Writing update

I would not be surprised if many visitors to my website (there are many) get the impression that I do nothing but post comments on my blog. Actually, the opposite is true. A small percentage of my time is spent providing links and making brief comments. Most of my time is spent on my writing, specifically on my novel writing.

My daily routine (except Sunday) is to begin writing at 8 am and finish around 12 pm. By that time, my brain is exhausted. In the afternoon, I attend to domestic matters, post links to comments and YouTube videos, do research, and sometimes revise my already published books. This last is a constant process that covers small adjustments to the text and the rooting out of typos, etc.

My present writing project is Book 5 of the Sixties Series, Love in the Counterculture. I’ve almost finished the first draft. Against most professional advice, I’m one of those writers who constantly revises as he writes, not only what’s been written the previous day but also the thus-far completed draft.

I find this necessary because my novels are long – more than 100,000 words. I need to keep the course of the story in mind. I’m at the 120,000-word mark with Love in the Counterculture. It will take at least another 20,000 words to finish the story. I have a tentative cover which I may replace by the time I’m ready to upload to Amazon and D2D. I would welcome comments about it.

Islamic mosques in Australia mourn the death of Ali Khamenei – who’s surprised?

It’s a funny world we live in. The Albanese government uttered strong support for America’s violent military action to wipe out Ali Khamenei’s brutal Islamic government, while Islamic mosques in Australia mourn the death of Khamenei, while the Labor government has purposefully brought hundreds of thousands of Islamic migrants into Australia to populate a Trojan horse. Could it get madder?

*****

‘Sky News host Andrew Bolt calls out the Islamic leaders in Australia mourning the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Mr Bolt said Labor has been funding mosques, which are actively mourning his death. “The Masjid Arrahman Mosque … it’s also held a commemoration ceremony for three killed Hezbollah fighters, yet it has been given $33,000 by the NSW Government.”’

Man-hatred deeply embedded in the judicial system

I remark again that most men have little idea of the feminist hatred they’ll meet if ever they end up before the bench. Women, or more accurately, feminists, have possession of our legal system. That will get worse because universities are churning out more female lawyers than male lawyers. Why should that matter, the average man will ask? The law is the law.

The explanation is provided by the crucial distinction Janice Fiamengo and Helen Andrews make between female and male judgment: males judge on the basis of raw logic and truth: females judge on the basis of empathy. Helen Andrews puts it this way: females ‘value empathy over rationality; safety over risk; conformity and cohesion over competition and hierarchy.’

Bettina Arndt gives a graphic illustration below of the ordeal a male will likely endure if ever brought before the courts by an accusing female. All the sympathy is for the female; none whatever for the male. It is not a question of fact and rationality, but of feeling and female solidarity.

Scottish Judges

A Grim Verdict on Scottish Justice

Bettina Arndt, Quadrant, 27 Feb 22026

Across the world, feminist legal academics are bullying politicians and legislators into adopting new measures aimed at increasing rape convictions. The result, year after year, is justice systems increasingly tilted to favour accusers, undermining the right to a fair trial for men, and increasing the likelihood that innocent men will be convicted.

Scotland’s judges were doing well in this macabre race to the bottom, but now they have suffered a setback. A UK Supreme Court has warned that Scottish courts are violating a defendant’s right to a fair trial. Scottish lawyers are claiming this could mean hundreds of men in prison will be lining up for appeals or possible compensation for false imprisonment.

It isn’t so much the laws which have been at fault but the way Scottish judges are choosing to interpret them – namely by denying juries critical evidence that might have been used to exonerate the accused men.

They have taken rape shield laws, designed to protect the accuser from humiliating questions about their sexual history or character, and used these to exclude evidence critical to an understanding of what actually happened between the two people.

A leading Scottish barrister, Thomas Ross KC, has been outspoken about what is going on there. He’s in a unique position to expose this injustice because, after handling over 100 rape cases, in 2022 he threw in the towel because he felt it was no longer possible to properly defend accused men. “I was just banging my head against a brick wall and getting nowhere.” Ross decided he’d be better off walking away from this territory so he could speak publicly about what is going on.

Coming after your boys

Redefining Boys as Terrorists

Bettina Arndt, Quadrant, 19 Feb 2026

Worried about the boys in your life? Be warned. Our government is out to get them. In early January, when our country was still reeling from the Bondi Massacre, all the talk was about violent extremism. We watched the disgraceful Albanese government ducking and weaving to avoid naming Islamic extremism as the ideology which inspired that appalling event.

