Citing the Australian Library Association as a neutral observer about matters LGBTQ+ is like asking the Politburo to speak without fear or favour about Marxism. It’s an utterly captured organisation run by people who think the Teals care about power prices, the ABC is apolitical, and the male vagina actually exists

Daily -- hourly, if truth be told -- we are fed information about Israel on the nightly news, via tweets and social media and propaganda videos on the net, and the majority have no idea whether what they are watching is true, partly true or disreputable nonsense. Today's 'anti-Zionism', the latest iteration of the world’s oldest hatred, is a social contagion of the uninformed

What the capture of institutions and the policing of language means is that all political, social and philosophical issues are already weighted in favour of progressives, who immediately, when challenged, shout epithets to silence dissent. Well let me tell you that resentment is growing, that it can't be long until the mad Left's prescribed absurdities reach critical mass and explode

Because trans activists insist words have both a common, surface-level meaning and a deeper ideological one, the truth is ignored by policymakers who hear only the superficial rhetoric of human rights. The solution, though, is simple: liberal democracy and free speech -- allowing, of course, that gender dissidents are prepared to wear the piled-on consequences of their candour and respect for facts

The inability of trans activists to accept the tangible evidence of their own bodies while denouncing others' entirely rational belief in biological reality is at the heart of an inchoate rage which brooks no argument. That mainstream trans advocates and organisations have declined to condemn the violence visited upon women's rights campaigner Posie Parker speaks volumes. Silence, as often noted, bestows consent

Top Gear's compere wrote something vulgar about Meghan Markle and the ginger-haired boy who follows her around. It wasn't witty, there was an outcry and he very soon apologised, not once but twice. And that was his mistake. He should have known the Woke duo would spy an opportunity to promote their alleged victimhood, excoriate the un-Woke and savour a delicious moment or ten of moral preening

It wasn’t enough for gay marriage to be normalised, or for good-natured tolerance of different lifestyle choices to be accepted. A suite of radical claims was put before a confused public and no debate or dissent was allowed. Men were now women and women were men, and not in the ‘let us be kind to John or Jane type of way. Sure,what harm could it do?’ The answer is simple: a lot of harm

Modern fascism is no longer a picture, as Orwell said, of a boot stamping on a face forever. It’s the emoji of a smiley, neurodiverse, indoctrinated, cultish, eternal adolescent policing in the name of 'diversity, inclusion and equity' what can be said by fellow users of social media. All this, of course, punctuated by a stream of ‘Be Kind’ messages

In order to reorient society to the notion of pluralism, social justice ideology, which is now the defining feature of Pride, should be rejected by gay rights activists, even if it takes time to reverse the more ludicrous ideas now considered normal in public discourse. It is encouraging that, finally, this return to sanity is gaining traction
