There are two explanations for voting left in today’s world, neither at all similar to my Dad's reasons for doing so in a different and now vanished world. One reason is the simple desire to tear down and destroy, much as a delinquent teen delights in vandalism for the sheer devilment of it. The other is a reflection of the first: arrested development

Scott Morrison built up massive public debt to fund the premiers' lockdowns, a splurge that has disrupted the natural pattern of Labor running up debts the Coalition must service and shrink. Now it's up to Labor to repair the damage while pouring more billions down the green drain. Things are looking grim indeed

The times are made for conservatism. They always are, but particularly in today’s world, where fringe causes monopolise the public square and irrational fears drown good sense. Workers are crying out for conservatism, without quite knowing they are. Ms Truss, alas, lacked the nous to open their eyes and the resolve to lead them there

Left-wing, lately green-hued, governments, wreaking untold harm, would have been far fewer in the number but for sub-21-year-olds voting. Now George Williams, a constitutional scholar who really should know better, wants the voting age lowered to 16. As bad ideas go, this one takes the cake

The attacks on Andrew Thorburn and his City on a Hill church came as no surprise, bigotry and intolerance being par for the course in our post-Christian and vindictive age. What did surprise was, with a few exceptions, the absence of any full-throated defence on the part of church leaders, most of whom seem shamefully reluctant to cite the Bible as the source and basis of their beliefs

Of course, it’s not sufficient to condemn Giorgia Meloni's slogan 'God, nation and family', as the mainstream media and establishment pundits are doing. No, we must extol the polar opposites -- globalism, Gaia and good citizens who do as they are told. After all, ever-changing fads and fashions simply have to be respected

If you've not heard of Italian physicist Gianluca Alimonti, no surprise there. As the lead author of a study that rates the so-called climate crisis as so much overblown nonsense, his is not the kind of news welcomed by vendors of green snake oil, rent-seekers and the climate hysterics in their thrall. So here for the record are some of his team's findings

Not to put too fine a point on it, but central bankers have bungled their jobs. What we're seeing was entirely predictable yet seems to have come as a complete surprise -- another instance of being led astray by the same old error-strewn Keynesian script

An ad we should have seen by now: 'Positions vacant: Electricians to upgrade the wiring of 3.8 million households by 2030, to upgrade all substations and wiring to and from those substations'. Well, nothing close to it can be done. What those spruiking renewables refuse to grasp is that resistance comes not from carbon lovers and coal companies but from reality

When all is said and done, the upstart Southern Cross Diocese has simply stayed true to the faith as written in the Bible, not as some woke Anglican clergy would like it to be written. The established Church has created this schism, not those who’ve had the strength of character to break away
