Corrupt Australia presents an alternative to the politically correct channels of debate to reveal and scrutinize our society's structure/design which is simply too far removed from underlying reality. We are here to encourage an autonomous Australian culture which is free from the standardizing and overly materialistic clutches of globalisation and which encourages its participants to go further than simply contributing to a quantity over quality mindset and the banal and unsustainable conditions under which we may increase our love for and attainment of material mass. |

Racism or a healthy opposition to Pluralism?Tuesday 01 July 2008 at 3:40 pmA stance against pluralism is not racism. Pluralism, or the 'massification'/cramming in of different value systems under the one political entity, leads to social atomisation and decay in the long term. It is failure.
The religion of HumanismMonday 30 June 2008 at 4:51 pmWhen we survey all the instances where we demand that individuals should 'live' or be 'able' to live, despite the horrific conseqences, the possibility is raised that humanism is becoming a dogmatic religion in the modern age.

Democracy: don't blame the politicians or the votersThursday 26 June 2008 at 3:10 pmMass democracy is a Utopian dream that is allowing those with lots of power to manipulate vital issues to their own personal advantage via the minds of an unwitting public who are supposed to be capable of independent thought and a more than fleeting dedication to issues.
The political rally to pure economicsMonday 23 June 2008 at 4:09 pmThe mainstream political spectrum is increasingly narrowing itself to the agenda which holds that an indefinitely growing economy led by a purely economic elite is the key to all human life and problems.
Voters want Govt intervention to cut fuel pricesMonday 23 June 2008 at 3:21 pmThe people who are *supposed* to be in charge, the voting public, are ruled by emotion rather than objectivity and our parasitical politicians are all over it using it to their personal advantage

UN backs sef-determination and autonomy for BlacksThursday 19 June 2008 at 9:52 pmWhy is the proposal for indigenous peoples to have the right to pursue complete self-determination and autonomy so scary to us?

The decline of the WestMonday 16 June 2008 at 12:46 pmWe live in a declining society that rewards those who hold the most power when they fail: how telling is this?

Outrage over nude children exhibitionWednesday 28 May 2008 at 12:00 pmWe hope the same vehemence that has been displayed towards one artist by detractors of this exhibition will now be directed at entire industries that are profiting from the sexualisation of children.
Sex change approved for 12 y/oSunday 25 May 2008 at 2:23 pmThe same thinking behind many of our social problems is surely reaching full swing in true absurdity if we are allowing children as young as 12 to make the sweeping descision to alter their own gender.

Another Digger shot by Taliban in AfghanistanWednesday 30 April 2008 at 12:03 amAustralians are sacrificing themselves for a situation that, somewhat like an iceberg, has its basis hidden beneath the surface of appearences.

Why Nihilism?Saturday 26 April 2008 at 11:55 pmNihilism is invaluable as a mental attitude to highlight that 'good' and 'bad' are not fixed.

Reason Does Not Equal VirtueSaturday 15 March 2008 at 10:31 pmReason, or rationality, is simply the power to perceive and manipulate structure. Reason does not necessarily bring with it virtue, or 'goodness'.

"I'LL DO WHAT I WANT"Thursday 21 February 2008 at 7:28 pmParents think that by providing everything that their children desire, they will be content and feel loved. While this is true to an extent children also need to be taught the value of working for things and not to expect everything to be given to them. Parents also need to realise the value of character building for their children and that hardships should be part of their life experience. The alternative is disfunctional people who expect life to centre around them at all times. Read on.

LiberalismSaturday 12 January 2008 at 8:15 pmUnder the modern social philosophy of Liberalism there is little chance of agreement pertaining to the overall direction of society, apart from the fact that there is no overall direction, and so the nation has no more significant goals than providing conditions in which human beings can survive and splash around neurotically, while the quality of that existence means nothing.

End DemocracyMonday 19 November 2007 at 10:39 pmAs the circus of election '07 culminates, we point out some of the failings of modern democracy and what this means for us at this particular election.
