ANZAC DAY ANZAC DAY is the High Holy Day for the entire Australian people. The Left try to portray it as a celebration of militarism. All the troops marching through the streets can give that impression. But they overlook that on this day we actually celebrate a military DEFEAT. Pretty poor militarism. Two typical ANZAC day scenes below. Note the big crowd turnout. ANZAC commemorations are stlll widely embraced in Australia. To the undoubted chagrin of the Left, there are marches in most of our cities and crowds turn out to watch them and applaud. What we are really doing on ANZAC day i ..read more

Police failures, racial bias cited at inquest for Indigenous teenagers who died almost 37 years ago Claims that Aborigines have been badly treatd are no doubt true in some cases but this case is a stretch. There is no doubt that what happened was a road accident but there is some possibility that the driver in some ways behaved badly. And in response to that accusation the police brought the driver to trial and he was found not guilty. So how is that a police failure? It looks to me that the police went out of their way to be fair in the matter. The girls died in a road crash. How did racia ..read more

Teachers’ group to focus on Palestine on Anzac Day This is a lot of nonsense. The charge of the Australian Light Horse at Beersheba and related action was against the army of the Ottoman Turks, not Palestinians. It was incidentally the last successful cavalry charge in history so is well worth remembering as an achievement of Australian troops. And there is no doubt that charging into the guns of 1,000 Turkish riflemen in an entrenched position was heroic, if heroism matters any more A pro-Palestine teachers group has excoriated the Anzac legacy just two days before Australia commemorates i ..read more

I own three properties and I'm sick of Aussies blaming landlords for the rental crisis. Here are the two things really driving our country into the ground I can confirm that, by being careful with money, you can start off with nothing but still make money and own properties at a young age. I retired when I was 39 -- JR A Gen-Z property investor who owns three properties has shut down claims landlords are at fault for Australia's current rental crisis. Harley Giddings, 24, has worked hard since adolescence and in every job 'under the sun' to own a house and is now the proud owner of multip ..read more

Suicide of 10-year-old Aboriginal boy in the care of Aboriginal relatives described as 'unimaginable' The "stolen generation" myth put about by Leftist historians means that social workers trying to help a neglected Aboriginal child are obliged to rehouse the child with other Aborigines, who are often as feckless as the neglectful families. If the old custom of fostering the endangered child into a white family had been followed, the boy would almost certainly still be alive. Attention-seeing Leftist lies can kill A suicide prevention advocate says a 10-year-old Indigenous boy who took hi ..read more

Australia's Olympic uniforms were unveiled on Wednesday, with big changes The green and gold used previously made sense as a reference to Australia's founding on gold mining and farming but all I see here is blue jackets and white skirts with yellow splotches on them that make it look like the ladies have wee'd themselves. They will be a laughing stock. Some people just don't know when to leave well enough alone. It's supposed to be "creative" but you need talent for that. Just being different is not enough A number of hopefuls took to Clovelly Beach in Sydney to pose in their new outfits ..read more

Love thy neighbour? What to do when you can’t stand who’s next door It's generally good advice below but having a dog in a small unit is generally unfortunate, including for the dog. When it comes to loud music I have a better idea than any mentioned below. I once had some young people move in next door and they liked their music loud. I called on them and asked them to tone it down. I also mentioned smilingly that we both had equal rights about playing music. When nothing changed, I dealt with it promptly. I put my HiFi speakers on the window sill nearest to them and promptly played Janac ..read more

Another limit to Australia's electric vehicle revolution If you are towing something with an EV, you can't just drive onto a forecourt and fill up as you would with a combustion-powered vehicle. Anybody who ever tows a trailer of any kind would be mad to buy an EV. EVs are just a rich man's toy I have financed an older couple to travel around Australia towing a long and very well-appointed caravan. A diesel Toyota Prado does an effortless and untroubled job of towing it. They pass through many country areas so would just not be able to do the trip with an EV. Aussie drivers have scorned ..read more
