Dystopian Down Under

By Rebekah Barnett

Based in reality. Reporting on life in The Upside Down. Perth, Australia.

A splendid voice of sanity in Covid-Crazy Australia. Written in a blend of the the well-informed and the hopping-mad.

Anne Can't Stand It!

By Anne Gibbons

Cartoons to lighten the way out of the planetary looney bin

It's not fair! 'Anne Can't Stand It' says more, with more pithiness, lucidity and acerbic wit, in just a few deft ink lines than any turgid dross I labour over for hours with mere words. Truly, humour is the highest form of wit, and one of the most potent weapons against tyranny and general nuttiness in this, the third year of our Great Covid Derangement.

Riggery Pokery

By Rudolph Rigger

Simple thoughts for not-so-simple times

One of the sanest - and funniest - debunkers of Covid lunacy going round. Now turning his delightfully wicked sense of humour to woke lunacy.

Dispatches from a Scamdemic

By Mark Oshinskie

Real life stories about Coronamania

One of the best, most clear-eyed writers on the 'real pandemic' of nutty, harmful virus response policies that have ruined so much of what it means to be human. Combines the personal and anecdotal with more abstract reflections. Engagingly written and so easy to identify with. Mark really gets it right.
