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...
A new US Senate bill marketed as "common-sense guardrails" on military AI use is quietly doing the opposite. Introduced on March 17, 2026, by Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), the AI Guardrails Act of 2026 (S.4113) claims to restrict the Pentagon from deploying dangerous AI applications. Yet buried in its language is a sweeping waiver provision ...
On April 1, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, the high-stakes challenge to President Trump's Executive Order 14,160. Issued on his first day back in office, the order directs federal agencies not to recognise automatic U.S. citizenship for children born after February 19, 2025, if neither parent is a U.S. citize...
The sudden uproar over photos of Bryon Noem — husband of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — dressing up with balloon-stuffed tops and tight outfits to chat with online fetish models, feels almost surreal in 2026. Here we have a private citizen (albeit married to a high-profile conservative figure) engaging in consensual adult cross-dr...
One can easily picture President Trump humming the iconic Fleetwood Mac riff from "Go Your Own Way" as he fired off his latest Truth Social broadside. Lindsey Buckingham's raw lyrics about breaking free from a dysfunctional dynamic perfectly capture the moment: "You can go your own way… go your own way." In the aftermath of America's decisive milit...
In a landmark 8-1 ruling on March 31, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court stood firmly on the side of the First Amendment, rejecting Colorado's ban on certain forms of talk therapy for minors struggling with issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for the majority, made it clear: the state cannot use its licen...
Australia is confronting a stark reminder of its vulnerabilities in global supply chains. Wesfarmers, one of the country's largest agribusiness players, has urged the federal government to intervene directly with Beijing to secure critical fertiliser supplies amid growing shortages. At the same time, billionaire Vikas Rambal, chairman of Perdaman G...
Australia's world-first ban on social media for under-16s sounded decisive when it kicked in on 10 December 2025. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube were told to take "reasonable steps" to block accounts for anyone younger than 16. The goal was clear and supposedly compassionate: protect developing brains from p...
Walk down any aisle in your local Australian supermarket and the evidence stares back at you in bright packaging. Rows of colourful boxes, frozen ready-meals, sugary drinks, extruded snacks, and "healthier" reformulated bars — most of it ultra-processed food (UPF), what critics rightly call "Frankenstein food." These products are not simply cooked ...
As the US-Israeli campaign against Iran — Operation Epic Fury — enters its second month in late March 2026, a senior former Pakistani official has issued a blunt alert. Moeed Yusuf, Pakistan's former National Security Adviser, warned that if no off-ramp is found quickly, this conflict risks becoming what future historians will label World War III. ...
The article from Counter-Currents (March 25, 2026, by Greg Johnson, Part 1 of a series) makes a measured case against conspiracism as a dominant lens for understanding history and current events. It acknowledges that real conspiracies happen — secret plots, collusion for power, cover-ups — but argues they don't explain everything, and treating them...
The article from Mercola.com (dated March 25, 2026) argues that high-fat diets, particularly those heavy in the style of keto or carnivore, can impair metabolic health over time, even if they produce short-term weight loss. It cites studies suggesting reduced insulin sensitivity, altered glucose handling, mitochondrial dysfunction, increased inflam...
Mike Adams has given an interesting take on how civilisation collapse is threatening to occur, and what can be done. It is always sound strategy to plan for the worst, but hope for the best: It's Time to Upgrade Your Survival Plans I write this not as a detached observer, but as someone who has spent decades docume...
Roughly a decade ago, hundreds of millions of people poured into the streets chasing cartoon creatures through their phones. It was sold as nostalgia, exercise, harmless fun. A cultural moment. A digital Easter egg hunt layered over reality. But like many things in the modern economy, the surface story was the least important one. Underneath, somet...
While this issue has been mentioned at the blog, I would like to circle back to it, as Iran's nuclear ambitions are highly relevant to the present war. There is a particular genre of Western reporting that treats geopolitics like a soap opera with amnesia. Each episode begins anew. Characters have no memory, motives are rediscovered, and long-runni...
