Australians are being slowly strangled by taxation, and governments seem determined to tighten the noose. The process is not always dramatic. There is no single confiscatory tax that suddenly reduces everyone to poverty. Instead, there is an accumulating burden of income taxes, land taxes, council rates, consumption taxes, duties, levies and regula...
The Albanese government has decided against supporting any narrowing of the terrorism definition that would remove "religion" as a standalone motive category in the Criminal Code. Independent National Security Legislation Monitor Jake Blight is expected to recommend, in a report due around 20 November 2026, that violent religious extremism be absor...
There is something deeply ironic about Google, one of the greatest corporate collectors of personal information in human history, warning the Australian government that its proposed online safety legislation threatens to establish a system of mass surveillance. Yet that is precisely what has happened. And on this occasion, Google has a powerful arg...
Humans contribute just 4% of the carbon dioxide that enters the Earth's atmosphere each year but the 'settled' science of anthropogenic climate change states that this has caused a 50% rise in the trace gas since pre-industrial times. In fact, this arguable statement can be tested using carbon isotope data and the results are in from a detailed mat...
When an election produces outcomes that run completely counter to historical precedent, polling baselines, and raw mathematical probability, the dispute ceases to be a conventional political debate and transforms into an indictment of the process itself. The case asserting that this midterm was systematically subverted rests upon four primary pilla...
The US Democrats have barely finished celebrating their victories in the November 2026 midterm elections, yet some of their leading figures are already talking about what they intend to do to their defeated Republican opponents. The language is not that of reconciliation or national healing. It is the language of subpoenas, investigations, impeachm...
China supplied nearly 1,000 Islamic headscarves handed to illegal migrants by Britain this year, GB News can reveal. Labour has been accused of allowing Beijing to "profit at both ends" of the UK's migrant crisis after it emerged people smugglers were sourcing boats from China to ferry asylum seekers across the English Channel and break into the co...
The Telegraph piece reports that HMRC's information powers are set to expand under the Budget Bill (expected to become law by the end of May). Currently HMRC can demand computer "records" via Schedule 36 notices when checking a taxpayer's position. The new wording broadens this to any "relevant thing" in digital systems and extends the reach to thi...
India's air pollution crisis has reached proportions that should shock the world. In the days following Diwali in November 2026, live air-quality rankings reportedly showed that as many as 99 of the world's 100 most polluted cities were in India. The precise rankings fluctuate from hour to hour, but the broader picture is unmistakable. Vast areas o...
There comes a point in the life of a civilisation when its greatest danger is no longer the existence of particular problems, but its loss of the capacity to solve them. Institutions continue functioning, governments hold elections, politicians announce reforms, experts publish reports and bureaucracies devise elaborate new programs. Yet the fundam...
Donald Trump may believe that his continuing naval blockade of Iran offers a relatively inexpensive means of maintaining pressure upon Tehran without resuming a major military campaign. But this strategy could prove to be one of the most dangerous gambles of his presidency. Economic warfare is still warfare, and a blockade that progressively damage...
Friedrich Hayek's great warning in The Road to Serfdom, published in 1944, was that the destruction of economic freedom need not arrive through a communist revolution or a military dictatorship. It could proceed gradually, through apparently reasonable government interventions, each justified as necessary for the public good. The danger was not sim...
The Victorian Coalition's decision to place One Nation ahead of Labor on how-to-vote cards is less a grand ideological embrace than a late recognition of arithmetic. Opposition Leader Jess Wilson confirmed the Liberals and Nationals will put Labor, the Greens and the Victorian Socialists at the bottom in most seats, with One Nation higher up. Excep...
This topic will not be covered in the Australian lamestream press and I have seen no mention yet in the alternative pro-freedom media. So here is some material to get the ball going: https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/so-much-fraud It seems substack is asking for age-verification ID on this now, which is absurd because there is nothing harmful to del...
The US Constitution was written by people who distrusted temporary majorities. Equal state representation in the Senate, the Electoral College, life-tenured judges, and state control of elections were deliberate brakes. Changing those rules requires the amendment process, which demands broad agreement across the states. A cluster of proposals long ...
Australia's overall total fertility rate has hit a historic low of roughly 1.5 births per woman, and the general nationwide trend is a downward slope due to cost of living and housing pressures. However, demographic data shows that the opposite is true for one community. The Muslim community's birthrate remains a notable exception to this broader n...
Russell Brand has been sentenced to ten years and six months in prison after a jury convicted him of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women between 2004 and 2009. The judge described him as a "sexual predator" who believed fame allowed him to act as he liked. He was acquitted of other charges. Brand will ser...
The numbers come first. Democrats took the House with roughly 250 seats to the Republicans' 157. They took the Senate 54–44, flipping seven seats: Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina and Ohio. Texas had not sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1988; Kansas not since 1932. It was the first time since 1954 that a party tha...
A circulating clip shows Muslim speakers celebrating Democratic midterm results in Texas and declaring that Dallas should become "the Medina of America." One line is blunt: "We're Muslim, and that's why we want Islam for this country." Medina, in Islamic history, was not merely a place of worship. It was the city where Muhammad established a ...
One of the most devastating critiques of modern government intervention was written nearly forty years ago by the American sociologist Peter H. Rossi. His 1987 paper, The Iron Law of Evaluation and Other Metallic Rules, should be compulsory reading for every politician, bureaucrat and policy adviser who believes that society can be improved simply ...
