David Beckham, who retired, shared images from his farm life. I hope the likes of Serena Williams can learn from this. Retirement from sports life shouldn’t make you an insufferable nuisance to society. 🌺
CHARLIE KIRK
Why did the ABC downplay one of the most significant political assassinations in recent US history?
On 11 September, the ABC’s flagship 7.30 program ignored the assassination of Charlie Kirk, while commercial outlets covered it extensively. Instead, the ABC ran stories on British politics, youth crime, and prosthetics.
Fifteen hours had passed. They had time. They even published an online article the same day. But somehow, no mention on prime-time TV.
When the ABC did cover Kirk, they branded him a “far-right activist”. This is a loaded label they don’t apply consistently to others, including organisers of radical pro-Palestine protests. Why the double standard?
Australians deserve answers. Our national broadcaster must be accurate, impartial, and consistent. That’s its Charter.

I entirely disagree with what Allegra Spender said in her statement today. But I welcome her contribution to the migration debate.
Because concerns about mass migration are not from a fringe movement. They are grassroot issues driven by Canberra’s failures.
This is a national conversation our country must have.
Ms Spender may be comfortable in her affluent electorate. But many Australians are struggling under the cost of living, locked out of home ownership, and burdened by the pressures of mass migration.
Let’s clear up a few things:
Thousands of Australians, from all backgrounds, peacefully marched on 31 August. They waved our national flag, sang our national anthem, and expressed their love for our country.
Many marched because they have legitimate concerns about Labor’s mass migration agenda and its ramifications on housing, infrastructure, essential services, and our social cohesion.
There were some neo-Nazis involved in the marches who were rightly booed by others who marched – and condemned by the rest us.
But Ms Spender characterised these marches as “neo-nazi organised anti-immigration rallies.”
She follows others like Anne Aly who labelled the marches as “blatantly racist” and Mehreen Faruqi who characterised the marches as “racist, white supremacist, and anti-immigrant rallies.” Even the Prime Minister said the tone of much of the rallies was “unfortunate.”
Their objective is clear: to impugn the motives of those who marched and to delegitimise the reasonable concerns that millions of Australians have about mass migration.
Criticising Labor’s mass migration agenda, Andrew Hastie said, “We’re starting to feel like strangers in our own home.” Ms Spender rebukes Andrew Hastie by linking his language to that of Enoch Powell. But will Ms Spender also level the same criticism against Labour UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, who recently used similar language stating, “we risk becoming an island of strangers”?
The truth is, since the sordid scenes on the steps of the Sydney Opera House on 9 October 2023, many Australians do not recognise their fellow countrymen.
We do not recognise our fellow countrymen in those who firebomb synagogues.
We do not recognise our fellow countrymen in those who attend rallies and chant genocidal slogans, wave flags of terrorist organisations, and carry a photograph of Iran’s oppressive dictator.
We do not recognise our fellow countrymen in those who burn our national flag – such is their historical ignorance and national ingratitude.
This nation has generously welcomed millions of migrants to our shores – the vast majority of whom are hard-working people, who have embraced our values, and who have become cherished Australian citizens.
But we must wake up the fact that there are people in our country today who do not want to change for Australia, but want Australia to change for them.
And Australians have had enough.
Labor, the Greens, and the Teals can shout racism and bark insults all they want.
But Australians can see through these false accusations and smears because they can see their country changing for the worse.
I’m sure statements like Allegra Spender’s will only see more Australians peacefully take to the streets to express their pride in our country and to send a message to Canberra that they will not be silenced.
Our culture, our values, and our way of life are worth remembering, protecting and defending.
And that’s what I will always fight for.
What a cracking conversation with Ben Fordham this morning on 2GB. No spin, no hiding behind anonymity, just calling it as it is.
Australians deserve an opposition that’s focused, principled, and unafraid to speak up. That means putting our country first, challenging bad decisions like Labor’s reckless embrace of net zero, and standing firm against Anthony Albanese’s failures that are driving up the cost of living and weakening our nation.
At the end of the day, it’s not about personalities or petty factional games. It’s about holding this government to account and standing up for families, communities, and our nation. That’s my focus, and I won’t shy away from saying it loud and clear.
An amazing, beautiful speech from Erika Kirk, full of grace.
Charlie “wanted to save young men just like the one who took his life.”
“On the cross, our Savior said ‘Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.’ …
“That man, that young man, I forgive him.”
Fatima Payman mocking the death of Charlie Kirk isn’t just vile, it’s revealing. When the mask slips, this is what the left shows us: no compassion, no decency, only contempt. And yet they lecture the rest of us about unity and respect. Remember this moment the next time anyone from the left starts lecturing from atop their moral high horse.
Thank you, Fatima, for exposing what you and those who share your radical leftist ideology really believe.
The forced closure & relocation of the Prime Minister’s office, due to what he calls ‘aggressive’ pro-Palestinian protestors, begs the question - who’s in charge?
How do we accept in a democracy that protestors intimidate the PM to the extent that he is the one who has to pack up stumps.
This is what happens when you keep giving ground to those who hate and those who harm. It emboldens them. I say to the Deputy PM Richard Marles - you are right - it is a ‘complete disgrace,’ but it is you and your Government that can do something about it.
It is high time those in authority asserted their authority. It has been allowed to go way too far endangering us all👇
Only a morally bankrupt narcissist could centre herself in the cold blooded murder of someone else.
Abbie - you are an unimaginable cunt. You have forfeited your humanity.
Over the past 24 hours, especially talking to young people, I’ve been really struck by the impact Charlie Kirk has had on their lives. He’s been a force for faith and is now a martyr for free speech. His life should inspire more of us to be more like him: an exemplar of character, courage and conviction.
