The day has come to draw a close on the experiment that was The Daily Breakdown podcast. I can't thank you all enough for your loyalty over the years. Your emails, support and kindness have meant the world to me - but most of all have been your responses to the difficult episodes we've been through together. The offer remains - if you come through Canberra, please let me know - [email protected]. You've been an amazing audience. Thank you for everything.

If you went to Labor or the Libs and said, "hey, here's $15 million, I want you to legislate to help my investments", you might be in a spot of bother. But what if you did it with individual candidates?

Anzac Day should be the ideal that binds the nation - not just the multi-generation Australians, it should be the story that makes Australia attractive to new arrivals and gives us all an ideal to aim for. Maybe that's why the left hates Anzac so much: it exposes their moral weakness. In other news, the media keeps hammering Katherine Deves in Warringah. We explore why - and why this issue is bigger than a candidate in a seat she will lose.

Scott Morrison sure put his foot in it when he used the word 'blessed'. Or did he? There's much more to his comments than what you heard in the virtue-signalling pile on that is ruining our ability to discuss any topic in Australia. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/12/the-last-children-of-down-syndrome/616928/

'Politics is downstream of culture', which means if you control the commanding heights of culture - academia, the media, entertainment, the public sector, non-government organisations - you have enormous power beyond the ballot...

You're right to laugh at the Greens. Their economic policies are madness. They have no connection with reality. But if you think they're bad with money, wait till you see what they want to do wih national security. They're living in fantasy land ... and they could decide the next Prime Minister. https://greens.org.au/own-home https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/china-not-a-big-concern-greens/news-story/02ce29cd3e3397d7fbf2367d040ba16f https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-57124636

The left starts the culture wars and they get shirty when we realise what they're doing and fight back. That's what's happening now in the transgender debate and the opponents of common sense are circling their wagons....

There is a movement across Australia to have a federal anti-corruption body. Well-meaning people think this will stop the most egregious examples of political skulduggery and protect the public purse. As if. The worst pilfering of the public purse doesn't occur behind closed doors. It's in the open. It's bipartisan. And there's nothing we can do about it. Today, two examples. And if you're not angry, it's because you haven't heard about them yet.

Adam Bandt should be taken seriously: he is the leader of a party that could decide the next prime minister (theoretically, we all know he would choose Labor). But being a Green, he has been lucky not to be held to the scrutiny he deserves. That's a shame. He has lots of very bad ideas, and bad ideas are hard to kill.

Today on The Breakdown, we revisit the Kumanjayi Walker episode of 15 March 2022. On Friday, 11 March, Constable Zachary Rolfe was found not guilty on three charges, including murder, related to the shooting death of Kumanjayi Walker in the Northern Territory in November 2019. As soon as the verdict was reported, the Blaktivists and the race hustlers sought to capitalise on the result. Walker's life was horrific and he made the lives of those around him just as bad. His life and the...

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...

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 g******s. 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...

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...

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.

Josh Frydenberg will deliver his fourth Budget tonight. It will be crap. There will be 'tax cuts'. There will be cost-of-living 'relief'. But you'll be paying for it. Maybe not today, but tomorrow - and if the spending tonight is as bad as the spending over the past decade, your kids will be paying for it as well. It's time government treated us like the adults we pretend to be and told us, "sorry, but there is no money tree".

You've heard about misinformation. You've heard about disinformation. But have you heard about 'malinformation'? It's the new ugly tool for government to crack down on speech it doesn't like and it'll be coming to a social media platform near you any day now ... it just needs a bit of context. Malinformation: https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/mdm-incident-response-guide_508.pdf https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/rumor-control-startup-guide_508.pdf...

A freedom of information request has lifted the lid on how bureaucrats worked to hide their inner workings not only from the public but also from government. If you think they treat you with contempt, tou're not alone - they have some epic disrespect for the MPs they are meant to serve. Aaron Chen https://youtu.be/YwTkh_XUA94 https://youtu.be/w0mIPtaRGvI

Maths is tough - but when your algorithms and your data are used to decide whether to lockdown millions of people, take away civil liberties and mandate vaccinations, you'd better be right. The problem is - a lot of the date and the 'science' was wrong. Now the truth is coming out, but it's a bit bloody...
