    How we lost the boys, and how to bring them back

    • Cherie Gilmour
    • 09 May 2025

    As young men gravitate toward the manosphere, driven by alienation and grievance, society too often responds with silence or scorn. But if we don’t want boys shaped by bitterness and bravado, we must ask: what kind of men do we hope they’ll become, and who is offering them a path to get there?

    What the election says about us

    • Max Jeganathan
    • 07 May 2025

    In the wake of an unexpectedly decisive election, Australians rejected grievance politics from both right and left. What emerged instead was a quiet preference for stability, civility, and competence: qualities that don’t often headline campaigns, but this time shaped the outcome. In 2025, trumpery just didn’t cut it.

    • John Warhurst
    • 30 April 2025

    Faith, once a quiet undercurrent in Australian elections, is now entangled in questions of ethnic identity, foreign policy and cultural grievance. Religion has returned to the centre of political life, only to find itself more divided, and more contested, than ever before.

    • 16 April 2025

    Even in a world marked by war, exile and devastation, the Easter story offers a defiant hope: that ruin is not the end. Rooted in a vision of restoration beyond history’s violence, it speaks to a yearning deeper than despair — for justice, for peace, for a feast with no end.

    The age of outrage is hollowing us out

    • Max Jeganathan
    • 24 March 2025

    Amid rising hate speech and tighter laws, something deeper festers. In a culture wired for outrage and shaped by tribal algorithms, we’re learning not just to disagree, but to despise.

    Change of era, or era of change?

    • Andrew Hamilton
    • 13 March 2025

    What feels like turbulence in the present often reveals itself, in hindsight, as the rupture of an era. From the fall of Rome to the upheavals of today, are we witnessing mere disruption, or the twilight of an old order?

    • 05 March 2025

    Lent is often reduced to private acts of restraint. But its history tells a richer story; of communal memory, public reckoning, and the need to confront human suffering. As new crises unfold, from war to political decay, Lent reminds us that forgetting the past is a luxury we cannot afford.

    • Jim McDermott
    • 16 January 2025

    In Los Angeles, wildfires blur the line between disaster and daily life. Evacuation alerts, smoke-filled horizons, and neighborhoods turned to ash coexist with packed restaurants and holiday plans. As the fires rage on, one question persists: is this the new normal?

    Silent Night, from hymn to hype

    • Simon Smart
    • 19 December 2024

    Modern advertisements blend artistry and manipulation, tugging our heartstrings while selling us things we didn’t think we needed. Take the Austrian financial giant Erste’s annual Christmas ad, which this year chronicles the history of 'Silent Night.' It's breathtaking — until its message makes a baffling twist.

    • Danielle Terceiro
    • 12 December 2024

    Navalny’s memoir Patriot was released last month. Written in prison, it is a testament to Navalny’s deliberate practice of a forward-looking hope for the future, even though he was certain that he would not outlive his sentences. Surprisingly, the book is full of humour.
