The GLBTI-and-so-on ‘community’ is a paid-up player in the vipers’ pit of the Left's competing ‘identities’. The homeless of St Kilda, many of them Aborigines, have no such clout, so expect them to be moved briskly along when the new Pride Centre opens itsrate- and

Being dismissed did wonders for Gough Whitlam's reputation, making a martyr of an arrogant and devious incompetent. Beset by scandals and the bitter fruits of his governance in these, the dog days of his presidency, Obama must be wishing for the distraction of a Republican push for impeachment POETRY – PAGE 127 – QUADRANT ONLINE In a stranger’s Open Garden a penny farthing bicycle propped against a rendered wall conjures images of a gent in worsted black, back jarred at every turn of metal wheels; knees, pumping like pistons, conveying him to the village for a dignified descent.* Advertise

* Mark Powell

icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (3) COMMON GRACE IS A 'PROGRESSIVE' CHRISTIAN ORGANISATION THAT HAS TAKEN UP THE FIGHT FOR A TREATY WITH AUSTRALIA'S ABORIGINES. HOW THIS MIGHT BE ACHIEVED, THE LEGALITY OF SUCH A PACT AND WHAT IT MIGHT PROMISE ARE ISSUES NEVER EXPLAINED NOR, APPARENTLY, EXAMINED IN ANYTHING BUT THE FUZZIEST FOCUS. COULD IT BE THAT ADVOCATES PREFER NOT TO NOTICE THE DEVIL IN THE DETAILS?Read More
