Grace Tame autistic

Here’s another view of Grace Tame. Among other deficits, the video claims that Tame is autistic. Now, one is not named autistic for nothing. There must be something that distinguishes an autistic person from the average person who does not suffer from this state. After all, there are special schools and government strategies to support such people.

A fair question is to what extent autism affects Tame’s wild, uncontrolled behaviour, behaviour denouncing the nation that gave her the Australian of the Year Award.

Grace Tame – Overlooking sexual violence as a tool of war

Grace Tame came to the public’s attention through a case of sexual abuse. Her struggle for justice earned her the Australian of the Year award. In the video below, Chris Kenny interviews the Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel. Minister Sharren Haskel asserts that Tame’s call to globalise the Intifada implicitly excuses the barbaric 7 October attack during which sexual violence was a tool of war.

Serious questions should be asked about Tame’s state of mind.

The ABC defends racism

Hugh Marks, ABC CEO, demonstrates here that the government-funded ABC is hopelessly and unapologetically in the control of the rabid Marxist left and that a responsible, fair-dealing government would withhold funding until the ABC is reorganised to fulfil its charter to cater to all sections of the Australian community.

The future of the ABC should be at the top of the list of priorities of parties wishing to govern Australia. There is much work to be done on this.

We’ve all had bloody enough

Bravo Rowan Dean for saying what all true Australians are saying. We’ve had a gutful of abuse from all sides, especially from the white reinvented Aboriginals who, without real justification, are the pensioners of the rest of us.

*****

At the end of the video, to which Rowan Dean refers, we witness Muslim fanatic Tasmin Sammax declaring the following:

‘Colonisation is being funded, and it’s at the heart of what we refer to as the Australian settler colony. So, when we’re together here today in solidarity with Palestine, we say the colony will fall.’

Sammax who scorns Australians and doesn’t recognise the nation they built – Aboriginals had nothing to do with it – provides an excellent reason to put a stop to migration from Muslim countries.

Grace Tame – her friends should be worried

Grace Tame’s frequent manic outbursts provide a worrying record. Her shrieking ‘from Gadigal to Gaza globalise the Intifada’ in front of Muslim flags, Muslim fanatics, Marxist maggots, like Josh Lees, and sundry leftist crackpots in front of Sydney’s Town Hall should have her family and friends consulting psychology specialists. Any normal person watching would have grave concerns about her mental balance.

Liza’s Journey: Australia in the Sixties, Part 2

Mervyn Bendle, Quadrant, Dec 13 2025

The Great Chasm. As we saw in the first installment of this series, Liza was beginning her university studies as a ‘great chasm’ had opened up between the optimism and self-belief of the broad mass of Australians and the nascent Intelligentsia, which was invariably critical of its own country. It appears this split had its origins in the tendency of frontier and nation-building societies, like Australia, to value pragmatism and the ability to engage productively with the concrete here-and-now, rather than be pre-occupied with more abstract matters like culture, ideology, and theories. This nation-building was exemplified in the post-war period by massive immigration, the Education Revolution, and colossal infrastructure development, spearheaded by the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme (1949-74).

The Australian Legend. Such activity saw the resurgence of nationalism, a native intellectual tradition that found much to be valued in Australian history and culture. The key text was The Australian Legend (1958) by Russel Ward, which argued that the shared hardship that characterised Australia’s convict and mining origins and the ‘frontier experience’ of the outback bushman had generated a heritage of egalitarianism, co-operation, and mateship that had manifested itself in the Anzac tradition, and was being called upon again in the post-war period as Australians undertook the immense task of transforming their country into a thriving modern nation. This ‘origin story’ of Australian history became very influential while Liza was at university, and later became a hated target of the New Left. This radical neo-Marxist cohort was a by-product of Australia’s passage into post-industrialism, and especially of the Education Revolution, and it quickly established a stranglehold over Australia’s intellectual life and culture.

