Children Go to the Back of the Queue

Mar 4, 2019

The Family Law System’s War on Fathers and Family

Say No to No-Fault Divorce

The Sexual Revolution: A Readers’ Guide

Yes, Children Need Their Mother and Father

Oct 30, 2017

Back in 1991 I wrote these words: “No matter how caring and loving, a surrogate care-giver can never replace a mother – or father – in providing security, love and a sense of self-worth to young children. Yet in a

No, Traditional Marriage and Family Are Not ‘Recent Inventions’

Oct 9, 2017

Those who hate the traditional married family unit utilise all sorts of means to attack it, denigrate it, and undermine it. One quite common ploy used over the past few decades is to claim that the family structure of mum,

Crushing Differences, Imposing Stifling Uniformity

The Feminist War Against Motherhood

Mar 29, 2017

On March 21 hard-core feminist Sarrah Le Marquand wrote a shocker of a newspaper opinion piece entitled “It should be illegal to be a stay-at-home mum”. Yes you read that right. In this uber-feminist rant she said this: “Rather than

Children, Mums, Dads and the Gender Benders

Mar 16, 2017

That the trans revolution is causing massive devastation to countless families and children, as well as to society and culture as a whole, is something I have now documented numerous times. So too have many others. But our concerns are

Feminist Follies and Political Poppycock

Mar 8, 2017

By now most of you will be aware of the latest madcap idea to come from the Victorian government and its hard-core left Premier Dan Andrews. You may remember the guy: the one who tried to ban Christmas carols, the

Chesterton and the Family

Mar 27, 2016
