Feminist ideology on fertility is a fail. By Belle de Jour.

For reference, I’m a Gen Z girl living in a large coastal city in the United States. Most of the other girls my age that I know are not even in committed relationships, let alone married with a kid like me. A majority of them seem to languish in the depths of the dreaded ‘situationship’.

The wounds seem to be self-inflicted, though. Only about 45% of women in the USA aged 18 to 34 say that they want children, whereas just less than two-thirds of men that age do. Around 30% of Gen Z women specifically don’t want kids. Of the Gen Z girls that I know, those who do say they want kids are really vague about when they want that to happen. …

f you live on a farm, kids are cheap labor, so you have as many of them as you can. When a nation industrializes, people move to cities and live in apartments and work in factories. Children become expensive luxuries, so people naturally have fewer of them.

I think that he is broadly correct, but the picture is a bit more nuanced. There are certainly cultural factors at play. …

Dr. Henderson writes about “Girlboss Gatekeeping“, where encouraging other women to forgo having children and focus on their careers may be an evolutionary strategy to keep the number of children low so that there are more resources available for one’s own.

I can relate to this since when I was in college, everyone talked about what they wanted their careers to be, but it seemed almost verboten to mention starting a family. … Women who identify as conservative are more likely to desire or have children. …

I’ve come to realize that so many of the things that we were told or that I used to believe ended up being untrue. That people are born as a “blank slate”. That men and women are the same. That human beings, and by extension, societies are perfectible. That variation in outcomes must be the result of oppression.

If you had talked to me in college, I would have said that I had no interest in marriage or a family. I was all about my career. Things change, though. I met a guy, fell in love, got married, and soon enough, had a baby. I thought that dropping out of my PhD program would have felt more traumatic, but I actually didn’t stress about it all that much. I guess technically I’m on sabbatical, and I could go back eventually, but I probably won’t. I’ve come to realize that lack of ambition doesn’t make me a bad person. I simply have different priorities now. The fact that I’ll never have the word “doctor” in front of my name doesn’t sting that much. …

A brief return to the “girlboss gatekeeping” — I’m really glad my boss is a man. Indeed, I work in STEM, and the majority of people that I work with and in my field in general are men. Of course, things tend to get much shittier when women take them over.

A final thought on fertility has to do with the fact that for a significant portion of young women, it would be embarrassing to be a stay-at-home mom. Choosing motherhood many times means not choosing status. At least not in the way that current society defines it. If you’re wealthy and don’t have to work, then having lots of kids can be a flex, but most people aren’t in that situation. I don’t think that having working parents is bad for kids. In addition to my father working full time, my mother worked a full-time job throughout most of my childhood. It’s probably more important that kids grow up in an intact family with both a mother and a father in the household.

What has mass immigration ever done for us? By Jonatan Pallesen.

– “The raping?”

“What?”

– “The raping”

“Oh yeah yeah. They do rape an awful lot that’s true yes.”

– “And the welfare costs”

– “Oh yes the welfare costs, Reg. The unemployment benefits alone.”

“Ok, I will grant you the raping, and the welfare costs, are two bad things mass immigration have done for us.”

– “And the terrorism”

“Oh yeah obviously the terrorism. I mean the terrorism goes without saying. But apart from the raping, the welfare costs, and the terrorism…”

– “Violent crime”

– “Honor killings”

– “Car bombings

“Yeah, you are all right, fair enough.”

– “Burqas”

– [nodding among the group] “Yeah, that is something we’d really not miss if the immigrants left.”

– “Political support for bad economic policies.”

– “And it’s less safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.”

Ok, but apart from the raping, the welfare costs, the terrorism, the violent crime, the honor killings, the car bombings, the burqas, political support for bad economic policies and the unsafe streets, what bad has mass immigration ever done for us?

 

The taboo on studying race and intelligence drives hatred against white people. By Stefan Molyneux.

The taboo on studying race and intelligence is to inflame ethnic tensions and and drive hatred against white people for evolutionary differences that are no one’s fault at all.

If everyone’s the same, then different racial outcomes is evidence of racism. But if people are different, then the left is barking mad and dangerously wrecking society.

