By grabbing your phone and checking Australia’s medal tally and place on the Olympic ladder through bleary eyes: 18 golds. 14 silvers. 13 bronzes. We have broken our previous recordContinue reading “Gina Rinehart, Despised Olympic Champion”

What a ‘Free’ Palestine Would Mean Eugene Alexander Donnini The claim that Islam is a religion of peace is a nicety invented by Western politicians so as either not to offend their Muslim populations or simply lie to themselves that everything might yet turn out fine. In fact, since its beginning Islam has been prettyContinue reading “The Middle East”

Gerard Henderson I believe that, of all believers in the world, Christians are the most persecuted. The late anti-communist activist B.A. Santamaria, who along with Cardinal Pell had a role in establishing Aid to the Church in Need here in Australia, was wont to say that anti-Catholicism was the anti-Semitism of the intelligentsia. I understandContinue reading “George Pell and His Antagonists”

The Incoherent Roadmap to Net Zero John Cameron In 2021 we were confidently told that it would cost $78 billion to rewire the grid for renewables and that the average annual household electricity bill would fall by $275 under Labor because, as Anthony Albanese explained, ‘we have done the modelling’2. Despite the Prime Minister’s assurances,Continue reading “Energy”

Beatified by an Assassin’s Bullet? Peter Smith Providence or random chance? Which was it that saved Donald Trump? And, if providence, are we to attribute it to the Lord God Almighty of the Christian and Jewish Bible? To satisfy the mob, my inclination is to say, I don’t know. But that would not be true.Continue reading “America”

Trump Wounded. God Help America Now Guess what happens when you and all your legions  brand a political opponent a dictator, tyrant, rapist and, as voting day draws near, the American Hitler? Here’s what happens: Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop … then a pause and then … pop, pop,pop, pop. And Donald Trump goes downContinue reading “America”

Why aren’t Hamas Groupies Forced to Pay? Peter O’Brien Free speech is a bedrock of democracy.  But we should be clear on what it is.  And what it isn’t.   Essentially it means that, except in extreme circumstances you, an individual, cannot be prosecuted for expressing an opinion that the government does not like.  It isContinue reading “Society”

Things That Go Slump in the Night Rafe Champion Severe wind droughts are prolonged spells with next to no wind across continental areas. They also exist offshore as any sailor who has been becalmed knows full well. Wind droughts will kill the green-power fantasy, and they have the potential to deal a massive blow toContinue reading “Doomed Planet”

Captain Cook and the Black Children Michael Connor Contributing editor If Martians had landed on the front beach of my home town in the middle of my childhood, a small boy and his dog (Larry) would have been straight down to see what they were doing. Also present would have been Mr Porter the policeman,Continue reading “History”

Peter O’Brien Like Tony Thomas I am a lover of classical music. That is my favourite but I Iike most genres, and jazz is right up there, although I’m no expert.  My wife definitely prefers jazz.  That is why Saturday night is America Night in our musical programme. Last Saturday night, just before I pulledContinue reading “Stars of David”

The Left’s Relentless War on Faith Mervyn Bendle A very powerful cabal within the Australian Left aims to strictly control and eventually eliminate religious faith, and it appears the time is coming when Christians and others will be called upon to resist the onslaught. As Chris Uhlmann points out: “A religious civil war is ragingContinue reading “Religion”

Paul Collits If you haven’t heard of Eva Vlaardingerbroek before, well, you have now.  Perhaps you have previously seen her on The Mark Steyn Show.  Given her name (the second one), you’ve probably guessed that she is Dutch. She has just scored somewhere approaching 50 million views of a speech she has delivered in Budapest,Continue reading “It’s Not Your Grandfather’s Colonialism”

A UN Vote That Will Live in Infamy Peter O’Brien On the 7th of October last year, the terrorist group Hamas, which rules in Gaza and purports to represent the state of “Palestine”, committed the most foul attack upon Jewish people since the Holocaust.  Within days, that atrocity was celebrated all over the world, includingContinue reading “Israel”

Mervyn Bendle Do the vice-chancellors of our universities really think they are going to get away with their blatant sanctioning of the current, vile anti-Semitic protests at our universities? Perhaps they feel comfortable aligning themselves with the same ugly forces that stampeded towards the Sydney Opera House to shut down the statement of support forContinue reading “Vice-Chancellors Wrapped in Shame and Keffiyehs”
