For decades, Australians have been denied the freedoms and self-evident truths their nation was founded upon. While a parade of political dinosaurs, claim to be their defenders. But the problem runs deeper than politics. Selfishness and egocentricity are corroding our civic life just as collectivism and co-dependency sits on the other side of the pendulum. What does genuine responsible citizenship look like and who's standing in the way?

From Madonna and Cyndi Lauper to Lady Gaga and Kylie, some of the most fearless dressing the world has ever seen have influenced fashion for decades. So why did menswear come away from it all in navy and grey? Daniel Montgomerie takes us back to fashion's greatest decade-defining moments to explore what men could and would look like, with a little colour and a lot of fun.

You can't make this stuff up. $50 billion a year. That's 50 million thousands in the hands of anyone willing to sell a sibling, son or mate, while the genuinely needy miss out.

Islam doesn't whisper its intentions — it broadcasts them. But the doctrine of Taqiyya, the sanctioned use of deception in service of expanding the Islamic world, has many thinking otherwise. To understand the Middle East, stop listening to the narratives and start reading the text.

As Australia's Muslim population grows where does the compatibility of certain Islamic legal rulings fit with Australian law and values. Some of the most controversial fatwas and practices include the legality of child marriage, the role of women in arranging marriages for their daughters, and a deeply divisive ruling from a number of sheikhs permitting sexual acts between male fighters during jihad. 

What does this mean for the future of Australia?

Five years on, the COVID cover-up is finally cracking open and someone is going to pay for it. Fauci's right-hand man has been indicted. And the man at the top? He got pardoned before a single charge could be filed. Is the truth about Wuhan  finally catching up with the people who buried it?

Energy isn't mentioned  in the Australian Constitution, yet Australia has a national electricity market with national rules and national regulators. The secret is in one state taking the lead, the others mirror its legislation, all of which include a clause to give the Commonwealth power over power and energy. In the case of energy, South Australia is lighting the way.

Zohran Mamdani swept into office promising a new New York, but is Zohran Mamdani's vision of government actually what citizens thought?  Critics say his brand of progressive governance is less about lifting people up and more about another agenda. Is he leading New Yorkers or creating a state of co-dependency?

The major parties have had decades to get it right, and they haven't. In a system so captured by vested interests and career politicians, could voting for Pauline Hanson be a rational act of protest? Not because you agree with everything she says, but because disruption has a value of its own. Mike Holt recommends a "spoiler vote," and what it will ultimately achieve for Australia. One Nation's presence can force an overthrow of a duopoly we have suffered for more than 100 years.

They left Australia to join one of the most brutal terrorist organisations in modern history. They watched, and in some cases supported beheadings, slavery, and mass murder. 

Now the Albanese government is rolling out the welcome mat. 

The women who left made a choice. Who's making the choices now, and are they making them for Australia or ISIS?
