Eshays, imported riots – are water cannons next?

Queensland is suffering from a crime wave, and both of my grandmothers (in their nineties) have been victims of youth crime. Following the weekend's eshay-fest, is it time to bring in the big guns?

Whether it’s antisemitic pro-Palestinians or a gathering of ‘eshays’ in Logan in Queensland, our police forces have lost control of the streets. We’ve used up our smugness and we can no longer say, ‘We are so lucky that doesn’t happen here.’

Well, now it does.

Communist roots to anti-nuclear sentiment in Australia

Doc Evatt's reputation never recovered from his infamous Molotov speech

At the end of the Second World War, the Chifley Labor government became involved in a joint project with Britain to develop nuclear weapons. The fall of Singapore in 1942 ended Australia’s illusion that the Mother Country would always come to our aid. And while thousands of Americans lost their lives defending Australia, conflicts with communists in Malaya, Korea, and Vietnam meant our backyard was not as safe as we thought.

Australia’s flirtation with communism in the post-war era impacted our defence and intelligence capability. Our allies simply did not trust us with details of ‘the bomb’. Attempts by left-leaning, well-meaning pacifists to form a world government to manage nuclear weapons helped the cause of international socialism. The anti-nuclear sentiment that still exists here today has its roots in communism in Australia.

Writing in the Unfiltered newsletter, Alexandra Marshall had this to say:

Political traitors are not new to Australia. Michael de Percy’s article over the weekend brings a timely reminder that the Left have a long history of undermining Australia’s national security to their fellow socialists. As he writes, ‘The Communist Party of Australia helped the Soviet Union by sending British intelligence via the Soviet Embassy in Canberra. Although defeated at a referendum, Menzies’ attempt to ban the Communist Party in Australia was not without justification.’
