Billionaires Funding The Far Right

Populism of the Far Right variety is not some natural occurrence or trend happening at the moment. It is an artificially fed and funded campaign coming from the United States and billionaire money. Reform in the UK and its various eco system components like GB News have received around 200 million p...

LIV Golfers Took The Money

LIV golfers took the money and turned their back on the PGA Tour, make them pay to come back. All this talk about losing the stars of the game is crap. Jon Rahm and Bryson pocketed big money to be lured away from the established tours where they made their names in golf. Greg Norman was the face of....

Why Copying America Is Bad For Australia

What can we learn from the current political situation in America? Further to that, what ramifications does that potentially have for Australians? There is no denying that Australia tends to follow the United States in terms of business trends and culturally to some extent. This is no accident, of c...

Driving through a town/suburb the other day I felt sorry for the residents in that area. Dementia and mental illness is a scourge in Australia. Imagine being so easily confused that you are forced to display your national flag outside your home in order to remind yourself which country you live in.....

Change The System To Catch These Cheats

Companies are cheating the tax system in Australia and around the world. Corporations are taxed on the profits they generate. To minimise these profits companies are shifting their profits via IP charges on their balance sheets to other companies associated with them located in tax havens. This acco...

Trump Is An Economic Vandal

A whole bunch of selfish Americans elected a convicted felon and compulsive liar to the presidency for the second time. Trump is an economic vandal. This unhinged fool has started a war with the Iranians on the say so of another vile right wing political leader, Netanyahu. If there is one thing I ha...

The Monoculture Rendition Of What It Means To Be Australian

At the golf course, I all too frequently meet the monoculture rendition of what it means to be Australian. The One Nation version of it, now gaining in renewed popularity, according to some in the polls. On the tee, older blokes share a joke at the expense of anyone or anything appearing to be too d...
