Far Left accuses Linda Burney of being an Aboriginal “fig leaf”

Marvellous to see Labor’s far Left choking on the race politics it so recklessly pushed onto the rest of us:

Labor’s left faction in Victoria has hit out at a move against party stalwart Kim Carr, accusing MPs in NSW of using indigenous MP Linda Burney as a “sickening” figleaf for a factional hit.

An emergency meeting of the Victorian socialist left faction to be held tonight will move to condemn the move against Senator Carr ... [and] pass two resolutions...

Another reporter on The Australian calls for me to be muzzled

The answer is no, of course, as my article makes clear:

What I actually wrote, with the relevant bits on bold for lazy readers:

And if our politicians will not speak frankly and protect us from Islam, watch out for a civil war. A frightened public will not put up with this for much longer and will defend themselves.

Here, yes, that ugly day has not dawned and let us pray it never does. But in France, God knows how soon non-Muslim vigilantes will...

A super breach of trust. UPDATE: Christensen threatens to cross floor

Janet Albrechtsen on one of Malcolm Turnbull’s big mistakes:

The story of how the Turnbull government stitched up the poorest policy by a Liberal government in decades is told in one short letter to The Australian from a former Treasury official and an explosive email sent to the Liberal Party campaign director by a party donor.

In a letter sent to this newspaper a week after the May 3 budget, Terence O’Brien wrote: “Assistant Treasurer Kelly O’Dwyer...

What socialism looks like

Memories:

[In 2008] a collective of our snowfield socialists - including the ABC’s Phillip Adams, propagandist John Pilger, the Greens’ Kerry Nettle and Kevin Rudd’s nephew Van Thanh Rudd - begged Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez to come teach Australians a lesson:

Every country has its own traditions and culture and has to find its own solutions, but what Venezuela has been able to achieve in so little time will be a...

No girls at school

Girls are banned at a girls’ school. Miranda Devine explains:

We have reached the absurd position where teachers at an all-girls school in northwest Sydney, Cheltenham Girls High, have been asked to stop referring to their students as “girls”, ladies” and “women” and instead use “gender-neutral” language.

And to illustrate the maxim that so much that passes for idealism is a disguised hatred or a disguised love of power:

But some students at the elite...

No, Waleed, these excuses and this blame-shifting must end

Yet again, after yet more Islamic terrorism, apologist Waleed Aly criticises how the the targets of such terror react - not the theology that has inflamed and directed the killers.

Yet again, he has placed himself and other Muslims in the ranks of the sinned-against, singled out non-Muslims out for criticism and thrown in some completely misleading “rebuttals”.

Take this particularly deceptive response to one fact I pointed out and which Kruger repeated...

Which poor victim group can he possibly mean?

ABC presenter Mark Colvin seems to have trouble thinking of a word beginning with M, but whoever he means are the victims of racism:

MARK COLVIN: And you just described somebody weeping at the scene. What is the mood in Nice now, what is the mood around there?

I mean, it’s been for at least a quarter of a century a scene of fairly strong conflict between the far right, the National Front, and immigrant, large numbers of immigrants in that area. I remember...
