And now Germany will pay for that invasion

Activists claiming refugees are an economic boom could not be more wrong, as Germany has not discovered all over again:

Young refugees accepted by Germany since the beginning of last year will cost the country an extra 67 billion euros ($100 billion) to educate and train, according to a new assessment of the bill for the migrant influx.

The new school year is getting under way with calls for 25,000 more teachers and reports that thousands of migrant...

“Racism” at the football has a young and female face

Reader Nev:

Ironic is it not that the two major incidents involving racism at AFL matches have involved women and children?

If you can’t say Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers you Probably hate Poms

Nick Cater is right to be amazed. The rest of us are right to fear, since the 33-year-old Soutphommasane now has huge state power to harass and punish those he deems guilty:

It may seem unfair to the 24 million Australians who have yet to master the pronunciation of the six tones of Lao, but as Thinethavone Soutphommasane often tells us, we should always call out racism when we see it.

“If someone says to me they’re not even going to try to pronounce my...

A massive teat makes everyone an infant

The problem is the culture, not any lack of money. In fact, too much government spending actually makes the problem worse:

Indigenous affairs spending worth $5.9 billion a year is not ­delivering results because few of the schemes being funded are properly evaluated, the assessment of what is needed is ­inadequate and some programs are poorly designed…

The CIS study, by researcher Sara Hudson, ... documents massive duplication of services, with...

The priests of Twitter

Reader ”wint”:

Everybody wants to be the guy to write the tweet that solves racism once and for all because it would look good as hell on a resume.

Well, how about Kevin Rudd for mayor?

Dumped as Prime Minister of Australia. Blocked from becoming UN secretary general. What next for Kevin Rudd?

Well, he’s now in the running in the August 30 election for mayor of Tombstone, Arizona:

(Thanks to reader Julie.)

What irritates him most is a racist being called out

Excuse me?

THE woman at the centre of the banana-throwing incident at Adelaide Oval has been “demonised”, according to a man claiming to be her father, who claims “the racist card” is being played.

“Don” called in to Adelaide radio station FIVEaa this morning to defend his daughter, who has been identified and banned indefinitely by Port Adelaide Football Club after she threw a banana toward indigenous Adelaide star Eddie Betts on Saturday night…

“I...

Scaring students into silence over the new race politics

This really is obscene. And even the university, while clearing one student, has nevertheless encouraged self-censorship over a form of apartheid which badly needs more debate, not less:

A student being sued for $250,000 in a section 18C racial hatred case was cleared of any wrongdoing three years ago by university executives over his Facebook post about his eviction from an indigenous-only study area…

University director of equity Mary Kelly, in an...

Threat defied. Credlin to stay

What do you call a threat that achieves exactly the opposite result?

Tony Abbott’s former chief of staff Peta Credlin is set to extend her high-profile media career ...  as a political commentator on Sky News…

It follows revelations in The Australian that Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull gave Sky News boss Angelos Frangopoulos an ultimatum during the federal election: dump Credlin or he would not appear on the channel. 

It was actually one of Turnbull’s...
