A SPECTRE is haunting the world – the Mussolini syndrome where the leader addresses the populace based on a cocktail of alien, fashionable dogmas, announcing decisions taken which will significantly change their lives.No longer needing a Palazzo Venezia balcony like Mussolini’s to speak from, leaders today do this through electronic devices now found everywhere.
VICTORIA Labor Premier Daniel Andrews has been hammered in a new opinion poll with his handling of COVID-19 being judged the worst in the nation – by far. Of five mainland States, Victoria’s response to the Wuhan pandemic has been rated the worst with daylight to spare.
WHEN a senior government minister publicly complains about his own government’s inaction on a life or death issue, it’s time to hit the public panic button. After last January’s devastating bushfires claimed 25 lives and countless hectares of land across NSW, we now learn that the very politicians gifted high-powers to prevent a repeat are complaining that they’ve not done enough.
FOR all the talk of wokeness and cancel culture, it didn’t just spring out of nowhere – it has a long history. There’s no doubt politically correct woke ideology and cancel culture dominate Western societies and determine government policy, how individuals interact both privately and at work and what happens in our schools and universities.
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.
TOO many politicians seemingly embrace the moral low ground with almost every ethical decision laid before them. Whether its sexualising pre-teens in the classroom, giving the nod to late term abortions, watering down bestiality laws or allowing HIV-infected people to “hide” their condition from bed partners – they almost always manage to defile themselves.
CATHOLIC schools teaching atheism and queer gender theory are in “dangerous territory” and risk losing public funding according to a senior NSW MP. The Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta this week announced atheism and LGBTQ identity theory were to be included in its 2021 religious curriculum.
ULTRA-Left NSW MP Matt Kean has suggested he is the future of the Liberal Party – and not conservatives such as Menzies, Howard or Abbott.
In what could only be described as a self-congratulatory piece in Friday’s Australian Financial Review, the NSW minister spoke of his government-supplied Tesla, his Greens Party agenda as well as his disapproval of former PM Tony Abbott. He also provided a glimpse of his deep dislike for US President Donald Trump.
AUSTRALIANS are twice as concerned about the health of the nation’s economy as they are for their own well-being as the Coronavirus pandemic picks up a new head of steam.
With an uncontrolled second wave in Victoria and isolated outbreaks in NSW and Queensland, all Australians whether male or female, young or old have ranked the economic impact as their primary concern, by far.
OUR founding fathers when debating the union of the separate colonies on the great southern continent into one country, had one major concern.
That concern dominated discussions and constitutional debates like no other. The concern was this: how to ensure that the newly formed central government did not overwhelm the autonomy of the States to govern citizens within their own borders.
