THE politicians are ruining Australia far sooner than anyone ever expected.It was always self-evident that a lockdown of the productive sector must be a last resort. The first was completely unjustified. It has, without explanation, morphed from “flattening the curve” to preventing hospital crowding to eradication, which is impossible.
WHEN a commercial media outlet engages in a serious and unacceptable breach of ethical standards, the solution is simple. Turn it off or don’t read it. Where this is a public broadcaster, reforming its governance, even questioning its very existence, must follow. Above all, such a broadcaster must never engage with an alien foreign power to abuse the prestige and authority entrusted to it.
THE republican movement is in disarray. It is split several ways: whether to promote an elected or appointed president with or without reserve powers, whether to campaign against the Queen, whether to campaign on a single fake issue and most importantly, those who are dismayed by all this and demand a more serious approach.
THE National Cabinet is a dismal failure. Never before has Australia, even in wartime, been governed by a grand coalition of Parties and governments, underwritten by big business and with the mainstream media tranquilised.
Unlike the ancient Roman republic, this is not a dictatorship constitutionally empowered to confront an emergency. It is a coup.
AUSTRALIANS have never agreed to have the latest far-Left foreign dogma apply here, to hand over premium and strategic assets to foreign communist-front entities or to have their country held back from achieving its true potential.
Without our blessing, the politicians have signed what Terry McCrann and Alan Jones slammed as a “national suicide note”. This has made our once cheap energy both unreliable and the most expensive in the world. To justify this, the elites are doing what Winston Smith was employed to do at Orwell’s 1984 Ministry of Truth, known as Minitrue. Temperature records are being changed, or rather, “homogenised”.
WAR preparations, a government-imposed recession or depression, shock reporting about an allegedly resurgent Wuhan virus, borders closed, talk that overseas travel will not be allowed until next year, the Andrews government’s links to the Beijing dictator, more lockdowns in Melbourne with public housing tenants put under house arrest, the political parties and the mainstream media speaking more in unison than even during a world war— where is Australia going?
AN EMINENT man has been judged guilty without the benefit of that crucial attainment of our civilisation, a fair trial.
The High Court has thus compromised not only any appeal, but any civil action and however unlikely, any criminal action.
THE extraordinary plans afoot in Canberra for Malcolm Turnbull, Paul Keating, Kevin Rudd, or someone of their ilk, to succeed Queen Elizabeth in her capacity as Queen of Australia were noted in my comment in The Spectator Australia earlier this year. Under a plan concocted by Victorian federal Labor MP Julian Hill, this is to be achieved without a referendum.
WITHOUT any consultation whatsoever with the Australian people, much less their consent, the Constitution has been amended to block the lawful deportation of violent criminal aliens declared to be indigenous.
This was done with breathtaking arrogance by four little-known black-robed High Court justices sitting in Canberra’s palace of justice, a brutally ugly building which despoils the vista across Lake Burley Griffin.
Australians have been outraged to see the elites — prime minister, premiers and police chiefs — support a right to protest about an event far away and beyond our control as an exception from their recession-making lockdown.
The result was an authorised communist-led demonstration through peak-hour Sydney followed by a second one a few days later.
