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?
Hamish McDonald’s Melanesia shatters Australia’s complacent view of the South Pacific as static and remote. With journalistic precision and historical urgency, he reveals a region marked by corruption, resilience, and political upheaval—forces poised to reshape Australia’s future, whether it’s prepared or not.
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.
As the cardinals prepare to elect a new pope, the centuries-old conclave process proceeds with solemnity and speed. But beneath the tradition lies the question of whether a closed, clerical system still reflects the needs of a diverse, divided, and global Church.
As Donald Trump’s trade war upends decades of global economic orthodoxy, globalisation is quietly folding. Protectionism is back, self-sufficiency is in vogue, and Australia, thanks to its deindustrialised economy, largely escapes the fallout. But in a shifting world of tariffs and deficits, what comes next is anyone’s guess.
As cardinals gather in Rome, they must confront declining trust, shifting global power, financial scandals, and unresolved doctrinal divides within the Church. More than a choice of leader, this moment is a reckoning with modernity and the future direction of the Church itself.
And so as the 21st century marked its first quarter, reality in the most powerful country on Earth slipped into a vortex of blurred lines of what it meant to be a living, moral being.
As Australia prepares to vote, the legacy of Petro Georgiou casts a long shadow, reminding us that politics can still be principled, compassionate, and deeply human. He reshaped multicultural policy, challenged cruelty, and proved that conscience has a place in party politics.
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.
As Australia moves through another federal election campaign, a quarter of a million new voters in the nation’s outer suburbs remain largely invisible in political discourse. These are not marginal communities in the cultural or economic sense; they are the nation’s most dynamic zones of growth, diversity, and aspiration.
When Holocaust survivor Jacob Rosenberg once spotted his friend's murderer in a Melbourne post office queue, he discovered that peace doesn't start with grand gestures, but quiet moments of letting go.
Before heartthrobs became brand names, there was Richard Chamberlain. A matinee idol with the soul of a serious actor, he rose to fame as Dr. Kildare, sought after Shakespeare, and stole scenes from Gielgud. His legacy is a portrait of quiet yearning — for love, for truth, for artistic respect.
