Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The damage to the reputation of an entertainer charged in a global sting targeting organised crime would be permanent even if he was named and then found not guilty, a lawyer has said. The entertainer was arrested in June, alongside about 40 others across the country, following the sting. He appeared at the High Court at Auckland on Wednesday seeking […]
In a week when Russia quite rightly became the scourge of the world, it was perhaps fitting that a sprinter named after the land of putrid Putin’s favourite aerial freestyle skier copped the worst run in transit since the Titanic and met a similar fate. Smirnova was the galloper’s name, and the smart 3YO filly […]
Bob Hawke was elected as PM when I was 14. The silver budgie was my parent’s hero, and I thought he was a genius. He fooled us all. Hawke was a Karmichael Hunt. His wife meant nothing, his kids meant nothing, his party meant nothing, his promises meant nothing, we the people of Australia meant […]
The President of the Ukraine is a professional comedian. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is his name. He came to fame oddly enough by playing the President in a TV series, much like Martin Sheen in The West Wing. His party won power with an absolute majority, meaning they make all the decisions in the country. They have […]
There are some very disturbing rumours floating across the ditch that suggest that New Zealand might wake up this morning to an announcement that the Prime Minister Jacinda Arden will be resigning from her position.

There has been one of those ‘huge’ political controversies this week involving Clive Palmer, the kind that the big fella attracts like honey pulls bees. This time it was about the ABC refusing to televise Clive’s campaign launch because Aunty says it doesn’t want to promote ant-vax views. That’s good of them. They give airtime […]
Isn’t it incredible? A young woman in her mid-twenties who has no role in politics at all is the defining face of Australian politics. She calls the Prime Minister Scott, and says g’day instead of curtseying to him as he’d prefer, and she has got ScoMo on the ropes big time. He is not scared […]
The State of Queensland was near COVID-free while the borders were closed. So we opened them. COVID was effectively contained when the State had strict and broad contact tracing. So we abandoned it. Polymerase chain reaction testing (PCR) is 100% effective. Rapid Antigen Testing (RAT) is not. So we abandon PCR testing in favour of […]
So this is the Greens plan. Shut down racing. Turn all race courses into parks. Rehabilitate all race horses. (From what? Are they meth heads, junkies, drunks or sex addicts? Even the geldings?) Rehome all the horses who have been to rehab. Retrain: jockeyswork riders stable hands strappers stewards starters swabbies barrier attendants clerks of […]