Comments:

The leftist order can’t coexist with the reality that there are biological differences between both races and individuals. It would force them to accept that there is a scientific basis for eugenics, and thus their secular devil, Hitler, wasn’t 100% wrong about everything. …

In the social sciences, there are probably no studies more consistent and repeatable than those that measure IQ by race. …

Mankinds gene pool is a vast tapestry with unique contrasts and capabilites (intelliectual and emotional) granted for each ethnic group and race it should be celebrated this diversity is great insurance policy for mankinds survival against a mass extinction event. …

Support for market economics is rare; immigration from the third world smothers it. By Hunter Ash.

In humanity’s long past, socialism and sharing within the tribe was the norm. We are genetically socialist. Stagnation ruled until the agricultural revolution, which changed everything. With agriculture, natural selection favored societies with private property and the great motivation it provides to be industrious and inventive. We learned that the inequalities produced by private property and markets made us all wealthier and better off, and most of us learned to be relatively relaxed about it. In the last couple of centuries, we even broke through the Malthusian limit (at least for now).

But, like many other human traits, the genetic and cultural predisposition towards private property and market economics is not evenly distributed. It is really only strong among whites (and even then, apparently only half the population). It is patchy or almost non-existent elsewhere. So, what happens when mass immigration is inflicted on white societies, duh?

Many economists have a weird blindness to this: immigrants don’t just come and participate in our system. They also change the system.

All major immigrant groups favor more socialist policies than White Americans. Whatever marginal economic gains citizens enjoy from immigration would be totally dwarfed by the cost of enacting the policies immigrants say they support (on average).

Even when a particular group of first-gen immigrants is very anti-communist, like Cubans or Vietnamese, we see the second gen revert to socialism.

Support for market economies is extremely rare globally. If we lose power here, it’s a catastrophe.

Gorm the Young:

The reason the migrant generation ‘aren’t socialist’ it’s because they experienced it directly … their baseline genetics will always favor it because they aren’t W.E.I.R.D… hence the quick and immediate reversion to baseline.

Genetic distance from “Heritage Americans” predicts voting patterns. By Sovereign Brah.

Note “Black”, in the upper right corner

 

Funny thing about this graph –– America’s founders said we should accept immigrants almost exclusively from within the yellow box.

They believed Northwestern Europeans (from protestant cultural backgrounds, specifically) were basically the only immigrants capable of full assimilation into America’s culture, values, and founding principles.

They believed immigrants from other countries were simply too culturally distant for proper assimilation –– they wouldn’t fully adopt America’s founding principles, values, and traditions.

The founders heavily warned against this, saying it could destabilize the country and trigger the collapse of the republic –– a lesson they learned from Rome. We should’ve listened.

Most at Australian Universities using ChatGPT to cheat their way to a degree. By Ros Thomas in The Australian.

Example:

Picture this: it’s final exam week at Macquarie University in Sydney and Hayden, 24, is less than a month away from graduating with a bachelor’s degree in social sciences. It has cost him more than $45,000 and this is his final push to the finish line; his assessments are all conducted online, with students given 48 hours to turn in their answers.

It’s 7.40am, 20 minutes before the exam is due to begin, and Hayden is still asleep. Has he slept through his alarm, exhausted from late-night cramming? Nope. The only work he’s done for this exam is researching which AI tool will cheat him the best marks.

In a minute or two, Hayden will roll out of bed, slap some water on his face and fire up his laptop. At 8am he’ll feed his exam paper into ChatGPT. By 8.06am it will have gifted him 30 correct answers. Hayden knows a perfect score might trip the university’s AI detectors, so he’ll deliberately mangle a couple of responses to get him 94 per cent. Then he’ll wait three hours to mimic a genuine exam effort, before firing his A-plus paper back to his examiner.

Welcome to the death of higher education.

Hayden has now graduated with a High ­Distinction. How much of his final year studies did he outsource to AI? “All of it,” he says without skipping a beat. “It’s completely insane. In my smaller units, AI was covering 100 per cent of my coursework and 100 per cent of my exams. And that’s not me outing myself, that’s me ­outing everyone. You’ve got like, five per cent of students still putting in hours and hours of effort, and 95 per cent of us who are crawling out of bed ten minutes before exams and winging it with AI.

“In my whole degree, I never had an in-person exam. … Now you can get ChatGPT to do your entire degree. In fact, you’d be stupid not to use AI if you want to do well.” …

Don’t you feel guilty?

