In 1929, when the track to the summit of Mt Warning and its spectacular views was opened, a local dignitary proclaimed the site a permanent reminder that all Australians are entitled to access and enjoy the beauty of nature. Almost 100 years later, that is no longer true. Now, aided by NSW bureaucrats' mismanagement, it belongs only to a small group of local Aborigines

How surprised must the Aboriginal groups seeking control of Mt Warning have been when their demand was blessed with a meek and submissive 'yes' from a mouse-like NSW government? Every other Australian should be appalled that access to the first point on the mainland touched by the dawning sun has been denied them solely on the basis of race

The Australis Statement from the Sea, named after the ship Australis that brought so many migrants to these shores, calls for recognition of Third Wave citizens who arrived after World War II. If we're going to divide the nation according to race and ethnicity, might as well do a proper job of it

One cost estimate for NSW's most recent lockdown runs to around $18 billion, a sum for which I figured there must surely be some official appraisal of the benefits seen as likely to be bestowed, given that the law requires any expenditure of $10 million to be justified. Much to my surprise it seems nothing of the kind exists or, if it does, is ever likely to be released

The federal government has ordered a nationwide snap lockout of all residential and commercial buildings on the advice of the Chief Engineering Officer. Taking note of the recent apartment tower collapse in Florida, Professor Bernice Cumbersome said the threat to Australians was palpable and all who object want Granny to die beneath a pile of rubble

It was immense bad luck for a Scottish backpacker and his companions to park their car unknowingly in the middle of a three-corner feud between two Aboriginal groups and, allied with the far less credible claimants on the basis of no evidence whatsoever and much against, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service

In October 2018 Parks Australia banned public access to the summit of Ayers Rock/Uluru on the basis of spurious safety and environmental reasons and contested cultural claims. They ignored the views of Aboriginal elders who had been born at the Rock, who had acted as climbing guides and encouraged people to climb and had made […]

The public service stewards of Mt Warning National Park once urged visitors to make the 'fantastic walk' to the summit for 'dazzling views'. Today, it is the alleged hazards of visiting the peak that dominate the NPWS website, all to be taken with a bucket of salt. In banishing visitors, as is happening in other locations across the country, the bureaucrats' real intent is to make life easier for themselves

The case to shut the walking track to the summit of Mount Warning is built on a foundation of lies and faux facts that, were they to be piled one atop the other, would soar far beyond the former volcano's spectacular peak. Once again, at the behest of activists and to the delight of bureaucrats, Australians are being denied and divided according to race and myth

Most Quadrant readers will likely think poorly of Rudd & Co, but credit where it is due: when the panic merchants came calling with warnings of the megadeath the then-latest virus doing the rounds would wreak, Ms Roxon sent them on their way with the sheaves of dire predictions they rode in on. Alas that such good sense prevailed today
