Notes on Why Socialism is So Bad By James Reed

Here are some points, just as if one was taking notes in a university lecture about why socialism is so bad. The only difference is that if one was in such a lecture at any Australian university, one would not be hearing this side of the debate, only about the evil inequalities of capitalism and the free market. But it is lies and ideology from the...

A very thought-provoking article appeared by Konstantin Kisin, "Can Australia Endure the Woke Onslaught?"

Too Bad if You Need a Doctor in South Australia! By Mrs Vera West

This is depressing news for poor people in South Australia. State changes to payroll tax, about to come into force by the Malinauskas Labor government, will lead to GP fees increasing by around $ 12 a visit, and the end of bulk billing.

Degrowth: The Next Big Environmentalist Disaster By James Reed

The "logical" conclusion of almost all Leftist environmentalism, from climate change activism to the Just Stop Oil, amounts to ending economic growth.

Yet, it has been economic growth which has lifted much of humanity, including Asia and the Third World out...

Lucky Country, No More By James Reed

 In his book, The Lucky Country (1964), Donald Horne wrote: "Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck.
