ROWAN DEAN | "Mr Albanese’s trip is being sold as a major trade mission, with a bevy of ‘business leaders’ tagging along for the drunken prawns. But thus far, most of the trade talk appears to be based on wishful thinking and the comical fantasy of ‘green hydrogen’, ‘green…
The people of Epping have a message for Tommy Robinson: stay away. Many fear the arrival of Robinson would make it easy for politicians to cast these locals as far right – and ignore them. spectator.com.au/2025/07/the-wo…
I asked this EXACT SAME QUESTION of the Palestinian Authority official representative during my journalists visit to Ramallah in 2014 and got the EXACT SAME ANSWER, which I (alone among the ten other journos in the room who never mentioned it) wrote and talked about back in…
When Palestine is free from the river to the sea, what happens to the Jews? Listen to Palestinians answer this question. The answer is the meaning of the phrase. Whenever a western leftist tries to tell you otherwise, that leftist is lying.
According to Puck News, Colbert’s show was losing $40 million (£30 million) a year – and costing $100 million (£74 million) a year to produce. Why did it cost so much to make, and why has it taken Paramount so long to can it??? spectator.com.au/2025/07/stephe…
For more than 650 days of war in Gaza, one swathe of territory remained mostly untouched by Israeli ground manoeuvres: the dense, urban core of the central camps – Nuseirat, Deir al-Balah, Maghazi, and Bureij. spectator.com.au/2025/07/will-o…
ALAN MORAN | "Peta Credlin has speculated that Albanese would like Australia to be a neutral Switzerland of the South Pacific ‘but without the compulsory National Service’." What could go wrong? 🤔 spectator.com.au/2025/07/austra…
GRAHAM YOUNG | "If Jim Chalmers increases the tax burden on capital gains, it would mark the biggest backflip on a tax pledge since Paul Keating’s infamous ‘L.A.W. law’ income tax cuts." 👀 Chalmers is setting us up for an economic famine. spectator.com.au/2025/07/dont-e…
Why has the internet gone berserk over Coldplay? Because in a world teetering on the edge of AI doom, nuclear escalation, and heatwaves that fry eggs on sidewalks, we crave drama that is entirely pointless. spectator.com.au/2025/07/nobody…
COULD A MODERN BOB HAWKE SURVIVE TODAY? JUST IMAGINE THE HEADLINES!!! 😳 Australians rightly look back with fond nostalgia on the Prime Ministership of Bob Hawke. Here was a man who spoke to middle Australia while moving easily through the heights of elite society. He had a…
AI is just the latest technology in a sequence of inventions that have made humanity dumber. 🤕 Ozempic is no substitute for hard work at the gym, and AI is no substitute for critical thinking and creativity. spectator.com.au/2025/07/artifi…
The politics of Tasmania proves the superiority of the Crown 👑 over a politicians' republic. The specific agreements reached between parties and independents in the coming weeks will be critical to determining the path forward for Tasmania. spectator.com.au/2025/07/what-t…
The war for Ukraine’s future is being fought not just on the battlefield, but also within its democratic institutions. Today, one of those battles was lost. spectator.com.au/2025/07/ukrain…
“The one thing that binds each and every one of us is not necessarily love… it’s pain.” - Hunter Biden 🤕 Hunter, our next president, looked fit, clean and sober, if occasionally unhinged, in that garden setting. spectator.com.au/2025/07/the-ma…
Albanese’s re-elected government was already on the nose before Parliament returned, and yet one of its first acts was to engage in a deeply unpopular ‘Welcome to Country’ ceremony which the Prime Minister called ‘powerful’. Others are not so impressed. spectator.com.au/2025/07/austra…
If the Liberals had one iota of common sense or decency they would be abandoning net zero and the entire renewables grift immediately. Our nation is being destroyed in front of our eyes by the climate change cult and our democracy is crying out for an opposition that opposes
There is increasing speculation that the UK will recognise a Palestinian state imminently, possibly in coordination with France. Like so many superficially sensible and obvious ideas, that’s what it is: superficial. Worse, it’s dangerous. spectator.com.au/2025/07/why-br…
The British public, particularly the working class, are terrified of Labour's plan to criminalise Islamophobia - as defined by increasingly woke politicians. A recent poll suggests it would cost Labour a million votes. spectator.com.au/2025/07/the-lo…
It’s hard to disagree with Nigel Farage’s diagnosis that ‘Britain is lawless’. The Reform leader painted a bleak image of London in particular, as he unveiled his party’s crime crackdown in Westminster. spectator.com.au/2025/07/will-r…
