HAVING triumphantly knifed two Labor prime ministers so far, Bill Shorten appears to have mistimed his latest attempt to knock off another ALP leader.
Seemingly convinced his Party would lose last weekend’s Eden-Monaro by-election, Shorten struck early by releasing his own “vision” for Australia – presumably believing struggling ALP leader Anthony Albanese would be mortally wounded on Saturday.
THE ABC has been accused of supporting Marxist ideology – aimed at turning Australians against each other – as it sides with extremists’ demands to topple national statues. In a lopsided piece appearing on its public-funded on-line service, the ABC this week argued the case for removing statues of prime ministers, monarchs and white settlers.
EVERY day but Sunday, my farmer mate Ferdie walks into his paddocks for his 10-11 hours of hard work. And every day he thanks God that he’s not a cynic, or a politician.
Even though he lost one year’s crop to drought, one to bush fire smoke and was locked down for months, these are times, says Ferdie, to stay positive and know you’re safe because Australia’s leaders will be focussed 100 per cent on our best interests, on what’s important for Australia.
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.
AUSTRALIA’S military build-up is on track to dwarf Germany, France and Britain as it responds to Chinese hostility in the Indo-Pacific region.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison last week announced a massive war chest taking annual military spending from this year’s US$35b up to US$61.2b by 2030.
This is approaching Russia’s current defence budget of US$61.6b a year.
NSW Government Whip Natasha Maclaren-Jones has torn strips off the Human Rights Commission – accusing it of “weaponising” against Australians who hold differing views.
In a scathing parliamentary speech, she blamed a serious lack of oversight for allowing the HR Commission, among other government agencies, to punish “wrong-thinking” citizens.
YOU can forget the Australian Education Union’s claim that the best way to raise standards and improve results is to invest more in education.
They would say that, wouldn’t they — despite the just-released OECD Education at a Glance 2019 report which ranks Australian primary and secondary school teachers among the best paid across the OECD countries. School principals’ salaries are also among the highest.
THE suspended Labor MP currently under ASIO investigation has described white Australians as “obsolete scum”, banned Jews from public meetings and encouraged the overthrow of Western society.
Lebanese-born NSW politician Shaoquett Moselmane, who had his offices, car and home raided by Australia’s top spy agency on Friday, is being investigated for close links to the Chinese Communist Party.
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.
FORMER Prime Minister Tony Abbott has called for national restraint as ASIO commenced raids last Friday on the offices of a Labor MP and his political staffer.
With the ALP suspending NSW MP Shaoquett Moselmane over “dreadfully concerning” allegations of Chinese Communist Party links, Mr Abbott has called for caution.
