This website is dedicated to restoring common sense and conservative principles as the best way forward for our nation.
I make no apologies for defending the important things that have made our nation great: our families, our economic freedom and the traditional values which have been the cornerstone of our society.
Subscribers to my e-letter receive a weekly dose of common sense that is almost guaranteed to entertain, amuse and infuriate. I also share my regular column of ‘controversial ideas’ that political Left would prefer you didn't hear about because they challenge their radical agenda.
To find out more, subscribe today – it’s free – and get involved with the common sense revolution. It would be great to have you as part of the team.
Get involved with the common sense community by subscribing to my weekly email. This way you'll stay up-to-date with all of my activities and thoughts on recent issues.
Now more than ever we need to be on the front foot, protecting the values, culture and traditions that have made Australia the wonderful place it is today.

Last night I was interviewed by Leigh Sales on the ABC’s 7.30 program. Sales was her professional self and we discussed my continuing efforts to create a stronger and more effective conservative voice in the public square.
I referred to my speech at the National Press Club in 2014 which covered the dissatisfaction with politics and politicians and the potential for it to prompt a rise in anti-establishment political forces.
Back in 2009 I travelled to Europe to see the impact of their immigration program and how it had affected the cultural and social fabric of a number of countries.
I was horrified by what I saw because the inevitable consequences were obvious to anyone prepared to confront reality. At the time there were very few prepared to do so. One was Dutch politician Geert Wilders, whom I met in Amsterdam.
It's the final Senate week before the Budget is due in May and the focus is on Senate voting reform.
To say that things are a little fractious would be an understatement. Labor and the Independents are incensed about the reforms and a few Libs (like me) wonder about the wisdom of any policy that requires and receives the support of the Greens to get through!
The media speculation is that Australia will be headed to the national polls on July 2 for a double dissolution (DD) election.
This is where both Houses of Parliament are dissolved and all senators face the voters (rather than only half as per normal).
