by PAUL COLLITS – AMID all the keystrokes spent upon Novak Djokovic’s appalling deportation from the penal colony that is contemporary Australia, the following words rang most true, and, at the same time, provided an idea. This is Kit Knightly at Off…
DEAR Premier, So, now we are in the age of geographical gaslighting. Bullying by postcode. Well done, Mr Perrottet and your little friend at The Australian (one Rhiannon Down, who has a tag on her twitter account “get vaxxed asap”). I see…
TYPE-casting and then bagging those who choose not to get a COVID jab is an emerging sub-genre of journalism, or what passes for it. Those who provide commentary and who write columns are especially prone to give in to what is clearly…
THE Morrison government has said that while world tennis no.1 Novak Djokovic poses a “negligible” risk of spreading COVID-19, his mere presence could stoke “anti-vaccination sentiment”. Mr Djokovic’s lawyers, meanwhile, have argued that the case against the tennis star was “illogical” and…

THERE are two kinds of vaccine virtue signalling. The obvious one is everywhere to be seen in the current vaccine dictatorships across the globe. The abuse meted out to the vaccine “refuseniks” has been relentless. The insults (stupid, selfish, granny-killer). The threats. …
AT LEAST some of the vitriol aimed at the vaccination refuseniks relates to the so-called free rider problem. The populist tone of much of the push for mass vaccinations to thwart COVID has the ring of Aussie jingoism. We are a nation…
