Was Jordan B Peterson right about Disney’s Frozen?
“Disney has developed tools and strategies for re-engineering what women should be interested in.” Jordan B Peterson has revealed a series of private messages that seem to confirm his claim that Disney’s Frozen is, in fact, “deeply propagandistic.” Peterson copped criticism earlier this month after bringing the charge against the popular children’s film. In an interview with Time, Peterson explained: [Frozen] attempted to write a modern fable that was a counter-narrative to a classic story like, let’s say, Sleeping Beauty – but with no understanding whatsoever of the underlying archetypal dynamics… There was an attempt to craft a moral message and to build…

Save Australia Day: “Not all aboriginal people feel like victims”
Five local counsels have decided against marking 26 January as Australia Day following debate about whether the day should be moved to a less controversial date. In response, Mark Latham and Jacintha Price have together launched the Save Australia Day campaign which will be run on radio and television.
