Under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor government, Australia, once celebrated as the "Lucky Country," has been driven into a state of economic despair that feels more akin to a Third-World nation. A recent Salvation Army survey paints a harrowing picture: 55% of Australians seeking charity assistance are skipping meals, 57% cannot afford pre...
Eric Metaxas' Is Atheism Dead? (Salem Books, 2021) is a fervent apologetic work that confronts the cultural ascendancy of atheism, arguing that modern science, archaeology, and reason point unmistakably to the God of the Christian faith. Writing with the passion of a believer and the wit of a seasoned communicator, Metaxas seeks to embolden Christi...
Australia faces an existential threat in the Indo-Pacific, and our current defence strategy is woefully inadequate. China's military, growing at a pace unseen since World War II, casts a long shadow over our region. With a nuclear arsenal projected to exceed 1,000 warheads by 2030, a navy wielding nuclear-powered supercarriers, and advanced a...
As I sit in my cosy kitchen, sipping tea and gazing lovingly at the bottle of canola oil on my counter, I can't help but marvel at how something so ordinary has stirred up such a fuss. Seed oils, canola, sunflower, soybean, and the like, have been in our pantries for years, used for frying up Sunday breakfast or drizzling over a fresh garden salad....
I like to throw in a lesson to my physics students about how climate scientist get even basic atmospheric and ground-based physics, such as sea ice melting, wrong. Here in an easy-to-read lecture note fashion, because this is what I have taken are my thoughts on the shonky science behind climate change alarmism. This science trip is relevant since ...
Venus co-orbital asteroids are celestial bodies that share Venus's orbital path around the Sun, locked in a 1:1 mean-motion resonance. Currently, 20 such asteroids are known, but only one has an orbital eccentricity below 0.38, likely due to observational biases favouring the detection of asteroids with higher eccentricities (meaning how much the o...
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to reshape the white-collar job market, particularly for entry-level roles in fields like technology, finance, law, and consulting. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has warned that AI could eliminate up to 50% of these jobs within one to five years, potentially spiking unemployment to 10-20%...
Left-wing terrorism, rooted in ideologies like anarchism, Marxism, and anti-capitalism, has been a recurring force across history, often overshadowed by other forms of extremism but no less disruptive. From the 19th century to today, Leftist groups have used violence to challenge state power, capitalism, and perceived injustices, leaving a trail of...
Picture this: a quaint German biergarten, the air thick with the tangy whiff of sauerkraut, lederhosen-clad locals clinking steins, and a faint, eerie greenish glow emanating from the cabbage. Why the glow? Well, according to RT's firebrand editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan, Germany's flirting with sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine could turn Be...
The idea that taxation is a necessary evil, a civic duty, or even a pathway to social good is deeply ingrained in our collective consciousness. We're told it funds essential services, builds infrastructure, and supports those in need. But what if we peel back these layers of assumed legitimacy and confront a more uncomfortable truth: that taxation,...
Your thoughts are not safe. Your choices? Maybe not your own. What if the government and faceless corporations are wielding technology so sinister it can hijack your brain without a trace? This isn't a sci-fi thriller, it's the chilling reality unfolding right now, and we're the target. For years, the darkest corners of the internet have buzzed wit...
Donald Trump's trade policy, particularly his unapologetic use of tariffs, is among the most controversial and misunderstood aspects of his presidency. Critics call it protectionist, economically reckless, and outdated. Yet from another vantage point, one rooted in strategic realism, economic self-determination, and the interests of domestic labour...
On May 29, 1453, the sun rose on a city that had stood as the jewel of Christian civilisation for over a thousand years, and by nightfall, it was lost. That morning, the city of Constantinople, the ancient heart of Eastern Christendom and the last remnant of the Roman Empire, fell to the armies of the 21-year-old Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II. For many ...

Organised crime networks, including those with links to Chinese nationals, have increasingly been implicated in global sex trafficking operations, with significant activity reported in the United States and Australia.

The rapid rise of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in American (and Western) universities, particularly since the 2020 George Floyd protests, has fundamentally altered the academic landscape, often at the expense of meritocracy and intellectual rigor. While initially framed as a means to foster inclusivity, DEI has morphed into a ...
The narrative of Western decline, as articulated by Jim Davis in his American Thinker article, "Decline of the West: Cultural Values Edition," paints a dire picture of a civilisation unravelling under the weight of eroding Christian values, unchecked immigration, and ideological subversion by Marxist and Islamist influences. Davis argues that Europ...
The air in rural Victoria isn't just carrying the scent of recent rains or dry dust anymore. It's thick with outrage. Because come July 1, 2025, Victoria's new Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund (ESVF) levy isn't just going to hit wallets, it's going to hit us like a freight train, and it's leaving a trail of disbelief and fury in its wak...
The internet loves a scandal, and few are as persistent as the baseless speculation about Brigitte Macron's gender. Fuelled by viral videos and clickbait headlines, the question "Is Brigitte Macron a man?" has become a bizarre fixation for some on the political Right. But let's be clear: there's no evidence to support this claim. It's a distraction...
The recent firing of Francesca Gino, a prominent Harvard Business School professor known for her research on honesty and ethical behavior, marks a striking moment of irony in modern academia.
