How mad is life in Australia's national asylum? Well, here is NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard from just the other day: 'The booster is ... pushing back against the evil of this virus, the evil air can wreck upon us.' Meanwhile, in the sane world of benign air, the readily spread but mild Omicron strain is removing any excuse for restricting freedoms

I'm sorry, but after two years of hysteria my patience runs thin with the leaders who, to their shame, are now touting the mass vaccination of young children in no unjabbed danger whatsoever. As the vituperative rhetoric of the Djokovic debacle continues, one cannot observe Florida, its governor, his common sense and backbone without being overcome by jealousy

America's founders had it right when they drew up the Bill of Rights and added the first ten amendments to their Constitution, all having to do with to do with shielding the individual from the State. COVID has shown that, while they didn’t try hard enough, the fruit of their efforts still surpass the protections extant in Australia and what used to be known as the Free World

If wind farms compete they will go out of business. It’s as simple as that, meaning the market must be rigged. One way would be to ensure that a single supplier monopolises output in a defined market. Another would see suppliers collude. A third, the most likely, would see government set a floor price or continue providing subsidies to rent-seeking carpetbaggers

When did it become OK – I must have missed it – for children to be put at risk in order to protect the lives of the old and sickly? That’s where we are right now; pathetically and immorally eager to do the bidding of health bureaucrats in order to 'keep safe'. Where is that 'abundance of caution' we've heard so much about, or doesn't that apply to children?

The plight of the Religious Discrimination Bill highlights the difficulties that abound when a society that has abandoned the values which once unified it attempts to find the sensible middle ground of tolerant consensus. As we're seeing, it’s hard, perhaps impossible, to craft legislation which satisfies wildly disparate points of view

It’s hard to find something these days which can’t be fitted into some grand, even exotic, theory. What we thought of as weather is now part of the theory of climate change. Without claiming any expertise, so pardon any imprecision, I understand that gender and queer theory is a dialectical endeavour to fit a multitude […]

Twelve ordinary Americans defied the baying of the leftist mob, ignored the media's slanderous misreporting, saw through prosecutorial misconduct and acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse on the strength of the evidence and only the evidence. George Pell should have been so blessed, but it seems brave and rational jurors are in short supply in our part of the world

One of the reasons I stopped watching the ABC was to break my habit of shouting at the telly. It’s unbecoming, completely futile, raises one’s blood pressure, causes nervous dyspepsia and might well shorten life. Alas, even amongst Sky's conservative talking heads these days there are vexations aplenty

While the likes of Daniel Andrews assert only the jab will keep you safe, the latest numbers out of the UK tell a different story. Amongst those 30 or older the infection rate among the vaccinated is, on the whole, about twice that of the unvaccinated. So what is a politician or CMO to do as earlier promises come asunder? Denounce the unvaccinated, of course
