If you're a conservative, it's a hard ask to vote for the Liberal Party. If you're a libertarian, it's impossible. But it's not all bad news - the Liberal Democrats are flying the flag for freedom.

I spoke to former Queensland Premier Campbell Newman, now the Lead Queensland Senate Candidate for the Lib Dems, and found out why he wanted to get back into politics, the need for courage, and is this, finally, the libertarian moment?

The election is underway and it's already boring because the candidates are wrapped in cotton wool and every ounce of personality has been squeezed out of them. So instead of concentrating on the election, let's look at the latest diversity madness ... and it is mad. And it is spreading. From America. From academia. And it will cost lives.

For the first time as PM, ScoMo showed some spine this week when he told Queensland to take a hike - pay for your own flood repair. But after one day of bad headlines and criticism from insurance companies (!), he went buckled, bent and broke. He managed to look weak whle giving away $370 million. That takes a special breed of political stupid. What more should we expect from this most hollow of hollow men?

After a budget where everyone got a prize, Scott Morrison has finally found his courage and said he won't send a sack of your money to fix bad planning in Queensland. That's remarkable. But like a levee around Lismore, let's see how long he lasts.

And a Liberal Senator asks the boss of the Department of Health, Professor Brendan Murphy, the toughest question in the world: what is a woman? What do you think he said?

It's Asexual Awareness Day! It just seems like yesterday we were celebrating some other day about what people do with their genitals. Today we explore this and other issues that could get me banned from YouTube (a good reason not to be on YouTube). THere are also some politicians with their noses in the trough - we give them a whack - and a giant bucket gets dumped on the PM. Oh, this is going to be a long election campaign.

Everyone is being pressured to get electric vehicles - but there are a few problems. In a few years' time, there's no guarantee we will have the capacity to make the batteries, and electric vehicles won't be quite so cheap, even if we mine to our heart's content.

A frightening report from the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security has demonstrated how the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated Australian universities. Whatever you thought might be happening is worse.

It used to be that if you were a victim, something must have happened to you as an individual. Today, there is a more powerful victimhood - collective victimhood. Nothing needs to have occurred directly, you just need to be. Your characteristics make you a victim - your gender, your race, your religion, your sexual preference. And even if you have the world at your feet, there's enormous power in being a victim and it is irresistible to even the most privileged.

There are big differences between Kimberley Kitching being bullied by the mean girls and Concetta Fierravanti-Wells dropping a bucket of poop on ScoMo: Kitching did it while she was alive; Fierravanti-Wells is a dead senator walking - but after years of being bagged by the left, they suddenly realise they liked her! Funny that. And after years of drawing attention to the evident cognitive decline of Joe Biden, even the Washington Post is admitting the undeniable. What took them so long? And what's to be done about him?

And finally, Donald Trump played a round of golf. And then he issued a media release. It is awesome.

You didn't have to be Nostradamus to know that the Budget was going to be crap. Here's the truth - they're all hot garbage. Guesses and wishful thinking and good news built on good fortune beyond our control. The cut in fuel excise is because of Gina, Twiggy and Clive but it's paid for in debt. But don't worry, we're sending the bill to our grandkids.
