Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said it’s just an “excuse” to blame Melbourne’s recent Islamic terrorist attack on mental health issues. In an interview on Studio 10, the Prime Minister said, “This bloke, radicalised here in Australia with extreme Islam, took a knife and cut down a fellow Australian in Bourke Street. I mean, I’m not going to make excuses for that… “He was a terrorist. He was a radical extremist terrorist who took a knife to another Australian because he’d been radicalised in this country. We can’t give him excuses, and we can’t allow others. These other issues…

Senator James Paterson has applauded Simon Birmingham for his “careful stewardship of taxpayer dollars,” after the former education minister rejected $4.2-million in recommended university research grants. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, this is the first time a minister has used such powers in more than a decade. On Twitter Labor Senator for Victoria, Kim Carr said, “last time this happened was by Brendan Nelson.” However, in Carr’s next tweet he went on to call Birmingham’s actions “unprecedented.” “The former Minister has interfered with Australia’s peer review system,” Carr tweeted. “Is it because he did not like the topics, the…

I worry that Australia is sleepwalking its way to disaster. Political correctness, identity politics and cultural Marxism have run through our institutions at an astonishing rate. Sometimes I’m asked why I wasn’t saying these things when I was leader of the Labor Party in 2004. The answer is straightforward: none of these issues were current 14 years ago. They simply didn’t exist. Australian politics has been through a remarkable period of change. Prior to the election of the Rudd Government in 2007, the budget was in surplus, our electricity supply was stable and affordable, political correctness had disappeared and only…

Queensland is celebrating the decriminalisation of abortion by turning the bridges purple, or so Jackie Trad initially thought. The state’s deputy premier posted photos on Twitter Thursday afternoon showing Victoria Bridge and Kurilpa Bridge lit up purple. “Love seeing our local bridges beaming with purple light to celebrate the passing of our bill to decriminalise abortion,” Trad said. “We’re keeping them lit up right across the weekend so make sure you go check them out.” Love seeing our local bridges beaming with purple light to celebrate the passing of our bill to decriminalise abortion. We’re keeping them lit up right…

During her recent appearance on Q&A, Labor MP Terri Butler made two terrible arguments against religious schools being able to discriminate against homosexual teachers: 1) Doesn’t your religion teach you to ‘love your neighbour’? 2) Homosexual teachers don’t teach maths any differently to heterosexual teachers. In response: 1) Of course Christians are to love their neighbours. But what does it mean to love your neighbour? Terri Butler’s absurd idea of love would also mean that a Christian school should not discriminate against an atheist being employed as a teacher, because after all, aren’t Christians called to love them? Indeed we are…

Last month Senator Pauline Hanson asked the Australian Senate to acknowledge a rise in anti-white racism, along with increased attacks on Western civilisation. Senators were also asked to acknowledge that it is “okay to be white.” Yesterday the motion was defeated 28-31. “My motion for the Senate to acknowledge the rise of anti-white racism has been defeated 28-31,” the One Nation leader tweeted. “Labor, Greens, Xenophon Team and Derryn Hinch voted against it.” “It seems the Senate doesn’t think it is okay to be white while at the same time denying the rise of anti-white racism.” My motion for the…

BBC News has asked if the word “woman” should be spelt “womxn” after the Wellcome Collection, a museum and library in London, used the term in a tweet to promote an upcoming event. According to the British public service broadcaster, “womxn refers to females, but it is an attempt to get away from patriarchal language.” The story went on to cite Dr Clara Bradbury-Rance, fellow at King’s College London, who said the spelling womxn “stems from a longstanding objection to the word woman as it comes from man, and the linguistic roots of the word mean that it really does…

The ABC’s taxpayer funded and failed program Tonightly with Tom Ballard has taken a swipe at Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s faith and the Pentecostal church he attends. A video posted to Ballard’s Facebook page says, “Some Australians are confused about Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s Evangelical faith and the role it plays in his politics. Christ rock duo The Shadow Ministers explain through song.” The song was performed by a duo pretending to be musicians from Morrison’s church. “ScoMo is under the spell of Jesus’ charm, and kids are under safety watch for self harm,” they sang. “If Jesus was a…

