Twitter Can Now Fly
Two hours ago, Elon Musk’s long-anticipated acquisition of Twitter was completed. Hopes now run high that at least one social media platform can operate for all and free speech restored. Time will tell. As an avid user of the platform, I believe the following needs addressing: 1. Bots. The system is fouled by fake accounts created by algorithm. The platform must be cleansed...
Why Liberty Is Losing and What To Do About It
SETTING THE SCENE You could be forgiven for feeling despair at the state of Australian politics right now. Ditto for the West as a whole. Unfortunately, despair doesn’t take us where we need to go. There are four forces pulling us in the wrong direction at the moment. The quick summary is that the Liberty-Authority war is raging but Liberty is losing too...
Mr. Adams and his ‘RWNJ’ Slur against an Icon
Federation University’s Verity Archer discovered a letter written in 1975 by Sir Donald Bradman, the greatest cricket batsman ever to play with an unparalleled average of 99.94, to newly elected Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser. The 1975 federal election was undoubtedly a fiercely contested battle. Emotions were high. As any citizen was and is entitled to do, Bradman took a side...
Australia’s Taiwan Visit Sparks Ugly CCP Sabre-Rattling
This month, six members of Australia's federal parliament, composed of both Labor and Coalition members, visited Taiwan. This diplomatic excursion was organised by Liberal politician Scott Buchholz and involved former Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, as well as Labor MPs Meryl Swanson and Libby Coker.

INTERVIEW: Former Chinese Diplomat Embraces Liberty
Since a new Labor government in Australia was elected in 2022, there has been a warming trend in Australia-China relations. Our ministers are back engaging with Beijing officials and trips to China by our elected leaders are resuming. The CCP influence whistleblower, Sydney based former Chinese diplomat Mr Yonglin Chen, who defected to Australia in 2005, issued a warning many...
INTERVIEW: Wincing First-Hand Account of Uyghur Concentration Camp Torture
This isn’t easy to read. Omar Bekali visited Adelaide recently to deliver a series of keynote speeches. At first glance, a man on a speaking tour seems ordinary enough. However, Omar’s story is anything but ordinary. A survivor of the Chinese Communist Party’s Xinjiang Camp, Omar Bekali, 46, presents as a courageous but scarred man with first-hand experience of the Chinese Government’s...
Phillip Adams Must Go
I believe people should be allowed to say what they want. Free speech is a human right. Should you have to pay for it, though? Take yesterday’s reply to Kamahl from taxpayer-funded ABC journalist, Phillip Adams: Phillip Adams @PhillipAdams_1 Clearly, Kamahl, he made you an Honorary White. Whereas one of the most towering political figures of the 20th century was deemed unworthy of Bradman’s...
You’re The Voice
In a quiet moment today or even right now if that’s possible, read the lyrics below whilst watching this clip … and tell me this doesn’t make you more determined politically. “We're not gonna sit in silence, We're not gonna live with fear” could well apply to the last two and a half years. So, are you going to “Make...
FREEDOM! The Daughter of Davos Resigns.
Two extraordinary things happened yesterday. First, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced her resignation effective, at the latest, early in February 2023. (Yes, New Zealanders need to endure her for a few weeks more!) Second, I put out this short tweet yesterday together with a video of the Prime Minister, and it went viral. In a mere 180 minutes, it...
Stunning Early Victorian Election Prediction
To be clear, I don’t know who’s going to win the Victorian election later tonight, 26 November 2022. How can I or any of us? However, I’m going to make a prediction as I write this at 3:20pm ACDT 26 November 2022, and have the prediction published just minutes before the polls have closed so you know I’ve not had any...
