Sydney Morning Herald reports: Sonia Kruger vilified Muslim people when she called for Australia to close its borders to those of the Islamic faith during a segment on the Today show, but did not engage in racial vilification because Muslim people living in Australia are not a race, a tribunal has found. In a decision on Friday, the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal said Kruger’s “vilifying remarks” in July 2016 “amounted to a stereotypical attack on all Muslims in Australia” and had the capacity to “encourage hatred towards, or serious contempt for, Australian Muslims by ordinary members of the Australian population”.

Today’s front page of NT News: “One year ago today a two-year-old girl was raped in Tennant Creek. Despite the outrage, new figures show the annual number of abuse and neglect notifications for NT children has increased to 24,743. That equates to one every 21 minutes.” What the hell is your government doing @CPaech @dalesuzi ?! Why aren’t our babies being saved?! Do they not deserve the same kind of upbringing as you had? The same kind of upbringing the children in your family have? pic.twitter.com/XbAOrP1bnj — Jacinta Nampijinpa (@JNampijinpa) February 14, 2019

The Australian reports: Up to 300 refugees and asylum-seekers on Manus Island and Nauru have obtained recommendations from treating doctors to enable them to be transferred to Australia under the new medivac legislation. Advice to the government has warned that the paperwork for refugees and asylum-seekers in offshore facilities was prepared ahead of yesterday’s passage of the medivac bill and would be “ready for lodgment” as soon as the changes became law. Read the full story.

Daily Mail: An Afghan asylum seeker who arrived in Australia illegally by boat held a foreign university [student] hostage and subjected her to six hours of sexual assault after luring her to a hotel using a bogus job ad. Mokhtari Alimadad, 42, of Dandenong, Victoria, lured his young victim to a Melbourne motel on May 6, 2016 under the guise of offering her a job as a sales assistant on Gumtree. But the one-time Afghan soldier, who worked for the coalition forces, had no intention of employing the traveller from Lithuania. Read the full story.

Australian Labor and the Greens, together with crossbench MPs have passed new laws making it easier for Leftist doctors to order medical evacuations of illegal immigrants held in offshore processing facilities. Prime Minister Scott Morrison slammed the move in a press conference, calling it “proof positive that Bill Shorten and the Labor Party do not have the mettle, do not have what is required and do not understand what is necessary to ensure that Australia’s border protection framework and broader national security interests can be managed by the Labor Party.” Our border protection framework works. We stopped the boats, stopped…

The University of Technology Sydney has introduced “all gender” bathrooms in an effort to fulfill their commitment to being a university with a “culture of inclusion.” The all gender bathrooms can be found in ten UTS campus buildings, including the university’s main tower building. A statement from UTS reads: “Some people within our community don’t identify with traditional binary genders (male and female). Others don’t feel comfortable using a bathroom designated by gender, sometimes because they’ve had a negative experience using a single-gender bathroom due to their appearance or gender identity. “All gender bathrooms provide a space that can be…

Are we fighting the postmodernists with one hand tied behind our backs? Intellectual battles are the cognitive lifeblood of a healthy society. Life is complicated and the stakes are high, so thoughtful and passionate people have lots of arguments. Only by argument can we sort out the facts about complicated matters. Only by putting our ideas to the test of evidence and by being willing to change our minds can we make progress. Intellectual fighting is not often fun, but it is better than settling our differences by physical fighting. The advantage of being an intelligent species, Austrian philosopher Karl…

Daniel Andrews, the Premier of Victoria, has announced ‘conversion therapy’ will be against the law in the state of Victoria. In a post on Facebook, Andrews announced: “Gay, bi and trans people don’t need to be ‘cured’ – because there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them. And if you think otherwise, maybe there’s something wrong with you. “‘Conversion therapy’ destroys lives,” he went on to say. “It creates shame and stigma. And soon, it will be against the law in Victoria. This is an Australian first. And it’s the right thing to do. Because bigoted quackery has no place in this…

Behrouz Boochani, a Kurdish journalist, took out the non-fiction section, scoring $25,000, before going on to win the $100,000 Victorian Prize for Literature, which is said to be the most valued literary award in the country.

