Australias Most Sacred Site Fred Pawle 2026-01-22 | Nobody knows exactly where Captain Arthur Phillip planted the Union Jack on 26 January 1788.But we do know it's somewhere near what is now Circular Quay, a bustling mix of tourist shops and commuter ferry terminals between the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.Why is there almost nothing commemorating the place where this amazing country was founded?I went down to Circular Quay on Australia Day 2025 to find out.The response was both encouraging and depressing.

Its Time The West Got Over Its Obsession With Immigration Fred Pawle 2025-06-26 | Donald Trump could have totally humiliated Iran's reigning mullahs when he announced they had finally conceded to a ceasefire this week. But he didn't.Instead, he diplomatically deferred to Iran's right to sovereignty.Trump was implying that all nations, and all people, have their own culture, history and ways of governing. They are all equal before God. He wasn't the only one expressing respect for Iran's sovereignty. Thousands joined pro-Iranian marches across the west on the weekend, decrying US efforts to prevent Iranian mullahs developing nuclear weapons. Their sympathies were conspicuous. There is nothing stopping these people moving to Iran. And if any of those protesters were actually Iranian migrants, then they should be given no other choice but to return to the country they love. The west's obsession with mass migration needs to be seriously reassessed. Our generosity is at breaking point.
Pessimism is Driving Australians Overseas Fred Pawle 2025-06-15 | The future in Australia looks increasingly bleak. The economy is tanking, house prices are among the highest in the world, inflation is far worse than the government lets on, and we have the lowest level of manufacturing in the entire OECD.Also, PM Anthony Albanese is nonchalantly jeopardising our military alliance with the United States and Penny Wong is giving money to terrorists in Gaza while sanctioning democratically elected politicians from Israel. But the most alarming trend is that the government is importing millions of peasants from poor nations who aren't in Australia to assimilate; rather, they are economic migrants eager to take advantage of prosperity while giving little back.The contrast with Israel is stark. While Australians contemplate moving away, in Israel, where the future is more perilous, people are staying to fight.What's the difference?

Why Canada and Australia Cant Ditch the Socialists Fred Pawle 2025-05-01 | Unlike Australians, Canadians are naturally left-wing voters. As they demonstrated in the federal election on Monday, they are reluctant to give the Conservative Party a chance even after a decade under the tyrannical, deluded (leftist) Liberals.Australians are generally more conservative, but are currently struggling to elect a conservative government for entirely different reasons. The preferential voting system means that any conservative who votes for a fringe conservative party and then preferences the Liberals... is still voting Liberal. As Canadian-Australian law academic Jim Allan says, the current Liberal party stopped being conservative 10 years ago, which leaves conservative voters stranded.
