Governments around the world continue to assure citizens that digital identity systems are being introduced for our own convenience and protection. We are told they will reduce fraud, simplify access to government services, streamline banking, improve healthcare and make everyday life easier. Presented this way, digital ID appears to be little more...

The Australian government is pushing yet another layer of control over the internet with the proposed Digital Duty of Care. Sold as a sensible measure to protect users from "harm," this legislation would empower regulators; most likely the already notorious eSafety Commissioner or an entirely new censorship bureaucracy, to force digital platforms t...

Recently I found myself trying to trace some old school friends from the early 1970s. The exercise began as little more than nostalgia. Surely, I thought, after more than fifty years there would be some trace of them online. A university profile. A newspaper article. A business website. A social media account. Something. Instead, I found almost not...

US President Theodore Roosevelt's words cut straight through the comfortable haze of modern life: "Freedom is not a gift that lasts long in the hands of cowards." It is not a comfortable pillow to rest upon once won. It is a hard-won possession that demands constant vigilance, personal courage, and a willingness to stand when it would be easier to ...

There are things commonly said in pubs, footy clubs, late-night radio shows and private conversations that do not belong in the official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia, even over a scotch whiskey. That distinction seems obvious, or at least it once did. Yet the latest controversy surrounding Anthony Albanese's appearance on Nikki Osbo...

Vax mania: with every winter, the familiar call goes out again. Roll up your sleeve. Get the flu jab. It's quick, it's responsible, and it will keep you and those around you safer through the cold months. For many people, it has become as routine as changing the batteries in the smoke detector or putting on a coat before stepping outside. Yet even ...

A recent article on Medium discussed the INFJ, often described as the world's rarest personality type. Like millions of others, I found myself reading through the familiar list of characteristics: introverted, intuitive, guided by values, analytical, independent, idealistic. Some points certainly resonated. Others did not. But what interested me mo...

Most Christians know the story of Jesus walking on the water. It is usually understood as a miracle demonstrating Christ's power over nature while rescuing His frightened disciples from a storm. Yet hidden within Mark's account is a single sentence that has puzzled readers for centuries: "He was about to pass by them." (Mark 6:48) At first glance, ...

The European Union's new Migration Pact, now in force across the continent, is being sold to the public as a pragmatic compromise, a long-overdue tightening of the rules after years of chaos at the borders. Brussels speaks of better screening, faster returns, and "solidarity" between member states. In reality, this sprawling package of regulations ...

Britain's proud tradition of policing by consent is fraying badly. Recent incidents reveal a troubling pattern: not merely the much-discussed "two-tier policing" that appears to treat different groups unequally, but something deeper and more disturbing, the steady emergence of a police state mentality where officers are deployed to intimidate criti...

In late June 2026, the Australian Historical Association (AHA) offered an extraordinary illustration of the gap that can exist between academic ideals and academic practice. The theme of its annual conference in Sydney was "Changing Minds," a celebration, supposedly, of historians revising their views in light of new evidence and fresh argument. Ye...

The demographic transformation of Britain continues its relentless march, and higher education stands as one of its clearest battlegrounds. New data reveals that White British students have become a minority at 27 UK universities in the 2024-25 academic year, more than double the number from just a decade ago. At institutions like Aston University ...

A recent paper (linked below), argues that many of the stresses and anxieties of modern life may arise because our brains evolved for a very different environment. For hundreds of thousands of years, our ancestors lived in small hunter-gatherer bands where social relationships were personal, threats were immediate, and competition was local. Today ...

There is a peculiar anxiety that grips the cosmopolitan universalist/globalist whenever ordinary people express simple, unapologetic love for their own country. Flags waved at national celebrations, songs sung with genuine pride, or even the quiet assertion that a nation has the right to put its own people first, these things provoke an instinctive...

Let's take pop science, and run it through Uncle Bill's handy dandy BS detector. Science is supposed to be our antidote to sensationalism. We expect careful reasoning, precise language, and conclusions that accurately reflect the evidence. Yet even popular science journalism is increasingly succumbing to the temptations of the attention economy. A ...

 Three years after Australians delivered a resounding No to the Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the 2023 referendum, with over 60% voting against it nationally and every state rejecting the proposal, elements of the Left are at it again. Sally McManus and the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) have submitted to a parliamentary inquiry...

 Former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard recently faced questions in the UK about her government's 2013 amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act. Those changes removed explicit biological definitions of "man" and "woman," added "gender identity" as a protected attribute, and expanded anti-discrimination protections. In response to conce...

 The Vatican under Pope Leo XIV has excommunicated the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) following their consecration of four new bishops without papal mandate on July 1, 2026, at the Écône seminary in Switzerland. The penalty extends not only to the bishops and consecrators but, shockingly, to priests and faithful who continue to adhere to the S...

A new peer-reviewed study published in the International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science has formalised reports that embalmers have raised for years: the appearance of anomalous white, rubbery, fibrous structures in the veins and arteries of deceased individuals. Led by retired U.S. Air Force Major and data analyst Thomas F. Havil...

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), chair of the House Oversight Committee's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, recently held a hearing titled "Mind Control and Accountability: Uncovering the Truth of the CIA's MKULTRA Experiments." What unfolded was a rare public reckoning with one of the U.S. government's most infamous programs, an...