I’m not sure what the online content editor was thinking, but the “KKKennerley” clickbait headline, from Fairfax media (Australia’s biggest Leftist behemoth, outside the bloated solely tax-payer funded, state owned ABC) is ludicrous. This only serves division, and shows that the Leftist cult of modern liberalism in Australia needs a narrative of oppression, racism and bigotry, just to appear relevant. In other words, it serves their system to keep people divided, angry, confused and fear driven; convinced that their “racist white” neighbours are out to get them. What a disgusting headline from Fairfax. If deranged Leftist activists falsely accuse a…

Avi Yemini has hit the streets of Melbourne again, this time to speak with folks protesting Australia Day. Well, something like that, at least. They’re just not really sure what’s going on. “Are you against Australia Day?” Yemini asked a protester at the rally. “Yeah,” the man replied. “What’s the problem with Australia Day?” Yemini asked. “I’m not quite sure. I’m not from here. I’m not a local,” the man responded. Another protester told Yemini that the problem with celebrating Australia Day on 26 January is that, “on this day James Cook arrived in Australia.” Actually, James Cook landed at…

Police and security guards removed three men from Optus Stadium after the trio displayed a banner which read, “It’s OK to be white.” According to The West Australian, the banner was hung from the top tier for less than a minute before the men rolled it up and walked away. “It is not clear if any futher action will be taken against the men as the decision is understood to lie with Cricket Australia.” Channel Ten have praised the actions of authorities for removing the men saying, “There’s no place for this in our society.” “Why don’t they unfold that…

Unisex toilets are costing taxpayers big-time, as council after council allot taxpayer funds to renovate, upgrade, and install completely new facilities in publicly accessed areas. Some of these areas include beaches, parks, reserves and public schools. While some might wonder whether taxpayers should even be funding such projects, a more important question would be whether unisex toilets pose a risk to the general public. According to the Sunshine Coast Daily, councillor Vivien Griffin invested $450,000 of tax payer money into a toilet block at ‘Tickle Park’, “consisting of unisex and wheelchair accessible toilets, wash basins and external showers.” The location…

Newtown Fire and Rescue Station has been let off with a warning after putting up a message on their noticeboard that was said to contain “personal and political agendas”. The statement which read, “House fires are toxic. Our masculinity isn’t” was placed on the station’s noticeboard after the release of the widely criticised Gillette commercial, portraying masculinity as a negative and damaging characteristic in men. Newtown’s Fire and Rescue is well-known throughout the local and extended community for their outspokenness on particular social and political issues, oftentimes using their noticeboard to convey their message through one liners, such as “Hey…

Nine’s Today Show report Brooke Boney has said she doesn’t want to celebrate Australia Day because the arrival of the British was “the beginning of – what some people would say – the end.” “I can’t separate the 26th of January from the fact that my brothers are more likely to go to jail than school,” Boney said. “Or that my little sisters and my mum are more likely to be beaten or raped than anyone else’s sisters or mum. And that started from that day.” Whose fault is it that aboriginal men commit crime? Whites. Whose fault is it…

The problem with Australian politics is the paradox of a lack of clear choices and a context of unprecedented polarisation. If I can even be so naive as to suggest there is only one problem, or even only one main problem, optimism about political debate and futures could be greatly improved simply by the major parties clearly distinguishing themselves from each other. There’s a common frustration about both parties being nearly indistinguishable. MPs in the parties often feel this is unfair, especially those further from the centre, and their feelings are not without merit. But neither are the comparisons. For…

Most of Australian history is a neglected subject. That history didn’t end in Botany Bay, 1788, and it’s high points, although they are among them, isn’t just Gallipoli 1915, or in the numerous corrections to sporadic injustices carried out by a Social Darwinist induced indifference towards Indigenous Australians. The significance of the Bombing of Darwin on the 19th February 1942, by over 260 Imperial Japanese aircraft is unjustifiably neglected by politics, politicians, political parties, their pawns in the news media, and in their pawns in the Australian academic industrial complex. The high level of attacks from Imperial Japanese forces on…

I don’t think they were expecting that! The official Facebook page of 9 News Gold Coast created a poll today, asking their followers if they want Senator Fraser Anning “ousted from parliament.” “Senator Fraser Anning has charged taxpayers for travel to-and-from three far-right protests,” the Facebook post reads. “Do you want to see Fraser Anning ousted from parliament?” In the first four hours the poll gathered more than 47k responses, with over 38k participants voting NO. That’s over 80% of the voters. “I wonder if Channel 9 will report this tonight?” Senator Fraser Anning said on Twitter. “At the time of writing,…

Context and explanation meant absolutely nothing to the outraged leftist media complex collaborating with self-interested politicians when accusing Senator Fraser Anning of Nazi levels of racism for saying the words “final solution”. Senator Anning declared, “In the days of Menzies, immigrants arriving here were not allowed to apply for welfare and that attracted exactly the right sort of hard-working people this country needed. We should go back to that and ban all immigrants receiving welfare for the first five years after they arrive. The final solution to the immigration problem is, of course, a popular vote.” Turnbull called the reference…
