Warning to Pauline Hanson – drop the Hastie attack

Posted on by

I’ve spent many years articulating my thoughts on conservatism and what a political party should do to satisfy my conservative ideals. While I was once an ordinary Menzies Liberal Party supporter, I would now be considered by many to be far right, which is why, I suppose, I support One Nation. One Nation’s suite of policies comes closest to what I want. It’s a joy to see at last many in the electorate waking up to the damage the leftist parties are doing (and have done) to the Nation. It’s even more encouraging to see the polls putting One Nation as the preferred party. On present indications, the 2026 Victorian state election and the coming federal election are One Nation’s to lose.

I say, to lose.

They’ll do that by doing what conservative groups often do – by shooting themselves in the foot and not checking the crackpots. Attacking a highly admired and respected Australian like Andrew Hastie will not turn out well. Have some of the people commenting on the video below never heard of prudence, of picking your battles?

The warning is there for Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce: drop the Hastie attack. Attacking Hastie is gold for Labor and the other leftist parties. It’s brilliant for the media, who will do all they can to torpedo any chance One Nation has.

The AWM and Historians’ Made-up Wars

Robert Hill, Quadrant, Aug 28 2026

On November 14, 2025, Rachel Perkins and Henry Reynolds came to the Australian War Memorial to launch The Australian Wars, a collection edited by Perkins, Stephen Gapps, Mina Murray and Reynolds. There is nothing remarkable about a work of military history being launched at the War Memorial; it is precisely where one might expect such a book to be presented and sold. What was remarkable was that The Australian Wars does not establish its subject as military history so much as assert it. The book presents a politically and ideologically charged reconstruction of colonial violence as warfare, yet the military characteristics necessary to sustain that classification are not merely contested: when examined, they are strikingly absent. Its launch inside the Memorial, and its inclusion within the Memorial’s bookshop, therefore, did more than promote a book: it bestowed institutional legitimacy upon the conclusion before the historical case had been made.

The issue is not whether violence occurred on the British colonial frontier in Australia — hereafter, the “British frontier”. Aboriginal people were killed, settlers were killed, massacres occurred and reprisals followed. The far larger claim is that these events amounted to wars: conflicts properly belonging to the same historical category as the wars and military operations commemorated within the Australian War Memorial. That distinction matters. Much of the alleged warfare occurred not on the frontier of an Australian nation, but on the frontiers of separate British colonies under the Crown. To place those conflicts within the Australian War Memorial therefore requires more than demonstrating colonial violence. It requires demonstrating that the historical threshold of war was actually met. That proposition deserves something stronger than repetition, moral force or modern consensus.

It requires proof. 

In my earlier article at Quadrant Online, The ‘Wars’ That Weren’t, I demonstrated that once the constituent incidents are disaggregated, the national “Frontier Wars” narrative loses its military coherence. What remains are separate episodes of killing, reprisal, policing and local resistance. Here I reach the same conclusion from the opposite direction. If these really were wars, where is the military footprint they should have left behind?

Mehreen Faruqi – suffering from white-skin envy

Senator Mehreen Faruqi comes from one of the backward sh*tholes of Asia, a country that is presently torturing one of its heroes, a man that would be a hero in any country of the West, a dashing, handsome, swash-buckling, all-round cricketer that thrilled stadiums with his cricketing feats. Regrettably, Faruqi belongs to the class of Imran Khan’s tormenters.

And she’s in Australia, abusing the people and the country that has given her a life that is light years away from the degradation most of her fellow-countrymen suffer: a salary well above the ordinary Australian battler, the means to invest and profit from her investments, and a platform from which to preach her far-left ideas and abuse the people that allowed her into their country.

Sadly, for Faruqi, despite all the benefits accrued to her by her position in Australia, she cannot change her skin which is why she constantly refers to its colour.

A Blood-Soaked Land: Part II

Robert Hill, Quadrant, Aug 21 2026

Cultural lethal violence was institutionalised in Aboriginal societies in a way that sustained warfare was not. Payback and retaliatory punishment could be socially sanctioned or obligatory, but there were no standing armies, permanent commands or institutions for sustained military campaigning. The deep record is therefore one of recurring lethal violence, not continuous war.

The same caution should apply to the frontier. Killing, reprisal and punitive expedition did not automatically become “war” merely because one participant was British. Yet modern revisionism increasingly reverses the categories: raid and reprisal between Aboriginal groups remain “feud” or “payback”, while analogous episodes involving the British are aggregated across decades and vast distances into “Frontier Wars”. In the process, scattered resistance is retrospectively endowed with a military coherence the underlying social organisation did not possess.

Demographically, the terminology changes nothing. A man killed in revenge is no less dead because his death is called payback rather than warfare. What matters is frequency, lethality and persistence.

