With the death of Shinzo Abe in an act of shocking violence, Australia has lost a great friend and Japan has lost its most significant post-war leader.
Under Abe, Japan assumed its rightful place as the leading democracy of the western Pacific.

Rugby Australia is the latest sports body to succumb to moral blackmail and come out for the Voice. This is totally different from 1967 or ending White Australia. It's entrenching race into our constitution and changing our system of government.
Rugby Australia is the latest major sporting code to back the Indigenous voice to parliament, joining a growing list of elite sports pushing for a yes vote in this year’s referendum.

With amongst the world’s largest uranium reserves, it’s baffling that Australia is lagging internationally on nuclear energy. Ben Fordham and Ontario's Energy Minister highlight the flaws in Chris Bowen's recent comments on the cost of nuclear power.
Chris Bowen has been ‘fact checked’.
He claims nuclear energy is expensive.
But the Energy Minister for Ontario has set the record straight.

Zali claims to be a “moderate”. What a joke! On her own admission, she’s never voted Liberal in her life at a federal election and thinks that Labor’s climate change policies don’t go far enough. Vote Steggall, get Shorten!
What a load of rubbish being peddled by right wing activists. I must be doing something right. Same old fear and smear. It is time for moderates like me to speak up for sensible long term policies. Let’s bring integrity back to politics.