If you’re looking for inspiration, best steer clear of the “Inspiration” section in the latest edition of Oprah Winfrey’s “O” magazine. The July 2018 issue is promoting the ‘Shout your Abortion’ campaign. The online movement encourages women to boast about their abortion experiences without “sadness, shame or regret” for the purpose of “destigmatization, normalization, and putting an end to shame.” In the article titled, “How One Woman Became an Activist With the Hashtag #ShoutYourAbortions,” Amelia Bonow describes how she broke down in tears in 2015 after hearing news that U.S. House of Representatives had voted to defund Planned Parenthood. According…

Our politicians and media like to control the people. They’ll tell you what causes to support, what comments to be outraged at, what we can and what we cannot talk about, and which people ought to be socially rejected. Take Lauren Southern’s recent Australian tour for example. Almost every media outlet in the country had something to say about the alt-right, far-right, right-wing, homophobic, transphobic, white-supremacist, fascist, anti-feminist, Nazi, racist 23-year-old Canadian. But even Joe Hildebrand noted, “most of the news articles I’ve read don’t actually outline what her ideas are. Instead she is typically just referred to as racist,…

Labor’s National Secretary has released a consultation draft in the lead up to the party’s 2018 National Conference in December. The draft claims to “distill the policies and enduring values that Labor aspires to implement in government.” But the Australian Christian Lobby has pointed out, “hidden on page 183, we can see the party is seeking to launch and extraordinary attack on people of faith and parent’s rights.” The document states: Labor opposes the practice of so-called conversion and reparative therapies on LGBTIQ+ people and seek to criminalise these practices. “This is shocking stuff,” the ACL said. “It means that…

A proposed Code of Conduct, which is open for public submissions until August 17, could force doctors to accept ‘cultural beliefs and practises’ that are opposed to good medical practise, according to a group of doctors. The Medical Board of Australia draft code of conduct that will apply to all Australian doctors requires doctors to be “culturally safe” and comply with a patient’s beliefs about gender identity and sexuality, with no provision given for a doctor to differ in their professional judgement. A doctors’ group convened by Dr Lachlan Dunjey of Perth, has expressed concern for the future of medicine…

Queensland’s Labor state government is set to decriminalise abortion, in an effort to “bring Queensland into the 21st century,” according to Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk. Currently abortion is only legal in Queensland if the mother’s mental or physical health is in serious risk. The new laws will allow women to abort their babies up to 22 weeks, no questions asked. Doctors may refuse to perform abortions, but they must refer the patient to another practitioner. Also to be introduced is a 150-metre safe access zone around abortion clinics that could see pro-life protesters and sidewalk counsellors facing up to one year…

This is why we pay so much in tax, so self-seeking politicians can use it to buy votes. Bill Shorten says it’s time Tasmania had an AFL team of their own.

Michael Kroger has blasted Bill Shorten after the Labor leader suggested too many indigenous children are being taken away from their families. “The last thing they need is some know-it-all whitefellas to come in paternalistic, as has been happening for 200 years, and saying, ‘listen you’re just children and we’ll just fix it all for you,’” Shorten said. Kroger told Sky News, “This was a disgraceful performance by Shorten, and I might say, the low point of his leadership. The absolute low point of his leadership. This guy is a prisoner to political correctness and he is a danger to…

Abortion activists are at it again, attempting to introduce bubble-zones around New South Wales abortion facilities. As stated many times on this website, these so-called ‘safe-access zones’, also known as exclusion zones, are designed to stop advocates for life from offering assistance to desperate women who feel pressured to abort their children. They also hamper the freedom of political communication which should exist in a free society like Australia.

According to The Australian, around 400 students from seven schools helped to paint a permanent 80 meter rainbow mural on a prominent Victorian police station. The artwork was a collaboration between Merri Health and Moreland City in preparation for the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), to be held on May 17.

You hear a lot in America about the “war on women,” but it’s men in America who are failing. We have some shocking statistics: The signs are everywhere. If you’re a middle aged man, you probably know a peer who has killed himself in recent years. At least one. If you’re a parent, you may have noticed that your daughter’s friends seem a little more on the ball than your son’s. They get better grades. They smoke less weed. They go to more prestigious colleges. If you’re an employer, you may have noticed that your female employees show up on…
