Recent events in Australia give little cause for optimism that we have either a clean, efficient and effective criminal justice system or an incorruptible and just policing regime. The thuggery of Victoria Police during the COVID-19 lockdown has exposed Australia to a combination of disdain and pity internationally. Victoria Police’s brazen abuse of questionably derived […]

To maintain white men are more favoured than any other racial/gender group is to ignore that they are much less likely to receive the protection of the law, more inclined to take their own lives and, generally, much less socially successful than almost any other ethnic-social group

The sad reality is that Victorians have been miserably betrayed by their federal and state governments in many ways and on many levels. Premier Andrews is a leader of authoritarian inclinations and, to its shame, the Morrison government has tacitly consented to the deplorable oppression being visited 24/7 on that unfortunate state's population
