LKY took Singapore “from Third World to First.” This account explores how growth, order and civic culture can help Australia avoid decline.

Donald Trump is the only right-wing figure in the West this century to actually roll back gains of the left, to actually win and for it to mean something. One of his more important achievements has been exposing what I call the noble loser. The conservative who prefers a moral trophy for being pure over actually winning. That was John McCain, that was Mitt Romney, and that is, it would seem, Andrew Hastie. Winning isn’t an end in itself. It’s how you secure the future for your people and the values you claim to represent. These conservatives claim to be principled, but their principles are usually about decorum, civility and process. They sacrifice the very things they entered politics to defend in order to preserve their own reputations for integrity. There is no dignity in losing. This isn’t a game where you can win a medal for fair play and sportsmanship. As Roger Stone says, “Losers don’t legislate.” Principled failure is still failure.

The processing of working holiday visas from the UK, Ireland, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and others have been drastically slowed as the government tries to juke the stats and bring down the NOM. Tony Burke, no one has an issue with au pairs and backpackers from western countries who work and travel around regional Australia. People are concerned with mass migration from the third world into ethic enclaves in our major cities.

Incredible moment in the BRS interview where he discusses his regret of failing to capture the Afghan Army sergeant who killed three Australian soldiers in an insider attack in 2012.

What’s the strategy here? If your aim is to improve sexual norms among young people, particularly young men, how does this serve that goal?

This good samaritan from Wangaratta is brilliant. Incredibly mature and articulate. Just goes to show you that on any given day on any street corner in this country there are brave and decent people.

She deserves some grace, as this is no doubt a confronting and upsetting time for her. But like Hannah Ferguson, Zali Steggall is in no position to lecture others about turning down the temperature. Even this entire interview is just an unhinged attack on Pauline Hanson, while breathlessly calling for the rhetoric to be dialled down. At one point, she even appears to look down and read from a prepared list of reasons why Hanson is to blame. If so, she went into the interview with a prepared attack on a political opponent, engaging in the very behaviour she claims to be condemning.

Is there a less self-aware political leader than Anika Wells? She says that over the last year she has noticed people, even face to face, no longer trust her or the government. She puts this down to “the power of the algorithms.” Her own travel expense scandal aside, her government and party are masters of running scare campaigns, operating dirt units, and now outright lying to the public about core election promises. She is either lying to herself or lying to you. I’d say the latter. There is a clear and concerted scare campaign underway right now to blame all manner of social ills on “algorithms”, in other words, if/then statements and loops. It’s not that there are problems. It’s that you are noticing them, you see.

Just days after Ann Widdecombe was bludgeoned to death with a hammer, the ABC aired a fantasy of mutilating Gina Rinehart “when the revolution comes.” Is this why we fund the ABC, to make violent revolutionary agitprop?

Possibly the worst take yet on the French riots. Mehreen Faruqi’s son thinks the riots are great because they expose the hypocrisy of the “far-right” for not joining protests supposedly standing up for ordinary people, and that the riots will mobilise a mass movement that could help the left win the next election?

A very measured and moving interview from Monique Ryan. She addressed the raised temperature and elevated threat level to MPs in the spirit that Helen Haines would. Clearly an exceptionally challenging time for her and her staff.

Finally, the truth from Kos. Recent migrant communities are single-issue voters, and that issue is family reunions. All the talk about “not being heard” or “not being spoken to properly” is peripheral. The real question is whether you will keep allowing mass migration. Kos references his Greek family background. From 1949 to the 1980s, only about 250,000 Greeks moved to Australia. Of that a third came through the assisted migration program. The rest came through family reunion and related pathways. That means today, of the masses of new residents, every student who gets PR, every “skilled visa” we hand out, puts a whole family in the pipeline.

These proposed laws are an even greater overreach than the hate laws. Those let the minister ban a group without a prior criminal conviction and expressly exclude procedural fairness. “Reasonable grounds” is the standard but that’s essentially superfluous as the minister makes that assessment. These laws let the minister expand what counts as harm and what platforms must police without passing a new Act of Parliament. Even today’s targets are nebulous. How do you decides what promotes “hostile attitudes towards women or gender equality”, or counts as bullying? Could refusing to use someone’s pronouns qualify? Pre Elon Twitter banned you for misgendering. And beyond interpreting those categories, the minister can add entirely new ones. Would you sign a contract that lets the other party add new terms after you’ve signed? It’s not just a huge power grab. It’s extremely bad governance. The government is increasingly leaning into these “when we say so” laws and handing more coercive and investigative powers to unelected bodies like the eSafety Commissioner. It’s the same with the proposed EPA. The more power these quangos have, the more entrenched big government becomes. A future conservative government could win on free speech bit inherit an eSafety Commissioner who continues interpreting “harm” through a progressive lens. Governments change, but the the bureaucracy, its powers and its priorities don’t automatically change with them. Ultimately the question is, do you want to give this minister and the current eSafety Commissioner these power?

You have to understand chain migration in the context of Labor/Labour-style politics. “Community leaders” who help facilitate migration and settlement build loyalties that last generations. But the moment you try to limit migration, as Labour is now attempting, you get the rise of the likes of the Gaza independents who are explicitly sectarian. Why do you think Labour-adjacent outlets like The News Agents and Novara Media are suddenly giving this so topic so much of a run?

Third Worldist conspiracy theory podcaster Antoinette Lattouf doing the “it’s not happening, but if it was it’s a good thing” on left-wing terrorism. Apparently left-wing terrorism is distinct from right-wing terrorism in that it’s justified?? This, in a segment that strongly implies the AFP are working on behalf of the Trump administration to create a false narrative of rising left-wing extremism.

Moderate Liberal and former minister Amanda Vanstone says Pauline Hanson “doesn’t get who we are”, that “unless you have Indigenous blood in you” you are a migrant, and that migration is “our lifeblood.” She advises the Liberals to go hard attacking One Nation on their views on multiculturalism. Worth noting that, like fellow moderate George Brandis, Vanstone was not known for electoral campaigning or fundraising. She was a factional moderate, not someone whose authority came from winning marginal seats or raising money for campaigns.

Gina Rinehart tells Sky News our defence personnel need to be paid more and our veterans looked after. Weird, people keep telling me she wants everyone paid less. If they got that wrong, what else have they got wrong?

“This is very urgent business ladies and gentlemen, I beseech you. Resist it while you still can, and before the right to complain is taken away from you, which will be the next thing.” Many know this famous Christopher Hitchens clip but few know the full argument he is making. I will break it down here. 🧵

“He believes in foreign globalists!” Are we really doing this, guys? Are we going to pretend that globalists don’t exist? Globalists are simply people who want to shift power away from nation-states and towards international institutions. Many will openly and proudly tell you as much. For example, the ABC and Patricia Karvelas’ political instincts are clearly on the side of multiculturalism, high immigration, and international frameworks and agreements. In other words, they’re globalists. Shock, horror. The nationalists oppose the globalists.
