Hold the PHON! One Nation is on the rise!

In an historically sgnificant move, One Nation is removing the founder's name from its branding.

The announced change in name from Pauline Hanson’s One Nation (PHON) to simply ‘One Nation’ is significant. Political parties that include the founder’s name come and go, but no active political party that includes the founder’s name has existed as long as the party formed by Pauline Hanson in 1997.

My latest in The Spectator Australia, Hold the PHON! One Nation is on the rise!

One Nation is unique in Australian political history Pauline Hanson is set to leave a legacy that may well endure.

Albo’s wall-to-wall press coverage wants us to ‘Back Australia’

They are basically saying Albo will Make Australia Great Again but with different words.

In the tradition of Australian political theatre, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has unveiled his latest bid for relevance, the ‘Back Australia’ campaign.

Launched with nauseating levels of support from the mainstream media, the usual corporate titans have jumped on the government-funded bandwagon. Albo’s pitiful policy promises of a ‘new industrial era’ have been copied and pasted across Australia’s mastheads.

Dave Rubin comes to Sydney

People like Dave Rubin are bringing about the end of Woke, one cnversion at a time.

Last night I was fortunate enough to meet with Dave Rubin after his show in Chatswood. The event was hosted by the Centre for Independent Studies, MC'd by new CEO Michael Stutchbury, with Dave interviewed by former Deputy PM John Anderson.

Dave Rubin is an interesting character in the conservative movement. His journey proves that one does not necessarily fit the leftists' bill because of who they are and what they do.

Dave was very generous in spirit and I am pleased I was able to hear him speak about Charlie Kirk, Presidetn Trump, Australian politics, and all things political and cultural.
