Kicking Israel Folau off GoFundMe was meant to be the death of his fight with Rugby Australia. WRONG! Once again, the left has totally misread the mood of Australia.
Media nagging has won - Israel Folau has been kicked off GoFundMe. So while conservatives might win elections, the zeitgeist is running against us. Today, The Breakdown shows you how we're losing.
The media wanted to make an example of Folau. First they gave publicity to his boring Instagram page and when he wouldn't bend to their will, he was sacked. He's now asking for $3 mill on GoFundMe. The media was appalled. He's now raised almost $750,000. Maybe it's time the media shut the hell up.
Michael Wolff wrote a sleazy discredited book on the Trump Administration. Now he has another one. And despite being a joke, when the ABC wants commentary on the US election, he's the bloke they turn to. Confirmation and selection bias par excellence - that's why ABC viewers were shocked when Trump won.
Setka and his allies have declared war on the ALP, promising to audit every MP to find domestic violence allegations. What does the 49% pay claim for childcare workers mean or you, and does Kristina Keneally want to abolish the right to claim asylum? It sure looks that way.
Australia spend $200 million a week to support the renewables boondoggle. If this is what it costs to 'do nothing about climate change', what's the cost of 'climate action' going to be? We also cover how John Setka is making a union leaker very, very nervous, and free speech is dead in New Zealand.
Watching Q&A is like poking a stick in your eye. But it's worth it to see climate scientist David Karoly concede every point to Alan Jones - especially when he doesn't realise he's doing it.
The AFL cracking down on fans is symptomatic of gap between the elites and the rest of us - the managers don't like their customers. AFL bosses think fans are uncouth and the political class thinks you're a barbarian. No wonder they don't understand you.
After nine years, countless protests, endless green wailing and lies, a 20,000 page EIS and a motorcade of morons, Adani is go, baby! Those green tears hitting their Birkenstocks is the sound of progress. About time!
The NSW ALP is leaking like a sieve - this time against Chris Bowen and a donation which can't be sourced, although there are links to CCP groups in Australia and Sam Dastyari's old mate Huang Xiangmo. It's a shocking indictment of how cheaply Australian politics influence can be accessed.
