Australia has entrusted our economy to a PM, Treasurer and Energy Minister whose private sector experience between them amounted to eight weeks at a McDonald’s and an after-school stint at a bank. Now there’s wreckage everywhere you look.
After South Korea’s embattled president suddenly declared martial law, the country’s democracy was saved by social media — so why are many of our own politicians so hostile to it?
The Left is losing the big arguments. It’s got too loopy to defend the core beliefs of its identity with facts and reason, and we’re now getting too poor and divided to tolerate its nonsense.
The world-first ban on children under 16 using social media demands tech companies take “reasonable steps”. But who decides what’s “reasonable” and when to prosecute?
One year after Palestinian terrorists invaded Israel to slaughter 1200 Jews, rape women and behead men, it’s clear that Anthony Albanese never understood what Israel was dealing with.
The comments made by Anthony Albanese in the wake of Iran’s attack on Israel stand in stark contrast to those made by Peter Dutton — and they cover the Prime Minister in shame. He has exposed himself as unfit for office.
Iran has now shown it’s the puppet master in this war by Islamist groups against Israel, while Israel has proved its critics were wrong to demand it stop fighting and negotiate instead.
If Israel had been stupid enough to listen to Penny Wong’s embarrassing demands to stop fighting back against Hezbollah, the terrorist army would not today be in ruins.
Our ruling class once seemed to think “everyone” was behind Labor’s Voice – now they have three more sharp reminders that democracy is not their friend.
Much of the coverage of Israel’s retaliation against the Hezbollah army — which has overrun a third of that country — is stunning in its ignorance or omissions, as journalists become curdled by our toxic victim politics.
The fashion of damning and rejecting colonial culture is a fraud as many activists pushing the new separatist agenda seem to be enjoying the fruits of colonialism while hating the tree.
The Quad leaders didn’t mention China once by name in their 6000-word “Wilmington Declaration”, just noting “our serious concern about the militarisation of disputed features” and “intimidating manoeuvres in the South China Sea”.
I was wondering when it would get to this – when Foreign Minister Penny Wong would be exposed at last as a liar or dissembling panderer to Muslim voters.
Give Israel some credit for its pager-bomb incursion against Hezbollah — the cleanest attack you’ve seen on an enemy hiding among civilians.
