Australia’s Largest Christian News Site

Elon Musk’s actions since his takeover of Twitter appear to back up his pro-free-speech rhetoric. Moreover, his release of the “Twitter files” has exposed a culture of censorship and partisanship within Twitter’s management. Back in April, when Elon Musk first purchased Twitter for $61.4 billion [...]

I’m a big Jordan Peterson fan and have seen him live, which was an experience I’ll not soon forget. When I first watched him on YouTube, I was struck by his depth and breadth of knowledge. He’s not only a compelling public intellectual, he’s really [...]

A conservatism that focuses on individual freedom as the supreme virtue can only undermine Christianity, in the long run. If you emphasise freedom from government overreach, then it is a small step to seeing the need to free individuals from the reach of religion. The [...]

The Australian Medical Professionals Society (AMPS) is on a mission to restore medical free speech in this country and ensure the loyalty of doctors and all health practitioners remains first and foremost with patients -- not bureaucrats or politicians. AMPS is currently touring the country, booking [...]

The left is in a real quandary over Qatar, where their LGBT activism clashes with Islam. To chronicle the hypocrisy and double standards of the left is a full-time job, and my site has tried its best to keep up with it all. It is [...]

The modern Left is not actually against freedom, like many on the Right think. The problem with the Left is that it stands for a very selective freedom, born of a binary view of society that divides all people into oppressed and oppressor classes. The [...]

On September 26, a Classical Education Seminar was held in Melbourne. Dr Paul Morrissey, president of Campion College in Sydney, delivered the following address, which bears the subtitle, Educating the Whole Person. ___ As current education debates centre on falling standards and teacher education, it [...]

Some are saying the Victorian election result was rigged. It wasn’t. This isn’t Arizona. The only reason someone could be shocked at the Victorian election outcome is if they misjudged Australians to be freedom-loving. Aussies like freedom, but they don’t love it. They can live [...]

Freedom is being thrown away in the West while being fought for in Communist China. The contrast could not be greater: while sheepish and servile crowds are well on the road to serfdom, happily voting in dictators in Victoria, in China, the crowds are bravely [...]

To understand the diabolical nature of the Davos deities, read this book. This is not the first book to appear in recent times critiquing the Great Reset, Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum, and related matters. Some of these volumes I have already reviewed. But [...]

Poll determines the former US President should be allowed back on Twitter. Elon Musk announced the day before yesterday that former President Donald Trump will be allowed back on Twitter. Musk made the announcement after conducting an online poll that attracted more than 15 million [...]

As the dust starts to finally settle on COVID-19 -- and life begins to get back, at least somewhat, to ‘normal’ -- I’ve been reflecting on what has happened over the past couple of years. What are the lessons which we, especially Christians, need to [...]

Are we all ultimately deep down liberals, but just can't see it, or can't bring ourselves to admit it? I mean, are all of us, whether conservative, progressive, libertarian, Marxist, anarchist, actually liberals in practice, whatever our public rhetoric? Yoram Hazony argues that "no human [...]

Been watching with interest the Elon Musk saga over at Twitter, and reflecting on the way people are trying (and struggling) to conceptualise the platform. There is much talk about it being a kind of town square or public square. This is wrong and misleading. [...]

The public arena is not neutral -- rival religions are competing for hegemony. We are told -- at least in theory -- that in the West all points of view are welcome, and they can be argued for in public forums. This may have been [...]

How would you define the religion of our modern Secular Age? While we might not be a formally religious culture anymore here in the West, everyone believes in something -- about life, meaning and purpose -- even the most secular of people. And so, what does [...]

A culture based only on feelings and sensations is a doomed culture. Civilisations used to be based in good measure on reason and mental and moral clarity, on rationality and common sense. Sadly, most of that has been swept away in the West and we [...]

Thoughts on the election results. Late counting is still underway in the American mid-term elections, but by now we know fairly clearly how things have panned out: there was not a massive red wave for the Republicans as many expected, but there were some gains [...]

Free speech is the lifeblood of a healthy society. But there are some legitimate constraints on free speech, in my view. 1) Defamation: the injury that can be done to individuals as a consequence of making false accusations in a digital age are so severe [...]

Considering the billionaire Musk, his acquisition of Twitter, and his Christian critics. Just because we do not share the same theology or anthropology does not mean we cannot support the good things that someone does. It seems to happen every time. You get some well-known [...]
