Promoting childcare is unproductive insanity
If there is anything that meets the definition of stupidity with absolute perfection, it is having the Productivity Commission write a report to promote childcare. Childcare, by its very nature, is inefficient. And a reliance on childcare actually subverts parental care, which is the most productive thing that anyone can do to raise good citizens and build a sustainable society. However, as logic is not the strongest point of most...
We’re not asking for your approval…
The new Senator on the block is the Liberal Democrats David Leyonhjelm. He believes that he is a classical libertarian. And with those words echoing in your mind, note that yesterday this ‘libertarian’ claimed that he was going to put forward yet another marriage ‘equality’ bill. The big difference between this one and the rest is that Senator Leyonhjelm has also made it clear that he is not asking for approval this time. In fact,...
Flogging a dead horse
Talk about flogging a dead horse. Literally. The Greens have introduced yet another bill into another parliament to legalise euthanasia. This is not the first time this has happened. In fact, so far as I can tell, there have been at least 14 similar bills introduced into federal, state and territory parliaments since 1995. All bar one were defeated. And the only one that was voted through was overturned quick smart. Yet Greens...
Learning that LGBT is not libertarian
What would you get if you crossed a three-year old screaming in the supermarket because they want a lolly, Stalin on a bad day and the rainbow? The answer to that is simple: the LGBT movement’s demand for homosexual marriage. It’s an emotional demand advanced by bullies. That also means it’s devoid of logic. The case for homosexual marriage is no different than that pushed by those who promote polygamy, polyamory, incest and...
The good and the bad of the budget
So it’s the day after budget. It doesn’t seem like all that much has changed. That’s because the real budget atrocities are never known on the night. It’s all the grants for all the revolutionary social groups that are the real killer. You can rest well assured that I will be sniffing these out. Inner City Legal Centre I’m looking directly at you. And that’s just the start. But there are some things to say right off the bat. First up,...
The Mother’s Day Massacre
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. And today is my birthday. This is a happy coincidence. It means, in our family, that we get to celebrate the mother and the father in the same weekend. It’s really the way it should be everywhere. Mums are important. And so are Dads. But they are much more important when viewed as a whole, not as separate parts. Families function when they are both together, working as a loving team. Yet our society...
NSW Tribunal reserves decision in Tess Corbett case
The New South Wales Civil and Administrative Decisions Tribunal held a hearing last week to determine whether Tess Corbett could appeal an order that she apologise to the homosexual activist and serial litigant, Gary Burns, and in writing in the Sydney Morning Herald. The Tribunal has reserved its decision, which means that we won’t know if the appeal can proceed for some time. This news report of the hearing highlights what is at...
Feminism’s final frontier: battlefield abortion
You can either be a bleeding heart loser, or you can live in the real world and win. That’s the reality that faces any military. Of course, any sane Australian would hope that the Australian Defence Force would choose the latter option. But, of course, any sane Australian can also see that it has not. The truth is that the Australian military is pushing the new-age feminist agenda. It’s choosing to become a bleeding heart loser....
Sharia Law or Australian Law?
We know what the law says about religious freedom in the home of Islam because the US State Department has helpfully produced a report called the 2011 Report on International Religious Freedom. And it has devoted an entire section to Saudi Arabia. And I’ve gone to the trouble of reading it. And the most important bit is this: “Freedom of religion is neither recognized nor protected under the law and is severely restricted in...
The truth trumps feel-good laws
There has been all sorts of utter stupidity uttered since the proposed amendments to the Racial Discrimination Act were outlined. First, Australia’s Attorney General, George “Own Goal” Brandis, thundered in the Senate that people have a right to be a bigot, even as he introduced amendments that aim to improve debate. I’ve often wondered what side George Brandis is on, but it increasingly appears that it’s not mine. Brandis is...
