The Turin case that just detonated across Italy is almost too perfect as an illustration. A 42-year-old Bangladeshi shopkeeper sexually assaults a 13-year-old girl in his convenience store. The whole thing is on CCTV. But wait: forty minutes earlier, the same cameras caught him assaulting an adult woman. Two attacks. Same man. Same day. Same shop. ...
"The problem is that once the government gets the right to ban speech they don't like, it never stops." Harry Richardson, President of the British Australian Community, speaking at the Sydney Free Speech Rally on 30 August 2026: First, an acknowledgement. The BAC would like to acknowledge the Anglo explorers, the pioneers...
"Multiculturalism's advocates present their agenda in terms of enhancing diversity.By diversity they mean more variety, not what the DEI advocates mean by the word–replacement of merit by some definition of privilege, such as race, gender, sexual preference. The goal of multiculturalism is miscegenation.The result is the disappearance of diversity ...
Gender archaeology began with a legitimate complaint. Archaeologists had too often looked at weapons and declared a skeleton male, looked at jewellery and declared it female, then used those classifications to prove that men fought while women adorned themselves. That was circular reasoning, and the newer archaeology was right to attack it. The dif...
There is something peculiar about the Lindsay Clancy mistrial that has received surprisingly little attention. Almost everyone discussing the extraordinary 11–1 deadlock has begun from the same assumption: the eleven jurors were accurately describing what the twelfth juror was doing. But why should we assume that? The distinction matters because th...
Same crime. Same exercise bands. Same basement. Same three dead children. Same paralysed mother in a wheelchair. Same postpartum psychosis defense. Same procession of psychiatric experts. Same pink-clad women outside the courthouse with "Believe" and "She Needed Help." One difference: a recording surfaces. Lindsay Clancy filmed the killings, ...
After One Nation's Secret Harbour result, a rational government would treat the vote as information: housing stress, migration scale, energy bills, and a public that no longer buys the official story. Anthony Albanese's reflex, as Macrobusiness lays out, is still to sledge the voters as misinformed, and, when the subject is immigration, to let the ...
US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio's line this week was not a slogan. It was an autopsy. After the Cold War, he said, America bought a fantasy: that where things are made no longer matters; that the cheapest factory on earth should win; that profits and consumer prices would civilise the planet into a chain of free-enterprise democracies that "look...
The argument that dare not speak its name is not Left versus Right. It is whether a people are allowed to prefer its own continuation. Every durable order, tribe, city, church, nation, treated survival of this group as a duty. Children, borders, memory, law, and force existed so that a particular way of life would still be there in a hundred years....
Australians have long understood that dangerous things come out of holes. We have funnel-web spiders, snakes under the veranda, goannas appearing where no goanna was invited, and assorted creatures capable of converting an innocent trip to the garden shed into an emergency-department admission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjDAiq2-xeU. Americans...
"In Australia, the distance between each end of the dumbbell and the passion of the opposing positions is illustrated by the Prime Minister's reaction to One Nation's win in the Secret Harbour by-election. This week Anthony Albanese rounded on right-wing populists "peddling dangerous, divisive and dishonest" politics. He said: "They will say anythi...
Mark Zuckerberg's Kauai holdings: Koolau Ranch and the land around it, are the cleanest picture we have of the rich man's answer to collapse. Public reporting has put the original project in the region of $270 million and about 1,400 acres, later expanded. Two mansions, a tunnel, an underground shelter on the order of 5,000 square feet, heavy doors...
OpenAI has launched GPT-6 Astra, and company president Greg Brockman has supplied the headline that the artificial-intelligence industry has been waiting years to print: "Welcome to the AGI era." Asked whether artificial general intelligence had finally arrived, Brockman went further, saying that personally he thought "we're there." Perhaps, he sug...
Arynne Wexler is right. The women of Iran are waging the most consequential women's revolt of this century, and Western feminism treated it as an inconvenience. They are not fighting over pronouns, corporate boards, or who gets to use which locker room. They are fighting a theocratic police state that beats, jails, and kills women for showing their...
The paper is real. Published in Perspectives on Psychological Science, authored by Clark, Fjeldmark, Lu, Baumeister, Ceci, and others, a survey of 470 U.S. psychology professors was conducted. And the headline number is devastating: 66.4% of male professors said scientists should prioritise truth when truth and social equity come into conflict. Onl...
For Australians who have not followed the Lindsay Clancy case in Massachusetts, the ending of this extraordinary trial raises questions extending well beyond the terrible deaths at its centre; profound questions about legal evidence are raised highly relevant to all common law jurisdictions such as Australia. Clancy admitted killing her three young...
If Massachusetts retries Lindsay Clancy for killing her three children, the Commonwealth should not simply rerun Trial One with different jurors. It needs a different theory of presentation. The first trial became overwhelmingly a battle of psychiatrists. Postpartum psychosis, depression, medications, hospitalisation, delusions, mental-health treat...
The Clancy jury in Plymouth, Massachusetts, was just dismissed from a mistrial. Seven days of deliberation, three notes to the judge, one holdout who refused to budge, and Lindsay Clancy walks away from a first-degree murder conviction, at least for now. Three children strangled with exercise bands in a Duxbury basement. Cora, five. Dawson, three. ...
"A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push." Ludwig Wittgenstein, (1889-1951), Culture and Value: https://www.amazon.com.au/Culture-Value-Ludwig-Wittgenstein/dp/0226904350 Wittgenstein's line is almost a joke until you notice how much of modern life...
Kevin You's warning (link below) is that Victoria is no longer a local embarrassment but a template. Per-person GDP has gone backwards for ten of the fifteen quarters to March 2026. Real wages in the private sector have been eaten by inflation while public-sector pay has kept pace. Average private pay sits around $78,000; public pay above $10...
