Another polar air mass is forecast to hit parts of south-east Australia in the coming week.. Parts of south-east Australia have recorded their coldest start to winter in decades and another polar air mass will arrive during the coming week, promising to bring strong winds, showers, small hail and alpine snow. In the meantime, a cold and showery weekend is already underway across southern Western Australia and the New South Wales coast, while frost has returned to the south-east inland after an icy week that brought subzero temperatures as far north as central Queensland. Adding to the wintry systems, a...

In the age of feminism men are being driven to their deaths. The rounded off Australian figures in this little movie of 6 men a day and 2 women a day lost to suicide have increased to 7 men a day and 2 women. As bad and senseless as suicide it, it is one way in a country like Australia of opposing tyranny. And that makes sense. Sometimes.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld roasted a heckler who was ejected while shouting anti-Israel slogans during a performance on Sunday in Sydney, Australia. “We have a genius, ladies and gentlemen! He’s solved the Middle East! He’s solved it! It’s the Jewish comedians, that’s who we have to get,” Seinfeld said in a mocking voice. “They’re the ones doing everything!” The man shouted “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” as he left, repeating a genocidal call for the destruction of Israel. “So, you’re really influencing everyone. We’re all on your side now, because you’ve made your point so well,...

Waltzing Matilda is Australia's unofficial national anthem. It is a song about suicide being a better option than being a prisoner of tyranny. Such is Australia. Here the musician, playing in the caldera of extinct volcano Mt Buninyong, slows it down and pauses a lot. This gives the birds in the trees around him a chance to sing back. What do those birds say?

The Australia which I Iive in is a police state. Antiwhite racism and feminist tyranny reduce good people to poverty. But prayer still gives refuge. As I write this, it is Sunday morning in the Socialiat Left governed state of Victoria. Via this post, I share Fr Justin Glyn's glorious concept of God as "the Voice Of Sheerest Silence." Praise Freedom. God Bless America. God Save Australia.

I asked Ben "Is Australia still a free country?" With a whimsical Aussie lilt, he answered, ""Freedom ....... a distant memory ...... but lets work back towards taht."

New research has confirmed that increasingly fewer Millennials and Gen Zers are having children, and there is a “scary” reason why. More than half of 18- to 34-year-olds are choosing not to have children due to financial challenges, according to newly released data from Australian research company the Red Bridge. Of the young people choosing not to have children, 35 percent are university-educated, and 33 percent are earning more than $2,000 a week. Just under half don’t own a home. Kos Samaras, director of Red Bridge, said the research is a sign of the times, and young people are financially...

A very wise libertarian politician in Melbourne, Australia, said to me once that the most dangerous thing is for all the guns to be in one set of hands. Over concentration of gun ownership in government run police forces in Australia leads to police arrogance and incompetence. 7 News reported yesterday about an incident in New South Wales: "Two police officers have been charged with assaulting a 92 year old man who suffered a broken arm and serious bruising when they tried to arrest him. It happened in January but the two constables were only stood down today. It's already...

"Superstar comedian Jerry Seinfeld is about to fly into a storm in Australia with pro-Palestine protestors threatening to disrupt his stand-up shows." reports Australia's Seven Network's tv news. "His support of what he describes as his Jewish homeland has attracted condemnation from Palestinian supporters ..... some claiming he is a genocide supporter. Melbourne's Jewish community is concerned ...... 'They are tearing to shreds Melbourne's reputation as an open and welcoming city. This insanity has to stop.' "

In a waste-conscious move, the crocodile was “prepared for a feast in the traditional manner,” police said, but not before authorities took the opportunity to give local children an impromptu “crocodile safety session,” including an “up-close look at the dangers within our waterways.” Speaking to public broadcaster ABC, Northern Territory Police Sergeant Andrew McBride said the animal was “cooked up into crocodile tail soup, he was on the barbecue, a few of the pieces were wrapped up in banana leaves and cooked underground.” “It was a rather large traditional feast and there were a few full bellies,” Sergeant McBride said.

