While the Canberra bubble has spent the last few weeks whipping itself into a self-righteous feminist fury about a bunch of gay men jacking off at work and a dodgy, decades-old rape allegation, a group of Aboriginal women travelled to Parliament to campaign for justice for a raped
It’s been said that Tolkien’s ents are a gentle poke at the academic circles of Oxford and Cambridge with which he was so familiar: a cloistered bunch of fussy old bachelors endlessly ruminating. It might have been thought that that particular academic milieu was long past. But, reading

My parents’ generation endured Depression, World War and the existential threat of communism. They never complained about it – or about much of anything.

The definition of insanity, it is said, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. On that score, the Australian media can be forgiven their periodic pack-hunts because until now, depending on how Attorney-General Christian Porter’s defamation case against the ABC goes, they’
Lindsay Mitchell lindsaymitchell.blogspot.com I don’t know much about this guy Piers Morgan. His face is recognisable from a British talent show I watched for maybe a season? I live in New Zealand and don’t follow social media – or barely – so am unfamiliar with his views. Verity
If we were to believe the hysterical claims of Western feminists, the streets of Australia are as hazardous for women as the battlefields of the Congo. The “one in four women will be raped” trope is as blatant nonsense as BLM’s fact-free hysteria over police shootings. Like BLM’
Amidst all the palaver and virtue-signalling in the media, and the strangely contradictory cavalcade of back-slapping and pearl-clutching whining of International Women’s Day, there is one group of Australian women who go almost completely ignored by the great and good of the Lady Pages and Mummy

Anne I worry about the future of women if we cannot say ‘women have babies’. I’m a woman with XX chromosomes, have grown from girlhood through all life stages to deliver three wonderful babies, breast-fed those babies and given them the best start I possibly could. Nobody knows
