Immigration has been a key topic of criticism for the Harris campaign by Republicans, who have strengthened their attacks, dubbing her as "border czar" for her involvement in dealing with the issue during the beginning of the Biden administration.

When an election rolls around, most of us know what to do on voting day. With varying degrees of enthusiasm, we go to our closest polling place, give our details and cast our ballots. After a century of compulsory voting, it seems pretty straightforward.

It’s easy to forget not every Australian is used to this process. What if you’ve never lived somewhere with compulsory voting? Or if you moved here from a place that actively discourages political engagement?

This is often the case for newer migrants. They can end up with lower levels of political literacy. This only further disadvantages these groups,...

By Darrell Owens — I was split on whether gun deaths or traffic deaths are the biggest death cults in the United States, but I’ve decided it goes to cars. However neutered gun control is, it’s not a popular mandate in polling but rather a quirk in effective lobbying. Car deaths and automobile manufacturer deregulation are a completely different level of insanity. Unfortunately, car centrism is the popular mandate in that most Americans really don’t care about people being killed by cars, even if the victims are their own family members, and are seemingly resistant to taking the necessary systemic steps to save lives.
