SOUTH Australian senator Rex Patrick has accused Premier Steven Marshall of “sleeping with the enemy” after the State leader spoke at the opening of a new Chinese consulate in Adelaide – where he was shouted down by hundreds of protestors.
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.
WHEN sandal clad, social security funded brigades of bearded buffoons began to invade corporate Australia’s AGM seasons some years ago, no-one took much notice.

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.
THE Left’s organisational team that oversaw former Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s 2019 election disaster has controversially been given a second chance to win Warringah. The former Liberal stronghold had never been lost by the Party until its hard Left “moderate” faction grabbed control in 2018.
