I’n not sure this deters the Apex gang

A few chances too many already?

AN Apex Gang teen on a string of serious charges has been given a stern warning by a magistrate that he wouldn’t “get an endless number of chances”.

The 15-year-old was already on bail facing charges of threatening to kill, armed robbery and unlawful assault after a seven month crime spree, including affray over the Moomba riots.

But he was in a Children’s Court for a completely separate matter — accused of a midnight...

Can we mention the children or not?

British Conservative Andrea Leadsom, running for the leadership is told to apologise for claiming that having children would make her a better PM:

Genuinely I feel that being a mum means you have a real stake in the future of our country, a tangible stake.

But no one asked Labor leader Bill Shorten to apologise:

I’m a father now – I share a connection when parents ask about their kids that I realistically didn’t fully understand or appreciate...

Labor must help the Liberals to save us

Chris Mitchell warns that the country’s finances are in deep trouble and it’s time Labor was held to account for its opportunistic vandalism:

[N]ow about half of all Australian voters receive more in government payments than they shell out in tax. Young journalists push the cause of higher welfare as though they were social workers…

Time for some home truths for reporters, editors and news ­directors: every time a left wing jour­nalist or Labor MP...

Column - End this racist war on whites

THE Dallas race murders are a warning to us: the Left’s hate campaign against whites is deadly dangerous.

In Dallas, a black racist, Micah Johnson, shot 12 people and killed five of them, all white and Latino police officers.

Before he was killed, Johnson told police negotiators he wanted to kill white people, especially white police.

His hatred is excused in many media reports as a reaction — almost understandable — to the shootings last week of...

Is Turnbull’s heart in this fight to come?

Malcolm Turnbull has officially won the election. Tom Switzer:

So what must Turnbull do?…

It’s time ... Turnbull reached out to conservatives. The common mantra is that if only the star of Q&A had embraced a “progressive” agenda he would have won a convincing majority. This is hogwash.

About a million conservatives rejected the Coalition last weekend. If Turnbull had priced carbon emissions, softened border protection, rammed gay marriage through...

Treat women as talented, not as victims

One side has quotas for women, treating them as victims. The other side does not, insisting only on talent.

And guess which side is about to produce its second female leader, to the protests of the Left?

Left wing papers and feminist commentators are raging against yesterday’s news that the UK’s second female Prime Minister will again be a Tory.

“Don’t confuse the Conservatives’ embrace of female leaders with feminism”, declared a column in the Guardian....

The great conservative cause of our time: equal rights and no racism

Jennifer Oriel on the Left’s demonisation of Pauline Hanson:

The Lebanese Muslim Association called her a hate preacher. Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane compared her with Brexit and Donald Trump — all proof of xenophobia and racism.

The leftist party line is settled; Hanson is racist and divisive. Three words come to mind. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Western civilisation has been transformed ... into a malformed neo-Marxist culture where...

Race war: protesters against police violence attack more police

This is starting to look like a race war, with the perpetrators posing as victims, which gives them a licence to be as violent as they imagine their enemies:

Hundreds of protesters were arrested across the country and 21 cops injured in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Saturday night as demonstrations continued nationwide over police violence.

Around 102 protesters were taken into custody in Saint Paul, while more than 100 people were arrested in Baton Rouge,...

Credlin gives Turnbull just the kind of advice he’s inclined to ignored

Peta Credlin is far too generous. She has confused taking responsibility for accepting blame for his own performance:

IT’S good that Malcolm Turnbull has accepted full responsibility for the election result because he could hardly blame others for a campaign that was so much about him.

As far as I can tell, Turnbull so far has accepted responsibility only for Abbott scaring people with Medicare copayments, Labor scaring people about Medicare and Health...
