Is the news Australians read, hear or view always objective, true and complete? In some news outlets, activism has taken over from journalistic integrity to push alternative ideas. Subjective opinion pieces are wrongly labelled as ‘news’, while important yet progressively unpalatable news is overlooked. Should our news stories be written with an ideological slant, or with a focus on reality? Who are the biggest culprits? You may be shocked.

Australia’s institutional childcare sector is in serious trouble. While expensive and short on places, the sector has been plagued by horrific sexual and physical abuse of children in their care by staff members. Parents are furious and the reworking of childcare arrangements has already begun for many. Could the voices of parents, together with some common sense, turn the sector around?

Women’s and girl’s sport in Australia is at the crossroads. Males identifying as female can now compete against women in most ‘community’ level sports. This is seeing women and girls leaving the sport they love due to safety and fairness. They’re also missing grade advancement and podium finishes. Yet parents, players, fans and coaches have had enough. Unfair play, helped by government funded LGBTQA groups, is fast approaching full-time.
