Peter Dutton stunned by question on campaign trail with son Harry

1 week ago | news.com.au | Caleb Bond

OPINIONIt’s been a relatively uninspiring federal election campaign thus far. So much so that the most exciting thing to happen has been Peter Dutton’s son, Harry, joining him on the campaign trail. The 20-year-old apprentice chippy fronted a press conference with his father on Monday, saying he was “saving like mad”, as was his sister, to buy his first home but the dream seemed out of reach.
The Albanese slip-up over Chinese 'spy ship' spotted off the coast of South Australia that proves he’s the leader Beijing wants elected on May 3

2 weeks ago | skynews.com.au | Caleb Bond

It is rather curious that China would send a spy ship to monitor the waters around South Australia straight after a Federal Election was called. After all, Chinese state media endorsed Anthony Albanese for Prime Minister in 2022 and he has largely repaired relations with the Chinese Communist Party – so why would they want to catapult the issue of China and national security into the middle of an election campaign?
Aussies rebel against ‘extortionate tax’

OPINIONThey’ve finally done it – they’ve found the answer to stopping people from smoking. There’s still a stubborn group of people who refuse to give up the durries despite the best efforts of all and sundry.
‘Mad, stupid’: Real reason Donald Trump won

1 month ago | news.com.au | Caleb Bond

OPINIONAustralians seem to have a smug superiority about their intelligence – particularly when it comes to Americans. The attitude of many seems to be that Americans are mad and stupid and we’d never act like them in a more civilised country like ‘Straya. And that attitude is never more obvious than when you’re talking about Donald Trump. For some reason, people think we’re above electing a Trump-like figure because we’re not dumb like those Americans who like the orange man.
Sign Donald Trump could pull off the unthinkable in Ukraine war

1 month ago | cairnspost.com.au | Caleb Bond

OPINIONTwo things can be true at once – Ukraine should be defended, and the war with Russia must end. Ending the war is, in reality, the best way to secure the defence of Ukraine long-term. Much has been made of the blow-up between US President Donald Trump, his Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. However crude and unedifying the airing of dirty laundry might be, it was a conversation that needed to happen.
Sneaky photos of Steven Miles drinking wine on a plane spark outrage

2 months ago | cairnspost.com.au | Caleb Bond

OPINIONFormer Queensland Premier Steven Miles is in deep trouble. He was always a bit of a joke – they didn’t call him Giggles for nothing – and his 10-month premiership was a flop. But the new Liberal National Party of Queensland (LNP) government has uncovered something much worse than that. You thought Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen and his cronies were bad but, in the great tradition of dodgy Queensland politics, Mr Miles has been caught out.

Sam Kerr ‘cannot captain the Matildas again’

2 months ago | news.com.au | Caleb Bond

OPINIONYou have likely seen the footage, played to a London court, of the Matildas captain in a police station after she allegedly vomited in a cab and broke its back window. The court was told the cabbie drove the women to Twickenham Police Station where they claimed the taxi driver tried to kidnap them and take them hostage. Constable Stephen Lovell then tried to explain the cabbie’s version of events, which led to Kerr’s outburst. “You guys are stupid and white,” Kerr said.
‘Tatters’: 25yo’s horror exposes EV reality

Jan 22, 2025 | news.com.au | Caleb Bond

OPINIONElectric vehicle targets are in tatters. Remember just a few years ago when Labor, prior to winning the 2022 federal election, calculated its net zero targets on the basis that EVs would make up 89 per cent of new car sales by 2030? The federal transport department later revised that down to 27 per cent. And yet the industry would have you believe it is going gangbusters.
25yo exposes truth behind wild Coles knives ban after QLD stabbing

Jan 15, 2025 | cairnspost.com.au | Caleb Bond

OPINIONIt’s understandable that, in the wake of an awful crime, we look for ways to prevent it from being repeated. But why do we so frequently turn to bans and restrictions for what are usually rare incidents? The New South Wales government last year passed laws allowing police to check people for knives without a warrant or suspicion after the Bondi stabbing and the attack on Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel at his church. In reality, that makes no difference to knife crime.

The Canadian military tested out propaganda techniques from the Afghanistan war during Covid in an effort to quell civil disobedience and amplify government messaging. The lies, manipulation and destruction of the pandemic times just keep mounting. https://t.co/Y0vGVgU0NM

German journalist David Bendels was given a 7 month suspended sentence for posting this meme of the German Interior Minister. The sign says “I hate freedom of speech”. It’s illegal to publicly insult people in Germany. Clown world stuff. Coming to a western country near you. https://t.co/DStPUMEIiH

Good - stamp duty a major impediment to getting into the market. But why do we need to be taxed on the sale of land and cars that we’ve bought with money on which we’ve already been taxed?
