Our propagandist ABC
Here’s another proof that the government-taxpayer-funded ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) is a media propagandist instrument for the woke class. Funding for the ABC must be an issue in the 2028 federal election.
The Decline of the English Department
This is an interesting account of how the university English Department drifted from its original purpose, which is the study and assessment of the Canon of English literature, but there is no doom prediction in the survey. Indeed, Adam Walker senses a renewed interest in reading and literature, but outside the university.
Productions of Pride and Prejudice
The video below presents an interesting discussion about Netflix’s coming version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice as compared with previous productions. I made the following comment about the previous productions:
The 1980 version with Elizabeth Garvie and David Rintoul lacks the production values of the 1995 and 2005 versions, but it is more faithful to the story and the characters. Colin Firth may appeal to the female audience, but he does not play Jane Austen’s Darcy. Though without the same appeal, David Rintoul is closer to Austen’s Darcy. I invite people to actually read Jane Austen’s descriptions of Darcy and the dialogue he has in the story. The same holds for Elizabeth Garvie’s Lizzie, who maintains her sweetness and refinement while tearing Darcy apart in the drawing room scenes. Jennifer Ehle’s Lizzie is too vulgar to be an authentic Jane Austen Lizzie. As for Mr Collins, the two actors who played the part in the later versions made a farce of the character, particularly David Bamber in the 1995 version. Mr Collins was a pompous fool, but, as Charlotte Lucas pointed out, he was educated with a respectable position in society. He didn’t eat like a grunting pig. I regularly watch the 1980 version and enjoy it each time.
Auntie Lisa’s first Welcome to Country
Lisa Jane Spencer has suffered a monumental mob attack since her recent satire on Aboriginal identification. Fortunately, she hasn’t caved in. Indeed, she’s determined to push on, as the reel below demonstrates.
I commented previously that her parody was based on accurate evidence. The rules for Aboriginal identification are so loose as to require a mere feeling of being Aboriginal. Check the rules if you don’t believe me. In support, I have included two photos below of Marcus Stewart, who claims to be Aboriginal and played a major role in the agitation for a ‘Voice’ to the Victorian parliament.
I don’t know what possesses Marcus Stewart to make such a fool of himself. I would die of embarrassment if I performed this charade.

No satirising white Aboriginals – protected species
The Daily Mail report, 9th June 2026.
Comedian who appeared in satirical video as an Aboriginal woman sniffing petrol reveals she has been fired from her job as she blasts the clip being removed under a copyright claim.
A comedian who sniffed petrol while mocking an Indigenous woman claims she was fired from her job for the offensive skit.
Lisa Jane Spencer, a satirist from Melbourne, has faced massive backlash online, along with a surge of several thousand followers, after posting a controversial video pretending to be an Indigenous woman.
The original video featured an ‘SBS Insights’ fake logo at the top, causing the clip to be the subject of a copyright strike on Thursday.
It’s far more invigorating to chat about white racists

