things change? Will the rogue force south of the Murray be set to rights? Will anyone be punished? This article was written in December 2019, and is published here now for the first time.
The Persecution of George Pell
The editor of Quadrant magazine, Keith Windschuttle, as written a cracker of a book on the George Pell case. It is much needed, in order to provide some balance in the face of the various tirades previously published by sworn enemies of Cardinal Pell's. It should be read both by those who already know the case well, and by those who do not.
"You Are Forbidden From Getting Help"
We live in shark infested waters, and Daniel Andrews is a shark. Never assume it is safe to go into the surf in these waters, as Andrews' proposed legislation banning "conversion therapy" shows.
Jacinda, Justin, Joe, Boris and ScMo - A Busted Flush for the Anglosphere?
The Anglosphere faces a crisis of leadership. The West is now ruled wall-to-wall by second rate ideologues and/or chancers, either determined to change the global order or powerless to prevent the revolution we now face.
Journalism as Activism: The Case of Louise Milligan
Louise Milligan, who sought to destroy the reputation of Cardinal George Pell, has written a new book. She should have, instead, abjectly apologised for having written the first one.
Convergent Opportunism
Conspiracy theorists are everywhere. Sometimes, though, they are called acute observers, social scientists, historians, critical thinkers. Governments and others may not have planned the Covid epidemic, but many with agendas are cashing in. Call them convergent opportunists.
