Simon Holmes à Court claims his 'voices of' candidates represent the sensible centre, which is exactly the same turf on which the Liberals here in South Australia also claim to stand. Really? A 'conservative' party that endorses euthanasia and the latest of late-term abortions is 'moderate'? I don't think so. I believe, though, I have found a genuine, principled alternative

Why were West's elites and their media handmaidens so ill-disposed to countenance COVID's origins in a PRC bio lab almost within spitting distance of the first cases, as Sharri Markson wonders in 'What Really Happened in Wuhan'? Whatever the reasons, the likes of Paul Barry and Media Watch did Beijing proud in their efforts to deny the blindingly obvious

The US was in Al-Qaeda’s sights long before September 11 and it is fair to suggest that Washington’s my-enemy’s-enemy-is-my-friend Cold War realpolitik played a part in bringing about the attacks. But if 9/11 was in any way a consequence of US foreign policy, the larger truth is that Osama bin Laden was the product of an Islamic revivalism that failed to revive Islam

The woke mob, empowered by the omnipresence of social-media platforms, makes everyone a potential victim -- prey to be hunted and hounded with the encouragement of organisations, like the ACLU, whose former purpose has been subverted by naked politics. Andy Warhol was wrong. It's not fifteen minutes of fame we can all expect, but fifteen minutes of shame

Helmsman Xi's conceit is that the Party, the nation and the people are one and indivisible, and that the CCP has always 'loved the Chinese people'. It's a claim so brazen it invites the quip that relieving millions of their lives is a peculiar way of showing it

If you can make a fact-pattern fit the shape of your screwball ideology, then reality is a mere distraction. Such has been the template Hamas operatives once more have lavished on the eagerly gullible -- or is that mischievously partisan? -- Western press: ravenous Jewish wolves vs. innocent, peace-loving unarmed Palestinians

The CCP's great conceptual innovation in the post-Mao era has been to build on century-old fabrications to create a racialist nationalism that conveniently intertwines notions of 'China', 'the people', 'the government', 'the nation-state' and 'the Party'. The fact of the matter is that China has never been a nation-state in anything resembling the European sense

There are obvious differences between Mao’s New Democracy and Xi’s China Dream, and yet they share a key point: the CCP must be the final arbiter of all things under heaven. That ambition is no reason for us to accommodate with our subservience a tyranny that seeks to destroy every independent voice it has encountered on its way to prospective global domination

Big Media unilaterally decided that Joe Biden won the 2020 US election fair and square, decreeing without investigation that the contest was no more rigged than any other and that the time had come for unity. That a nation of two bitter and mutually contemptuous tribes can find common ground is nothing short of absurd
