Digital ID, Free Speech and Our Children
Today, we are wrapping our children up in digital cotton wool! What are the implications? I ask you.

Heroic Muslims Are Not the ‘Antidote’
I know Ahmed is a genuine hero. But please, let’s not treat him as one, at least not in the way Albanese and McEvoy are: the ultimate cost will just be too great. I know this column makes me sound like a heartless piece of shit. But empathy has got us absolutely nowhere.
An Open Letter to Simeon Brown
Is not the real problem, who, if truth be told, is actually neglecting Māori?
Are They Bad or Just Bonkers?
The Bondi Barbarians. The role of bad ideas in abominable behaviour.
Privacy for the Powerful, Surveillance for the Rest
Protecting kids is a weak pretext for total digital surveillance. What’s worse, the EU’s monitoring exempted its own politicians from scrutiny. Their privacy matters, but not yours.
Labour Has Gone Beyond Lying To Bullshitting
At some point over the last 18 months, I suspect the government moved from lying to bullshitting without giving fair warning. We thought we were playing football then it began to play rugby, and since it has the ball on loan until 2029 there isn’t much we can do about it.
New Years Massacre Plot Foiled
The members are said to have self-identified as part of a radical offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), an extremist group driven by pro-Palestinian, anti-law-enforcement, and anti-government ideology.
This Debt, Borrow and Bust Cycle
The debt on the interest the Victorian government has racked up over the past decade is over $100,000 per hour, though it may be as much as $791,000 per hour based on ABC calculations (if the Australians Broadcasting Communism can’t even hide how bad it is, it must be absolutely catastrophic).
Can We Look Back in Anger Yet?
Tolerance must not be a suicide pact. Every time a politician chooses comfort over clarity and a journalist downplays jihadist violence they are laundering ideology. This is how a society talks itself into paralysis.
Barry Young and This Failure of Evidence
This very hot potato is now in their court – getting in a mixed metaphor before they’re banned for changing the weather – and, whilst we worry how the report will land in February, we must all get on board the patriot train now and resist the over-reach like our lives depend on it.
Blood on Their Hands
For too long, we have tolerated people calling for the very violence that occurred at Bondi Beach.
And So They Exploit This
Conservatives face a critical task: reassert the principles that defined the movement – individual liberty, limited government, and distrust of authoritarianism – or lose it to unprincipled opportunists.
Rock Bottom? They’re Just Getting Started
They don’t understand that it’s their own policies causing the pain. Yet when prices rise, unemployment creeps up, and housing becomes unaffordable they just double down on price controls, taxes, wage mandates, bloated spending, and regulatory overreach.

Crazy or common sense? Free speech and privacy vs national security.
We Should Reconsider This
There’s nothing xenophobic or racist about favouring national stability and cohesion and ensuring all those who come to live in Australia accept and live by the values and beliefs that make it such a unique country.
