I read this morning that some wokester academics working for Shakespeare’s Globe theatre, have cast doubt on the gender identity of Queen Elizabeth I. Apparently her claiming to have the stomach and heart of a man was plain-speak for I’m non-binary before my time gimme some testosterone. And Joan of Arc was much too butch…

There was a case last year. Australian Federal Court judge Mordy Bromberg sided with a group of eight female teenagers and their litigation guardian (an eight-six-year-old Catholic nun), intent on stopping a particular mining development in New South Wales. They brought a class action arguing that the federal minister for the environment had a common-law…

The Tavistock transgender clinic in London is to be shut down. Referrals had risen to over 5000 in 2021-22 compared with just 250 ten years earlier. There had also been a marked change in orientation, from men who wanted to be women to teenage girls wanting to be boys. We are talking here about chemical…

In June 2010 I had an article published in Quadrant magazine; “The Trumping Factor”. I went back to it because I remembered writing about how those on the left and the right divide more or less uniformly and predictably across numbers of seemingly unconnected issues. To wit: “One of the mysteries of life is that…

I know, I shouldn’t be writing about Covid again. They (the political knaves in charge) would like to replay 2020 and 2021. Couldn’t help it. Last week it was Henry Ergas, today it was Covid-hysteric Greg Sheridan who riled me. Apparently, a Sharon Lewis, head of the Doherty Institute, told him that “75 percent of…

I seldom read Henry Ergas these days. Used to, even though his obscure “learned” references were annoying. Just a little while ago he explained that Putin really didn’t attack Ukraine because of the likelihood of Ukraine joining NATO, and cherry-picked an historical reference to ‘prove’ his point. It was to my thinking intellectually dishonest. A…

Note two recent quotes from putative conservative commentators Peta Credlin and Janet Albrechtsen. In order: “As an imperfect Christian myself, who doesn’t always agree with the teachings of my faith…” “Had grass-roots democracy been allowed to take its normal course…there is a good chance women would have secured abortion rights in those states where they…

The Covid vax will soon become de rigueur for Australian babies and infants, aged six months to five years. The FDA has approved Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for this voiceless cohort in the U.S. population and our TGA is busying away going through the motions before giving Moderna a tick here. Interesting, isn’t it. At…

Leftism is a great evil. Built on lies to serve an agenda; led by a lust for power over others. The Devil’s spawn perhaps. But if so, has it always lurked within human societies; since the dawn of time? A question to which I have no answer. I’m no historian of antiquity. Three of us…

If countries extend their reliance on coal in response to the war, then “we are cooked,” Mr Kerry reportedly said to the BBC. Dog bites man, kind of report. Where? At yet another climate-change conference, this time in Bonn to prepare for COP27 in Egypt. Much high-octane flying to get there, no doubt. I was…
