The Arguments in Favour of Abortion and Slavery
“The arguments for retaining slavery and abortion have more in common with each other than most people think.”
Enshrining Victimhood Into the Constitution
“The Uluru Statement from the Heart (TUSH) will not unite Australians but only divide us. It will not address the many real needs that indigenous peoples face on a day-to-day basis, and as such, it should be firmly rejected as a way forward. And that’s because it’s an attempt to undermine decision-making and due process in a western democracy that already affords aboriginal political representation.”
Justice Thomas and the Political Weaponization of the 14th Amendment
“Justice Thomas addresses the question of other Supreme Court decisions which used the Due Process Clause to federally legislate on other issues, in particular, federal rulings regarding contraception and gay marriage. Any previous decision, such as these, and which functions now as a precedent for a ‘substantive due process’ decision, should be reconsidered.”
The Colonisation of Australia Was A Blessing
“Unfortunately, there has been very little to no research on the positive contribution that colonization has made to the Australian context. But now is probably a good time to pause and pose the question, ‘What would our nation be like if colonization never occurred?’”
Trump: ‘God Made the Decision’
“That sound you’re hearing right now is the chirping of crickets. Because self-appointed cultural watchdogs are now noticeably silent.”
Roe v Wade Has Fallen!
“Just as with the falling of the Berlin Wall, there is hope that evil regimes with their murderous laws need not dominate.”

Why the Lab-Leak Theory Should Be Taken Seriously
“The unforgivable failures on so many levels means the world is still in the dark about the precise turn of events that sparked this pandemic, and this of course leaves the world vulnerable to whatever comes next.”
Biden Calls on the Taliban to Be Gender Diverse
“We are about to witness one of the worst tragedies for women and girls in modern history.”
Sesame Street, It’s Not OK To Sexualize Children
“Let’s not forget that Big Bird is six years old and Elmo is only three… but whatever, OK Groomer!”
When Did the Archibald’s Become the Marxibald’s?
On a deeper level, what is missing in so much of today’s art is the goal of what Roger Scruton argued is, ‘reclaiming beauty’.
True Reconciliation Can Only Occur Through the Gospel
To claim then that the abuse of women and children is “learnt” falsely implies that it wouldn’t have existed if European colonisation had never occurred. Indeed, it relies on the tired and offensive trope of the “noble savage”.
The New False Religion of Antiracism
“At the epicentre of the coming evangelical catastrophe is a new religion—or, more specifically, a new cult…”
When Silence is Betrayal
“If you remain silent when you ought to speak out against them, then your silence is tantamount to betrayal.”
Telling the Truth About Aboriginal Deaths in Custody
Significantly, the vast majority of Aboriginal deaths in custody are experienced by those with pre-existing health conditions, rather than anything to do with police violence or ‘systemic racism’.
When Did ‘The Bible Society’ Lose Sight of Eternity?
As has now become clear, Israel Folau lost his job as a professional athlete simply for paraphrasing a passage from the Bible. We know this is the case, since Miranda Devine subsequently reported in The Daily Telegraph, that Folau’s choice to post online would have been a problem, even if Folau had chosen to quote the Bible.
