Here is the authors' response.

One of our most dearly beloved readers is celebrating his 89th birthday today. Malcolm recently said to me that " I lived a childhood that was so uneventful that it was what some would say was safe. It was happy... kind. I never knew anything other than happiness. Life was carefree and exciting, for although war clouds were gathering there was no hint of concern that I could detect. "

It should never be forgotten that one man brought water to the West Australian arid Goldfields and ships into Fremantle Harbour. One man ensured that the railways could unite a vast country like Australia.
That man was not only a remarkable human being and a pioneer, but also a truly outstanding Civil Engineer. He is a true Australian hero.

When I was a little girl, we wanted to buy a teddy bear. Long before the days of cheap Chinese imports, you could buy a handmade teddy from the local looney bin. Or at least, that is what we called them when we were little kids. Redhead of course didn't call them that. She called them " special hospitals. " And therein lies the rub: who knows what goes on in a child's mind? And childish minds now rule our world.

I would not normally comment on matters published on other sites. However, the thrust of the article was a denigration of Australia’s supposed subservience to the United States starting with our involvement in WW2 and gradual acceptance of American culture following WW1.

The question of whether a third American “civil war” has begun occurred to me after reading a recent New York Times piece (deliberately unlinked as it fails fact checking) that claimed that the president can mandate a vaccine today because George Washington did so during America’s first “civil war,” more commonly called the American Revolution (1775-83).

I am a Christian Brothers College (CBC) old boy and attended a few of the colleges as a boarder. The brothers were dedicated, good and holy men, albeit harsh at times, but I received a good education, learned how to be tough and survive, and have no complaints. There was never any suggestion of sexual impropriety, and anyone caught indulging in, or even discussing such conduct, would have had their heads knocked off. When we had Saturday night pictures, a brother would stand by the projector and place his hand over the camera during any sexually suggestive or kissing scenes. To have been sexually abused by a brother would have been unthinkable. Those were the Christian brothers.
