Abortion: A New Form of Contraception?
By Penelope Dawson The decriminalisation of abortion across the Western world has provided a ‘back-up’ option for women in cases where contraception has failed, meaning that no man need ever fear a shotgun wedding. When motherhood became a biological choice for women, fatherhood became a social choice for men. Or, as the comedian Dave Chapelle has put it (in jest, but describing a real attitude): … Continue reading Abortion: A New Form of Contraception?

Much ado about nothing? Explaining conservatives’ presence on the SRC.
Written by Will Nicholas Electing a candidate to the SRC is like trying to squeeze water out of stone. Campaigners gouge support out of a granite-like slab of apathy which smothers the interest of even the most politically engaged. The polls themselves cause blood to boil and students to despair about the state of discourse. It’s no wonder that most tickets resort to the politics … Continue reading Much ado about nothing? Explaining conservatives’ presence on the SRC.

Why Barbie is actually a conservative critique of society
By Aryan Ilkhani Stay with me on this one guys… Barbie may actually be a Conservative movie and Greta Gerwig may have played an ingenious trick of the century. You heard that right. Let’s start with how I came to this semi-genuine realisation. As your average trend follower wanting to experience pop culture, I decided I would do a ‘Barbenheimer’ and watch Nolan’s Oppenheimer followed … Continue reading Why Barbie is actually a conservative critique of society

Indexing tax brackets: A common sense solution to alleviate the effects of bracket creep
Written by Satvik Sharma To say Australians are currently facing it tough is an understatement. With 7% inflation rates and interest rates at their highest levels in a decade, families are being squeezed with skyrocketing costs all while their savings deteriorate in real value faster and faster. And the impacts of inflation are not just limited to families, with the job market tightening as businesses … Continue reading Indexing tax brackets: A common sense solution to alleviate the effects of bracket creep

Ergo EIS: Lessons from the United Kingdom’s financial framework
Written by Bryson Constable. Australia’s story of economic reform centres around the neoliberal policies enacted under Paul Keating, both as Treasurer and Prime Minister. But real, beneficial tax reform has only ever occurred under conservative-minded politicians. It was William McMahon that conducted the Asprey Review into the taxation system, John Howard who introduced the GST, and Scott Morrison who agreed to a revolutionary global 15% … Continue reading Ergo EIS: Lessons from the United Kingdom’s financial framework

Why Federation reform is more urgent than you think
Any true blooded Australian conservative can plainly see the almost existential crisis that is faced by the west. Increasing inflation coupled with obscenely bloated government deficits, the rise of belligerent hostile powers like China and the perpetuation by the left of destructive social theories, the 2020’s is seeming to threaten the very fabric of Western life. And it is patently obvious that Australia is not … Continue reading Why Federation reform is more urgent than you think

Statues on Campus: Preserving our History
Since the dawn of time, societies have erected statues to those whom they considered worthy of veneration and remembrance. In the western world, universities have been a long-standing canvas for the existence and upkeep of statues and monoliths dedicated to great thinkers and figures of history. Many would be surprised to learn that medieval centres of education held busts of the likes of Socrates long … Continue reading Statues on Campus: Preserving our History
A critique of modern conservative commentary of art – and how we ressurect aesthetic.
Written by Jack Scott The term culture wars has a long conservative pedigree. From Von Bismarck’s attempts to Prussianise the new German empire, to Pat Buchanan’s 1992 call to wage a culture war on the increasingly out of touch American elites. A call now taken up by a new generation of conservative commentators and activists. Yet even as the left descends further and further into … Continue reading A critique of modern conservative commentary of art – and how we ressurect aesthetic.
Quality And Quantity – Why Housing Isn’t a Zero-Sum Game
By Bryson Constable A young conservative, who shall remain nameless, once said to me that they wished for “Sydney to look like Hong Kong.” To me, this is the same as saying that the Northern Beaches would be best served if, instead of being home to sandy oases’ and bustling town centres, it resembled a scene from Blade Runner. Now, no reflection on this young … Continue reading Quality And Quantity – Why Housing Isn’t a Zero-Sum Game
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Matildas
By Nicholas Comino Not since the 2000 Olympics has Australia seen the level of almost universal excitement shown towards the Matildas, whose matches continue to deliver television and streaming ratings the likes our country hasn’t seen either in decades, or ever. People are holding watch parties at their homes, pubs are completely booked out and fan sites have become so packed they’ve been forced to … Continue reading How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Matildas
Payroll Tax: What it is and why it needs reform
