One of the most interesting voices in Australia's great immigration and multiculturalism debates of the 1980s has almost disappeared from public memory. Professor L. J. M. Cooray did not fit the script. He could not conveniently be dismissed as an Anglo-Australian nostalgic fearful of foreigners, because Cooray himself had been born in Sri Lanka an...

"Multiculturalism" is a convenient catchword borrowed from Canadian politics to represent a vague set of ideas which purportedly promotes the cultural and economic interests of certain non-Anglomorph sections of the Australian community. If proponents of multiculturalism are asked to describe the concept it is likely that there will be as many desc...

A Rasmussen and Our Republic survey of 1,026 likely voters, taken on 20 September 2026, found that 21 percent of voters overall have a mostly or somewhat positive view of sharia, against 57 percent negative. Among voters aged 18 to 24 the positive share is 43 percent. Among those aged 25 to 29 it is 39 percent. That is the "four in ten." A second q...

For years, major Western corporations have behaved as though their primary business was not selling products but instructing the public in the latest progressive political orthodoxies. Advertising campaigns became vehicles for ideological messaging, corporate executives adopted the language of social activism, and customers were increasingly expect...

Virginia State University is being sued for putting Christian student groups under a university minister while leaving the Muslim Students Association alone. The core of that claim is in the complaint. A court has not yet decided it. On 24 September 2026, Alliance Defending Freedom filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virgin...

One of the most fascinating discoveries in modern neuroscience is that the brain possesses an elaborate system for disposing of metabolic waste, a process that may be particularly important in protecting against cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease. We have long understood that the brain consumes enormous quantities of energy and consequ...

Victoria has spent years being told that the crime was a perception. The arsons were a regulatory problem. The home invasions were complex. The empty police stations were a workforce challenge. One Nation's Victorian policy, released ahead of the November election, is the first document in this campaign that treats the pattern as a single failure a...

One of the great ironies of modern nutritional thinking is that we have spent decades worrying about the supposed dangers of particular foods while paying insufficient attention to the essential nutrients those same foods provide. Eggs, red meat, liver and other animal products became objects of suspicion during the long campaign against dietary ch...

Ronald Kostoff's essay in Trial Site News starts from a plain observation. Between 2020 and about 2023, governments in the United States closed or restricted businesses, schools, churches, courts, workplaces, travel, ordinary medical care, public meetings and private gatherings. They imposed masking, distancing, quarantine, testing and vaccination ...

The peril is not that Gen Z is unemployable. It is that they are entering hired labour at the moment when the old bargain has already been cancelled, and a large share of them have not noticed. The surveys that keep circulating are manager surveys, which is both their use and their limit. ResumeBuilder found that about three-quarters of managers sa...

Australians of a certain age will remember Clayton's, the non-alcoholic drink marketed with the memorable advertising slogan, "The drink you have when you're not having a drink." It became part of Australian popular culture, with the word "Clayton's" entering everyday language to describe something that was supposedly one thing but was, in reality,...

OpenAI is half right, and the half that is right is the part that feels wrong to us Aussies. US law can let a company copy Australian work inside the United States without asking, even when Australian law would not. That is not a loophole invented for chatbots. It is how copyright has worked for a century. It is also not the blank cheque the hearin...

Trump has caused his usual weekly fire-storm for the mainstream media by stating what needs to be stated: "What's happening in France is nothing less than out of control mass migration. This isn't about schools, this is about Islam wanting to take over a once great Country! President DJT" Certainly true, but, wait, there is more! It is not just sec...

Angus Taylor has put a number on the table because Pauline Hanson already put a harder one there. The Coalition plan, launched this week, would take net overseas migration from about 292,000 down to 100,000 in year one and year two, then let it climb to 160,000 by year four. Temporary visa holders, students and graduates in particular, would be cut...

False rape reports, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center said in 2009, are 2 to 8 percent of reports, drawn from "methodologically rigorous research." That range is now the number people quote when they want the subject closed. A new examination in Aporia, by Aaron Dymarskiy, Alden Whitfeld and TheLawOfAverages, goes back to the studies und...

 John Cleese is 86, and the British state has been invited to treat him as a radicalisation risk. Not for a bomb plot. For jokes and sentences about a religion. He has replied in the only register that still fits the country: "I can't wait to be arrested. This is a real-life sitcom. Please tell the police to contact my agent." The referral wen...

 Michael Snyder is sounding the alarm again, this time about global food supplies in 2027. Snyder is an unapologetic pessimist, and his articles characteristically assemble every dark cloud on the horizon into one enormous approaching storm. That is reason to check the ingredients before accepting the forecast. Unfortunately, several of the in...

 There is a story about human evolution that has been repeated so often that it has stopped sounding like an argument and started sounding like a fact. Our ancestors mastered fire and began cooking. Cooked food was easier to digest and yielded more usable energy. That extra energy helped support larger brains. As food became softer and easier ...

 Maybe not, but there certainly seems to be a problem of rapists on board, explaining why there are few women seen in the boats of illegals: "Nearly all women who attempt to reach the UK in small boats from northern France are raped on their journey, Shabana Mahmoud, the Home Secretary, has said. The Mail has the story. In an interview with Th...

Police have 'locked down' an entire town to stop unrest by setting up a dispersal zone covering the whole of Gosport following protests sparked by the arrival of a migrant boat using a 'new route' from Normandy. The Mail has more. The order means anyone gathering in the Hampshire town of Gosport who does not leave when instructed to do so by a poli...