Comparative anthropology reinforces the distinction. Lawrence Keeley, professor of anthropology at the University of Illinois at Chicago and author of the influential Oxford University Press study War Before Civilization, showed from archaeological and ethnographic evidence that recurring raids and relatively small clashes could impose heavy proportional losses on non-state populations. More revealing still are anthropologists Douglas Fry and Patrik Söderberg. In a peer-reviewed 2013 study published in Science, they systematically examined lethal aggression in 21 mobile forager societies drawn from the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample. Their conclusion cuts against claims of ubiquitous primitive warfare: most lethal incidents were homicide, interpersonal disputes or feud, while warfare constituted only a minority.

That does not weaken the argument. It defines it.

Update on CIA Moscow visit

Many analysts say that the CIA director’s visit to Moscow was to warn the psychopaths in the Kremlin not to embark on action too provocative to ignore. The Russian government’s hostility towards the democratic West has not subsided – indeed has never changed. We in the West are the eternal enemy. Most of us don’t realise that we are constantly trying to appease an enemy that will never be appeased. Now, the American intelligence community thinks the Kremlin’s hybrid war of subversion and infrastructure assaults threatens to escalate to military action in the Baltic states. The message to Moscow: don’t do it. That was the message to psychotic Putin before the Ukraine attack. It’s likely he’ll bare his bum to the second visit.

Towards the end of the video below is the warning to Europeans to prepare for possible disruption to critical parts of their infrastructure. Stock up for at least four days. We in Australia are not too far away to escape the disruption. We need to act resolutely. But our problem is that the country has been feminised, and thus weakened.

Before Settlement, a Blood-Soaked Land Part I

Robert Hill, Quadrant Aug 20 2026

Australian history has been distorted by lies, fabrication, exaggeration and selective evidence. Out of that distortion has emerged one overwhelming story: that the British arrived in 1788 and turned a peaceful continent into a land of violence, massacre and war.

The truth begins in exactly the opposite place.

The British did not enter a peaceful continent. They entered a continent occupied by peoples living in what, in the older anthropological sense, was one of the most materially primitive and socially fragmented forms of human organisation still surviving on earth: thousands of small, mobile, familial groups, without settled agriculture, cities, writing, courts, police or any authority standing above them capable of ending feud and revenge. It is difficult to conceive of a substantially simpler enduring form of human social organisation. Below the small local group lies little more than the immediate or extended family itself. But no human population could remain reproductively isolated at that level for generation after generation: sustained mating within such a narrow circle would inevitably produce repeated close-relative unions and increasing inbreeding. Survival therefore required some network of bestowal, female transfer, and contact between otherwise small and politically separate groups.

Revenge killing, payback, punitive expeditions, sorcery killing, ritual punishment, conflict over women and armed fighting between neighbouring groups were already part of the continent’s human landscape. Within the societies in which these practices operated, much of this violence was not regarded as aberrant criminality but as culturally sanctioned conduct, expected, legitimate and, in some circumstances, obligatory. I refer collectively to these recurring forms of socially embedded killing as “cultural lethal violence”. So too, in different places and circumstances, were infanticide, the abandonment or killing of elderly and incapacitated people, and other brutal responses to the material constraints of subsistence life. Practices varied between regions, and no single pattern can be attributed uniformly to every Aboriginal group. But the underlying forms of violence are well attested.

Monumental beat-up and female journalists OTT

No surprise to observe the media, led by the usual loudmouth feminists, go off their heads at the report that a group of immature lads ‘sexually assaulted’ a team of sex-workers hired to entertain them. The hysteria was embarrassing. All this shrieking, screaming and breast-beating went on while no charges had been made. No surprise that not only the lads were convicted of abusing the sex-workers but the whole population of males as well. At the head of the man-hating furore was the famously man-hating Governor-General. We’re all guilty, guilty of the original sin of being male, which is a permanent insult to the angelic female sex. Of course, we had to have the legal vultures fly in to do their nasty work. Bettina Arndt makes the right case against the embarrassing feminist tumult.

No Swans Song

– One hotel room. Every man on trial.

Bettina Arndt, Aug 26, 2026

The Swans fiasco had it all. Here was feminism’s prized foe — brash young footballers hoovering up millions for kicking a ball — caught in the mother of all own goals. An early morning hotel frolic, paid strippers, industrial quantities of drugs, and a sexual assault allegation. Christmas had come early for the culture warriors.

And boy, did they line up to tar and feather the five young men caught up in it. Captain Callum Mills set the tone early, fronting the cameras looking suitably shattered to declare that the whole sorry affair had caused him to “put the mirror up” — not just at his five teammates, mind you, but at “all men within society.”

Every bloke in the country, apparently, now owed the nation an apology for something that happened in a hotel room he’d never set foot in. “We need to do better,” Mills intoned, apparently unaware that most men were fast asleep at 5am that Monday morning, not haggling over spanking surcharges in a Melbourne hotel room.

Civil strife on the horizon

For a long time, I have been talking about the betrayal of Australians by the elites. I have warned that the ruling class is feeding rebellion. I see strife on the horizon. It turns out that I’m not the only one. David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World at King’s College London, thinks so too. There is an extremely important message in this video. It explains in detail the fears I’ve had about the future for the last ten years.
