Book on board

My book at first lived large and wide, visiting Ho Chi Minh City, Santorini, London, Lake Como, Ithaca, Scotland, the Bay of Naples, Dubrovnik, Fiji, Aileron and the Andes, before attending a christening in Newcastlle.

But then it got down to work in Kalgoorlie and the coal seam gas fields of Condabri, Queensland, before invading Australia’s most Left-wing Parliament - an experience which convinced one reader of the need to conduct an experiment at...

On The Bolt Report on Sky News Live at 7pm tonight: 

Editorial: How government-funded Leftists tried to destroy Bill Leak. And why they are now so exposed.

My guests:

Jeremy Sammut of the Centre for Independent Studies on the huge wave of children now being taken from their homes for their own safety. So why has a royal commission just said no to more adoption?

Bill Leak was right. Where are his gutless accusers and smearers now?

Bill Leak’s critics are not just enemies of free speech but allergic to the truth:

The NSW Aboriginal Land Council said the cartoon was racist and has filed a complaint with the Australian Press Council.

“It was absolutely disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful. I can’t believe The Australian, a national newspaper, would be so insulting to us as Aboriginal people,” the council’s chairman Roy Ah-See said....

360,000 more illegal immigrants invade Europe in past six months

Europe’s migrant crisis is barely reported now, which may make you think it is over.

True, arrival numbers are down, but, no, it’s not over:

Italy has overtaken Greece to become the country on Europe’s migration frontline, with about 750 people arriving per day, the head of the EU border control agency Frontex said on Tuesday.

Around 50 migrants per day arrive in Greece, which used to be the main point of entry for migrants.

Can surgery fix what ails here?

Can someone that young truly know their own mind?:

The Family Court has given a 15-year-old child permission to have both breasts removed so she can feel more like a boy.

The decision is believed to be the first in which the court has ­approved major surgery for a child who wishes to change gender, ­before they have even started hormone treatment. The child, known in court documents as Quinn, was born female but has dressed as a boy since the age of four....

The Liberals drown in super

Judith Sloan on the Liberals’ super debacle:

The superannuation package Scott Morrison announced in this year’s budget is turning into a complete shemozzle. The Liberal Party’s membership is in revolt…

Turnbull and Morrison probably now realise they have been played for mugs by the bureaucrats in Treasury and Prime Minister and Cabinet who have long held the ambition to unwind what they see as the unjustifiable superannuation tax concessions. You have...

Costello warns of Turnbull inaction

Peter Costello does not seem to regard Malcolm Turnbull’s leadership skills highly:

Speaking on the ABC’s Four Corners program on Monday ... (f)ormer Liberal treasurer Peter Costello cast doubt on Mr Turnbull’s ability to manage ... a one-seat majority in the House of Representatives, an unwieldy Senate, balance the budget and govern effectively.

Because of this, Mr Costello said he, too, feared for the nation’s AAA credit rating.

“This government can...

A tribe that lost its mirror

An article in New Matilda protests that the “Right” is not alone in warning that identity politics is poisonous:

Don’t get me wrong, there are many smart members of the Left who have also raised concerns about the rise of identity politics....

Alongside this article is the author’s byline:

A Darumbul woman from central Queensland, Amy McQuire is the former editor of the National Indigenous Times and Tracker magazine.

Abused children and shattered care - signs of South Australia crumbling

South Australia’s royal commission in child protection reveals a society in decay, betraying its own children:

A damning assessment released yesterday of a system overseen by [Premier Jay] Weatherill, a former families and education minister, found it was the worst in the country for offering stable placements and for using private sector shift workers in residential care homes.

“...Of the children who left care in 2014-15, 13 per cent had more than 11...