“Everyone was getting through, so the guilt just vanished. It’s a free-for-all. Me and my friends can’t believe how blatant the cheating is. We know some random person walking down the street will know more about our degrees than we do.” …

Over and over I’ve heard the same defence: “It’s not cheating if everyone’s doing it.” …

In person exams are the obvious solution. No way!

Hayden is struck by another recollection and laughs: “You know, one semester a lecturer decided he was gonna make everyone turn up in person for the exam. There was complete panic because we all knew we couldn’t cheat and our marks would be a disaster. It scared us for weeks – so much so, the head lecturer was flooded with written excuses: ‘Sorry, but I can’t be at uni that day’ or ‘Sorry, I have family commitments’ or transport issues or some other random reason they couldn’t show up. Eventually he rolled over and announced, ‘OK, so we’re going to have to make that exam online.’ It was the biggest relief of my life.” …

How many students are cheating?

Young Australians are now cheating their way through ­university at a rate that’s making a mockery of our sandstone institutions. No longer is the ­accumulation of knowledge a rewarding ­process of brainwork, error and painstaking self-correction. AI is giving students top grades for zero intellectual work.

I’ve interviewed six senior academics in three states, including heads of school in media and communications, physics, mathematics, statistics and chemistry. All but one put student fraud at more than 80 per cent.

And yet each of the students I spoke to for this story scoffed at that figure, saying the rate of “full-bore” cheating in their units is more like 95 per cent. …

But calculators:

AI devotees resort to the standard Silicon Valley defence on ethics: Remember the furore over calculators? That amounted to nothing, right? Calculators didn’t destroy maths. Calculators did the grunt work and freed up students to do more complex thinking. …

These are glib analogies, because ChatGPT doesn’t extend cognition. It’s a parasite that attaches itself to a vulnerable learning ecosystem like a university then starves the host, usurping academics, teaching and learning. …

The end for universities and most academics:

Among faculty staff, the overriding mood is dismay. Lecturers and tutors stare at essays bloated with mechanical phrasing and facile logic that reads nothing like typical student rhetoric. ….

Teaching has now devolved into absurdism: academics are well aware they’re grading chatbots, …

Dr ­Jonathan Albright … at the University of Western Australia, believes most universities are not prepared for the scale of AI’s takeover of education. … “AI is gunning for academics’ jobs,” he says. “If universities don’t confront the threat of AI, you will walk onto a campus in ten years’ time and they’ll be deserted. Even now, I have tutorials where only one student shows up. In courses without strict participation policies, I’m seeing lecture attendance drop to seven per cent. So what are the other 93 per cent doing? My lectures are not 6pm on a Friday night. They’re 10am on a Tuesday. Why aren’t they in class? I’ll tell you why. You don’t need to show up if AI is doing your assessments for you. Watch this space: it’s going to get ugly.” …

He sighs. “Look, universities are trying to live with the threat of AI, but it’s going to eat them alive.”

Can’t think, can’t write, can’t create:

“AI’s goal is to replace the human brain, to replace the cognitive participation that active learning requires. Once it’s culturally ­acceptable to outsource learning to a chatbot, we’ll have graduates who can produce content but can’t validate a claim or formulate an argument, who won’t ever experience failure or have to learn how to rewrite or revise or reflect. 

“Some disciplines are more vulnerable than others. The social sciences and humanities will be hit hard by this disruption. They need to be first to push back and adapt because humanities degrees will be devalued to the point that students will opt out of them completely. And engineering will have its own crisis, because AI will anaesthetise students’ ability to think ­critically and test equations. No way would I trust a bridge built by engineers who outsourced their degree to AI.” …

Dependence on AI has created students who can’t think, can’t write, can’t create. Some in ­academia believe Gen Z are in danger of ­becoming post-literate. …

I interview Julia, a business school lecturer who has spent 22 years in academia at five universities… “Undergrads are arriving straight from high school who are unable to add up double digits on paper. Who can’t read a book. Whose attention spans have been wiped out by an adolescence spent on screens. They can’t make eye contact. They can’t have any kind of verbal exchange with me.”