Study reveals nearly half of US EV drivers want to return to ICE cars and nearly one-third, globally. The media is baffled.

Australia has implemented lockdowns on farms due to bird flu outbreaks. Specifically, in the state of Victoria, more than 500,000 chickens have been euthanized, and strict quarantine zones have been established to restrict the movement of birds and equipment. The highly pathogenic H7N3 strain of avian influenza has been detected on four farms, while another virus, H7N9, has been found on a fifth property over the past seven weeks. As part of sweeping biosecurity controls, at least 580,000 birds have been destroyed.

The U.S. consulate in Sydney, Australia, was attacked early Monday morning by a sledgehammer-wielding suspect who smashed windows and smeared anti-Israel graffiti on its doors. CCTV footage obtained by police shows a hooded figure with their face obscured smashing nine glass windows of the consulate office with a hammer at around 3am, ABC News reports. Two red triangles were also spray-painted over the consulate’s coat of arms on the front door – a symbol Reuters reports has been used by anti-Israel protesters.

Starting today, Coles supermarkets in Australia will implement a temporary purchase limit on eggs due to shortages linked to bird flu outbreaks. Customers will be restricted to buying two cartons each at all stores except in Western Australia. The bird flu strain has disrupted the supply chain, leading to fewer eggs being laid. It’s a challenging situation for egg suppliers, with some predicting that the cost of a carton of eggs could potentially triple within the next few weeks. While Aldi and Woolworths have also seen shortages, they do not currently plan to impose purchase limits.

The cop who saved lives by taking down an Islamist terrorist almost 10 years ago still can't be identified for legal reasons, and could go to prison if he speaks out about what happened. On December 15-16 2014, Man Horon Monis held 18 hostages in the Lindt Cafe on Martin Place in Sydney in a 16-hour standoff with police. Monis was armed with a pump shotgun, which he used to kill cafe manager Tori Johnson, and said he had a bomb in his backpack. The man who can only be referred to as Officer A, was part of the Tactical...

Ingram Spencer was a straight talking Calvinist libertarian candidate for the United Australia Party who disappeared into prison after two of his progressive opponents complained to police about what he said. He has not reappeared. In my interview with him he said: "Freedom of speech is not just another one of our freedoms. It is the freedom that all of our freedoms come from ,,,,,,, the government's role is to enable it's citizens to make decisions for themselves ....... In (the state of) Victoria, (people) are taught that questioning the government narrative is disgusting and something that only criminals do...

A young Australian nationalist with no criminal history has been “debanked” due to his political views. Melbourne man Michael Nelson, 20, received a letter from Bendigo Bank on Friday informing him that his account would be closed in 21 days, citing a clause in their terms and conditions. “As a result of a recent internal review conducted by the Bank and careful consideration, we have determined that we are unable to continue providing you with banking and financial services. This decision has been made in order to protect the Bank’s legitimate interests,” read the letter, which was unsigned. The relevant...

Rebel News reporter Avi Yemini called out Victoria Police for their handling of “protected species” pro-Palestine protestors. Mr Yemini joined Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt to discuss his treatment as a reporter covering pro-Palestine protests in Melbourne. “In what world can you go up and act like that violently in front of police?” he asked. “Not only do they not intervene, they literally tell you they witnessed a crime and they just let it happen. “There is no other place where that happens.”

To start the week, a few thoughts on the passing scene: ~So what else is going on? Oh, look... China's Chang'e-6 mission lander made a successful soft landing on the far side of the moon late Saturday and will soon begin collecting unique lunar samples. Has the moon signed up for Peking's Belt & Road Initiative yet? Give it another three months. ~Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth: Officials with the US Central Command first brought up the option of building a temporary pier off the coast of Gaza in late October, the senior administration official told CNN. The risks however...
