ROWAN DEAN The sick fantasy of the Albanese Labor government is that there is some vast far-right network out there in the shadows stirring up all sorts of malign schemes. Indeed, the ‘far right’, the ‘neo-Ns’ and the ‘white supremacists’ appear to warrant far more attention from the Albanese government – certainly in press conferences and interviews – than do, for example, radical Islamist hate preachers and their ilk. But the simple fact is that the violence and political trouble-making that this country has seen in recent years is almost entirely of the left, be it of the communist, socialist, anarchist or Islamist persuasion.

Labor’s Digital Duty of Care bill forms part of an ongoing tantrum put on – jointly – by the Uniparty and media after they lost control of the political narrative. The rise of social media represents their loss of power. One Nation supports social media because we believe the voice of the people and independent journalists make Australia freer and safer. We believe Canberra cannot be trusted with censorship powers and that mainstream media deserve to be out-competed on account of their appalling behaviour exhibited over decades.

Is Chris Bowen watching the doomed EV transition in Britain? The planned ban on petrol car sales, set for 2035, may never happen. The industry is not ready for it, the infrastructure is not in place, and the whole thing is costing too much money. Article | spectator.com.au/2026/10/bri…

Some members of our political class spent years defending or ignoring lenient outcomes when the victims were regional grandmothers or suburban daughters. Suddenly they have discovered the crimes their constituents have endured for years. The language of deterrence, mandatory sentencing, and ‘community expectations’ returns the moment the threats land on their own doorstep. Their latest solution is to ban social media. If anyone can explain how that fixes the sentencing and policing failures they spent years tolerating, I am all ears. Article | spectator.com.au/2026/10/pol…

I don’t want Australia returned to the 1950s or converted into an Anglo-Celtic museum with a White Australia gift shop. I have argued explicitly that nostalgia cannot save a nation. Australian values were never the private property of a bloodline. They were shaped across centuries, carried through British institutions and eventually made unmistakably Australian. Migrants – including my own family – entered that culture, contributed to it and made it their own. The past is not a destination. It is an inheritance. Article | spectator.com.au/2026/10/the…

After 12 years of failure, economic destruction, and emotional trauma - surely the people of Victoria have had enough of Labor? In roughly 30 days, they have one task - dumping the most dodgy, ‘clapped out’ government in the state’s history. Article | spectator.com.au/2026/10/vic…

Why should Australia care about France's 'Eat the Rich!' revolution? 😬 The Australian dollar is currently outrunning the euro, trading around 70 US cents on expectations of higher local rates. In a genuine flight from risk, however, the Aussie stops behaving like a currency and starts behaving like a barometer of global nerves. It falls when the world is frightened, and it falls fast.

Instead of governing for the people, Labor are hellbent on banning things. The result is that ordinary people lose tools while criminals continue to use whatever is available. Article | spectator.com.au/2026/10/lab…

Much is made of the difficulties, discrimination, and unpleasantness that migrants face when they move to a new country. In comparison, the study into what a migrant must do to become a contributing ‘citizen’ of Australia is studied considerably less so... Article | spectator.com.au/2026/10/we-…

BRENDAN O'NEILL | "What the hell is wrong with you?" 🙄 Leftie teachers are shocked that they might soon be prevented from wearing Palestine badges in the classroom. Spare a thought for the rest of us who are shocked that you were doing that in the first place. You taught kids, including Jewish kids, while adorned in the colours under which more than a thousand Jews were massacred by Islamo-fascists just three years ago?
