by ROGER CROOK – DO THE latest opinion polls indicate that more than a few Australians are suffering from voter remorse? Most of us have experienced buyer remorse. The heart overrules the head for a moment; a rash act is often followed…
by PAUL COLLITS – ONLY about 32 per cent of Australian voters gave Labor their first preference at the 2022 federal election. There was no ringing endorsement, despite a decade of ignominious and corrupted Liberal rule. Certainly, there was no mandate. It’s…
by PAUL COLLITS – THE title of one of Cat Stevens’ early classics turns out to be an apt description for the hapless, short-term, finger-in-the-dyke Premier of the Sunshine State, Steven Miles. Where does the Australian Labor Party dredge up these creatures? …
by BETTINA ARNDT – THE Brittany Higgins celebrity saga continues with the white dress she wore to a feminist rally being considered an addition to the collection in the Museum of Australian Democracy. But another key player in this circus isn’t doing…

The pair are reported to have had a mid-meeting verbal brawl which saw Mr Fitzgibbon storm out after saying he regretted not running for the ALP leadership.
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.
WHILE the Left continues to scream abuse at “racist” statues and cancel anything that hurts their feelings, their political masters this week were busy giving child rapists a free pass.
Labor and the Greens teamed up in Federal Parliament on Monday to reject mandatory sentencing of convicted paedophiles.
ANTHONY Albanese has downplayed alleged criminal behaviour within Victorian Labor by ignoring industrial scale “corruption” and instead focussing on “sexist and homophobic” comments.
In a blatant attempt to divert attention from allegations of branch stacking, taxpayer fraud, secret pay-offs and possible signature fraud, the blindsided ALP leader said he was appalled by the politically incorrect language used by ALP kingpin Adem Somyurek.
