An Act to protect freedom of expression in Australia, to repeal laws that unduly restrict speech including section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, to prohibit compelled speech and censorship, to provide platform immunity, and for related purposes. Part 1 – Preliminary 1.Short title: Freedom of Speech Act 2026. 2.Commencement: The d...
Bruce Charlton's recent post on his blog nails a quiet but profound truth: the most elegant and consequential advances in human history are often stunningly simple. They require no exotic materials, no billion-dollar labs, and no teams of PhDs — just one clear-eyed individual who sees what everyone else has been blind to for centuries. His st...
The provocative claim that "Leftism is the domain of people with serious mental health issues" is deliberately blunt — and it contains more than a kernel of uncomfortable truth. Multiple large-scale surveys and longitudinal studies over the past two decades consistently show that self-identified liberals and progressives report significantly higher...
The latest war in the Middle East — with strikes on Iran, disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, refinery damage, and tanker threats — has sent oil prices surging past $100 a barrel and triggered genuine fuel shocks in many countries. Fuel prices in Australia are climbing sharply, and the pain is real for households, truckies, farmers, and indu...
In March 2026, the United Nations passed a resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity. The phrasing is sweeping and unequivocal, reflecting the immense suffering associated with the Atlantic system. Yet the certainty of this claim sits uneasily with the historical record. Once we step back and examin...
The language is different this time, but the structure feels familiar. Where once the vocabulary was epidemiological — curves, distancing, essential movement — it is now infrastructural: supply constraints, grid stability, demand management. The instruction, however, is recognisably the same. Work from home if you can. Travel less. Reduce consumpti...
There was a time when political opacity required effort — dense legislation, obscure committees, and the occasional redacted document. Today, it arrives gift-wrapped in the form of a cryptic social media post: "I wish I could say more… everything I know is classified… some of you would be very surprised who's not entirely human." The claim, attribu...
In 2016, the World Economic Forum released a short promotional video outlining "8 Predictions for the World in 2030." The very first line landed like a slap: "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy." Whatever you want, you'll rent, and it'll be delivered by drone. The backlash was immediate and ferocious. The WEF quickly walked it back, insisting ...
Police officer Simon Bohr was shot six times while chasing down a youth of Turkish origin who had robbed a gas station, but the killer will not go to prison. In Germany, a teenager who shot dead a police officer after firing at him multiple times has been acquitted of murder and will avoid prison — after telling a court he was often in a "bad mood"...
Peter Frost's recent piece in Aporia poses a provocative question: Are high-trust societies more xenophobic? His answer flips the moral script. Xenophobia isn't a bug or a moral failure in these societies — it's a feature that helps sustain the very conditions for high trust: strong in-group norms, low crime, reliable cooperation, and a share...
Ann Coulter cut through the sanctimony with characteristic bluntness: While U.S. law declares it illegal to sneak into the country uninvited, the Pope — invoking Our Lady of Guadalupe — insists that American immigration laws must yield to his assertions about the "dignity" of illegal entrants. The U.S. Catholic bishops doubled down, declaring...
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stepped up to deliver a rare Address to the Nation on 1 April 2026. The occasion? A genuine global energy shock triggered by the escalating conflict in the Middle East, the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and the resulting historic spike in petrol and diesel prices hitting an Australia that imports a...
Psychotherapist, Dr. Joseph Sansone, filed a Reply Brief to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General James Uthemeir in his effort to prohibit MRNA injections and products in the State of Florida because they are biological and technological weapons of mass destruction. Two days earlier, Governor DeSantis and Attorney General James U...
In late March/early April 2026, as tensions between Iran, the US, Israel, and Gulf states boiled over into open conflict, a new nightmare scenario exploded across social media and news outlets: Iran was reportedly threatening to cut the undersea internet cables that snake through the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz. Posts claimed these cable...
A popular YouTube video making the rounds (link below) highlights a painful reality for many older Australians: the Centrelink Age Pension system can quietly pressure retirees into selling their long-held family home. The video frames it as a "scam" — harsh language, but it captures the frustration of pensioners who discover that downsizing or liqu...
Recent opinion polls have sparked the claim that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is now more unpopular than President Donald Trump. In a world where both leaders face intense scrutiny amid global crises (the Iran conflict, fuel price spikes, and domestic economic pressures), the comparison highlights deep voter dissatisfaction on both sides of the ...
Australia's political and business class loves to talk about the dreaded skills shortage. It justifies everything from record net overseas migration to relaxed visa rules and employer-sponsored pathways. Yet as a recent report from Sustainable Population Australia (SPA), highlighted by Leith van Onselen at Macrobusiness.com.au, makes clear: the sho...
Matt Goodwin's new book, Suicide of a Nation: Immigration, Islam, Identity, lands like a thunderclap in a country that has spent decades pretending not to hear the warning sirens. Released in March 2026 and already a runaway Amazon bestseller, this is no dry academic treatise. It is a searing, data-heavy indictment of how Britain — once one o...
AFL legend Gary Ablett senior has unleashed at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for bringing in a record number of immigrants while Aussies can't afford homes. The sporting icon, once dubbed "God" by adoring fans, released a 37-minute YouTube video on Friday night titled "Treason, corruption and deception within the Australian Parliament" where he t...
The rise of One Nation and the party's relative success in last weekend's South Australian election – gaining over 22% of the primary vote and surpassing the Liberal Party on 19% – has led to the usual outrage, equivocation and evasion by Australia's media and cultural establishment. How could this happen? These things are simply not meant to occur...
