THE Tax Institute has recommended the re-introduction of death duties in what surely is one of the worst plans since The Greens campaigned in central Queensland in 2019. It’s common knowledge that national revenue increases when economic activity is stimulated by reducing…
ONE of the great disappointments of the COVID era has been the performance of the fourth estate. Corporate media has simply transformed itself into an arm of government, a super-spreader of hysteria and propaganda on behalf of Big Pharma and a source…
THE Liberal Party is on the cusp of imploding as its elected MPs abandon centre-right values and, instead, compete for Greens’ votes. The founder of Australia’s largest conservative conference, CPAC’s Andrew Cooper has cautioned that the once great Party had become a…
THE self-styled saviour of the Liberal Party, John Ruddick, has walked away saying the once centre-right conservative Party was a lost cause. In announcing his departure, the author of Make the Liberal Party Great Again even questioned whether Liberal founder, the late…
WHY are we so willing to give up our freedoms and how the hell did we get here? These are two of the most commonly asked questions about COVID-19 hysteria and the formulation and implementation of the disastrous policies across the globe in response to the Chinese virus. Excellent questions both.

Some years back, I argued that Barnaby Joyce’s greater sin was not deserting his then wife, but rather that he refused to use his Party’s power to keep Malcolm Turnbull away from the top job.
CLIMATE scaremongering by the political class has come back to bite Australia, with the UN demanding billions more be spent “saving” an otherwise perfectly healthy Great Barrier Reef. With federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley constantly pushing the climate panic button over the reef, the UN has reacted accordingly, placing the World Heritage-listed wonder on its “in danger” list.
PRIME Minister Scott Morrison is sometimes unkindly labelled “Scotty from Marketing” in reference to his earlier career.
