When contemporary political leadership suffers from a triple deficit, of character, of conviction, and of courage, Sir Paul Hasluck is worth remembering. Not just as a model governor-general, a senior minister who ran his bureaucrats rather than the other way round, and one of

Graham Richardson was a fierce Labor warrior who mellowed into a generous-spirited and widely-liked voice in our public life. I am grateful for a friendship that blossomed after he began his media work. He played his politics hard but at least in later years fair as well. Richo

"Even as a non-Australian, I finished this book with a sense of deep, if vicarious, patriotism. Not because Abbott glosses over Australia’s faults, but because he tells the whole story. Lefties sometimes talk of writing history “warts and all”; but they seem never to get around

While there’s much to cheer in the second Trump presidency’s foreign policy, such as the bombing of Iran’s nuclear faculties and the freeing of the Israeli hostages, there’s one especially puzzling anomaly from an administration otherwise pledged to winning the new Cold War with

I’ve really enjoyed working with the @SkyNewsAust team on the doco accompanying my history of Australia. The producers and crew have done a really outstanding job, using archival footage and stunning visuals to bring Australia’s story to life.

Is there a national leader anywhere in a major Western country with a coherent plan to revitalise the economy, to reinvigorate institutions, and to restore national pride? People like Macron and Starmer will talk along these lines, but by failing to control immigration, by

Why assimilate into the English-speaking heart of a West that’s lost faith in itself? Young Americans are taught that slavery is their original sin, even though a bloody war was fought to eliminate it. Young Britons are told that Britain’s was a slave empire, even though it was

Over the past 24 hours, especially talking to young people, I’ve been really struck by the impact Charlie Kirk has had on their lives. He’s been a force for faith and is now a martyr for free speech. His life should inspire more of us to be more like him: an exemplar of

I’m mourning the shocking death of Charlie Kirk. He championed the pursuit of open debate and intellectual freedom in places of education, and did so with great courage. My prayers are for his wife and children at this dire time.