How convenient that on January 7, the day before our Prime Minister finally caved and agreed to the Royal Commission, our media was diverted by a news story reporting on a Melbourne University study into what they claimed was another driver of violent extremism. You guessed it – misogyny.

“Almost 40 per cent of Australian boys support violent extremist ideologies while more than a third have misogynistic attitudes towards women,” spluttered outraged media reports. Newspapers quoted Dr Sara Meger, the lead researcher, who said her findings revealed strong and significant correlations between misogynist attitudes and support for violent extremism. Apparently “disturbingly high” anti-feminist views were held by the boys aged 13 to 17 included in the study. And that’s the real point – they say “misogyny,” but they mean disagreeing with feminist beliefs.

The timely release of this unpublished research comes as no surprise. Sara Meger has been targeting boys for many years now and this was an ideal moment to attract international attention. The feminist scholar is a lecturer in feminist international relations and international security, and this new research is simply the latest round of her ongoing project on “Misogyny and Youth Radicalisation Leading to Violent Extremism.”

More about this deeply flawed, nonsensical research later. What’s important to understand is that the feminist mafia controlling our universities have been linking misogyny to extremism for nearly a decade.Check out the Australian Institute of International Affairs, a respected thinktank precluded under its charter from promoting ideology. Yet from 2018 onwards this organisation has been publishing articles identifying misogyny as a form of violent extremism. The most recent example, by Deakin University lecturer Dr Shannon Zimmerman, quotes UN Security Council Resolution 1325 which ludicrously claims “conflict and war have a disproportionate impact on women and girls.” Hmmm, apart from all those dead soldiers, who are almost all men. Zimmerman argues that it follows “special effort is needed to be taken to ensure the protection of women and girls from violence” and this requires addressing gender-based responses to extremism – which is her claimed expertise.

There are dozens of similar examples of feminist academics across Australia pushing this line, publishing articles, speaking at conferences, and making submissions to national security inquiries arguing that misogyny is a cause, sometimes even the cause of right-wing extremism. And they are packing a punch.

One Nation – old, ignorant, rural and poorly educated

According to Crikey’s video below – ‘Are we too mean to One Nation supporters?’ – surveys find that supporters of One Nation are more likely to be old, ignorant, rural, and poorly educated. In reply, I made the comment below:

The findings of the surveys are not the problem. It’s their interpretation by the likes of the people who inhabit such instruments as Crikey News and Guardian Australia, both of whom I characterise as dumb-left, people who mindlessly accept the unexamined leftist ideology they have had spoon-fed to them at school, university and in such organisations as the ABC and SBS.

The arrogance, snootiness, and condescension with which people like Bernard Keane regard the ‘uneducated’ was once irritating. Now it’s laughable to many of us. That’s why many supporters of One Nation are not afraid to give their support publicly. A farmer without a high school education who runs a successful farming operation is likely to have a shrewder political judgment than the university-educated brats who roam around the city centre holding up banners and shouting their silly political slogans. NB. I read Grace Tame’s review of Tony Abbot’s book on Australia. I’m embarrassed for Crikey News. I have a master’s degree in philosophy. For the time being, One Nation will get my vote in state and federal elections.

The Greens/Marxist/Islamic collusion – already in Australia

The Greens-Marxist-Islamic coalition occupies the streets of Australia, almost unhindered. That should be obvious to anyone whose brain is above the size of a garden pea. It’s a great feather in the cap of Trotskyist and Marxist maggot Josh Lees and Palestinian fanatic Nasser Mashni. How far is this poisonous coalition embedded in government?

White demographic suicide and their coloured replacement

I recently saw an article in one of Australia’s newspapers about young women who have sworn off having children. Photos of these childless women showed twenty-something white girls with naughty, rebellious smiles as if they were leading a long overdue social correction in their collapsing European society. Don’t they realise what they’re doing?

No, they don’t and couldn’t care less if they did know. The naughtiness and rebelliousness of their action are central to their self-esteem.

Australia’s ever-decreasing white population is contracepting, homosexualising, and aborting itself out of existence. I have been saying it for years.

Whenever people like me claim that the leftist/woke establishment has a policy of white replacement, you get reporters (mostly female) like Anna Henderson, Chief Political Reporter for the white-hating SBS, scoffing at the ignorance of such poorly educated, indoctrinated, far-right people. But have a look at the immigration figures. Over the last twenty years, migration to Australia has swung dramatically from predominantly white European countries to poor black and Asian countries.

The ABC and SBS support the change on the basis of woke ideology – both treasonous government-funded organisations – and the Labor Party support it because they can count on the votes of people who have migrated to Australia for the generous welfare. The undeniable figures are there, no matter what woke reporters like Henderson claim.
