AUSTRALIA has been warned to further ramp up defence planning as China utilises aggression to mask its economic decline. Faced with halved economic growth, a collapsing workforce, uncontained debt and political restlessness, experts have warned the Chinese Communist Party is in a world of pain and “unpredictable”.
THE politicians are ruining Australia far sooner than anyone ever expected.It was always self-evident that a lockdown of the productive sector must be a last resort. The first was completely unjustified. It has, without explanation, morphed from “flattening the curve” to preventing hospital crowding to eradication, which is impossible.
TOO many politicians seemingly embrace the moral low ground with almost every ethical decision laid before them. Whether its sexualising pre-teens in the classroom, giving the nod to late term abortions, watering down bestiality laws or allowing HIV-infected people to “hide” their condition from bed partners – they almost always manage to defile themselves.
WITH an ALP break-up being openly discussed, the Liberal Party risks having its own voter base ravaged by a sensible centrist Labor offshoot.
As Labor continues to be torn in two between its inner city socialist voters and regional working families, faction leader Joel Fitzgibbon has hinted the Party may need to split.
CATHOLIC schools teaching atheism and queer gender theory are in “dangerous territory” and risk losing public funding according to a senior NSW MP. The Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta this week announced atheism and LGBTQ identity theory were to be included in its 2021 religious curriculum.
WHEN a commercial media outlet engages in a serious and unacceptable breach of ethical standards, the solution is simple. Turn it off or don’t read it. Where this is a public broadcaster, reforming its governance, even questioning its very existence, must follow.

ULTRA-Left NSW MP Matt Kean has suggested he is the future of the Liberal Party – and not conservatives such as Menzies, Howard or Abbott.
In what could only be described as a self-congratulatory piece in Friday’s Australian Financial Review, the NSW minister spoke of his government-supplied Tesla, his Greens Party agenda as well as his disapproval of former PM Tony Abbott. He also provided a glimpse of his deep dislike for US President Donald Trump.
NSW One Nation Leader Mark Latham has described Christianity as a punching bag for “sneering bigots” as long-promised religious freedom laws were shelved by the Australian parliament. In response to Canberra’s anti-religion posture, Mr Latham has introduced similar legislation into the NSW Parliament and is furiously working with MPs across Party lines to see it passed.
LABOR’S former king maker Graham Richardson has declared climate change politics dead and buried as the Australian economy faces more important challenges. He said a shift away from renewable energy was a post-COVID “fact” — regardless of the ructions it would cause within his own political Party.
FEWER than a thousand of Labor’s 50,000 illegal boat arrivals between 2008-13 were legitimate refugees, according to an ALP-appointed immigration expert. Former Refugee Review Tribunal member Simon Jeans said the cost of processing these false claims was already upwards of $16b and would continue to clog up Australia’s appeals courts at least until 2026.
