When I first saw the New Conservative launch in 2018, I panned the idea. The "new conservatives are just as boring as the old" was my response. I didn't expect to hear from them again, but then something unexpected happened.
A friend of mine made a complaint to the BSA about Newshub’s first ever “Because It Matters” show about the dangerous “far-right”, because Patrick Gower's conclusions were not backed up with any evidence.
Next to my bed lies a stack of books, the one on top right now is "The Meaning of Conservatism" by the late Sir Roger Scruton. For Sir Scruton, conservatism was not merely about politics, but rather about love and beauty.

Laura Klassen, who made anti-abortion videos that Family First publicised, posted a retrospective on Facebook on how 2019 changed the way she viewed abortion.
As 2019 draws to a close, the gun confiscation programme the government undertook this year has come to an end. I wasn't expecting the confiscation programme to fail this badly, but it did.

I totally disagree with what Australia Q&A's Mona Eltahawy has to say about white people, men, and capitalism. But I have to say that I have gained an appreciation for her after reading "Headscarves and Hymens".
Is it possible to write a bill that's worse than the First Tarrant Law? Apparently it is. It all goes wrong in the preamble. Owning firearms is a right, and the wording that claims to the contrary cannot change that fact.
