In a recent Guardian opinion piece, Elon Musk's criticism of casting Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan's upcoming Odyssey adaptation is portrayed as unhinged Right-wing hysteria. According to the article, Musk's objections boil down to three main claims: the casting is historically inaccurate to a mythological poem; Nyong'o (Peop...

The humanities once stood near the centre of Western civilisation. Philosophy asked what truth was. History preserved cultural memory. Literature explored the human condition. Theology wrestled with morality, suffering, and transcendence. Even when scholars disagreed, the humanities retained a civilisational confidence: there existed such a thing a...

Hard times are beginning to sweep across the Western world again. Australians feel it in rising food prices, energy costs, housing stress, insecure employment, collapsing trust in institutions, and the growing sense that the comfortable post-Cold War era is ending. Above all hangs the darkening international atmosphere: wars spreading across Europe...

In a dramatic reversal of fortunes, Donald Trump is now reportedly preparing to use the legal system against those who spent years weaponising it against him. As detailed in recent reporting, the Trump administration and his legal team are exploring ways to hold accountable the prosecutors, officials, and political actors behind the unprecedented c...

One Nation has achieved something that most establishment parties still barely understand: politics in the social media age is no longer won simply through policy documents, press conferences, or carefully scripted talking points. Attention itself has become political currency, and humour is now one of the most powerful weapons in public life. For ...

The latest revelation from a former prosecutor, as reported by The Gateway Pundit, is both obvious and damning: there is arguably more evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden than by his son Hunter, yet Biden is now being shielded by claims of mental incapacity. The same system that aggressively prosecuted Hunter Biden suddenly discovers that the forme...

A strong defence of Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is straightforward: this is a blatant attempt by parts of the Left and media to manufacture outrage and enforce speech taboos on immigration. The core issue isn't some 30-second clip twisted out of context. It's that Australia is experiencing record-high net overseas migration under the current L...

There's a kind of resilience that now feels almost alien in the modern West. People born in the 1960s and 1970s often grew up in conditions that today would be described as "hardship," yet at the time were simply regarded as ordinary life. The recent reflections circulating online about this "old school resilience" strike a nerve because many young...

The latest chapter in Australia's most defining legal battle has concluded: Giggle for Girls v Roxanne Tickle. Sall Grover originally created a social media app exclusively for women; a digital space intended for connection free from male intrusion. Roxanne Tickle, a transgender woman, joined the platform, was subsequently removed based on gender-r...

The central vulnerability of the Full Federal Court's ruling in Giggle for Girls Pty Ltd v Tickle [2026] FCAFC 64 lies precisely here: the statutory silence of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) (SDA) on the meaning of "sex." By failing to define "sex" explicitly, the Act has invited the judiciary to assume the role of philosopher and linguist. ...

The contrast between the UK Supreme Court's unanimous decision in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers [2025] UKSC 16 (16 April 2025) and the Full Federal Court of Australia's ruling in Giggle for Girls Pty Ltd v Tickle [2026] FCAFC 64 (15 May 2026) could not be starker. Where the Australian court embraced a fluid, multi-factorial, and c...

The Full Federal Court's ruling in Giggle for Girls Pty Ltd v Tickle raises questions extending well beyond social media apps. The deeper issue concerns how institutions are now expected to define "sex" and "gender identity" under Australian anti-discrimination law. For decades, universities, corporations, and government agencies have operated wome...

The Daily Mail's headline writers struck gold again with "mutant 'super pigs' develop alarming new abilities in nuclear fallout zone." Complete with ominous imagery of Fukushima's abandoned towns, it sounds like a post-apocalyptic horror flick. In reality, the May 2026 study from Japanese researchers reveals something far more interesting, and less...

Bill Ponton's recent piece in American Thinker nails a crucial distinction that sceptics of climate alarmism have long observed. The "climate scam" — complete with Green New Deal fantasies and Net Zero zealotry — isn't powered solely by deliberate deception. It thrives on something more pervasive and harder to uproot: massive institutional stupidit...

Victor Davis Hanson's latest essay in American Greatness flips the script on the fashionable narrative that America is a fading power, destined to be eclipsed by a rising China. Drawing on the iconic film title's metaphor of hidden strength and latent power, Hanson argues that the United States remains the true crouching tiger, seemingly complacent...

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager with trillions under management, recently voiced a striking concern at a high-profile event, the Milken Institute Global Conference. While discussing the massive buildout of AI infrastructure, he highlighted the need to rethink security for these projects due to "drone warfare." He spe...

On May 19, 2026, Cory Bernardi delivered his maiden speech to South Australia's Legislative Council as One Nation's leader in the upper house. The response was immediate and telling: Greens MLCs Robert Simms and Melanie Selwood stood, bowed, and walked out in protest when he addressed transgender issues and "gender-affirming care." That walkout was...

 False hope springs eternal in the Middle East. Rumours of a breakthrough "peace deal" or "final draft" with Iran swirl regularly, often amplified by wishful sources only to collapse under reality. As Michael Snyder notes in his recent Substack, people keep falling for these stories. The truth is harsher: the positions of the Trump administrat...

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are hitting recruitment targets for the first time in years. Defence Minister David McGuinty celebrated surpassing goals with 7,310 new regular force members in 2025-26, bringing the full-time strength to around 67,800. Officials proudly declare the military now "reflects Canadian society," with nearly 20% of recent ...

 Prime Minister Albo is beaming. The Atlantic Council will hand him its Global Citizen Award in New York this September during the UN General Assembly. The citation praises his "inspirational leadership" and commitment to AUKUS, regional engagement, and global partnerships. Past recipients include Macron, Zelenskyy, and others who play well on...
