The Problem with Privilege 28.05.2021

Recently a young schoolboy was asked to stand to up in front of his peers and list his 'white privileges'.

Language (and the Left) 23.05.2021

Some thoughts on language – specifically how it tends to be controlled by the left. Should some people, and not others, have rights over certain words – simply out of offence?  And should these kinds of decisions be made on your behalf, without rational discussion?

Following a few interesting discussions on Anzac Day – two things in particular have been on my mind.  The first being the importance of free speech, and what was faught for.  And the second being more geopolitical in nature; and how we must 'stand with our mates' in these precarious times.  Have a listen – and I'd love to know if you have any thoughts on this.
