The Garden State has become Animal Farm, where all are equal but some more equal than others. Major supermarkets thrive while mum-and-dad stores go broke. Union building sites operate, but non-Left public protests are quashed by a politicised VicPol. What matters these days isn't who you are but who your mates are

It is perhaps a blessing that veteran climate alarmist Lesley Hughes is such a magnet for prizes, awards, accolades and honors. With all the horrors she predicts for our ravaged planet, it must be restorative to take a break from doom and revel in the acclaim of the catastropharian cult's fellow leading and most vocal members

When I joined the Foresters of Australia it was an organisation supporting experienced, pragmatic, scientific land management and healthy debate. As demonstrated by the rejection of the paper I was to have presented, yet another body has come to be dominated by politically correct groupthinkers prepared only to hear views that endorse the dogma of preconceptions

US-built Virginia-class submarines present many advantages over the misbegotten French submarines now being re-designed from nuclear to diesel-electric, a folly fraught with so many complications no sane materiel-acquisition policy would even consider such a move. More than that, such an improvement in our defence systems would be cheaper, much cheaper

Incompetence, vainglorious arrogance, lies, blind eyes on the bench and an aggressively politicised police force have all helped make Victoria an even more miserable spectacle in this age of COVID.

"After watching the heartbreak of the latest lockdown in Victoria I have formed the view that border closures and other knee-jerk reflexes jeopardise national cohesion. My fellow Australians, I remind you that we are one and free, and that the greatest threat to our freedom is not COVID but our response to it. Now, after delaying too long, I propose to do something about it"

Ollie Robinson -- that modern rarity, an Englishman who can actually play cricket -- has been banished from the sport amid howls of outrage over tweets he sent years earlier, when still a callow teen. Once again, the scolds have risen to brandish their virtue and, once again, they are proving far more offensive than the target of their condemnation

Common Grace is a 'progressive' Christian organisation that has taken up the fight for a treaty with Australia's Aborigines. How this might be achieved, the legality of such a pact and what it might promise are issues never explained nor, apparently, examined in anything but the fuzziest focus. Could it be that advocates prefer not to notice the devil in the details?

Of all the errors in Bruce Pascoe's amalgam of epic nonsense, the publishers of his latest edition appear to have corrected just one mangled 'fact', an incorrect latitude reading. Meanwhile the book remains in use in schools, its blatant twisting of the historic record untouched as a blatant fraud's career horizons and bank account continue to expand

It was undeserved, given that Victoria's incompetence in dealing with COVID has been wrapped from the start in a caul of lies, but Treasurer Josh Frydenberg nevertheless has come to the party with yet more aid to take the pressure off the incompetents ruining Victoria. The pity is that he didn't ask some very pointed questions before doling out the latest aid
