Over the last decade, Australia, like many western countries, has fallen many points on the World Democracy Index. We are now 0.85 points from being a flawed democracy. Nine years of Liberals from 2013 started the slide and Labor continued from 2022 onwards. Since 2001 this includes approximately 100+ new counterterrorism laws , many of which remov...
Europe may be enduring the first blast of what commentators have dubbed the "Godzilla El Niño," but Australian farmers would be making a serious mistake if they dismissed it as someone else's problem. While Europeans battle extreme summer heat, the real test for Australia is still months away. If current forecasts prove correct, the coming spring a...
Australians are again being told that power prices are falling. Regulators point to lower default market offers, politicians point to reductions in benchmark prices, and energy experts assure us that relief is finally on the way. Yet millions of households continue to experience a very different reality when the bill arrives. The latest controversy...
For generations, leaving the family home marked the transition into adulthood. Young Australians found work, rented a modest flat or unit, saved a deposit, and eventually purchased a home of their own. It was not always easy, but it was possible. Today that pathway is becoming increasingly difficult, with growing numbers of young adults remaining i...
Wayne Root's recent column cuts to the heart of lingering public distrust: why is Dr. Anthony Fauci not facing serious accountability for his central role in America's, and the world's, catastrophic COVID-19 response? After years of shifting guidance, suppressed debate, and institutional stonewalling, the evidence warrants a thorough public reckoni...
The escalation ladder in Ukraine just got several rungs shorter. Reports confirm Western long-range missiles, supplied by the US, UK, and allies, are now striking deep inside Russia, targeting military infrastructure far from the front lines. This marks a dangerous shift from defensive aid to direct participation in offensive operations on Russian ...
A sobering new Norwegian study lays bare the human cost of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, particularly among young people. Published in Open Heart, the research by Bendik Skinningsrud Hagen and colleagues reveals that 74% of new myocarditis cases were linked to vaccination, while only 4.2% were associated with actual COVID-19 infection. This is...
Spain stands at a crossroads, and the Left-wing government of Pedro Sánchez is steering it straight toward the abyss. While much of Europe tightens borders in response to migration pressures, Spain's Socialists (PSOE) and their allies push ahead with extraordinary regularisations, offering legal status to hundreds of thousands, potentially over a m...
The West is facing a slow-motion civilizational crisis, and mass immigration from the Global South is accelerating it. While native birth rates in Europe, North America, and Australia have collapsed well below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman, elites insist the solution is to import millions more from culturally distant, often lower-...
Limitarianism, the fashionable idea in moral philosophy that no one should be allowed to accumulate "too much" wealth, is gaining traction among academics and Left-wing commentators. Proponents argue that extreme riches are inherently bad for society, that billionaires, and now trillionaires, represent a moral crisis, and that governments should im...
Few organisations enjoy a reputation for humanitarian commitment quite like Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). For decades, the organisation has been regarded as one of the world's leading providers of medical assistance in conflict zones, disaster areas, and refugee camps. Its staff have often worked under dange...
One Nation has unleashed a devastating political offensive against Anthony Albanese and the Labor government, and the results have been nothing short of stunning. The "Fire the Liar" campaign, built around a simple, hard-hitting slogan and funded by an extraordinary grassroots surge, has raised over $4 million in days from tens of thousands of ordi...
H.L. Mencken captured the dark art of governance with brutal precision: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary." In an era of 24/7 media, algorithmic amplification, and technocratic elites, this strategy has reached ind...
Open your latest electricity bill. Scroll past the usage figures, the cents per kilowatt-hour you actually consumed, and look at the daily supply charge. In Victoria right now, that fixed fee often sits between 90 cents and $1.50 or more per day. For many households it adds up to $330–$550 a year before you turn on a single light! That line item is...
For more than a decade Australians have been told that wind power would deliver a future of abundant, cheap, and clean electricity. Vast wind farms stretching across the landscape and giant offshore turbines rising from the ocean were presented as symbols of technological progress. Yet despite billions of dollars in investment, subsidies, transmiss...
Australia's migration system is no longer merely strained: it is broken and operating beyond effective national control. New figures reveal a staggering one million person visa surge in recent years, exposing a program that has spiralled into dysfunction and is delivering exactly the outcomes open-borders globalists celebrate, even as ordinary Aust...
Governments never seize power outright anymore. They offer it wrapped in compassion. The latest Trojan horse is the noble-sounding crusade to "protect children" from social media. In the UK, plans to ban under-16s from major platforms are being sold as urgent child safety measures. But critics are right to sound the alarm: this is the perfect prete...
Australian universities were once among the last true bastions of open inquiry, places where dangerous, unpopular, or even offensive ideas could be dragged into the light, dissected, and tested without fear of reprisal … supposedly. Their sacred duty was not to indoctrinate students with the "correct" opinions, but to arm them with the tools of rea...
Men account for three out of every four suicides in the UK: a stark, unchanging statistic that should shame a society pretending to care about equality and mental health. Yet instead of addressing the root causes, mainstream culture continues to push the narrative that masculinity itself is toxic, something to be pathologised, suppressed, and re-ed...
A global famine has been baked into our near future by a combination of deliberate policy decisions and geopolitical brinkmanship. The United States is openly threatening war with Iran, and if that conflict closes the Strait of Hormuz for an extended duration, the world loses 20 percent of its oil supply for months or years to come [update, this is...
