Free Republic

Free speech is largely dead in Australian. But not on Saturdays at the Melbourne freedom rallies. Vaccine mandate retrenched Nurse Mel raises her voice loud there every week.

Jordan De Goey will not play football this Sunday for Collingwood Football Club because relentless PC bullying has effected his mental health. His club has withdrawn a contract renewal offer which put him in the champion bracket of pay deals by Australian football standards. That is the free market in operation. He is perceived to have damaged his brand so he almost certainly will struggle to command the money previously offered from Collingwood who have salary cap problems. (Earlier in his career he knocked back big bucks to go to North Melbourne and stayed at Collingwood. In 2018 he kicked...

Queen Victoria would not always be considered the best symbol of genuine progress and democracy in every conversation. But a half naked statue of her in Melbourne, Australia, serves as a reminder that many of the city's forebears were far more open minded than the narrow prudish leftist mob rule which persecutes some of the most talented men here now for their heterosexuality and other reasons such as refusing to be vaccinated and being a highly successful catholic leader. A. Robert Doyle, the longest serving Mayor of Melbourne was driven from office by allegations, which he denied and which witnesses...

As bad as the government and social totalitarianism is in Australia, some people are fighting back. Jordan DeGoey works hard in Australia helping the homeless and sick kids. He is a brilliantly talented footballer. Fast. Creative. Strong. His free spirit gets him into trouble off field. He has called out the sensationalist media who will not leave him alone. He has called it what it is. Dangerous Persecution. God Bless Freedom. God Bless You, Jordy. Have Fun Mate. Play Hard. Your Best football is ahead of you. Maybe legendary 8 time premiership coach Jock McHale is the model for you.

Australia cannot survive if Australia forgets the lessons of WW2. How American help was indispensable in fighting off the Japanese. And how we had to work with peoples conquered by Japan. To paraphrase Walt Whitman: "We are large. We contain multitudes."

Australia looks to America. Trump and DeSantis are modern heroes. Are Marilyn Monroe and JFK good freedom role models for an up and coming musician?

I push boundaries. And try to bring together people who are different. I think conservatives should be proud of having some of the best ground breaking conservationists in modern history among their numbers (Teddy Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, Margaret Thatcher and Arnold Schwarzenegger) St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne is currently doing the same by hanging an image called Gaia above the space occupied by the altar and the seats of the choir. Is this legitimate free expression by the cathedral? Or should this environmentalism have been stopped at the door? What would Jesus say?

The poetic story of the taming of a herd of wild mountain horses lead by "the colt from old Regret" is an iconic piece of Australian heritage made in to the Kirk Douglas movie "The Man From Snowy River". But in the Socialist Left state of Victoria it is possible that these intelligent wild animals are being treated even worse that the human citizens. They are being slaughtered, often left to die horrible deaths alone in the bush where no one can see what is happening. Decent loving country people like Tanya Prior protested this yesterday on the steps of...

Over the past four years, I've been recording vehicles taking the I-5 Union street freeway exit too fast. This is just a quick compilation of the crashes that I've recorded.Cars taking the (I-5 South) Union street exit too fast | November 30, 2021 | Michael B |

This is one of those days when the Babylon Bee staff must shrug and wonder why they work so hard, when the real world of the left is working for you for free. A real story: The Mona Lisa was attacked by a cake-throwing eco-warrior in a bizarre stunt that thankfully failed to damage her famous smile. Videos posted on social media appear to show a young man in a wig and lipstick arriving at the Louvre in Paris in a wheelchair Sunday — then leaping up and attacking Leonardo da Vinci’s 16th-century masterpiece. The man, who was not immediately...

Roza Ganser now lives in Australia because she married an Australian man who came to her rescue when she was being stalked by a middle eastern man in a middle eastern country. She is very critical of Australia's lack of freedom.of speech and the poor treatment of men in modern societies. Scott Morrison is a supposedly conservative Prime Minister whose government has done a very poor job most of the time in addressing the concerns of men especially libertarian men. God bless Roza.

I hate and renounce the corrupt, inhumane governments of the country of my birth, Australia. Ron DeSantis was right to warn Americans about Australia last fall and Americans have subsequently shown very good judgement in lifting him to number three in the opinion polls for the American presidential election in 2024. There are a few wonderful libertarians in Australia who give me hope. There is Krystle Mitchell who served with Victoria Police for 16 years but has resigned to warn that the current socialist left lead government of Victoria has "far more control over Victoria Police than the community should...

Tucker is basically saying we are at war with Russia. Pelosi and Schiff have gone over to Kiev and promised an open check. Biden has already given billions to the Ukrainians. All the Democrats have agreed that they will only stop at victory for the Ukrainians. So as Moscow threatens to nuke London, Paris, and Berlin, Biden is pushing the US even farther into this war. This is a war that is being led by the WALKING DEAD. Pelosi and Biden don't care if the US goes up in flames because they are old and degenerate and will shortly be...

Hashtag DisneyGrooms.

Disney has found itself on the losing side of the political battle over Florida’s anti-groomer bill that Governor Ron DeSantis has now signed into law — so the pro-pedophile corporation has turned to Michelle Obama’s former communications director to be their top spokesman and help stop the bleeding. She was hired yesterday. In the last two weeks, Disney has found itself facing a growing backlash by parents — fueled by social media memes calling for a boycott of the corporation. A small campaign has turned into a nationwide movement to cancel Disney over its pro-pedophile stance. So there’s a lot...

The German city of Cologne is considering dropping a depiction of its historic Christian cathedral from the city’s logo. Some have criticised the proposed change and called for residents to speak out against the city government. The local city government has stated that it will be producing a new city logo that will not include Cologne Cathedral, well-known for its massive height of 515 feet and status as one of the largest Gothic-style churches in Europe. According to the government, the logo is changing because the 20-year old current logo is supposedly too complex, with a so-called brand analysis alleging...

Some say it's sad that the flowers wither. I say it's a good thing. Flowers are a kind of reminder, a timer for our love. By the time they fade it's a reminder it's time to say "I love you" again.

There’s all the difference in the world between Putin and Tchaikovsky In the three weeks since Vladimir Putin launched his shocking invasion of Ukraine, the West has surprised the world with the severity of the economic sanctions it’s imposed. No one has been more surprised than Putin himself, who believed the West too soft and his own nation’s oil too crucial to the global economy. How the West can further support Ukraine — while also avoiding the not-insignificant risk of a nuclear war — is a complex question. It will not be answered, however, by indulging in ugly prejudices or...

Celilo Miles, a wildlands firefighter with the Nez Perce Tribe, had all but given up on her dream of modeling when she got an Instagram message from a casting agency asking her to apply for a mysterious modeling gig. Miles had been home on the tribe’s reservation in Lapwai in North Central Idaho for the last two years. She had given up modeling in New York City, where she had lived for nearly four years. Miles had no idea that moving back home would open the door to the biggest fashion campaign of her career. Months later, after sending an...

Lyn Bennett is going to be a grandmother in a few weeks. I love her beautiful courage in appealing to a corrupt police force to investigate their political masters who are ruling a sheepish, compliant Australian people by fear. If more people were like her, Australia would still be free.
