Creative Subversion, The Liberal Arts and Human Educational
Fulfilment
David Daintree.
Paperback, 190 pages
The mushrooming of human knowledge has given rise in our
schools and universities, particularly in our arts faculties, to a post-modern
despair of ever finding objective truth, spawning a nebula of petty and unrelated
subjects driven by the ephemeral fancies of the day.

Manus Days: The Untold Story of Manus Island
Michael Coates
Foreword by Miranda Devine

Soon, he and other young men like him find themselves at the epicentre of
Operation Sovereign Borders - the controversial Manus Island Regional

A Politically Correct Dictionary and Guide
Kevin Donnelly
Paperback, 164 pages
This work commendably highlights its stultifying effect on
plain speaking. Not everyone will
identify with all of the examples he cites, but the volume is a useful
contribution to a better understanding of how simple, direct language has been
undermined.

Really Dangerous Ideas
Edited by Gary Jones
Paperback, 151 pages
The inspiration for this book of essays came from the
Festival of Dangerous Ideas (FODI). The Sydney Opera House and the St James
Ethics Centre have hosted FODI for four years. Although the organisers try to
canvass ideas that appeal across the political spectrum, they are about as
balanced as the ABC1 television’s Q&A and as subtle as, ‘when did you stop
beating your wife?’ For example, Israel is an apartheid state was a nice little
starter in the 2012 Festival. Ilan Pappe an Israeli was invited to speak; he is
the author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. Who are the people who attend
FODI and believe the nonsense they are fed? Those who forsake the world of
markets and profit, who forsake religion, except for environmentalism, who forsake
science, except in the service of climate change abatement policies. They are
the people we call, and they also call, Progressives. The proposition in this
book is that not much progress occurs when Progressives rule the policy roost.

The Zen of Being Grumpy
Mark Lawson
Paperback, 110 pages
Are you proud to be politically incorrect, loathing
alternate therapies and green activists, then this irreverent send-up of our
modern culture’s fashionable obsessions is for you.
Mark Lawson, whose heroes are Darth Vader and Ebenezer
Scrooge, satirises those things especially dear to the mass media and
chattering classes, like climate change alarmism and the worship of youth.
Young people, he says, are not special, being the same as older people, but
with less experience. “They are just as clueless as their parents.”
The Zen of Being Grumpy will resonate with those of
“advanced middle age” and beyond, “who have ceased to care”, yearn to be
“liberated from the perpetual pleas of do-gooders and activists” and keep
themselves busy “ignoring all conscious-raising activities”.

EMERGENCY POWERS, COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS & MANDATORY
VACCINATION
A ‘RULE-OF-LAW’ PERSPECTIVE
Augusto Zimmermann
Gabriël Moens AM
Paperback, 140 pages
he main argument of this book is that vaccine mandates
facilitate the creation of a fundamentally unfair and unequal society where
vaccinated people are privileged and the unvaccinated become second-class
citizens who are excluded from most activities of normal life and are regarded
as lepers in their own country. In this context, this book discusses the
concept of legality known as the ‘rule of law’, and the use of emergency powers
in Australia. It also focuses on the unconstitutionality of mandatory
vaccination, and it examines the possible use of the external affairs power in
the Constitution to combat mandatory vaccination. Also discussed in this book
is the role that civil disobedience can play when protesting the imposition of
vaccine mandates and other draconian measures. Finally, the reader is invited
to ponder how the use of emergency powers is historically used as a means of
suppressing fundamental rights and dramatically increasing the power of the
State.
