During covid-19 I played around with my own online publication. My government had shut down my business and I was sitting home in my one-bedroom granny flat in Melbourne, staring at my four walls living under draconian rule and wondering how the hell did we get here? To maintain my sanity I decided to start my own political online newspaper called “The Conservative” and through doing so I was able to vent my frustrations with our political and media elite and then share them with my Twitter (now X) friends and followers. It was a bit of fun that also earned me a little spare change. Once res ..read more

It’s time to deliver Major party status to minor party policy The most nauseating and illogical political thinking to emerge in Australia throughout this pandemic is that from rusted-on Liberal Party or more specifically Scott Morrison supporter. Had you engaged in any exchanges with them you would have heard by “Don’t vote for minor parties or the ALP will win government. The Liberal/Nationals government is really bad but the ALP will be worse.” or something similar. While it can legitimately be argued that the ALP may be worse, it can only be argued that the difference would be at the marg ..read more

Good people staying quiet is no longer an option. The definition of fascism in the Cambridge dictionary is “a political system based on a very powerful leader, state control of social and economic life, and extreme pride in country and race, with no expression of political disagreement allowed“ Sound familiar? We aren’t quite there yet, but unless you have the major party political blinkers on, it’s not hard to see that we are taking dangerous steps in that direction. More important is the understanding that a Fascist government doesn’t happen overnight, it develops over time, little by litt ..read more

My letter to help Kill the Bill I am sending the below letter to all our federal and state members of parliament. Dear Victorian State and Federal Parliamentarians, I know you are being inundated with emails and correspondence. I simply ask for you to take the time to read this one as I give you four examples of humanity being impacted due to the actions of governments on both sides of the aisle. I then ask you to reflect upon and give consideration to these stories and my thoughts contained within. Then please realise that these stories from my experience would replicate tens of thousands ..read more

Join with us to change the hearts and minds of our political elite. To say that we are living in strange and challenging times would be an understatement of unprecedented levels. Through the covid-19 crisis, we have seen the implementation of lockdowns, restrictions, vaccine passports and mandates and due to all of this, we have witnessed the most draconian imposition upon people’s lives than ever before in our country’s history. This has led to robust debate, argument and sadly, divisiveness amongst our community. People’s positions on things such as vaccines, mandates and lockdowns have po ..read more

Why is the Prime Minister quiet when other countries are speaking out One of the curious aspects of this entire covid-19 crisis for me has been the acquiescence of the Australian public as they have lost one freedom after another as more restrictions and mandates have been inflicted upon them in an ever-increasing draconian manner. Recently that curiosity has become more confronting as people overseas are increasingly taking more notice of our situation and in doing so becoming more appalled at what they see. We have had Polish politicians protest outside our embassy in Warsaw, English citi ..read more

Where are you? To all the  Victorian Liberal Part Members within OUR Victorian parliament. I have one simple question to ask each of you. Where are you? I have found myself asking this one question of our Victorian State liberal members of parliament on several fronts. On Friday the 1st of October the Victorian Premier announced mandated vaccine requirements for all authorised workers. This has been rightly and wrongly that workers need to be fully vaccinated if they wish to keep working. God knows how many Victorians are now being bullied, coerced and intimidated, through their, work ..read more

If the right model emerges, I will be shouting Republic! Republic! Albert Einstein’s famous line: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” I believe that this statement is particularly poignant at this point of time in our nation’s history. It has never been as applicable as it has to Australia throughout these past two years as we have endured this covid-19 crisis. This was brought fully into context when in the same week Melbourne obtained the record as the most locked-down city on the globe over the past two years, (despit ..read more

Truth, Spin and Propaganda. As I work predominately from home I am in the fortunate situation of being able to watch live streams of the numerous protests that are happening across Melbourne and country . These protests are being broadcast directly from where the protests are happening as they are happening by several independent journalists. Most notably Rukshan Fernando, but there are others.  It is important to note as independent journalists these individuals mostly do not take any direction from editors or management and they get right amongst it with the protesters, unlike main ..read more

A tale of two twitters! Over the past fortnight, I have experienced a roller coaster ride of all that is both the best and worst of being a Twitter user. I have had a personal and business account for over ten years on the Twitter platform and have enjoyed varying degrees of follower support. Like many Twitter accounts with a conservative-leaning I suffered a dramatic loss of followers after Donald Trump was kicked off Twitter and conservative accounts were then purged across the globe. This in itself was bizarre as people on Twitter group mostly according to their interests and beliefs, so ..read more
