Bolt: Virus is eroding our freedoms too easily

The many new virus bans introduced by politicians are meant to keep us safe but they are only making life easier for the government. And in our COVID panic we have meekly surrendered our freedoms to those growing fond of their power, writes Andrew Bolt.

COVID-19 drug ban could cost Aussie lives

Of all the bans in coronavirus-mad Australia, the most lunatic is the one on a cheap drug that could save your life. But despite overseas support, our government claims hydroxychloroquine can kill — which makes no sense, writes Andrew Bolt.

Bolt: Our governments have utterly failed us all

What Victorians really need in time like this is for governments to do the basics well. Yet whether it be the Andrews Government hiring amateurs to run hotel quarantine or the Morrison Government failing to develop a virus plan for aged care, they’ve failed us, writes Andrew Bolt.

Victorians should be trembling for their freedom

Victoria once boasted people prepared to die for democracy. Yet now we have the Andrews government, which is stuffed with health fascists who seem to think democracy isn’t worth the infinitesimally tiny danger of sickness to turn up and do their solemn duty, writes Andrew Bolt.

Our leaders deserve respect as well as criticism

Although terrible mistakes have been made, we should thank our political leaders for fighting like hell to stop a frightening virus even our top scientists struggle to understand. We can criticise their failings but that should come with respect, writes Andrew Bolt.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JULY 28: Lizzy Jarret speaks with the media prior to delivering a petition to NSW Parliament calling for immediate action and the investigation of Aboriginal deaths in custody, including the death of David Dungay Jr, on July 28, 2020 in Sydney, Australia. The rally was organised to protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody and in solidarity with the global Black Lives Matter movement. More than 400 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have died in custody across Australia since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths In Custody. As the protest is unauthorised by authorities, NSW police have the power to arrest and prosecute attendees for breaking a current COVID-19 health order which bans mass gatherings.

Race-baiters ignore truth on David Dungay’s death

Race-baiters would have you believe that David Dungay is a symbol of the “racism” in our legal system. Yet the left and the media shy away from the fact he was a violent thief and woman beater who died in a struggle with warders trying to stop him eating himself to death, writes Andrew Bolt.

Political games have made crisis worse for everyone

If our leaders had got the basics of this pandemic under control — keeping the infectious in quarantine and the old safe — the rest of us could have got on with life, but political games have destroyed trust and sent us into a new wave, writes Andrew Bolt.