“I’m lucky if I get 20 per cent attention in class — 80 per cent are face down on their phones doing I don’t know what. Some will read to me from their laptops the ChatGPT answer to what I’ve just asked. It’s absurd. AI is producing the lowest denominator of undergrad intellect in university history, and ChatGPT — unchecked, unregulated, unmonitored — continues to churn out worthless degrees.” …

Cheats don’t admits it, because our system was built on high trust:

Helen, 61, a postgraduate nursing lecturer at a prominent South Australian university, is refusing to surrender to ChatGPT. “The students I flag for full-blown cheating come in kicking and screaming, furious at being caught,” she says. “No shame. No guilt. At least two-thirds of them will continue to vehemently deny their cheating even when we can see their work is 100 per cent faked. And let’s not forget we’re talking about Honours and Masters students — the cream of the crop. They’ve worked out that if they squeal loudly enough, the university will shy away from failing them. The executive doesn’t want stoushes causing nasty publicity”.

“So do you fail students for cheating?” I ask.

“I’m trying. I call the worst offenders into my office. They don’t say sorry or ask for a ­second chance. They stare me down and say, ‘How dare you accuse me of lying?’ Some bring their parents with them to intimidate me, ­parents who demand I overturn the fail grade because ‘we’re footing the bill for this degree’. And I say, ‘No. Your daughter is sitting an exam to see if she qualifies for this degree and she still has to earn it.’”

Read it all.

Thinking is so 20th century. Will AI be the last gift from the people who invented the modern world, to the new dumbed down generations who didn’t and now cannot?

A scarcity of female leaders? Don’t buy the progressive myth. By Adam Creighton in The Australian.

Last week, following the release of this year’s Australia Day Honours list, a prominent Australian business woman declared we had “failed” as a society because the share of women receiving government gongs had plunged to “just 27 per cent”.

It was a staggering criticism given women now occupy a large swath of the nation’s top corporate and political positions. …

Is it too much to ask that we appoint the best people to these positions, male or female? Of course all these women are highly competent and intelligent public servants, but why draw attention to their sex, especially in 2026? …

There is no question men still lead most of the top public and private sector organisations in aggregate in Australia, but the direction and rate of change are startling. What message does this send to young men who, surveys show, are becoming increasingly extreme in their politics? …

Given the controversy over government censorship, was it wise to award eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant a public service medal for censorship on top of her $816,000 pay package? …

 

Albanese pays her $816k per year to censor us

 

My journalist friend Helen Andrews caused quite a stir in October on the publication of her essay, The Great Feminisation, which warned that the new-found dominance of women in law, medicine, politics and (in a few years) the corporate world would change society for the worse. Andrews argued that “female group dynamics (favoured) consensus and co-operation”, which wasn’t at all conductive to risk-taking and leadership. “In short, men wage conflict openly while women covertly undermine or ostracise their enemies.”

“If wokeness really is the result of the Great Feminisation,” she argued, “then the eruption of insanity in 2020 was just a small taste of what the future holds. Imagine what will happen as the remaining men age out of these society-shaping professions and the younger, more feminised generations take full control.”

I’m not sure about this thesis, but it’s surely time to stop the routine bleating about discrimination against women when, evidently and increasingly, it is the opposite. …

Some people argue it’s only right that men be discriminated against systematically given the centuries of obvious sexism and discrimination women have endured. But it’s hard to see how this helps the “social cohesion” Anthony Albanese says his government is so keen to foster.

Leftists Put Hits Out On Nick Shirley After He Exposed Massive Somali Fraud In Minnesota. By Steve Watson at modernity news.

Nick Shirley, the YouTuber who went viral for exposing alleged Somali-run daycare fraud in Minnesota, has revealed that leftists have put out hits on his life.

In a shocking update, Shirley’s security team informed him he was the “number one man” targeted, forcing him to switch hotels amid fears for his and his family’s safety. This comes after his investigative video highlighted millions in taxpayer funds vanishing into ghost daycares with no children in sight.

Shirley detailed the terrifying backlash in a recent appearance, saying people have sent him photos of bodies in ditches with captions like “that’s going to be you” and openly telling him to “k**l yourself.” …

This escalation follows previous threats where Shirley was warned he’d be “Kirked,” a chilling reference to the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. As we previously reported, Shirley faced doxxing, family harassment, and physical confrontations after his initial video. …

 

 

The wider scandal has prompted federal action. Federal agents are probing fraud allegations targeting Somali child care providers in Minnesota, with the Trump administration dispatching officers amid concerns over misappropriated funds exceeding $100 million. …

Shirley has since hired 24/7 security, noting in interviews that his life has changed dramatically. “Your house gets doxxed, people try hacking your social media accounts, people start calling your family members, and you have to go everywhere with 24/7 security,” he told Fox News.

