The horrific murder of five-year-old Warlpiri girl Kumanjayi Little Baby demands our utmost respect, which is why I am using it to settle petty political scores with people I dislike in Sydney. Frankly, if the chattering classes simply read my column, these tragedies wouldn't happen.
When Northern Territory police charged Jefferson Lewis with the murder of Kumanjayi, who vanished from an Alice Springs town camp in April, my first thought was naturally: how does this validate my broader grievances? I was having lunch with a rather influential mining executive just yesterday, and we both agreed that the media's focus on systemic poverty and historical disenfranchisement is entirely missing the point. The real issue, let me be clear, is that coastal progressives refuse to acknowledge that I have been right about everything since 1998.
The tragic loss of a Warlpiri girl is a sobering reminder that we need to immediately defund the ABC and crack down on climate protesters.
It is simply exhausting to be the only person willing to speak these hard truths from a climate-controlled office in the CBD. While the community in Alice Springs grieves the unimaginable loss of a five-year-old, I hope they find some small comfort in knowing that I have successfully used their pain to win an argument on Twitter.
