I’ve been trying to put my finger on the reason why Trent Dalton’s book Boy Swallows Universe (HarperCollins, 2018) is so popular. For the first time in the history of the Australian Book Industry of the Year (ABIA), Dalton’s work won all four major categories: [...]

We need women. That’s a line that all men can agree on, but not always for the right reasons. Feminism only gained ground in the 1890’s when men became vocal supporters of a woman’s right to vote. In those days, in a court of law, [...]

Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden — Donald Trump’s last remaining rival — has been accused of sexual assault by a former staffer named Tara Reade. Such a serious allegation against a presidential candidate would normally be a loud, leading, global story. Instead, America’s biggest mainstream [...]

The symbol of our resistance to tyranny in 1775 was a Minuteman’s musket. The symbol of our acquiescence to tyranny in 2020 is a mandatory face mask. You can hear America’s death knell in a poll that showed nearly 60% of us are more concerned [...]

By Greg Sheridan, The Australian. Editor’s Note: Greg Sheridan considers the utterly shocking bias of the ABC, as well as the disregard of the Victorian Premier for the High Court's unanimous verdict. This gross misuse of state power in persistently swaying public opinion against an [...]

The recent High Court decision which unanimously (7-0) upheld the appeal of George Pell against the Victorian Court of Appeal’s decision proves—once-and-for-all-time—that the Catholic Cardinal is innocent. But that hasn’t stopped sections of the media from continuing to reaffirm Pell’s guilt. Without doubt, the most [...]

The recent High Court decision which unanimously—seven to zero—upheld the appeal of Cardinal George Pell against the Victorian Court of Appeal’s decision to uphold the original trial verdict of child sexual abuse, is to be welcomed. The High Court has held that the conviction did [...]

Executive Editor’s Note: Africa is a wonderful continent filled with wonderful people, and yet at the same time is one of the most tragic continents on the globe. Beautiful people filled with joy, smiling in the midst of crippling poverty and chronic corruption, and at [...]

By Mathew Wright Workshop Presenter – Youth for Christ Australia Read: Psalm 16:11, 17:15, 23, 34:4-10 It’s been a crazy few weeks in Australia as together we fight the spread of COVID-19. But there is a much more insidious plague that crept into our society [...]

Malachi 4:6 – “Turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers.” Luke 19:10: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Australian psychologist and author Steve Biddulph says, ‘love grows [...]

I sympathize with porn-star congresswoman Katie Hill, really I do. The feeble-minded should be protected from themselves. When you’re caught doing something dumb, dangerous or criminal, you must immediately wrap yourself in the mantle of victimhood. In her last speech to the House yesterday, to [...]

On September 6, 2018, off-duty Dallas Police Amber Guyger entered the apartment of Botham Jean and fatally shot him. (Guyger said she entered the apartment believing it was her own, and that she shot Jean believing he was a burglar). On October 1, 2019, Guyger [...]

While officials in Bali have been busy channelling their inner Turnbull in prosecuting sexual infidelity, the University of Technology Sydney has pursued the opposite goal. Its administration wants to make sure that its students are instructed in explicit sexual material, whether one consents to it [...]

Editor's Note: This incisive piece by Janet Albrechtsen in The Australian, quoting Stephen Fry at length, highlights the nasty depths to which our "civil" discourse has sunk. Identity politics turns people against each other, dividing communities and spewing toxic, damaging words against vulnerable, innocent people [...]

The single hardest thing for any Dad is trying to get the balance right between love and discipline for his children. I often use the expression ‘grace and truth’. Grace is really another name for love. The challenge becomes more difficult the more children you [...]

Happy Father’s Day. I hope and pray you have a good one. Recently I received a call at the Dads4Kids office. It was most unusual. Junior Stowers was his name, and he was was calling from inside a detention centre. Having performed concerts in 20 [...]

What They Saw begins with the acclamation that ordinary people can make a difference; that is, ordinary people with a testimony and enough chutzpah to share it. Being sworn to secrecy, that’s just what author Monica Bennett-Ryan and her co-workers had to demonstrate to confront [...]

An argument often used in support of legalising abortion is that the alternative leads to women taking matters into their own hands with dodgy backyard hacks. However, the reality is, the opposite is more likely the case, especially regarding the current ‘Reproductive Rights Bill’—a truly [...]

Some time ago I wrote an article called “Ten Reasons for Eating Together” for the Dads4Kids weekly newsletter to inspire fathers and encourage families. The week after the story went out to 5,000 fathers, I spoke to my wife about the newsletter. I said, “You [...]
