George Orwell warned that the greatest threat to a free society is not censorship at the margins but the quiet rewriting of reality itself. The moment a government can force citizens to say that two plus two equals five is the moment truth ceases to exist outside the reach of power. It is the moment a country begins to lose its mind.

Australia is drifting dangerously close to that moment.

The Albanese Government has not built a Ministry of Truth, but it has cultivated something far more pervasive. A culture where uncomfortable facts are softened, ignored or replaced by whatever narrative best suits the political weather. A culture where the loudest activists, the most aggressive online mobs and the most brittle institutions decide which truths Australians are allowed to speak. And which truths they must pretend not to notice.

We now live........
