Over the past year, the influx of international students into Australia has ignited a heated debate about their impact on the nation's already strained rental market. As rental prices soar and vacancy rates plummet, many Australians are pointing fingers at the sheer volume of international students as a key driver of the crisis. While some reports ...

In a world where heart disease remains a leading cause of death, a recent study in the European Heart Journal has sparked outrage by suggesting that the carbon footprint of aortic valve surgeries should guide medical decisions. By meticulously tallying the CO2 emissions of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) versus transcatheter aortic valve r...

I have been covering at the blog the AI threat, the way Large Language Models have the evolving capacity to take jobs. And there are clear and present dangers as well, just using these monsters. Recently Google's Gemini went mad, and being unable to solve problems said things like: "I am clearly not capable of solving this problem. The code is curs...

Britain stands at a precipice, its social fabric fraying under the weight of unchecked mass migration, political neglect, and a growing sense of betrayal among its people. The air is thick with tension, as a recent survey by Looking for Growth and Merlin Strategy reveals: 70 percent of Britons fear political violence is imminent, while one in five,...

In the heart of Western civilisation lies a paradox: as churches empty and secularism rises, the cultural imprint of Christianity remains indelible, shaping the values, institutions, and identity of nations from London to Canberra. Christianity is not merely a private faith or a collection of rituals, it is the lifeblood of a civilisation, a way of...

South Korea's demographic crisis is a stark warning to the world: a nation grappling with one of the lowest birth rates in history, where marriage is declining, families are disintegrating, and the population is aging at an unprecedented pace. The statistics paint a grim picture, by 2050, nearly half the population will be over 65, with fewer than ...

For nearly two decades, Britain's climate lobby has held an iron grip on policy, discourse, and public imagination, promising a utopian future of cheap energy, green jobs, and global leadership. From Westminster's corridors to the BBC's airwaves, the mantra was clear: Net Zero would make us richer, healthier, and safer, all while saving the planet....

Yesterday, August 4, Nima and I discussed on Dialogue Works the three iron constraints on the US government that seem to guarantee the world is heading into catastrophic war. https://www.youtube.com/live/AdnUdbcfp3U One constraint is the US foreign policy doctrine of US hegemony over the world, known as the Wolfowitz Doctrine:The principal goal of ...

The West is adrift. Across Britain and beyond, a pervasive sense of political failure has taken hold. Politicians promise to curb immigration, yet numbers explode. They pledge fiscal restraint, yet public spending balloons. They vow to honour democratic mandates, like the Brexit referendum or the Voice referendum, only to undermine them through yea...

In recent years, Brazil has witnessed a disturbing trend in the application of its legal framework, particularly through the expansion of anti-discrimination laws to suppress dissenting voices. The case of Isabella Cêpa, a Brazilian feminist granted refugee status in Europe after facing up to 25 years in prison for "misgendering" a transgender poli...

The environmental doomsters have, at least since the publication of the Club of Rome's The Limits to Growth (1972), been proclaiming that the key elements for techno-industrial society are being rapidly depleted. The Peak oil craze, some years back was an example, where supposedly we have reached the peak of oil production and it is downhill from n...

In 2025, a significant outbreak of chikungunya, a mosquito-borne viral disease, has emerged in Guangdong Province, China, with over 7,000 cases reported since July. This unprecedented surge, driven by international travel, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall, has prompted Chinese authorities to deploy innovative countermeasures, including "cannib...

The West, once a beacon of liberty, reason, and Christian virtue, is crumbling into a totalitarian nightmare. The warning signs are glaring: borders thrown open to hostile invaders, free speech crushed under "hate" laws, and the sacred tenets of family and faith demonised by a globalist elite hell-bent on erasing our heritage. As Brandon Smith argu...

The far-Left Marxists of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have thrown down a gauntlet that should chill every person to the bone. At their Socialism 2025 conference in Chicago, held July 3–6, a panel titled "The Left and the Family: A Roundtable" openly called for the annihilation of the traditional family unit, branding it "inherently re...

A picture is worth a thousand words, so an entire video must be worth many thousands; I assume it is authentic and not some AI creation. At these links below you can make up your own mind, as you watch those at a pro-Palestinian rally in Sydney graffiti the words "Abolish Australia," and burn Australian flags. Some waving the Taliban flag chanted "...

Australia's education system has undergone a profound shift over the past half-century, prioritising university education at the expense of vocational pathways. This obsession with higher education, as highlighted by Leith van Onselen, has led to a significant deskilling of the workforce, with far-reaching consequences for the nation's economy and ...

Australia's eSafety Commissioner, established under the Online Safety Act 2021 to protect citizens from online harms, has increasingly come under scrutiny for overstepping its mandate and undermining free speech. The recent ruling by the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) on August 6, 2025, marks the third time the eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inm...

A recent study published in Science Advances has cast serious doubt on the effectiveness of the six-foot social distancing rule, a cornerstone of pandemic-era public health policy. Conducted by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of Cadiz, the study reveals that the widely promoted guideline offers little pro...

Recent reports from the UK, such as those detailed by UK-China Transparency (UKCT), have raised alarms about Chinese students being pressured by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to act as informants in British universities. These students reportedly monitor classmates, coursework, and campus events to suppress discussions on topics sensitive to Be...

The plummeting fertility rate in the United States, now at a historic low of fewer than 1.6 children per woman in 2024, signals a profound cultural shift. This decline, well below the replacement level of 2.1, reflects a society increasingly detached from the natural rhythms of family and procreation. Among the many factors contributing to this tre...
