A 72-year-old man has been jailed in the UK for selling mince pies during lockdown. He may have done the wrong thing, but I’m hoping he doesn’t spend too long in custardy. Dobbers Neighbours reported Maurice Snelling to police in December 2020 when they saw [...]

Apparently, identifying as they/them doesn’t preclude you from an award based on gender. Emma D’Arcy has been named as one of GQ Magazine’s Men of the Year. Caitlyn Jenner was named Glamour Magazine’s woman of the year back in 2015, so I suppose it’s a [...]

Parents, beware: The Cartoon Network is spewing woke unscientific propaganda at your unwitting children. I’m old enough to remember when watching cartoons on a Saturday morning was just a fun part of being a kid. These days, it’s a dangerous pastime where kids are actively [...]

If the planet were on fire, would your first thought be… let’s jump on a plane to talk about it? If it is, you probably don’t believe the planet is really on fire. But it’s okay, Yamin, because we don’t believe it either.

There is outrage in Norway after a man was sympathetically interviewed on television about his decision to begin identifying as a disabled woman. Jørund Viktoria Alme, 53, an able-bodied male who now identifies as a disabled woman, told Good Morning Norway that he had always [...]

There is a reason, historically, that we have single-sex spaces. “Transwomen are women”, or so the saying goes. But it’s just not true. Transwomen are not a subset of women, they are a subset of men. This should not be difficult to comprehend. After all, [...]

If Netball Australia had any decency, they would reject Dan Andrews' $15m sponsorship offer. The Victoria Premier promised to fill the void left by Gina Rinehart’s decision to end an agreement between Hancock Prospecting and Netball Australia. Rinehart tore up her agreement with the sport [...]

"Self-driving" cars are as much a pipe dream as "self-identification" as one's preferred gender. Neither is based in reality. News of a fatal accident involving everyone’s favourite electric car that smashed into a tree with no one at the wheel raises the question: Why do [...]

Despite Labor's promises to address the rapidly increasing cost of living, their perplexing power policies keep driving the price of electricity up. I cannot work out which is more incredible -- the claims this government makes, or the fact that this government expects Australians to [...]

As the USA grapples with rising costs of living and the world teeters on the brink of major war, Biden chose to have an interview with a transgender TikTok star. Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are choking on their Weetbix this morning in laughter at [...]

The mob are insistent that Australia’s richest woman must repudiate the racist comments of her now-deceased father. Lang Hancock said in a 1984 television interview that Aboriginals should be sterilised; a disgraceful comment, to be sure. And now -- only 38 years later -- the [...]

The Left love eternal, collective guilt. That’s why they demanded last week that mining magnate Gina Rinehart renounce statements her father made 40 years ago about Aboriginal people. But Gina understands she inherited her father’s business, not his sins. So -- rightly in my view [...]

New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard has announced he will be quitting politics. No, that’s not thunder, that’s the sound of New South Wales clapping. Hazzard’s carry-on during the pandemic was a disgrace. The former science teacher bullied and belittled the public as if [...]

Microsoft has unveiled the latest gay Pride flag. The Pride flag has had more updates than Windows, so it makes sense that Bill Gates' team have had a go at it. Apparently, Microsoft designed the flag by having an intern chug paint and then vomit [...]

A Hobart mayoral candidate has been accused of mocking transgendered people because she signed off an email by identifying as a frog. In the email addressed to a non-binary Hobart council member, who uses the pronouns they/them, Louise Elliot identified herself as ‘Kermit (Louise) Elliot’ [...]

Our energy policy is one only idiots would buy. I’m old enough to remember when they called Australia the clever country. These days we’re the class dunce. Energy policy -- or in other words the pursuance of a net zero nirvana promoted by globalists who [...]

We may have alienated an ally, but look at the new friends we have! The Albanese government’s latest foreign policy move has received generous praise… from terrorists. The decision to reverse Australia’s recognition of West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has pleased all the [...]

Liberal supporters disappointed that Scott Morrison wasn’t interested in fighting the Culture Wars will be dismayed to discover that Peter Dutton seems intent on fighting them, but for the other side. The Opposition leader took time out from not opposing Net Zero madness to vilify [...]

Staff at a Melbourne boys' school have been told not to use gender-specific terms in order to be more inclusive. I know what you’re thinking: “More inclusive of what? It’s a school exclusively for boys!” But you’re only thinking that way because you’re normal. And [...]

The Green Gremlin has shocked her supporters by insisting Germany made a big “mistake” by shutting down its nuclear reactors. Personally, I think the bigger mistake was allowing a Swedish teenager to dictate world energy policy. But I digress. The Goblin of Doom’s sudden change [...]
