Present in a Sydney panel that could double as a masterclass in diplomatic bluntness, Australia's inaugural Anti-Slavery Commissioner Chris Evans didn't mince words: Donald Trump's import bans are "the most effective" tool on the planet for dismantling forced labor in global supply chains. Evans, a former Labor heavyweight with two decades in...
Picture this: It's a crisp October evening in Baltimore, the kind where football practice leaves you starving and the only drama should be debating ranch versus nacho cheese. Sixteen-year-old Taki Allen, a Black high schooler at Kenwood High, crumples his half-eaten bag of Doritos, stuffs it in his pocket, and relaxes with friends outside the stadi...
Halloween is over, but the real horror show is just getting started on America's college campuses, where the monster under the bed isn't a ghost, it's a thermostat. Kamala Harris spilled the beans in a recent interview: her goddaughter, a junior at a top university, is paralysed by climate anxiety. She's not alone. Surveys show seventy percent of G...
On October 31, 2025, President Donald J. Trump dropped a bombshell on Truth Social: Nigeria's now a "Country of Particular Concern" (CPC) due to the "existential threat" to Christianity there, with "thousands of Christians... being killed" by "radical Islamists." He cited 3,100 Nigerian deaths against 4,476 worldwide, tasked Congressman Riley Moore...
If advertising is the mirror of society, as the old quip goes, then Denmark's latest state-funded spot for the science series Evolution is a funhouse reflection: warped, unsettling, and screaming for a fact-check. Re-aired this October on public broadcaster DR (originally from 2020), the 30-second clip interrupts a flirty white Danish couple with a...
Here in a world where "misinformation" is the buzzword du jour, few stories expose the rot in our scientific bedrock quite like Study 329. This isn't some dusty footnote; it's a live wire, sparking a fresh lawsuit that's dragging a 24-year-old paper on the antidepressant Paxil (paroxetine) back into the courtroom. As Paul D. Thacker laid out in his...
Trump did it in Washington. Musk is doing it in Silicon Valley. It's our turn to take on the bureaucratic beast devouring Australia! Isn't it amazing how the cost of living crisis seems to affect everybody apart from our bureaucrats… While the Australian people are struggling to pay their bills, there seems to be more than enough money for bu...
Let's consider the knife attacks on a train near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, on November 1, 2025. With ten people hospitalised, two in life-threatening condition, and arrests made, the focus has shifted to why it took the British Transport Police (BTP) until Sunday morning to disclose the ethnic backgrounds of the suspects. Critics, including Shado...
The National Party's Federal Council just voted to torch their net-zero emissions commitment by 2050, compelling MPs to rubber-stamp it at the party room huddle. It's a seismic shift from the Coalition's half-hearted hug of the target, and spot-on timing. As one delegate put it, it's time to "abandon" the mandate that's been strangling regional Aus...
On October 30, 2025, President Trump dropped a bombshell (pun very intended): He's ordered the Pentagon to kick off nuclear testing "immediately," ending a 33-year dry spell since the U.S. last lit one up in 1992. The goal? Catch up to Russia and China, who aren't exactly sitting on their hands. Critics are howling, proliferation panic, arms race f...
Aluminium in vaccines. Yes, that lightweight metal we love in soda cans and airplane wings. It's also hitching a ride in shots designed to keep our little ones safe from everything from whooping cough to hepatitis. But as the Trump administration's new push to scrutinise it hits the headlines, complete with NPR fretting that scientists are "worried...
Here in an era where artificial intelligence is both a dazzling promise and a shadowy spectre, Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares deliver a book that doesn't just whisper warnings, it thunders them with the clarity and urgency of a fire alarm in a crowded theatre. If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All (Little, Brown...
Every week, more Australians are waking up to the sneaky and deliberate rollout of the Digital ID system — and many of you are seeing it first hand. Last week, one of our readers — an accountant— wrote to us saying: "I was forced to 'consent' to Digital ID to access the ATO Tax Agent Portal. They said it was just a new name — from MyGovID to MyID —...
Dwelling in the shadow of Big Ben, where the ghosts of John Milton and John Stuart Mill once debated the unassailable right to speak one's mind, a quiet erosion is underway. Felix Ngole, a 47-year-old Black social worker from Barnsley, stands at the Employment Appeal Tribunal in London, not as a revolutionary, but as a grandfather pleading for the ...
Whenever you delve into the modern history of internal national conflict you're bound to come across post-crisis accounts from people who said "We never saw it coming…" or "The violence hit us from nowhere…" Generally speaking, these were the people who weren't paying attention and they just happened to survive by sheer luck. I think of this dynami...
Germany, once the envy of Europe for its economic might and social order, is crumbling under the weight of a grand experiment gone horribly wrong. The numbers don't lie: In 2024 alone, 63,977 women fell victim to sexual violence, with foreigners, comprising just 15% of the population, accounting for 35% of perpetrators. Syrians, Afghans, and Turks ...
This is a truth that's been simmering for decades: the shift from "ethnocentric" to "racist" isn't linguistic evolution, it's ideological escalation. Both terms serve the same purpose: to shame anyone daring to notice that not all cultures are equal. The Left's gospel of cultural relativism insists every society is just "different," never better or...
In the quiet aftermath of a storm that reshaped lives and liberties, Covid Through Our Eyes: An Australian Story of Mistakes, Mistreatment and Misinformation (Halstead Press, 2025) emerges as a beacon of unflinching clarity. Edited by Emeritus Professor Robert Clancy AM, a pioneering immunologist with over 300 publications and a lifetime's expertis...
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's latest broadside? Blasting President Trump for "shutting down" the government to starve poor Americans of food stamps (SNAP benefits), calling it "vindictive and heartless" while conveniently dodging the mirror. It's a classic Left playbook: Weaponise empathy for the vulnerable to mask their own stonewalling. ...
In June 2025, Prime Minister Keir Starmer finally caved to mounting pressure and announced a national inquiry into the UK's grooming gangs scandal, a horror show of systemic child sexual exploitation that has scarred towns like Rotherham, Rochdale, and Oldham for decades. What should have been a beacon of accountability has instead devolved into a ...
