In 2013, the Gillard Labor government tried to impose a new regime of censorship on the Australian mainstream media. A lot has changed in the last 10 years – but not the Australian left’s determination to tightly control information. In 2023, the Albanese Labor government is at it again. What
How long before it’s illegal to be a Catholic in Tasmania? At the rate that stating core Catholic beliefs is being outlawed in the state, it only seems a matter of time. When a Tasmanian bishop published a pamphlet putting the case that the Church’s teaching is that
Some crimes are too depressingly common, missing children among them. But, every now and then, for whatever reason, a particular crime grips the public imagination.

As the Labour government promises to throw yet more buckets of cash at New Zealand’s failing universities, no one appears to be giving much thought to whether or not it would be better to simply let them fail. Or, failing that, actively putting them out of their misery. Because
You can’t find a more ridiculous example at how out of touch this government is, or how useless our Police have become under this government. We have joked about the ‘catch and release’ crime policy of the government and now we have proof it’s real. The president of

For a party steeped in union dogma Labour sure does seem to have a problem with how to treat their staff. The latest to face bullying accusations is Kiri Allan. And the word is that this is just the tip of the iceberg, too. A staffer seconded to work with
Politics sure is a fickle business. It seems that, one moment you’re a trailblazing pioneer for the LGBT rights movement, the next you’re just another kiddy-diddler with another entry on your mile-long rap sheet. This is how “Stacie-Marie Laughton” was making headlines a decade ago: Election Day ushered

College Park, Maryland, Mayor Patrick Wojahn resigned Wednesday night ahead of being arrested by Prince

PM Hipkins is flailing. He can’t define ‘woman’ or ‘dictator’ and no one has asked him to define truth. When did politics become divorced from reality, and people uninterested in truth? Give yourself 10/10 if you answered Covid. By Covid I don’t mean the viral infection, I
