The Government will legislate to allow landlords to ask prospective tenants to put up an additional amount in bond for damage caused by a pet. This is being sold to the public as a win for tenants but as one may expect...it's another tool a landlord can use to charge tenants more money and withhold money at the end of a tenancy as the damage that a pet can cause under this new legislation goes...

Really hard issue tonight to talk about hate speech laws versus hate crimes law. This Government has moved away from hate speech but want to make hate crimes a chargeable offence.

Conspiracy theorist "radio" station "Reality Check" Radio is holding their audience hostage by telling them they need to pay as much as they can to get the hosts to come back on air. They allegedly started with $5,000,000, let alone the money given to them from listeners, and now have nothing left demonstrating that while they may be good at fund raising and branding, they have...

If it seems like we are picking on BvV this week, you'll have to forgive us but someone who performs as poorly as she has this week needs to be exposed for the moron that she is.

The latest 'trust in media' survey is out by the folks at the Journalism, Media and Democracy Research Centre which shows, among other findings, that in 2023, general trust in news declined from 45% to 42%, continuing a downward trend that was already evident in 2020 when the survey was first conducted. However, in 2023, the trust in news people consume themselves increased from 52% to 53%...

Brook van Velden probably needs to listen to some wise advice "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt" as her weekend Q&A interview had her not understanding questions, not answering questions, making statement that were just contrary to common knowledge and one has to wonder why anyone would give this out-of-her-depth MP a vote. The lates...

We actually agree with what she wants to see, but supporting three strikes doesn't work as t...

When one of the priests of the right in the US says that there is a genocide happening in Gaza the right lose their minds. Joe Rogan makes a simple observation about the response from Israel against Gaza and gets called "pro Hamas" by some on the right, this is the thin skinned nature of Zionists who cannot take any criticism of Israeli Government Policy in any way.
