Guest Post: Muddy – Seeing and Looking
At 10.19 p.m. last night (20th of Sept.) on the Open Thread, twostix provided a link to footage of the recent fracas at CMFEU HQ in Melbourne, prior to the physical damage being done to the façade of the building. It was a brief, but very interesting audio-visual record. What piqued my interest, however, was…

Victoria’s ‘Finest’
The following is a compendium of incidents involving Victoria Police attempting to uphold COVID orders following the large protest in Richmond on Sept 18, 2021. This is really only portion of what is probably available so please

Guest Post: mem – “We have come too far to go back now”
I read a press statement from Daniel Andrews, Premier of Victoria, “We have come too far to go back now”(21/09/2021) which included in it a paragraph comprised of only one sentence; “We have come too far to turn back now”. My first reading of the statement was that Andrews is saying that regardless of what…

Guest Post: Vikki Campion – Council’s remit for gender diverse potholes
Not only do we have states which see themselves as walled-off fiefdoms, but now Greens-led councils that see themselves as masters of international intelligence, adept in all manner of military strategy, so much so they object to Australia’s nuclear submarines. “If nuclear submarines enter Sydney Harbour, they will create a significant risk to human life…

Guest Post: Cassie of Sydney – I have a dream
I’m frequently told by people who know me well that I’m far too pessimistic and melancholic about the state of the west and particularly about Australia. Tuesday was another depressing day, actually it has been a depressing week. First was the news last week that Gavin Newsom won the California gubernatorial recall vote, despite his…

Guest Post: Bar Beach Swimmer – Where to for Christian Porter?
Christian Porter is a bit like the “I’ll say nothing if you take me last” conservative; a strategy that he must now know does not work. In fact, all it does is prime the ABC and its tag-team – twitter and the leftist ferals on it – to commence the hunt until inevitably, the prey…

Guest Post: Twostix – May you live in interesting times
Reading twitter, the media and professional class are absolutely shitting themselves at the sight of the working class organising and thousands of strong backed men marching. It’s all sneering “disgusted” and lots of nervous revulsion about “thugs”. They instinctively know that their class’s protector: this ugly new paramilitary police force, isn’t nearly strong enough to…
