The 868-page report of the official inquiry into Australia’s Covid-19 response, like the inquiry itself, is not fit for purpose. This is a report of, by, and for the public health clerisy.

How can Trump – a demagogue and convicted felon – be so overwhelmingly popular with Americans that he didn’t just secure re-election but a political clean sweep?

2016 was the year of “Make America Great Again.” 2024 will be the year of “I’m Voting for The Convicted Felon.” In a nation of catchy slogans, this one seems to strike a chord. How can one explain this?

The effort to blast away the ability of the Internet to have a verified history fits neatly into the stakeholder model of information distribution that has clearly been prioritised on a global level.

As Australia’s electricity system which charges EVs is overwhelmingly powered by fossil fuels, particularly coal, it is disingenuous to say that more electric vehicles will lead to a reduction in emissions.

Anthony Albanese’s alternative to a COVID Royal Commission has recommended Labor create a centralised source for information and control during a public health crisis.

The Queensland election result continues what appears to be a growing momentum of voters moving away from Labor. It was a very poor result for Labor in Queensland, involving a 7.4 per cent swing to the LNP, and a bad omen for Anthony Albanese federally.

The House report on HHS Covid propaganda is devastating. The Biden administration spent almost $1 billion to push falsehoods about Covid vaccines, boosters, and masks on the American people.

Last week, the Australian Catholic University managed to turn every word in its name into an oxymoron. It’s Australian, but neither its staff nor its students believe in a “fair go”. It’s officially Catholic, but students walked out on an eminent speaker who opposed abortion.

As I write this piece, Israel has just launched “precise strikes” on military targets in Iran in response to its ongoing attack on the tiny nation, either directly or through its proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and so on.

As the US Presidential election draws nearer, two conflicting opinions are emerging for Christians wishing to vote in a principled manner. Both have their merits and both allow for a decision to be made in good conscience.

Religious freedom, the ability to worship and evangelise, has been increasingly curtailed in the name of “anti-discrimination” and “inclusion”. Now, with its proposed misinformation laws, the federal government has Australians of faith in its sights in the name of “truth”.

Birth rates across the West are plummeting, and our economies will suffer untold carnage in the years ahead — all because we have failed to assign value to the unseen work, that most important job of child-rearing. Still, we have an opportunity to turn this mess around.

It would be a mistake to read too much into Harris’s words, but by exalting abortion as a manifestation of freedom, isn’t she close to endorsing Sartre’s bleakness and despair? A distinctive moral feature of abortion is being alone – radical alienation from both the child and her partner.

While inflation has contributed to the lack of housing affordability, the main factor is undoubtedly the huge increase in demand for housing, driven by the uncontrolled immigration – which more than doubled in a single year.

Those who seek to weaken Western support for Ukraine and continue to urge Israel to back off (the Penny Wong proposal) are ignoring the high stakes involved and fail to understand the aims and threats of these ideologically driven states.

It occurs to me that both the language of cancel culture and specific, high-profile instances of it have quickly faded from public debate. By contrast, talk about “misinformation” and “disinformation” is everywhere.

Children have become a commodity, and so have women and their wombs. Surrogacy is marketed as the fulfilment of a dream. But often, it ends up a terrible nightmare, especially considering the health risks to both the surrogate mother and the child.

I was heartbroken recently to see Melania Trump repeating the talking points of the Abortion Lobby. I could hardly believe it. She personally lived through the tyranny of Communism, and the Ruling Party in America relies on the very same tyrannical tactics as the Communists.

A major contributor to the runaway rise in housing prices in Australia has been the deregulation of the finance sector that has taken place over the past four decades.
