Scott Morrison departed today for the Washington, where he will thrash out the details of Australia's deal to take the RAN into the nuclear age. It is a laudable move but one that won't see the first submarine arrive for a decade. The PM can remedy that by offering to buy or lease the older but still potent Los Angeles class boats the US Navy is in the process of retiring

As soon as the idea takes hold that fundamental moral values can be abandoned as impediments to the progress of a political agenda, the descent into amorality and barbarism begins. That is where the woke progressive Left now is and where it intends to take every institution and individual whose resistance it overcomes

Despite their self-proclaimed success in the 'war' on COVID-19, Australia's premiers give no indication they are willing to terminate their emergency powers or decrease the use of health directives.

Education bureaucrats and their enabling politicians have turned the purpose of education on its head, from teaching kids about the world to turning them into horrid know-nothing woke activists.

Those of libertarian bent will likely disagree with Loretta Polson's argument. Well that is what the comment thread is for. Readers are invited to agree or differ with the Adelaide lawyer's argument that whoring should not be given the stamp of parliamentary approval because 'an empowered woman does not surrender control of her body to a stranger in exchange for money'
