WOMEN are responsible for disproportionately fewer females entering politics, according to high profile political figures Amanda Stoker and Jacinta Price. They claim they owe their success in the Liberal Party largely to the support and guidance of “great” men.
STATE education ministers are pushing back against a new national curriculum that all but demonises Western culture and its freedoms. NSW and South Australian education ministers have joined with their federal counterpart Mr Alan Tudge to oppose the proposed curriculum, calling it “unimpressive” and “unscientific”.
THE Chinese regime’s mouthpiece, Global Times, has criticised Australia’s increased national security spending, accusing Canberra of “further escalating regional confrontation”. The newspaper’s report on Wednesday titled “Canberra’s Defence Spending Means More Economic Carnage,” also accused Australia of “relentless and unreasonable provocations” and warned of retaliation.
THE drums of war are indeed beating. And it may well be that Australia will again be sending her warriors overseas. These are “brutal truths”, notwithstanding Canberra’s denigration of our soldiers’ ancient “warrior culture”. After all, is it still not the aim of the army to kill the enemy, and to accept for themselves, as Pericles said “joyfully”, the risk of death?

HOW long will Australians tolerate politicians abusing their powers, while under-performing in so many areas under their responsibility, such as education?

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.
CHINA continues to be completely unnerved by Australia despite its economic strength and growing military might. After more than 70 years controlling its own citizens – by force if necessary – the Chinese Communist Party is increasingly frustrated at not being able to control Australians.
WHITE school children have nothing to apologise for and Australia’s appalling new curriculum should be junked according to indigenous leaders and NSW politicians. High-profile businessman Anthony Mundine said the proposed curriculum was “starting down the path of critical race theory”.
THE US State Department will soon sign-off a A$2.6b arms deal to the Australian government for 160 new Abrams tanks and four Chinook helicopters.
