For decades, Australian voters have been presented with a comforting fiction: the choice between Labor and the Liberal-Nationals represents a genuine contest of ideas, a battle between Left and Right that keeps the country balanced and democratic. Election after election, the major parties trade power, promise reform, and deliver more of the same. ...

President Donald Trump has never been one for understatement when it comes to his business dealings, and his latest financial disclosure has thrown fresh fuel on the fire. According to reports, Trump-affiliated entities pulled in more than $1.4 billion in 2025 from cryptocurrency ventures, including over $500 million tied to World Liberty Financial...

In July 2026, British policing has descended into levels of absurdity and authoritarian overreach that would have seemed like dystopian satire just a few years ago. A recent incident captured on video shows officers cracking down on what they apparently view as a dangerous new public menace: people standing around doing nothing. In a public square ...

Whenever governments fail, the political class offers the same tired prescription: we simply need better government. Elect different politicians. Recruit more experts. Establish another regulator. Create another department. Pass another law. The underlying assumption is never questioned. Government itself is presumed to be the solution. Only its cu...

As the United States marks its 250th anniversary in 2026, the occasion feels less like a simple celebration and more like a reckoning. Fireworks will light up the skies, commemorative coins will circulate, and politicians from across the spectrum will deliver speeches invoking the Founding Fathers. Yet beneath the pageantry runs a quieter, more uns...

 For over 50 years, thousands of people worldwide, from Melbourne, New Mexico, to the UK, Canada, and beyond, have reported hearing a persistent, maddening low-frequency hum. It sounds like a distant idling diesel engine, a throbbing vibration, or a deep drone. It's often worse at night, indoors, and in quiet environments. It disrupts sleep, c...

The Spectator's recent piece (linked below), on the resurgence of America's radical Left captures a disturbing trend visible across the Anglosphere. What was once fringe: explicit socialism, identity-based redistribution, and hostility to classical liberal institutions, has gained significant traction, particularly among younger generations. Polls ...

       - Australia's Family Court has been taken over. Britain is next. Twenty-five years ago, a dad from Fathers4Justice decided the best way to draw attention to the anti-male bias in the UK family court system was to put on a Spider-Man costume and dangle on a crane over Tower Bridge for six days. He'd been refused access to ...

Governments around the world continue to assure citizens that digital identity systems are being introduced for our own convenience and protection. We are told they will reduce fraud, simplify access to government services, streamline banking, improve healthcare and make everyday life easier. Presented this way, digital ID appears to be little more...

The Australian government is pushing yet another layer of control over the internet with the proposed Digital Duty of Care. Sold as a sensible measure to protect users from "harm," this legislation would empower regulators; most likely the already notorious eSafety Commissioner or an entirely new censorship bureaucracy, to force digital platforms t...

Recently I found myself trying to trace some old school friends from the early 1970s. The exercise began as little more than nostalgia. Surely, I thought, after more than fifty years there would be some trace of them online. A university profile. A newspaper article. A business website. A social media account. Something. Instead, I found almost not...

US President Theodore Roosevelt's words cut straight through the comfortable haze of modern life: "Freedom is not a gift that lasts long in the hands of cowards." It is not a comfortable pillow to rest upon once won. It is a hard-won possession that demands constant vigilance, personal courage, and a willingness to stand when it would be easier to ...

There are things commonly said in pubs, footy clubs, late-night radio shows and private conversations that do not belong in the official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia, even over a scotch whiskey. That distinction seems obvious, or at least it once did. Yet the latest controversy surrounding Anthony Albanese's appearance on Nikki Osbo...

Vax mania: with every winter, the familiar call goes out again. Roll up your sleeve. Get the flu jab. It's quick, it's responsible, and it will keep you and those around you safer through the cold months. For many people, it has become as routine as changing the batteries in the smoke detector or putting on a coat before stepping outside. Yet even ...

A recent article on Medium discussed the INFJ, often described as the world's rarest personality type. Like millions of others, I found myself reading through the familiar list of characteristics: introverted, intuitive, guided by values, analytical, independent, idealistic. Some points certainly resonated. Others did not. But what interested me mo...

Most Christians know the story of Jesus walking on the water. It is usually understood as a miracle demonstrating Christ's power over nature while rescuing His frightened disciples from a storm. Yet hidden within Mark's account is a single sentence that has puzzled readers for centuries: "He was about to pass by them." (Mark 6:48) At first glance, ...

The European Union's new Migration Pact, now in force across the continent, is being sold to the public as a pragmatic compromise, a long-overdue tightening of the rules after years of chaos at the borders. Brussels speaks of better screening, faster returns, and "solidarity" between member states. In reality, this sprawling package of regulations ...

Britain's proud tradition of policing by consent is fraying badly. Recent incidents reveal a troubling pattern: not merely the much-discussed "two-tier policing" that appears to treat different groups unequally, but something deeper and more disturbing, the steady emergence of a police state mentality where officers are deployed to intimidate criti...

In late June 2026, the Australian Historical Association (AHA) offered an extraordinary illustration of the gap that can exist between academic ideals and academic practice. The theme of its annual conference in Sydney was "Changing Minds," a celebration, supposedly, of historians revising their views in light of new evidence and fresh argument. Ye...

The demographic transformation of Britain continues its relentless march, and higher education stands as one of its clearest battlegrounds. New data reveals that White British students have become a minority at 27 UK universities in the 2024-25 academic year, more than double the number from just a decade ago. At institutions like Aston University ...
