One would like to think governments are keen to combat all forms of domestic violence, regardless of gender, age and ethnicity. Unfortunately, men assaulted by wives and girlfriends are treated as 'second-class victims' if they are believed at all. Their plight will continue to be overlooked until feminists' stereotyping ceases to be the basis of policy

Australia is unlike the United States, where the Founders regarded the doctrine of separation of powers as one of the most important principles of constitutional government.

As elected politicians are fined and even imprisoned by unelected judges, Big Tech has mostly tugged the forelock to such tyranny, Elon Musk being the brave exception
