Recently for the Spectator, I wrote about Declan Cutler, a 16 year old who was stabbed over 50 times in a random attack in Melbourne by a 'gang of teenagers'.

Afterwards, one attacker googled "Is hell guaranteed for a Muslim who commits murder?" Another teenager, Jason Langhans, was stabbed to death by an Afghani asylum-seeker for trying to stop him from gatecrashing a party.

This happened in a small regional coastal town outside of Melbourne.

For what it's worth, Muslims make up 3.2% of the general population, 9% of the prison population, and 0.1% of the Australian Defence Force. According to NSW Electoral Data, of the top 5 electorates for unemployment in NSW, all have well above average pop. of Muslims (12.5%+).

Bankstown, which has the highest concentration of Muslim people (37.5%), has the second highest unemployment rate (7.5%).

Early 2000s television wasn't amazing by sheer coincidence. It was great because for whatever reason, all of the writers realised the same thing at the same time.

That their world - the world they and their ancestors knew - was on its way out. This feeling struck a chord. 🧵 The Sopranos is a story about leadership in a dying tradition.

In the first episode, Tony tells his therapist "It's good to get in on the ground floor. I came in too late for that, I know. But lately I'm feeling, I came in at the end."

Remember when @AlboMP and the Labor party pretended that they would would lower migration to help Australian workers and then once in office proceeded to immediately lift Australia’s migrant intake to its highest level ever because their business donors told them to? @AlboMP Interestingly, the members for business lobby groups like ACCI and BCA donated equal amounts to both Liberal AND Labor party last election.

Why did they donate the exact same amount to competing parties? Surely they didn’t expect anything in return?
