Anthony Albanese has claimed the Liberal advertising campaign slogan -- ‘It won't be easy under Albanese’ -- is racist bullying that makes fun of his Italian name. God help us if we are subjected to three years of such infantile complaining! The Liberal Party have [...]

It's hard to know what’s worse -- that Australian Museum staff allowed men wearing women’s lingerie to play with Lego alongside children, or that they had to be shamed into promising it would never happen again. Museum management went into damage control after photos emerged [...]

Calvin Klein has gone down the gurgler with its latest marketing campaign pandering to the unscientific gender ideology currently infesting Western society. It is just the latest step in its capitulation to the Sexual Revolution and political correctness. Everything is de-Kleining. Turns out the slippery [...]

Those who trumpeted the necessity of receiving the coronavirus vaccine to avoid falling sick and help the state maintain Covid-zero, now rationalise that the jab moderates the effects of the virus. Do they think we wouldn't notice the change in messaging? Victoria's Chief Health Officer [...]

Political correctness has infected our law-keepers. It is now considered taboo to state the basic biological fact that humanity comes in two genders: male and female. Sergeant Staffieri should be commended for his courage in speaking up against the prevailing untrue narrative being foisted upon [...]

Uber's new feature, designed to ensure women's safety, may just end up doing the opposite -- thanks to the rideshare app's embrace of prevailing gender ideology. In a bid to ensure safety, Uber has announced a new feature that allows female drivers working late at [...]

Pro-choice LGBTQ ideological chants about men needing abortions are yet another sign of the world being topsy-turvy. People are increasingly disconnected from nature and reality. It is both alarming and amusing. Just because you say something, even emphatically, doesn't make it true. The National Women’s [...]

Non-Anglican parents of children in Anglican schools are unhappy that the Anglican Diocese of Sydney has simply restated basic principles about the biological nature of human sexuality.

Cultural Marxism has thoroughly infected our political system, making people fearful to speak up against the prevailing progressive narrative. Minority groups reinforce each other's fringe causes, to the detriment of majority constituents. How is it that tiny groups of people -- such as the LGBTQ [...]

Transgender ideology is infringing more and more on women's rights and women's spaces. We need to stand up for our women now. I laughed when Glamor Magazine named Caitlyn Jenner their 2015 Woman of the Year. I shouldn’t have. Not because it was rude to [...]
