Grace Tame is more than ‘difficult’

Prime Minister Albanese has given a comprehensive demonstration of how pathetic he is. A newswire report today claimed that ‘this week, the Prime Minister was forced to backtrack after calling the former Australian of the Year [Grace Tame] a “difficult” woman. He later apologised, claiming he was referring to Ms Tame’s life.’

The prime minister does not even have the gumption to stick to a mild description of Grace Tame’s character. In the face of the usual feminist squealing, he scurried away like a panicking mouse.

DEI – the gigantic screwing of men

Bettina Arndt’s article below starts off with the high-earning lollipop ladies, but its central theme is the gigantic screwing of men through DEI policy. Feminists have achieved that degree of power that they can blackmail and bully companies into accepting quotas of females merely because they are female. This is an irrational policy that weakens Australia, especially its business sector, which relies on employing the best people for the job.

If Pauline Hanson undertakes to destroy DEI policy with its weakening of Australia’s businesses, she’ll have the votes of the majority of Australians, particularly men.

The Lollipop Ladies

– The women we love to hate.

Bettina Arndt, Mar 20, 2026

It’s easy to see why Melbourne’s Swinburne University promoted Aimee Stanton as one of their “pioneers for women.” She’s blond, lively, attractive and she’s a “celebrity”, having been a contestant on Australian Survivor and a presenter on a Channel 7 television program.

Most important of all, she’s a qualified female plumber – a very rare breed indeed. No wonder Swinburne couldn’t resist including her in many media stories, including their Stories for a Brighter Tomorrow promotion, with a whole page dedicated to this Swinburne alum who “survived and thrived as a lady tradie”.

The university was obviously very happy to overlook Ms Stanton’s blemishes. Minor defects like being a self-confessed perpetrator of sexual assault.

Lidia Thorpe – a severe case of delusion

There are dozens of videos of white Aboriginal Lidia Thorpe spewing her hatred of white people and giving her nonsensical version of Australian history. And the woke class just lets it pass by without a word – particularly the super-woke, government-funded SBS. Imagine if a man stood up in parliament and referred to Aboriginals as filth. That man would be lucky to escape with his life. Below are three videos that provide a sample of Thorpe’s disturbed mind.

Pauline Hanson will garner an enormous number of votes if she undertakes to shut down the Aboriginal industry, thus releasing billions of dollars for the benefit of all Australians, and not just a small minority, mostly made up of fakes.

The Feminists Who Hate MAGA More than They Hate the Mullahs

A movement in thrall to anti-western animus

Janice Fiamengo, Mar 13, 2026

Here are all the parts of the Constitution Trump's Muslim ban violates.

Some commentators have expressed disappointment at the relative silence of feminists on the situation of Iranian women. “Isn’t feminism supposed to be about women’s liberation?” asked Iranian-born Sheila Nazarian, a Beverly Hills doctor and media personality.

Nazarian expressed shock that “with Iran, a country where women are governed by absolutist religious law that hardly treats them as human, so many Western feminists either maintain their silence or end up supporting the regime.”

Annabel Denham, columnist and senior political commentator at The Telegraph, recently expressed similar astonishment, asking “Where is the support for [Iranian women’s] glorious defiance? The Instagram carousels, the breathless declarations of ‘solidarity’ from former Harry Potter stars and pouting influencers?”

Others have noted the lack of outcry by feminist athletes, including the normally-vociferous Megan Rapinoe, over the request for asylum by members of the Iranian women’s soccer team.

Tier-ranking of Dickens’s novels

Katie Lumsden of Book and Things ranks Dickens’s novel across several tiers and categories. I pretty much agree with her final rankings except for OLIVER TWIST, which I would raise several places, and HARD TIMES, which I would drop several places. My criteria do not always align with hers.

The one category I would disregard is GENDER, which she should really name FEMINIST, because her interest is really only in how Dickens portrays women according to feminist gender theory. She really has little interest in male characters except to speak about toxic masculinity when, in her mind, it’s warranted or when they behave according to feminist notions.
