    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.

    Politics without glitter, victory without fury

    • Peter Craven
    • 05 May 2025

    While much of the world drifts toward political extremes, Australia did something quietly radical: it chose the centre. In a night of subdued triumphs and unexpected grace, it was a reminder that democracy’s strength may still lie in its capacity for moderation, mercy, and surprise.

    Faith in the balance: Religion and the 2025 Federal Election

    • 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.

    The quiet injustice facing the outer suburbs

    • Bronwen Clark
    • 24 April 2025

    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.

    Are universities about to become a political priority?

    • Erica Cervini
    • 23 April 2025

    Despite a lot of talk about education, neither of the major parties has talked about the funding of universities. However this federal election is likely to be determined by voters under the age of 45, the very group that rising university fees and HELP (higher education loan program) debts are hitting the hardest.

    The legacy of a Jesuit pope

    • Frank Brennan
    • 23 April 2025

    Francis was a pope prepared to blur the edges of doctrine, or at least its application, opening the doors of the Church to all those seeking love, mercy and forgiveness. He never doubted God’s capacity to love and forgive all who sought that love and forgiveness. He maintained the certainty, not of doctrine but of the simple piety of believers.

    Moral panic aside, Adolescence is a masterpiece

    • Peter Craven
    • 16 April 2025

    A cultural flashpoint disguised as a television drama, the four-part epic turns a teenage murder accusation into both high art and a bracing reckoning with sex, violence, and the internet’s moral void.

    The king of the Cross

    • Barry Divola
    • 10 April 2025

    Vittorio ‘Vito’ Bianchi was small in stature, but a giant of a man who ruled over the Piccolo Bar café in Kings Cross for over 50 years. To live in the Cross meant that you knew Vittorio Bianchi. It was impossible not to.

    Criminalising homelessness won’t make it go away

    • Barry Gittins
    • 10 April 2025

    In cities that pride themselves on liveability, a quiet war is being waged against the homeless with urban design and tough bylaws. What appears as civic order is, in truth, a hardening of public conscience, where compassion gives way to concealment, and suffering is swept from view.

    The Great Australian Housing Con

    • David James
    • 04 April 2025

    As house prices soar and home ownership slips out of reach, Australia’s property market has become a $10 trillion engine of inequality — and yet, no major party will touch it. With an election looming, silence on the housing crisis reveals a deeper dysfunction: a political economy captive to debt and speculation.