He lamented the hatred pouring in despite performing a “giant public service” by exposing the fraud.

The left increasingly runs on fraud, cheating, and dispersing money raised by taxation to its supporters. Of course they are going to use violence to protect their criminal enterprises. The West desperately needs the left to clean house, to rid itself of its fraudsters, criminals, and violence-prone radical activists. We need it to move back to honest centrism and good government, so it’s not an existential risk to the rest of us when the left gains power.

The West’s forbidden truth: Ethnic cleansing is now official policy. By Auron MacIntyre at Blaze Media.

When a dictator in a distant, war-torn nation announces a plan to shrink an ethnic group inside his borders, the Western world erupts. Anchors denounce it. Newspapers detail the plight of the targeted people. Sanctions follow. Diplomats whisper about regime change. The moral verdict arrives quickly, and it arrives correctly: ethnic cleansing.

Yet Western leaders now make a parallel declaration in a cleaner suit. Their countries, they insist, have grown “too white.” The white population must fall. The electorate must change. No denunciations follow. No sanctions arrive. Corporate press treats the project as enlightened policy. A global consensus that once claimed to oppose ethnic cleansing now tolerates it — provided the target is white people in Western nations.

French writer Renaud Camus gave us the “Great Replacement.” For years, polite society treated the phrase as radioactive. Say it on television and you became a pariah. Post it online and platforms erased you. That taboo held only as long as people could be bullied into denying what they could see.

The concept’s explanatory power proved stronger than the gatekeepers. Major conservative outlets now discuss replacement openly. YouTube will still attach warnings to videos that mention it, yet the subject refuses to disappear because the policy keeps showing up in schools, boardrooms, and border statistics. …

What a great illustration:

 

Project Veritas recorded a State Department official admitting that replacement migration functions as a political strategy meant to secure electoral victory. That admission matters less than the broader point: Public and private rhetoric have normalized the idea that a party may change the electorate to entrench itself. …

A ruling class that imports a friendlier electorate to escape judgment for its failures announces contempt for the people it claims to serve. …

Diversity, equity, inclusion, decolonization — the euphemisms multiply, but the goal stays constant. Even the Great Replacement argument, while useful, still softens what the policy does. When a party, an institution, or a government targets a group for reduction, removal, or displacement, the correct term is not “diversification.” It’s ethnic cleansing.

This process does not arise from a neutral demographic ebb. Politicians announce it. Activists demand it. Bureaucrats implement it. Corporate managers enforce it. Then they threaten anyone who objects with professional ruin. Fear keeps the system humming, and euphemism keeps the conscience quiet.

Well said.

Is this the denouement of the US 2020 election? By Roger Kimball in The Spectator.

At the end of January, the FBI raided an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, and hoovered up:

a. All physical ballots from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County: including, but not limited to: absentee ballots to include envelopes; advanced voting ballots, provisional ballots; in-person election day ballots; emergency ballots; damaged or destroyed ballots; duplicated ballots; or any other ballot that was used to cast a vote;

b. All tabulator tapes for every voting machine used in Fulton County; including, but not limited to zero tapes, opening tapes, closing tapes and any other tabulator tape printed from a voting machine utilized during the 2020 General Election in Fulton County

Is the truth coming out?

Old and busted: the 2020 election was the “most secure in American history” and Joe Biden clearly won. If you say otherwise we get to play the theme song from The Twilight Zone on loudspeaker and call you an “election denier.”

New and shiny: the 2020 election was rife with — what’s that nice word? — ah, yes, “irregularities,” which, when you turn on the lights, amounted to widespread, election-changing fraud.

“Fraud.” That seems to be the word of the season. It made its smashing debut in Minneapolis with all those childless childcare “learing centers” run by Somalis. And here we are in Act II with the potential exposure of election fraud in Georgia (next up: election fraud in Pennsylvania).

In the 2020 election, Donald Trump was ahead in Georgia by some 100,000 votes until, vesto-presto, there were mysterious leaks with no water and, by George, Biden pulled ahead by some 11,000 votes. We all remember the allegations of election workers raising the alarm over the low count for Biden or apparently doing their utmost to increase his vote share, as well as the accounts of curiously pristine mail-in ballots.

