THE case for the Commonwealth is compelling when we watch a weak American President perform in uncertain times. Joe Biden has rarely been right on foreign policy in forty years – even before his cognitive decline he opposed finding and killing Osama…
AFTER almost 50 years of unjustified attacks on Queen Elizabeth over the Whitlam dismissal, pro-republicans are now calling her a coward for not playing an active role. Gough Whitlam’s insolvent Labor government was sacked in 1975 by then governor-general Sir John Kerr…
EFFORTS to remove Australia’s sovereign Head of State have been expanded into a plot by pro-republicans to irreversibly render Australia unrecognisable. Anti-Christian, anti-white, anti-male and anti-Western sentiments ooze from their messaging, providing a frightful insight into the kind of nation they hope…
CAN you identify one major problem facing Australia, which, if it were not created by the politicians, has not been made significantly worse by them? This is a question I sometimes ask, especially when invited to speak on the pressing need for…
AUSTRALIA owes much to the late Prince Philip, who was born about a hundred years ago on a dining room table in Corfu, prior to being smuggled out of Greece in a fruit crate. His parents were dysfunctional, his family had to live in exile, they had no money, and practicably speaking he became an orphan at a young age after his mother was scheduled and his father (who was a poor type) basically abandoned him and eloped with a series of mistresses.
THE Queen’s Birthday on June 14 for most of Australia, September 27 in Western Australia and October 4 in Queensland, annoys many in the political class.
Just the fact that it exists enrages pretend republicans who prefer a fraudulent imitation of the current model, a politicians’ republic, rather than honestly basing theirs on the world’s most successful republic, the United States.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has backed changes to the Australian Constitution that will permanently embed identity politics at the heart of the nation. The Premier this week revealed that she’s in lockstep with the Left-posturing ABC, Sydney Morning Herald and other low-circulation media organisations.
HOW long will Australians tolerate politicians abusing their powers, while under-performing in so many areas under their responsibility, such as education? We live under a constitution based on the eternal rule that power tends to corrupt. An increasing number of Australians suspect the Wuhan virus is being used to create fear and thus an acceptance of draconian solutions used to win elections and even to maintain opinion polling ratings.
WE OWE them, our dear Queen Elizabeth and the late Prince Philip, a debt greater than they would ever claim and we shall ever know. With the departure of that great and heroic Prince, Philip, we are reminded of how our ancient monarchy is now dedicated, as the Queen indicated when she attained her 21st year, to our service and the service of the great family to which we all belong, the Commonwealth.
AS A teenager growing up in England I was an active Trotskyist. My pal and fellow Trotskyist PJ and I devised a petition to have Queen Elizabeth – or Mrs Elizabeth Windsor as we preferred to called her – her husband, the late Duke of Edinburgh, and her children, evicted from Buckingham Palace and re-housed in a modest semi-detached home in the outer London dormitory suburb of Croydon.
