Although it’s a sour admission, biting satire used to be the weapon of the left. Now being so thoroughly indoctrinated, the left no longer has the intellectual breadth and wit for it. The ABC’s pathetic attempts at satire are a boring undergraduate rehash of the 1960s product. From the fortresses of their occupation of Western Society, they spout their meaningless slogans and doctrines.
No, keen, clever satire is now being produced by the accursed ‘far right’. (NB. Anyone right of the centre is now ‘far right’). Lisa Jane Spencer’s John-Clarke-like skits are as powerful as any satire now appearing. The current prize for satire, however, must go to those producing videos for Pauline Hanson. The latest is a beauty: ‘Dark Forces – Please Explain.’
