Australia's higher education sector has become increasingly reliant on international tuition fees, with Indian students emerging as a prime target. In the year to July 2025, Indian enrolments hit a record 159,530, surging 31,000 above pre-pandemic levels and representing a staggering 6.6-fold increase since 2005. Of these, over 94,000 were in unive...
Victoria is hurtling toward an Indigenous treaty, and yet the irony could not be starker. Just months ago, the people of Victoria voted no on the Voice to Parliament. Democracy spoke. The message was unmistakable. And now, the political class is barrelling ahead anyway, as if that verdict were mere background noise. This is contempt in action. Not ...
Beijing's towering smokestacks and endless assembly lines, casts a shadow upon Australia who has hitched its economic wagon to the Dragon's back, exporting iron ore, coal, and natural gas like a one-trick pony at a high-stakes rodeo. As Tarric Brooker's recent Macrobusiness piece starkly warns, our dwindling manufacturing sector shields us from dir...
Leo XIV, the first American Pope (born in Chicago as Robert Francis Prevost), was supposed to bring a fresh, perhaps more conservative vibe after Francis's era. But a short time in, he's doubled down on progressive globalism, earning him labels like "woke pope" from MAGA circles and traditional Catholics who see him as politicising the faith. His O...
Britain's Green Party just unleashed a policy bomb that's straight out of a socialist fever dream: "Seek the effective abolition of private landlordism." Passed overwhelmingly at their October 2025 conference under new "eco-populist" leader Zack Polanski, the motion brands private landlords as exploitative parasites funnelling wealth from renters t...
As October 2025 chills the air across the Atlantic, a digital chill is settling over the West, one that whispers of ancient prophecies amid the hum of servers and the scan of fingerprints. Michael Snyder's latest Substack dispatch hits like a gut punch: Canada's plotting secret phone blackouts for "misinformation" peddlers, the EU's gearing up to h...
On 25 September 2025, President Donald Trump signed a document that could change the relationship between the U.S. government and its citizens permanently. In fact, it likely will impact non-U.S. citizens in countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the European Union (EU). Buried behind the bland title, "Countering Domestic Terr...
From the smelly lecture halls of Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's international education sector has long been a golden goose, pumping billions into the economy and filling campuses with ambitious minds from around the world. But as of 2025, that goose is looking more like a wild flock: chaotic, overburdened, and increasingly seen as a feathered b...
The persecution of Christians in Africa, particularly in sub-Saharan regions, represents one of the most severe humanitarian crises unfolding today, driven largely by Islamist extremism, ethnic conflicts, and weak governance. Nigeria stands out as the epicentre, with systematic violence that has led to tens of thousands of deaths, mass displacement...
Welcome to the first Monday in October. Know what that means? It means, by federal statute (28 U.S.C. § 2), that the Supreme Court convenes for its new term. Thank goodness, because it's pretty obvious by now that the Party of Chaos seeks to hogtie and paralyze the executive branch of the government in order to promote the chaos that the Party of C...
From Washington to Westminster to Canberra, people have had enough of elites who preach "equity" while wrecking nations. The revolt has only just begun. The US election result was a repudiation of the establishment - by which I mean progressive government, media and big tech. People don't trust the old institutions anymore, and rightly so. The land...
We built the philosophy behind this site around the idea that the eternal human failing is solipsism, or an inability to perceive the world outside of ourselves or what is convenient for ourselves, and in groups this becomes what the libertarians call "collectivism," or subsidized me-firsting. The old-fashioned term for this idea is "individualism,...
Victor Davis Hanson's The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation is a chilling, erudite meditation on the fragility of civilisation and the recurring madness of total war. Few historians write with Hanson's combination of classical learning, military experience, and moral clarity, and in this 2024 bestseller he distils decades of stu...
In a scathing exposé dated October 6, 2025, from The Forgotten Side of Medicine newsletter, author A Midwestern Doctor lays bare what he calls "The Great Alzheimer's Scam." It's a tale of scientific hubris, pharmaceutical greed, and institutional inertia that's funnelled billions into a dead-end theory, the amyloid hypothesis, while sidelining affo...
Dr. Roger Watson's sharp critique of Pope Leo XIV's early papacy hits the ice nail on the head, and nowhere more absurdly than the pontiff's October 1, 2025, blessing of a massive block of Greenland glacial ice at the "Raising Hope for Climate Justice" conference in Castel Gandolfo, Italy. This wasn't a solemn sacramental act, blessing holy water o...
The modern West is governed by a globalist managerial regime that speaks in a neutral, rationalist idiom, presenting itself as the inevitable framework for organising society. This discourse, however, is not neutral; it is a tool of social control, dissolving inherited loyalties, atomising individuals, and rendering them interchangeable cogs in a t...
The grand theatre of global climate policy: here the script is written by elites in Geneva, Brussels, and The Hague: Fossil fuels are the devil, renewables the salvation, and any deviation spells planetary doom. But as Paul Driessen's September 30, 2025, op-ed skewers, this alarmism, championed by the UN, EU, ICJ, and their "Climate Cabal" allies, ...
The polarised arena of political psychology, has seen "authoritarianism" as long shorthand for Right-wing rigidity, such as blind obedience to tradition, aggression toward outsiders, and a craving for hierarchical order. But what if slapping the "authoritarian" tag on Left-wing extremism is not just sloppy, but scientifically misleading? A ground-b...
Peter Thiel's Armageddon speaking tour has, like the world, not ended yet. For a full two years now, the billionaire has been on the circuit, spreading his biblically inflected ideas about doomsday through a set of variably and sometimes visibly perplexed interviewers. He has chatted onstage with the economist podcaster Tyler Cowen about the katech...
Billionaires are supposed to cower before the woke cultural overlords of Hollywood. But Elon Musk just dropped a meme-bomb that could reshape streaming wars. On October 1, 2025, Musk amplified a viral X post depicting Netflix as a Trojan Horse stuffed with "transgender woke agenda" content, rolling straight into the castle of "your kids." His capti...
