Our peak science bureaucracy wants 'Indigenous scientists' to pair with their Western counterparts and, in the testimony of Aboriginal academic Professor Bradley Moggridge, 'have their knowledge seen as equal'. Honestly, you would laugh out loud if it wasn't such a threat to genuine learning

Too much money chases too few ideas and the distorting pressure to obtain grants for fashionable topics, such as climate alarmism, makes the damage worse. Karl Popper saw all this coming more than 70 years ago. The remedy he offered remains both viable and needed

The nakedly political dismissal of hydroxychloroquine during the Covid years is a shameful illustration of destructive forces brought to bear on how medicine is practised in Australia.

One only need cast one’s mind back to the darker days of the Covid pandemic to recall the relish with which suddenly famous scientists and omnipotent moral busybodies went about tormenting the populace for its own good.

What is so often called 'the science' has little in common with the scientific. Take CMOs and climateers, for example, who presume a papal authority when invoking their alleged expertise, all doubts and doubters fit only to be damned. Thus are dominant narratives born and sustained, rendering sceptics fit only to be shunned and damned
