DOES the Australian political class despise young Australians as much as they despise self-funded retirees, mum-and-dad farmers, coal miners and those who have so valiantly risked their lives for their country, our veterans (and not only on Anzac Day)?
PRIME Minister Scott Morrison has come out swinging against the Left’s divisive cultural agenda in a speech that has renewed hope among centre-right conservatives. Mr Morrison’s powerful speech last week – coupled with his Defence Minister Peter Dutton’s earlier warning that a PC-obsessed military needed to “get back to business” – has buoyed a heavily browbeaten nation.
GRASSROOTS Liberal Party members have pleaded for Prime Minister Scott Morrison to follow China’s lead if his government does decide to set emissions targets. With the Party wracked with conflicting carbon emissions goals – and WA & NSW divisions effectively going rogue – Party members have called for a return to a sensible and unified approach.
SECRETARY of the NSW Liberal Women’s Council Natarsha Terreio has described quotas as “tokenism”, while arguing that there is no gender discrimination in Party preselections. “The problem isn’t that women aren’t winning preselection,” Ms Terreio said. “It’s that far fewer women than men are putting themselves forward. The data is clear.”
CLIMATE “emergencies” have nothing to do with science and everything to do with political control, according to three of the world’s leading climate scientists.

US STATE Department spokesman Ned Price said the United States supports Australia’s decision to cancel two Belt & Road Initiative arrangements with Beijing. “We continue to stand with the people of Australia as they bear the brunt of the PRC’s coercive behaviour,” Mr Price said.
AUSTRALIA’s defence chiefs have been told to quit their bleeding-heart posturing and to toughen up. After years of governments pandering to a military obsessed with gender fluidity and political correctness, new Defence Minister Peter Dutton has ordered the armed services to “get back to business”.
THE world is at greater risk of polarisation, and like-minded, democratic nations needed to work together to carry the “aspirations of the future” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said. In a recorded speech to the Raisina Dialogue in India, the Prime Minister said Australia was “not blind” to the realities of the state of the world.
THE High Court will soon have the opportunity of demonstrating that traditional academic freedom and freedom of expression are still alive in Australia. The decision they hand down in Peter Ridd v James Cook University will rank in importance with the Court’s unanimous decision concerning Cardinal Pell, reaffirming the presumption of innocence and that guilt be proved beyond reasonable doubt.
DEPUTY NSW Premier John Barilaro says he backs coal to the hilt while his energy minister Matt Kean has announced he wants to be completely rid of it. Mr Barilaro has promised there would never be a moratorium on coal while Mr Kean’s failed choice for climate tsar, Malcolm Turnbull, publicly pushed for an immediate end to coal mining licences.
