NIH Director appointee Dr Jay Bhattacharya has been accused of advocating a “let it rip” approach to public health. It's time to re-evaluate this claim.

Speaking with 2GB, Dutton said that if the LNP wins next year’s election, the only flag he’ll stand in front of is Australia’s National Flag, the blue ensign.

The former president famously declared he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Can he do it? And what will his strategy be?

It is often asserted that there is clear evidence that the benefits of Covid-19 vaccines outweigh their harms. But this is a dangerous oversimplification of complex medical realities.

Christians need to be aware of what is happening in their world – both the good and the bad. Recent developments such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the new digital technologies is one such area.

Since I began teaching in the early 1950s in Queensland, I have seen unbelievable changes in education. In writing this article I am thinking of the new generation of five-year-olds now starting their formal education. Nothing is as important as their learning to read.

It is extremely distressing that the Queensland Parliament yesterday passed a motion from Premier David Crisafulli which bans discussion of abortion in Parliament for the next four years.

Are our authorities serious about cracking down on anti-Semitism in the wake of Friday morning’s terror attack? There’s an easy way to find out. Arrest those idiots chanting for violence against Jews in Sydney on Sunday.

Our Prime Minister’s priorities are so wrong that he doesn’t visit a burning synagogue, but flies to Perth, has drinks with donors and plays tennis. It sounds like Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burns. Even worse, he denied playing tennis until caught out by a reporter.

There is no doubt that Trump won the White House, the Senate, the House and the Popular Vote. However, the longer counting continues, the smaller the gap in each. What should we make of the King-maker; the Election Industrial Complex?

The Australian economy is tanking. A large part of the cause is government spending, and yet Labor treasurer Jim Chalmers believes all is well. Rather than motivate businesses to build growth, Labor has chosen to further bloat the bureaucracy instead.

In the ancient Americas, cultures now considered to be highly influential and civilised saw human sacrifice as a necessary part of everyday life. Today, we are told that society is progressive and civilised because women’s "reproductive rights" and bodily autonomy are both supported.

We need to go back almost 20 years to the time when the inaugural Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued the first dramatic arrest warrant for a sitting head of state. Will it prove a case of three strikes and you are out with respect to global governance?

How much worse things get in Australia, in large measure, depends on the Labor leaders running the nation and most states. Ugly antisemitism seems doomed to simply worsen if they remain in power.

Regrettably and importantly, the assisted dying bill gives no direction as to what the doctor should do if the “lethal” dose does not, in fact, kill the patient. This will certainly happen and it needs to be specified if the bill is to become law.

My stand is against the treatment of Israel by the Australian government and the United Nations. The Australian government would rather reward the terrorism of October 7 and has continually pushed for a two-state solution, when all the terrorists want is a one-state solution.

What is the difference between 9 November 1938 in Germany and 6 December 2024 in Melbourne? Nothing, except some 86 years. In both cases, Jewish synagogues were set alight. The truth is, Jewish people no longer feel safe in this country.
