    Government spending $3.5 million to brainwash Australian boys

    Herein lies the problem for me, what is Healthy Masculinity, because no one can really define it. These days it seems that "Healthy Masculinity" is defined by what it is not, as opposed to what it is. Any attempt to define masculine characteristics is often derided as sexist, which is a huge...

    Should there be an Aboriginal voice to parliament?

    You dont agree with me so you are peddling misinformation. Seriously what ever happened to a well organised and thought out rebuttal to counter another argument? Maybe if the Yes campaign focused on that instead of calling everyone racists and getting celebrity/big business endorsements they...

    Should there be an Aboriginal voice to parliament?

    The Yes campaign seem to refuse to take responsibility, they seem to be blaming "misinformation" for the defeat or racism which is really weak. Im starting to really hate the word misinformation because people don't understand what it means. Misinformation doesn't include opinions, views or...

    What do you guys think of the Western Sydney guys supporting the hamas attack on the israelites and rallying over this?

    This 100%. Ive said it repeatedly, I cannot understand immigrants who leave their old country for Australia for a "better life" only to bring all their old country problems to Australia. I couldnt imagine going to my grandparents house and getting all political about the North-South divide in...

    Should there be an Aboriginal voice to parliament?

    A pretty predictable result on the whole, however the scale of the No victory is a surprise. I was predicting 57-43 to No, but it is looking like the Yes campaign might not top 40% nationally (especially with a lot of counting in WA to go and postal votes which tend to favour No). My thoughts...

    Are one gender schools (boys or girls schools) bad? why is this even a thing.

    I went to an all boys Catholic School and I would be dead against sending my kids to a single sex school. They really are a relic of the past and I think they do stunt your social development with the opposite sex. I noticed it in uni as a lot of the guys who went to Co-Ed schools were so much...

    Should there be an Aboriginal voice to parliament?

    Agreed. I think Brexit, the 2019 Federal election and especially the Trump win have given people a distorted idea of poll accuracy. In all those cases, the polls weren't way off, they were within the margin of error and people werent looking at the right polling. With Trump for example...

    Should there be an Aboriginal voice to parliament?

    I agree in principle, but maybe for different reasons. I think a decisive loss can be a good thing if it moves us away from radical left wing activist style policies. If a decisive loss means Indigenous issues just get ignored then I think it will be a disaster and a tragedy. What is...

    Should there be an Aboriginal voice to parliament?

    Nice to see a fellow centrist in the chat. Im deeply mixed about this failing. Whilst Im voting No, I do support recognition and I don't want to set back reconciliation. I also think that if the Voice gets up and ultimately fails to impact Indigenous outcomes, then Indigenous activists have...

    School and LGBT

    As opposed to Islamic ideology? If it is so "haram", why is your family here and not in the Middle East? You are fair to believe what you want, but it's rich dissing the western world when you have immigrated here. Obviously things cant be that special in the Middle East. The West must have...

    School and LGBT

    I think it has gone to far in a sense that there was a whole Pride month and now there is another day essentially. Don't get me wrong, I'm a strong supporter of the LGBT+ community, but I feel that there is a limit. I look at it this way, Veterans get two days per year (ANZAC Day and...

    Should there be an Aboriginal voice to parliament?

    Initially I thought it would be very similar to the SSM vote, but the more I think about it, the more I see there are key differences, namely: SSM was very simplistic, straightforward and easy for people to understand (i.e. can people of the same sex get married). It literally involved...

    Should there be an Aboriginal voice to parliament?

    He really has backed himself into a corner, I don't think nearly enough work has been done on developing a sound policy which is marketable. The No campaign really has been brilliant so far it must be said. Opting to put Warren Mundine and especially Jacinta Price at the centre of the campaign...

    Should there be an Aboriginal voice to parliament?

    As unpalatable as it would be, I think it would be easier to spin cancelling it then run the risk of having it be rejected by the Australian public at the ballot box. Albo can say "The public is indicating we need more detail, so we may need to go back to the drawing board" and then kick the...
