QED

Culture Begetting Politics, Politics Begetting Culture

  • Peter Smith
  • 14th May 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (13)

The Liberal-National coalition is much better than the alternative across border protection, defence and probably economic management. These aren’t small things. They are vital things. But so is having a sane climate policy and social policies which align with traditional Western values

The Battle That Saved Australia

  • Tom Lewis

Eighty years ago this weekend Japan's plans to seize Port Moresby and thereby dominate Australia's east coast were foiled at the Battle of the Coral Sea. More than that significant victory, the encounter between two naval forces which never came within gun range of each other marked the end of the battleship era and the ascendancy of the aircraft carrier

Independent? Depends How You Define It

  • Ross Fitzgerald

Simon Holmes a Court's political harem of white, well-heeled women of the Left talk a good game about their independence but never reveal anything more than the various degrees of their climate hysteria. Contrast those queens of the Corflute sign with bona fide independent Dai Le, running against Kristina Keneally in Fowler

Lessons from the Hannah Clarke Inquest

  • Bettina Arndt
  • 28th April 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (12)

The inquest into the horrific fire-bomb deaths of Hannah Clark and her three children at the hands of an estranged husband was not a fact-finding mission. Rather, it was a posthumous show trial that sought to hitch the monstrous act of a 'powder keg man' to the wagon of the latest feminist bandwagon – enthusiastic consent and, more importantly, the concept of 'coercive control'

Have We Ever seen a War Like This One?

  • Peter Smith

Is it conceivable that the Ukraine war will end with Russia defeated and repentant? Seems as unlikely as a democratic Afghanistan. A negotiated compromise might be possible over coming months. But what if the war, fuelled by weaponry without limit, goes on and on for years? What then?

Longfellow Wrongfellow

  • Christopher Akehurst
  • 26th April 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (2)

Were the poet to take up his pen these days, well let's just say his gendered language, patriarchal values and indifference to rainbow issues would see him urged to change his ways or be stripped of arts-grant funding. How difficult, the commissars of culture might ask, would it be to produce couplets hailing non-binary toilet blocks and the green majesty of wind turbines

Political Marriages That Worked … and Didn’t

  • Ross Fitzgerald
  • 25th April 2022

My record as a political prognosticator isn't too shabby, so here's another prophecy you can take to the bank: Win, lose or hung parliament on May 21, it is likely that, at some stage in the not too distant future, Josh Frydenberg will take over from Morrison as leader of the federal Liberal Party

The Heart of Australia, Then and Now

  • Roger Underwood
  • 19th April 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (38)

'There will always be an Australian people,' John Curtin told the nation in March 1942, when Darwin was rubble and Broome strewn with corpses. In a remote WA farmhouse my father heard that broadcast and watched an old cocky rise from his chair to clean his rifle. These days, according to a recent poll, more Australians would flee than fight. Where and why has that old spirit gone?

Of Oranges, Balls and Sexual Shape-Shifting

  • Peter Smith
  • 18th April 2022

A cricket ball is a spherical object of specified weight and size with a cork core inside tightly wound string covered by a leather case. Were an eccentric neighbour to insist his orange is a cricket ball, we might let it pass out of kindness but would not go so far as to actually use it in a cricket match. Why, one wonders, are woke definitions of male and female not subjected to reality's likewise scrutiny?

The 2000-Year Legacy of the Jewish Wars

  • Mervyn Bendle
  • 17th April 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (12)

Mystery, myth and legend surround the second and third of the horrendous conflicts between Jews and Romans, leaving historians with the daunting task of weighing the zealotry, schisms and slaughters that ultimately led to the destruction of the Temple and may well have accounted for the concealment in their desert caves of the Dead sea Scrolls
