The unrelenting catch-cries of the pandemic authoritarians and bootlickers, after “Save lives!”, have been “Follow the science!” and “The experts have said…!” Except that we know the first is a lie: if the “precautionary principle” dictators and their lickspittles really cared about saving lives at any cost, they’d not
There are some things, Orwell said, that are so stupid that only an intellectual could believe them. But “intellectuals” ain’t what they used to be: increasingly, universities are turning out graduates who can barely read or do basic high school maths. And that’s just the Teaching graduates. Naturally,

Imagine if the police were allowed to open all your letters, or listen in on all your telephone calls, without a warrant. Imagine if the police were allowed to eavesdrop on all your conversations with your friends. Imagine if the state was keeping track of everyone you dated, slept with,

In my series of Insight posts, Re-Christianising the West, I argued that, beyond mere secularisation, there is a vocal and influential segment of Australian society that is not just non-Christian, but implacably, aggressively anti-Christian. As if to prove my point, the Australia Defence Association has publicly stated that Australian soldiers
There was a time when a country woman’s proudest boast was that her scones won the blue ribbon at the local show. For nearly 200 years, agricultural shows were the highlight of the rural calendar. In an extensively urbanised Australia, they also brought the country to the city for
Despite the incessant hysteria of the political elite and their media lickspittles, the Chinese virus hasn’t proved exactly the plague apocalypse we’ve been told. The death toll in Australia remains far lower than even for recent bad flu seasons, and a mere fraction of the leading causes of
As I’ve written before, I’ve often wondered what it was like to see a free country slide into authoritarianism around you — and in the past 18 months, I’ve got to see exactly what it’s like. Australians, like the rest of the world, have been herded like
More than any other prime minister, Robert Menzies was responsible for putting Australia on the higher education map. Under Menzies, Australia’s universities tripled, and enrolments skyrocketed. True to Menzies’ word that “a university education is not, and certainly should not be, the perquisite of a privileged few,” and “finance
