  • Rejecting the Sanctity of Life

    In Belgium and the Netherlands, trailblazers of right-to-die legislation, the laws regulating voluntary suicide have gradually been extended to allow children as young as nine years of age to end their lives. What we are seeing is the West turning away from a culture of life to one that embraces and exalts death

  • From America, a Lesson Unheeded

    The SCOTUS decision in Brown vs Board of Education rejected government-sponsored 'separate but equal' apartheid, insisting the law must be blind to skin colour and lineage. In Australia, however, the repudiation of equality before the law continues unabated. Indeed, it has only accelerated after the failure of the Voice

  • Unlike Warmists, Numbers Don’t Lie

    There is no 'climate emergency', just a man-made political weapon used to scare and indoctrinate children, pollute the minds of the ill-informed and gullible and allow politicians and aspiring social engineers to pursue their not-so-hidden agendas.

  • Obscure and Confused Notions of Aboriginality

    ‘Aboriginality’ has developed into an amorphous, undefinable concept that has steadily been expanded to cover cultural traits that differ from the mainstream population. If the astonishing growth of those who self-identify as indigenous continues apace, it would be useless, even irresponsible, to entrench the Voice in the Constitution

  • How Early Voting Erodes Faith in Elections

    Even if we accept the dubious proposition that early voting does not facilitate cheating and electoral fraud, as its defenders insist, it remains a practice that endangers democracy by encouraging premature decisions. Shouldn't voters be required to wait at least until candidates have faced off in open debate before making their choices?

  • Some Further Thoughts on Christian Porter’s Tribulations

    A ruling by the Supreme Court of South Australia holds that, unlike criminal cases, the presumption of innocence may not apply 'in the civil arena.' That may well be one reason why the former attorney-general's defamation action was discontinued and a settlement reached
