What is the “Modern Mind”? And is it the most formidable opposition to the Catholic Faith? Certainly, that is how Hilaire Belloc described it in his book, Survivals and New Arrivals, when he wrote over 100 years ago about the then current attacks on the Faith and the likely trends. Was he right, and has it trended all these years…
It is not as well known as it should be that Bob Hawke and Paul Keating took a sledgehammer to our trade policy when they decided to expose the full range of Australian manufacturing to unbridled international competition. Their decisions undermined not merely our manufacturing industries. They also took the same sledgehammer to our capacity to maintain our farm sector…
U.S. President Joe Biden’s attempt to negotiate with the Islamic Republic of Iran over its nuclear program has aroused deep concerns among U.S. allies in the region that Biden may bring the Iranian regime in from the cold by removing sanctions which have curbed its ability to extend its influence in the region. During the…
If you took a human sperm and a human egg and left them on opposite sides of a room, they would stay that way and nothing would ever happen, save for their eventual expiration. Now, take the very same sperm and egg, have them fuse together in a woman’s womb (an event commonly known as…
About a year ago the U.S. magazine New Polity was founded. New Polity, like News Weekly, critiques Liberalism and the political order that such a worldview sprouts – an increasingly centralised, faceless, and all-too bland managerialism that is slowly morphing into something much worse. While it has certainly noticed the work of the postliberals (see, for instance, the two-part series,…
Photo from Don’t Screen Us Out via Flickr. Three people have begun a case before Britain’s High Court to challenge the law allowing the termination up to birth of a foetus with Down’s syndrome (also known as trisomy 21) – a person with an extra 21st chromosome. The case has been taken by Heidi Crowter,…
In this final instalment of his series on Queensland’s Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021, Paul Santamaria assesses the impotence of the proposed law to deal with breaches, the virtual absence of true recognition of conscientious objection and the Bill’s philosophical incoherence even on its own terms. Read the previous instalment here. Where a statute articulates principles or objects that…
At the NCC National Conference in February this year, retired U.S. Brigadier General Robert Spalding succinctly explained what he believed Australia needed to do to counter an increasingly belligerent Beijing. He advised: “Decouple [economically], have industrial policy, invest in your people, science and technology, STEM education, infrastructure, and manufacturing; and, for heaven’s sake, build a secure, encrypted internet for…
s One of the issues overtaken by the advent of covid19 in 2020 was a federal Religious Discrimination Bill. It is now three years since the Federal Coalition promised, during the marriage debate in 2017, that once the Marriage Act amendments were voted on, the consequences for religious freedom would be dealt with by legislation. No steps have been taken…
As China continues its attempts to ratchet up economic and diplomatic pressure on Australia, will Federal Labor continue to remain in lockstep with the Morrison Government in standing firm against China’s pointed and aggressive stance? In the past few weeks, a China-chaired UN committee has moved to list the Great Barrier Reef as being in danger, prompting federal ministers to…
Since taking office six months ago, U.S. President Joe Biden has sent China unmistakable signals that he is unwilling to act against China’s increasingly aggressive conduct in Hong Kong and threatening behaviour towards Taiwan.

By Hannah Grey The South Australian Liberal Party recently took it upon itself to refuse the applications of 150 Christian-identifying applicants to the party – and to demand that another 400 sign statutory declarations swearing their loyalty to the Party. They cited fears that these new applicants had “ulterior motives” and were out to do…
“Tariff” is a very old word. It derives from Arabic but passed into English via Old Italian. A tariff is a charge or list of charges levied on services or good entering a country. Strangely enough, although we often think of tariffs as a means to protect domestic industries, tariffs were mainly a means of raising revenue. The stories of…
The 23rd Rally for Life in Western Australia on June 16 attracted an estimated 2,000 people, who gathered outside Parliament House in Perth despite the cold, to show their disapproval of the current abortion laws, and support for the vulnerable unborn children, the courageous mothers, and the sacredness of life. There was a notably large crowd of young people present…
