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

The Voice to Parliament: Before Deciding, We Need a Specific Model

The Voice referendum is perhaps the most significant climacteric of the twenty-first century for the direction – and credibility – of the incomplete fight to close the gap.

COVID-19 and looking beyond ourselves

We live in a world where the only thing that matters is the ‘self’. It is an age where the concepts of ‘individualism’, ‘autonomy’ and ‘freedom’ are unchallenged. We take pride in our unfettered existence: we are at liberty to make our choices in our own world, subject to our own set of ever-malleable principles. Instant gratification is closely related to this obsession with ourselves. … Continue reading COVID-19 and looking beyond ourselves

An Appeal to Government: Govern According to Law

The coronavirus pandemic presents a novel challenge for the world. Novel, not in the sense that mankind has not encountered large scale medical or existential challenges before, but in the sense that our global community is more connected than ever, presenting a more difficult challenge for containment of the viral and economic contagion.