‘Noble Savage’ Dreaming
Peter Purcell, Quadrant, May 12 2026
The recent murder of a young girl in Alice Springs has raised, yet again, the spectre of Aboriginal domestic violence. It’s not new, of course. The appalling levels of physical and sexual violence against Aboriginal women and children have been known for a long time.
Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has spoken courageously about this problem for years. Louis Nowra’s 2007 Bad Dreaming sought to collect statistical and anecdotal evidence to attract attention to the scale of this national tragedy. Various investigations this century have found that sexual assault of children in Aboriginal communities was widespread, affecting both girls and boys:
♦ Child sexual assaults in the NT were four times the national average
♦ In Queensland, 10% of male Aboriginal youths were raped before they were 16
♦ In WA, the occurrence of gonorrhoea among Aboriginal children 10 to 14 years old was 186 times that of the general population
♦ In the NT, 30% of 13-year-old girls had gonorrhoea or chlamydia.
Nor is this problem limited to remote communities. In New South Wales, the Task Force found that child abuse was so widespread that no family in the 29 rural and urban communities surveyed had escaped its touch.
Contrary to blaktivist propaganda, the greatest threats to the lives of Aboriginal Australians are not white policemen but other Aboriginal Australians. Statistics spread across decades show the awful and unchanging reality. From 1989 to 2000, Aboriginal people were 15.1% of homicide victims in Australia and 15.7 of all homicide offenders, despite being about 3% of the population. Between 1989 and 2012, 951 Indigenous Australians were murdered, 765 of them (80%) by other Indigenous Australians, with a further 504 being victims of domestic violence.
Between 1989 and 2023, 476 Australian Indigenous women were homicide victims, seven times the national average. Almost all were killed by someone they knew (97%), most by their Indigenous male intimate partner (66%). Some 70% of Aboriginal people in jail are there for crimes of violence against their loved ones. Nor have the adults managed to contain this violence among themselves: in 2007-11, 26% of deaths among Aboriginal children were from physical abuse.
Talking about a man’s murder is boring for feminists
Kouri Richins Murdered Her Husband For Money
And domestic violence activists have nothing to say
Janice Fiamengo, May 29, 2026
The case of Eric Richins, whose wife Kouri was recently convicted of his aggravated murder, is a case study of a man’s entrapment in an abusive and ultimately fatal marriage. Not surprisingly, however, his killing has not been discussed as an example of intimate-partner violence.
Hundreds of men—over one thousand in 2021—are murdered in the United States every year by their wives or girlfriends. But we are told repeatedly that because these murders are only a small percentage of domestic violence murders, they are of no importance.
Eric died in his bed on March 4, 2022, of a lethal dose of fentanyl that his wife Kouri had bought from her house-cleaner, Carmen Lauber. Eric was 39 years old, a successful businessman and father to three young boys. Kouri wanted Eric dead because she needed millions of dollars to save her house-flipping business, and killing him was the only way she could procure it. A pre-marital agreement had ruled out the usual method by which wives access husbands’ funds.

Feminism to Forlorn Men: Go Hang
Bettina Arndt, Quadrant, May 06 2026
Last Christmas, one of Australia’s major suicide prevention groups had a call from a very distressed, suicidal man. The counsellor did his best to support him and arranged to keep in touch. But there was no answer to the counsellor’s follow up calls. Following their organisation’s duty of care rules, the counsellor made a call to NSW police, fearing the man was at imminent risk of harm.
The police reaction was shocking. “Is there a female partner who could be at risk? Is he likely to hurt her,” asked the police officer, whose immediate concern was not checking on the man in crisis but rather assessing the risk that the suicidal man could be violent.
Welcome to the latest triumph of feminist policy innovation: a system that looks at the man standing on the edge of the abyss — the group dying by suicide at three times the rate of women — and decides the most urgent question to ask is not ‘How do we save you?’ but ‘Have you been hurting women?’ It is a policy of breathtaking intellectual dishonesty and moral inversion.
It all started in Victoria but could become official policy across the country The 2021 Victorian government’s MARAM Framework Document is prescribed for over 6,000 organisations and approximately 392,000 professionals in Victoria, including mental health, drug/alcohol, homelessness, family and health services. The Framework is based on the premise that significant numbers of men who commit suicide each year have a history of using family violence. Responding to suicide risk “should consider the risk of the person using violence to themselves, their family and community,” explains the document.

New Web Site – TheWayMenHeal.com
Tom Golden, Jun 08, 2026
For many years, people have asked me essentially the same question: “Where can I find a simple explanation of how men heal?”
The answer has never been easy.
Over the last three decades I have written books, articles, blog posts, newsletters, and given countless interviews and workshops. The ideas are scattered across many places.
Recently I decided it was time to gather them into one place.
Today I’m pleased to introduce a new website: TheWayMenHeal.com
The site is not a blog and it is not a therapy website.
