Disembodied Voices: Spirits in a Material World

  • Michael Dunn
  • 28th February 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (2)

Talking about demons and angels outside church is scarcely respectable at all. But on the other side of a world in darkness there is light and an enchanted world of saints and heroes, and countless acts of love. Humanity has been living with its demons and its angels for a very long time

Intellectual Humility vs. Passionate Certainty

  • Declan Mansfield
  • 27th February 2021

Redemption is absent from the woke catechism, an omission that sees your modern-day Jacobins celebrate each other's morality when destroying the lives and reputations of others. As Aristotle noted, all putative virtues must have their have a dark sides, and just now the gloom deepens by the day

The Anxious Arithmetic of COVID Alarmism

  • Peter Smith
  • 27th February 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (9)

Study England's ledger of national morbidity, as I have been doing to occupy my idle hours, and deaths in 2020 show an unsettling 13 per cent increase. Compare this with the average of the previous five years, however, and the figure that emerges is an increase of just 2 per cent, which hardly justifies the pounding the panic button has been taking

Premier Dan’s Dangerously Addled ‘Treaty’

  • Peter O'Brien
  • 26th February 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (12)

The great irony is that the 'treaty process' the Victorian government has initiated and Indigenous activists have embraced owes nothing to Aboriginal culture. What it promises to deliver is different laws for different races, which is the very definition of the racism its advocates profess to find so repugnant

Welcome to Country: Bogus but Preferable

  • Mark Powell
  • 25th February 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (18)

It is generally known that those Welcome to Country ceremonies which these days precede almost every public event are made of whole cloth. Yet the fiction, as the celebrated anthropologist A. P. Elkin might have noted, is far more palatable than the actual means by which rival tribes sorted their disagreements and promoted amity

The TGA, a Suitable case for Treatment

  • Roger Franklin
  • 24th February 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (12)

Of all the weirdness COVID-19 has inflicted on Australia, perhaps the most bizarre example of the virus' impact on the bureaucratic mind emerged this week from the Therapeutic Goods Administration -- a 'cease and desist order' directed at a group of physicians who desire the freedom, now denied them, to prescribe hydroxychloroquine

The Law

Rule of Law vs the ‘Law’ of Rules

  • Laurence W. Maher
  • 24th February 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (4)

Why is it not open to contend that it is preferable for Australia’s elected legislators to decide issues, such as so-called 'hate speech' matters, rather than substantive law-making decisions being dictated directly by international bureaucrats or indirectly by courts and tribunals?

The Learning-Impaired Managers of Bushfire Risk

  • Peter Rutherford
  • 23rd February 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (5)

This summer has been a mild one in Victoria -- plenty of rain and cooler-than-normal weather, which means the bush and its future fuel loads have grown. Come the next drought, it will cure and it will burn as surely as the sun rises in the west. Bushfire managers and their advising academics seem incapable of grasping this simple truth

Young, Woke and in Need of Competition

  • Timothy Cootes
  • 23rd February 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (14)

Those who haven't visited Junkee don't know what they're missing, which isn't much if truth be told, other than the opportunity to observe the tragically hip assuring readers and each other how seriously they take every latest fashion in social justice. Surely it's time for those on the right to get down with the youth and offer unwoke alternatives

Language, Crime and Trial by Headline

  • Peter Smith
  • 22nd February 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (14)

There is a world of difference between a complainant and a victim. Yet when crimes of a sexual nature are being alleged the term victim is often thrown about. Implicitly this suggests that a crime has indeed been committed and someone, often known, is the culprit
