Bill Shorten and Chris Bowen, dodging the costs of their policies, are playing the old thimble and pea trick. But they don’t have a pea under any of their thimbles.
Well may Notre Dame be restored, but all the king’s horses and all the king’s men lack hope of putting the Liberal broad church together again.
Congratulations to the Melbourne Comedy Festival on its good work in renaming the Barry award in recognition of female participation. I see that Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has declined to comment, no doubt planning to rename his state in honour of men.
The Melbourne Comedy Festival’s dropping of an award honouring Barry Humphries is a joke, right?
Will political correctness mean the loss of Oscar and Emmy as well as the Barry?
It’s good that Melbourne Comedy Festival director Susan Provan is not in charge of the Academy Awards, otherwise Oscar would risk being renamed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences award.
Transgender men and women are sacred sites in the secular religion that now dominates our land with praise for those it decrees as saints and proscriptions for those it decrees as sinners.
Greens senators Richard Di Natale and Sarah Hanson-Young will campaign over Easter. One can only feel let down by these senators who show such disrespect for a nation founded on Christian principles.
With regard to the confected rage about Israel Folau, we are about to enjoy a four-day weekend that owes its origins in a very Christian occasion, the crucifixion of Jesus.
Mary Roberts (Letters, 17/4), it certainly is about freedom of religion. Israel Folau does not need to post social media comments to follow his religion, but he should be free to do so. Freedom of religion involves being free to express your beliefs without suffering any consequences. If you are penalised or prevented from doing so, then there is no freedom of religion.
People might be more sympathetic to the plight of Karen Nettleton’s grandchildren in Syria if she convinced them to take off those oppressive black sacks.

Pope Francis consistently warned that we were “close, almost, to a world war”, that the “third world war in pieces” was turning into a “real global conflict”.
Economy will bear the sorry results of high spending
What a shame that no member of the government, the teals or the Greens is old enough to recall the disastrous big-spending policies of the Whitlam Labor government that destroyed our economy.
