It is now almost eighteen months since my son, Roger, and I completed our trip up through northwestern New South Wales to find where our colonial Wilson and Jones Ancestors lived and worked. James Joseph Wilson arrived in Sydney in 1827 and Michael Jones in 1829. Both were convicts. Their free settler wives, Jane and Elizabeth Harris, came from a small village in Wiltshire.
It was the trip of a lifetime, a trip that I’m probably too old to do again.
Of course, we were a couple of rank amateurs as far as making videos went. And viewing the results no television station will be running after us. However, despite our amateur efforts we are more than happy with the results. We achieved what we set out to do. We set out to trace our family history, not only for ourselves, but for Australians with similar family background.
The experiences of our family and like-families were, and are, an important part of Australia’s history. Indeed, they were the starting point of the Australian nation. Without them, there would be no Australian nation. It’s a part of Australia’s history that an elite class is now desperate to erase.
I hope the six episodes of our discoveries will spur other Australians to go and find themselves and Australia in a similar expedition. You won’t regret it.
Socially and politically oriented Youtube channels often interview authors of books that have captured the reading public’s attention.
The books below attracted my attention because they give powerful arguments and evidence against the Woke class’s condemnation of Western Civilization.
The final two by Timothy Gordon and his wife, Stephanie, are so ‘out there’ on the fringes for most conservatives that they will not consider them. The books, however, restate age-old beliefs about men’s natural leadership and women’s role as organizer of the domestic sphere.
I intend to add to the list whenever I came across book of similar interest.
The woke class has another prestigious boys’ school in their sights. The Newington School Council, who decides such matters, has been infested with the woke devil and have announced in their demonic delirium the co-education of Newington Boys’ College.
The man-hating woke devil is hell-bent on feminizing all remaining boys’ schools in Australia. The degradation of boys who need a completely different education from girls continues. The elite feminist class must be licking their catty lips in anticipation.
As an exercise for people mildly surprised by this issue one should research how many boys’ schools have been feminized (made co-ed) since the 1960s and then inquire how many girls’ school have admitted boys. Make no mistake: feminists are behind the campaign. Girls, according to feminists, will civilize the boys, thus reducing the toxicity of the male in society.
If one completes the exercise they will find that what were some of the finest boys’ schools are now in an emasculated state. I have occasion to walk by Barkers College at Waitara, once a brilliant boys’ school. I have to sake my head in sorrow when I see the constitution of the student body.
On the other hand, I cannot think of one prestigious girls’ school that has suffered the same fate. Go and count the girls’ schools on the Northshore line – all in their original female state. The councils of those girls’ school don’t want their girls subject to male contagion.
I hope the parents of Newington boys don’t give up. Indeed, they should agitate to sack the disgusting perfidious people who presently make up the council.

Parents at $40k-a-year Newington College erupt at gates: ‘Woke mumbo jumbo’
Furious parents and former students have rallied outside one of Sydney’s most prestigious schools to condemn its decision to start accepting girls.
Heath Parkes-Hupton, news.com.au, January 31, 2024
A barrister whose son attends a prestigious Sydney boys’ school set to go co-ed has labelled the reasoning offered to parents as “woke mumbo jumbo” at a protest held on the first day of class for 2024.
Newington College, a 160-year-old institution at Stanmore in the city’s inner west, announced in November it would start accepting girls into kindergarten and Year 5 from 2026.

‘Nobody can fire me’: ABC host Antoinette Lattouf before exit
A sacked ABC journo made an extraordinary claim just weeks before she was let go for her controversial posts about Israel and Gaza.
Axed journalist Antoinette Lattouf bragged she “could not be fired” over her views on Israel and Gaza just days before signing an ill-fated agreement with the ABC.
Ms Lattouf was dismissed in late December, three days into a five-day hosting gig on the ABC’s Radio Sydney morning show.
She says she was axed due to her political views on the Israel and Gaza war, as well as her Lebanese heritage, while the ABC claims it was because Ms Lattouf was warned not to share controversial social media posts while working for the national broadcaster but continued to do so.
Ms Lattouf said, as an independent journo, “nobody can fire me”. Picture: Instagram.
She claims to have been fired by the ABC in December. Picture: Instagram.
Now, it’s been revealed Ms Lattouf believed she couldn’t be fired in her capacity as a freelance journalist and didn’t look kindly upon publications that didn’t want to work with her due to her pro-Palestine beliefs.
On November 24, just three days before signing on to work for the ABC, Ms Lattouf shared a three-minute video to social media, praising journalists who had signed an open letter calling for newsrooms to treat unverified information from Israel’s government or terror group Hamas with the same “professional scepticism”.
She threw her weight behind the letter and declared: “As an independent and freelance journalist, nobody can fire me”.
Ms Lattouf then laughed and said: “I will certainly be using my voice and sharing my concerns.
“I have thought about future job prospects, so if somebody doesn’t want to work with me because I care about dozens of journalists who have been slaughtered by doing their work, because I care about the thousands and thousands of children who have been killed and civilians harmed … then honestly f**k them.”
Ms Lattouf hosted ABC radio in the week before Christmas. Picture: Instagram.
The ABC says Ms Lattouf was let go due to her social media activity, which included — before she was employed by the national broadcaster — repeatedly questioning whether videos of pro-Palestinian protesters chanting “gas the Jews” at Sydney’s Opera House were verified.
On December 20, she shared a post from Human Rights Watch that read: “The Israeli government is using starvation of civilians as a weapon of war in Gaza.”
It was the latter post, shared on Ms Lattouf’s third day working for the ABC, that saw her employment terminated.
Susanne Horman, owner of the Robinsons Bookshop chain, gave her first interview to Andrew Bolt, following the vicious, wokist, left-wing attack on her sparked by a series of tweets. To be fully in the picture, one must see the tweets in full:
‘What’s missing from our bookshelves in store? Positive male lead characters of any age, any traditional nuclear family stories, kids picture books with just white kids on the cover, and in which no wheelchair, rainbow, or indigenous art, non-indig aus history.’
‘Books we don’t need: hate against white Australians, socialist agenda, equity over equality, diversity and inclusion (READ as anti-white exclusion) left wing govt propaganda. Basically the whole woke agenda that divides people. Not stocking any of these in 2024.’
‘So I am advocating for a substantial shift in the focus of Australian publishers to be in line with public opinion and requests for what is GOOD! We aren’t going to stock books that intend to cause harm and make Australians hate each other.’
From a sales and marketing point of view, this is a true analysis of the sorts of books publishers are releasing and of what’s lacking in the market. I spent most of my working life in the book industry – mainly with publishers. Susanne’s tweets are the sort of analysis sales and marketing people engage in daily. What’s selling? What’s not selling? What type of book is flooding the market? What gaps are there in the market?
I’ve been at sales meetings where the critical language is far more frank and colloquial than Susanne’s.
What really is the issue here, is the political control the wokist gatekeepers have on the book market. There have been instances in recent years where a publisher’s editorial staff has refused to work on a manuscript the publisher has contracted. One of Jordan Peterson’s book suffered that fate. The bookshops can be just as bad. Many US booksellers refused to stock Candace Owen’s book “Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation.” Read the case HERE.
The problem here – an astonishing irony – is that the instruments of information dissemination (publishers and booksellers) are censoring themselves on the basis of ideology. I suppose when a nation’s educational establishments become unbending purveyors of rigid ideology, the publishers and booksellers will go the same way.
Andrew Bolt’s interview sadly shows a bookshop owner battered and bruised. She needs our support and we need to support a bookshop that remains true to its social function in a liberal democratic society.
