Human rights were not some kind of inevitable discovery of the human race. They have a peculiarly Christian origin.

Last week, Australia’s highest-profile rugby player Israel Folau tweeted a paraphrase of an unpopular Bible verse. This week, he finds himself barred from our national rugby team and the NRL. Izzy’s fame has kept his story in the nation’s headlines. But he’s only the tip [...]

In the recent NSW election, Michael Daley—the soon to be former Labor leader—immolated his own political campaign over his anti-Asian comments when he bizarrely suggested that ‘Asians with PhDs’ were the reason that ‘white people’ were being priced out of the Sydney property market. Bill [...]

With an election now called in Australia and the ALP declaring that, under a Labor government, Federal funding to hospitals will depend on them providing abortion services, the issue of abortion is clearly on the election radar. Why is abortion such an important issue for [...]

Richard Branson said, “If happiness is the goal – and it should be, then adventures should be top priority.” It is the priority of adventure that makes being out in the bush with a bunch of dads and their kids really exhilarating. Wollondilly River Station, [...]

Our national anthem begins with the triumphant line Australians all let us rejoice for we are young and free. But after some troubling news headlines in the last few days, that word free is less true than it was a week ago. Australia’s freedoms—in particular [...]

Several months ago, a number of headmasters of prominent Sydney Anglican schools—such as my alma mater—signed, and then apologised for signing, a letter issued by Anglican archbishop, Glenn Davies in response to the LGBTQI agenda. In the letter, Davies argued that Christian schools have the [...]

Speaking a word against the ‘equality’ crusaders in the modern age is tantamount to blasphemy. To insist that inequality is natural is to be labeled a ‘bigot’ who doesn’t understand the evolving nature of society and how far we have progressed. In fact, unless you [...]

Why do those on the left feel like they have to keep imposing their own values—or possibly lack thereof—upon everybody else? Just take the recent furor flowing out of Notre Dame University. Maryann White—a Catholic mother of four boys—wrote an articulate and gracious letter to [...]

Major players in the Democratic Party are consistently being exposed for their historic links with organisations and groups that explicitly devalue human life. Robert Byrd, Hilary Clinton’s mentor, was a long-time member of the KKK, and early this year, Virginia Governor, Ralph Northam, was revealed [...]

In his helpful and timely book, God Is Good For You, Greg Sheridan quotes the Cistercian Father Michael Casey on the modern postmodern movement. Drawing on the work of French sociologist, the late Jean Baudillard, Casey posits that the five qualities postmodernism lacks are ‘depth, [...]

According to Australia’s most famous oracle, Sportsbet, the former trade unionist, Bill Shorten, could be Australia’s next Prime Minister with odds of $1.15 to the Liberals at $5.00. Personally, I’m not so sure the results are a foregone conclusion, especially if Australians do some serious [...]

My grandson plays soccer at a very junior level. Local club stuff. Kids just starting out on the great soccer adventure. In a recent game against a private school with the advantages of resident teacher-coach and all-week possibilities of training, the score became close to [...]

I don’t have any formal education in economics, but then again neither has Jane Caro—who has a Bachelor of Arts majoring in English—which probably explains why she tweets such vacuous feel-good comments like this: This is why we can never have nice things. Because while [...]

Counting Crows had a hit in 2002 with Joni Mitchell’s famous song Big Yellow Taxi. Good songs never get old. The line that stands out in the song for me is “all and all it seems to go, but you don’t know what you got [...]

Throughout the ages, people of faith have tended to believe that the end of human life lies within the Divine prerogative – that is to say that life belongs to God and thus is His to give and take, so God alone has the right [...]

Many years ago our family had a very enlivening experience. Let me explain: My work background is in construction and yet I have played music all my life. I have always enjoyed working with my hands and supervising construction projects, but I enjoyed music even [...]

“A merry heart does good like a medicine,” is a quote from the Book of Proverbs that is backed up by all the modern sciences. Raising a family can be exasperating beyond belief. That is why the team behind the Canberra Declaration believe you must [...]

I have a dream to change the world. Before I tell you what I believe the secret to changing the world is, let me share with you a few other perspectives. The radical feminists have developed a very simple solution to changing the world. They [...]
