I recently had an exchange with someone who commented on one of my QoL pieces. At issue was whether religions are mere superstitions. I responded in part: “All but two are. Christianity for which we have eye witness accounts and Judaism as the root of Christianity are the truth; ergo
In a judgment, rendered on August 23, 2024, Justice Robert Bromwich of the Federal Court of Australia decided the case of Tickle v Giggle for Girls Pty Ltd (No 2).[1] The judgement dealt with a discrimination charge brought by transgender Roxanne Tickle, against Sally Grover and her Giggle for Girls
My paternal grandfather, Vincent O’Brien, was an accountant. He was also, probably co-incidentally, a very quiet, dour man. He was kindly enough, but not the sort of grandfather you would jump all over as my grandkids had no hesitation in doing. I don’t think I ever heard him tell a
Back in March, Janet Albrechtsen wrote a subversive article in The Australian, as is her wont. It was given the title Secret Truths of a Stay-Home Mother, and was accompanied by some delightful snapshots of Ms Albrechtsen with her three children.

It was a wet weekend. Why not play a climate game instead of trying to game the climate like almost everyone else? There’s one for every age: kids, adults, students, activists, “carbon” capitalists, RE fans and fanatics. Governments and international agencies are playing them too. Monetizing the atmosphere at our
Some people might be content with the state of Australia in the year of our Lord 2024. I have one or two, or five or six, concerns. How to put one’s finger on it without trying to list every modern-day ill? It came to me. Those whom the gods wish
We all have our peculiar interests, some of which can become engrossing hobbies. Mine is keeping an eye on what Australia’s media representatives in the United States are reporting to the folks back home and the great gulf that so often separates their dispatches from on-the-ground reality. Sometimes this passion
On Friday (US time) the unthinkable came to pass: A Kennedy, the closest America gets to political royalty, endorsed Donald Trump. Below, the edited text of his announcement, in which he lays out his reasons: lawfare, the corruption of a forever lying media, the fear, as he puts it, that
Here’s a macabre little story that illustrates where humanity is headed – let’s call it The Life of Zye even though Zye never had a real name, or a life. It all began in the usual way, with the coupling of the mum and dad he never knew, which resulted
Recently, Tony Thomas and Alistair Crooks have brought to our attention the continuing push to include traditional Aboriginal knowledge in all our scientific endeavours — indeed, to embed Aboriginal ‘science’ in mainstream science.