Mass Immigration. As a nation-building country, Australia benefited greatly from the turmoil in post-war Europe. The Iron Curtain had descended, condemning most East Europeans to a totalitarian fate; 8 million Germans were driven from their homes as their devastated nation was chopped in two; Italy, Greece, and of Yugoslavia were in chaos, and Britain was on the verge of bankruptcy. Massive numbers of migrants began streaming out, determined to start life afresh ‘down under’, including 170,000 Displaced Persons (or ‘refos’ as they were affectionately known). Most were assisted by the Federal Government on the basis that they agreed to stay for at least two years and work in the jobs available. Many found work with the Snowy Mountains Scheme (and incidentally  pioneered the snow-skiing industry in Australia). Others opened shops and businesses, worked in department stores, factories, heavy industry, or as labourers and farmhands.

Post-Industrialism  All of this was happening as Australia was transformed into a post-industrial society, i.e., one that has transitioned from a manufacturing-based economy to one centred on services, information processing, and knowledge work. This involves a shift from a ‘blue-collar’ to a ‘knowledge worker’ workforce, with an emphasis of theoretical knowledge over practical know-how, and consequently a greater focus on tertiary over technical education. It also involved major changes in gender roles, rights and responsibilities, birth rates, and enhanced opportunities for women in education, employment and political life.

Education Revolution. Post-industrialism made enormous demands on the education system. And this happened at a time when migrant children were adding significantly to the Baby Boomer demographic bulge.  Consequently, Government expenditure on education tripled as a proportion of GDP between 1950 and 1970. Primary and secondary enrolments increased by 11% and 45% respectively in the Sixties alone.

Australia’s foremost white Aboriginal fake

The embarrassing pure-bred white man below is Australia’s all-time champion bull-artist, working a confidence trick that would have few rivals in the history of the world. It is white Aboriginal fake, Bruce Pascoe, author of the White-Aboriginal fairytale DARK EMU. How does he get away with it? Tony Thomas has an answer below.

Bruce Pascoe’s Ever-Loyal Tribe

Tony Thomas, Quadrant, Jul 17 2025

With another fiscal year ticked over for Bruce Pascoe’s Black Duck Foods charity,  it’s time for another look at the Dark Emu cult. Why do Pascoe and his Dark Emu thesis of pre-colonial native farmers continue to thrive despite having lost all credibility?

Part I: Pascoe’s Pals at the Copyright Agency

The Black Duck charity must be Australia’s most unusual. It’s the tenant running Pascoe’s 60ha Yumburra Farm at Gipsy Point near Mallacoota. Black Duck picks up all costs for operations and spends cheerfully on improvements to Bruce’s farm. It plants, harvests and markets Bruce’s native seeds, to revive the alleged farming practices of pre-colonial Aborigines.

From inception in 2020 to June 30, 2024, the charity acquired $1.36 million from taxpayers and $1.24 million from tax-deductible donations, a total $2.6 million in free funds. By June 2024 it spent all but $220,000, including $149,000 paid in rent to Bruce, $82,000 to buy his old tractor and farmlet odds and sods, and close to $100,000 buying vehicles and their upkeep.[1]

Bruce emailed his his fans a year ago, “We urgently need your support… To be honest with you Black Duck Foods is currently living hand to mouth … we need your help to keep going.” (My emphases throughout). When the 2024-25 accounts emerge next January we’ll discover how the project’s getting on, or not getting on.

Black Duck’s $2 million-plus outlays since 2020 have generated total farm sales of only $80,000. Hardly surprising as it’s currently pricing its flour from native seeds at $180-360 per kg (depending on volume discounts and species), versus $1.30 for a kilo packet from Woollies today. Pascoe sells his yam daisy seeds for grow-it-yourself fans at 12 cents each.  Such tiny seeds run at about 30 per gram, so it’s expensive to scatter them by the handful.

Rather than proving the viability of pre-colonial farming, Bruce’s demonstration farm has proved the opposite. The lofty ambition of Bruce as a self-proclaimed Yuin, Bunurong and Tasmanian Aborigine is to convert Australians to native bread loaves and bulrush salads, while validating his Dark Emu thesis of pre-colonial farmer towns housing 1000 citizens apiece, or even, at Lake Condah, Victoria,  10,000 farm and fisher-folk. (Dark Emu, p75). Modern-day towns of that size include Broome, Katoomba and Castlemaine, thankfully all improved with sewerage, public servants, Coles for groceries and Kmarts for winter pyjamas.

The real question is how Bruce has got away with his thesis – rather, won laurels for it — for more than a decade.
