HOW long will Australians tolerate politicians abusing their powers, while under-performing in so many areas under their responsibility, such as education? We live under a constitution based on the eternal rule that power tends to corrupt. An increasing number of Australians suspect the Wuhan virus is being used to create fear and thus an acceptance of draconian solutions used to win elections and even to maintain opinion polling ratings.
DOES the Australian political class despise young Australians as much as they despise self-funded retirees, mum-and-dad farmers, coal miners and those who have so valiantly risked their lives for their country, our veterans (and not only on Anzac Day)?
WE OWE them, our dear Queen Elizabeth and the late Prince Philip, a debt greater than they would ever claim and we shall ever know. With the departure of that great and heroic Prince, Philip, we are reminded of how our ancient monarchy is now dedicated, as the Queen indicated when she attained her 21st year, to our service and the service of the great family to which we all belong, the Commonwealth.
THE High Court will soon have the opportunity of demonstrating that traditional academic freedom and freedom of expression are still alive in Australia. The decision they hand down in Peter Ridd v James Cook University will rank in importance with the Court’s unanimous decision concerning Cardinal Pell, reaffirming the presumption of innocence and that guilt be proved beyond reasonable doubt.
THE Prime Minister resembles a mindless fish which swallows any bait dangled in front of it. Most are from ABC fiefdoms which realise that any sexual assault allegation, even unprovable, is his Achilles heel.
IF CONFIRMATION were needed of a determination to ensure US elections are conducted in egregious breach of the Constitution and as fraudulently as many believe the recent presidential election was, ramming the For the People Act of 2021, HR1, through the House of Representatives fits the bill.
DESPERATE for that silver bullet which will drop some politicians’ republic into their laps, Australia’s official republicans rushed to capitalise on Soap Oprah, as the Daily Telegraph headlined what threatens to be serialised into “Les pensées sublimes de la duchesse souffrante”. Much of what was claimed is fiction.
THE witch-hunt against Attorney-General Christian Porter is far more sinister than it initially would seem. It comes from a clandestine politically correct operation soaking up taxpayer-funded resources for a range of political campaigns from a shady, out-of-control ABC fiefdom.
MY ASSESSMENT of Donald Trump, confirmed by his superb CPAC speech, attracted a version of the elites’ current default critical race theory response: “You racist jerk”. Racist? In my youth, the front-page banner on the nation’s leading journal demanded “Australia For The White Man”. I would often be reminded of my origin even by adult strangers.
THERE used to be a statutory office whose very name struck terror into the hearts of those who feared for their sanity, now or in the future. This was the Master in Lunacy. Threats were frequently made that “men in white coats” were ready to take anyone away for behaviour or even comment judged irrational. We may well wonder what the Master would think of those who govern us today.