The FBI has a lot of sifting and sorting to accomplish in the weeks and months ahead. An ongoing court case claims that 150,000 mail-in ballots in Fulton County were suspicious (my cautious word for “fake”) because they weren’t creased and didn’t look like they were marked by hand. Officially, Sleepy Joe was the first Democrat to gain more than 70 percent of the vote in Fulton since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944. The FBI analysis of mail-in ballots might show him to be as popular in Fulton as Castro was in Cuba or Stalin was in the Soviet Union. …

Meanwhile, the Democrats have not been idle. New York Representative Dan Goldman has filed an amendment to prevent the Trump administration from investigating election records, ballot boxes, and voting machines across the country.

Looking ahead:

I suspect that, when the dust settles, it will be shown that Trump did, in fact, win the 2020 election. …

We are rapidly approaching the denouement of this drama. …

A few days ago, the news from Fulton County was everywhere, but there was a certain nervousness or hesitation in the air. Hadn’t we already been here, done that? But then the floodgates started to open.

Why have Georgia election officials filed a court motion to take back the ballots seized by the FBI? No one wants to be called a “conspiracy theorist” or “election denier.”

No one wants to be sued for libel, as was Rudy Giuliani. He raised questions about the election results in Georgia. He named names. That cost him $140-something million. I wonder whether that judgment will be revisited now? …

The mask is being ripped off as I write. A Gestalt shift in The Narrative is underway. …

What happened in Georgia is just one falling domino in the giant reversal that is taking place. A lot of reputedly “impossible” things are in the process of being revealed.

Reminder: “Labour wanted mass immigration to make UK more multicultural, says former adviser,” by Tom Whitehead in 2009:

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and “rub the Right’s nose in diversity”, according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.

He said Labour’s relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to “open up the UK to mass migration” but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its “core working class vote”. …

The number of white, British-born citizens in the UK is at 76% and dropping by about 1% per year. Before 2050 they will make up less than half the population.

The Liberal Party is being seduced by the uniparty — should it say “yes” or “no”? By Peta Credlin in The Australian.

Perhaps the real problem for the Liberals all along has been less that they have been insufficiently left wing, or insufficiently right wing, but that they’ve been nothing much at all.

The last time the Coalition won big, in 2013 with a 46 per cent primary vote under Tony Abbott, the LNP was a clear contrast to a Labor government that had lost control of our borders, lost control of the budget, and was climate obsessed. Not only did Abbott, an unapologetic conservative, have a laser focus on the problems that even Labor partisans had to admit were being mishandled, but he had a clear way forward: scrapping the mining and carbon taxes to revitalise the economy; Operation Sovereign Borders to stop the boats; and budget rules such as no new spending without cuts to existing spending to restore fiscal discipline.

The Liberals’ subsequent malaise, under Malcolm Turnbull, was that a centre-right party was being led from the centre-left; and then, under Scott Morrison, that the party of smaller government and greater freedom presided over health authoritarianism and pandemic spending on an unprecedented scale. And Morrison’s embrace of net zero removed another key point of difference.

At last year’s election, despite being well placed six months out, Peter Dutton (and his team) failed to fight for his energy policy, or to campaign against Labor’s unrealised capital gains wealth tax, or even to drive home the collapse in living standards that Labor’s policies had made worse.

For a decade now, the Coalition has consistently let down its voters, who are typically economically liberal and socially conservative, so it’s no wonder they’re angry. And as for this idea that the Liberals have to “return to the centre”, there’s nothing that the Liberals have done over the past decade that’s remotely “right wing”: the AUKUS nuclear submarines decision was promptly me-too-ed by Labor; and even the belated repudiation of net zero reflects a ­general move against energy self-harm even in Europe.

 

The Liberal Party kicked out Pauline Hanson in 1996 because she called for welfare to be handed out on the basis of need rather than race. The rot goes back a long way.

 

Given that 34 per cent of voters currently think that the party best placed to handle immigration is actually One Nation, on this issue, at least, perhaps a tougher Liberal Party is exactly what voters want. …

What they see in Hanson is less about a viable alternative PM than someone who has at least been consistent in her opposition to net zero, mass migration, and the nonsense of three flags and welcoming people to their own country.

Latest polls put One Nation at 26%, Labor at 31%. One Nation never made the mistake of trying to please the ABC.
