Is Albo a lame duck one term PM?

It really feels as though Albo is shaping up to be the most ineffectual and worst prime minister Australia has had in recent times, perhaps ever. I would say at this point he has already surpassed Scomo in his hopelessness, and with what seems to be the impending failure of the ‘Voice’ it no longer … Read more

R.I.P Richard Lynn

I have just recieved word via Twitter that English researcher and psychologist Richard Lynn has died peacefully in his sleep, aged 93. Lynn was the last of the OG noticiers and so-called ‘HBD’ scientists who specialised in the study of population psychometry.

You won’t even need to rort it, because it’ll be so easy to migrate to Australia after … Read more

One of the most legendary commenters on MacroBusiness. We all knew this guy. We didn’t know who he was, where his numbers came from, and how much of them were embellished. He was the boiler plate man; a guy who would repeatedly post some modified/varied statistic heavy spiel in nearly every thread detailing the horror … Read more
