Posted on 8:29 pm, August 15, 2018 by Sinclair Davidson

The Australian political establishment has been in overdrive today. Fraser Anning (who?) used the words “final” and “solution” in the same sentence in Parliament. For reader guidance I’m going to reproduce the entire two paragraphs that surround that hateful and … Continue reading →

Territory Rights Euthanasia Bill defeated

Posted on 7:58 pm, August 15, 2018 by Sinclair Davidson

It is not often that I completely disagree with my good friend David Leyonhjelm on important matters. But I’m not convinced that adequate safeguards can ever be written into voluntary euthanasia legislation to prevent murder.  I am especially unconvinced that … Continue reading →

Andrew Bolt and the anti-semitic left

Posted on 11:34 am, August 5, 2018 by Steve Kates

At least for the present, being anti-Semitic is still counted as a negative. How long that will be, who can tell, but it is not hard to see that those days may be coming to an end, and if they … Continue reading →

Waste and vandalism in higher education

Posted on 9:59 pm, July 29, 2018 by Rafe Champion

A disgraceful story from the ANU, h/t Tony Thomas. For reasons that defy explanation the Australian National University condemned a perfectly adequate building that is also the heritage-listed point of origin for world-leading research in half a dozen disciplines. Why … Continue reading →

ABC chairman thinking of the children

Posted on 8:37 pm, July 11, 2018 by Sinclair Davidson
