Our chattering classes will be delighted at the strategic direction for social change under the Rudd Labor government. The first phase of their agenda is to send us on a guilt trip for ‘invading’ the country in 1770. This will be followed by a surreptitious campaign to change our Australian flag as they move towards their ultimate objective of establishing an Australian republic. (more…)

Republician chatter back on the agenda!
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008Should the Union Jack be removed from our Australian Flag?
Thursday, January 31st, 2008The Australian flag is our most important national symbol. The Union Jack is representative of British settlement and removing it from the flag will not change this fact. Indeed, the original inhabitants of the land were very fortunate it wasn’t settled by nations run by tyrannical dictators or radical Mullahs. They would have much to be sorry about if it had been!

Federal Election Washup
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007The election result was a decisive win for Labor. Workchoices was the major point of difference between the two parties with the issue being driven by the union movement. The stakes for the unions were high and they had no hesitation in pouring $30 million of members’ funds into the campaign. Small business owners will have much to worry about as unions will expect a high return on their investment in Labor’s victory. (more…)
Workchoices or No Choices!
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007When contesting the election against Paul Keating in 1996, then Oppostion Leader, John Howard stated he would like Australians to feel relaxed and comfortable. At that time Australia was in debt to the tune of $80 billion, our waterfront was one of the most inefficient in the world, inflation was rampant and unemployment was rife. Keating was not able to break this downward spiral because union bosses would not allow him to introduce the necessary workplace reforms to increase productivity. (more…)
Ideologues face defeat in politically correct history wars . . .
Thursday, May 24th, 2007The rejection of the black armband view of our history by students is no surprise to the silent majority of Australians. The Executive Officer of the History Teachers Association of NSW , Louise Zarmati, advised a Senate Committee into the academic standards of school education in Sydney last week that students are not prepared to wear the guilt associated with the teaching of ‘progressive’ indigenous history.

Should Australia be in Afghanistan?
Friday, April 13th, 2007Australia has two rather stark choices in the war against terrorism. We can continue to support America, the only nation with the will and the resources to fight global terrorism, or we can go it alone and hope the fanatical Islamic Jihadists will leave us alone. (more…)
Hard Labor for NSW after Workchoices con . . .
Friday, April 6th, 2007The introduction of workchoices into the NSW campaign was a clever ploy by Labor to dupe voters. It worked. No doubt the spin doctors will feel pleased with themselves as they recline in plush leather chairs to admire the sweeping harbour views from their taxpayer funded offices for another four year term.

We’re heading in the right direction – but there’s more to be done!!
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007This election is not about Labor’s record after 12 years in office. If it was they would be thrown out.
Despite a GST windfall, a property boom and record gambling taxes NSW is teetering on the edge of recession. So where has the money gone? How could they have squandered such an opportunity? (more…)
David Hicks – Hero or Traitor?
Friday, March 16th, 2007Australian soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are entitled to feel a sense of betrayal over the hero worship being afforded to terror suspect, David Hicks. (more…)
Hang about – what about a hung Parliament?
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007We should brace ourselves for the possibility of minority government after the election on March 24. Given that we now have fixed four year terms in NSW a ‘hung’ Parliament would be the worst possible outcome for the State. It matters not which major political party forms minority government, Labor or Liberal, the result will be the same. Political chaos for the next four years! (more…)
