AUSTRALIA’S domestic spy agency’s decision to drop sensitive labels such as “Left-Right” and “Islamic extremism” has received a mixed reaction, with one religious expert saying the shift to broader terminology could inadvertently mislead public perception of extremist behaviour.
THE witch-hunt against Attorney-General Christian Porter is far more sinister than it initially would seem. It comes from a clandestine politically correct operation soaking up taxpayer-funded resources for a range of political campaigns from a shady, out-of-control ABC fiefdom.
AUSTRALIAN of the Year Grace Tame spoke at one of the nation-wide “Women’s March 4 Justice” rallies on Monday, calling for an end to sexual violence against women while also making a point to say that men are not the enemy. Speaking at a rally in Hobart, in the southern island state of Tasmania, Ms Tame said all woman had a story of some form of sexual violence or abuse.
RECENT events prove how destructive and widespread cancel culture is and how intent neo-Marxist inspired activists are to rewrite history and undermine and denigrate what is best about Western civilisation and societies like Australia. The most recent example involves Adam Smith, the renowned 18th century economist and philosopher whose highly influential book The Wealth of Nations revolutionised the study of commerce and who many consider one of the leading lights of the Scottish Enlightenment.
OUR most immediate and now well understood threat is from China. Yet people think an attack can’t happen, which was the mindset about Japan before Pearl Harbour. America saved Australia from being invaded and subjugated, and from large portions of our populace from being raped. The Russians raped two million Germans in 1945, about 200,000 of whom subsequently suicided.
OPPORTUNISTIC pro-republicans have completely misread the public mood, demanding Australia break ties with the monarchy at a time when support for Queen Elizabeth is surging.
In the wake of a nasty tell-all interview with two of the world’s most privileged “victims”, Australia’s anti-monarchist politicians scrambled to cash-in after the royal family was called racist and mean.
THE Australian parliament and the Scott Morrison government are being rocked by an incident where a young female advisor alleges being raped in a minister’s office where she worked after returning from a night’s drinking with colleagues. As a teenage boy seeing his mother beaten and assaulted as a result of domestic violence I’m the first to agree too many women are shamefully abused and victimised by men. At the same time I refuse to believe society is riven with misogyny, that all men are guilty and that women are always passive victims.
A MELBOURNE academic believes women are not standing up for their rights to have female-only spaces – like single-gender changing rooms – for fear they will be targeted as transphobic. Alongside this, she believes that the increasing encroachment of gender-neutral language, such as “chest-feeding” and “gestational carrier,” is impacting the rights of women; who are allowing it for the sake of being “progressive,” without pausing to consider whether it is in the interests of women.
THE Australian National University in Canberra has gone gender-woke replacing the words mum and dad with “birthing parent” and “non-gestational parent”. All references to mothers and fathers have been banned, with the university’s Gender Institute handbook ordering staff to use “gender inclusive” titles instead.
THE vitriolic, personal attacks on the tennis great Margaret Court provide the most recent example of the poisonous impact of cancel culture as does the perennial complaint by black activists that the First Fleet’s arrival celebrated on Australia Day heralds the beginning of Aboriginal genocide. Even “It’s your ABC” has gone to the dark side describing the nation’s birth as invasion day.
