The Liberal Agenda – Te Papa Gallipoli: The Scale Of Our War
It’s an important exhibit to attend because it shows us how far we have yet to go in being honest about our history and being able to distill truth and wisdom from that honesty.

REVIEW: DR CORNEL WEST & DOUGLAS MURRAY: POLARISED
Murray’s intellect and laser like conservative logic is dazzling and what he argues for and about has depth, complexity and intelligence but the competing brilliance and moral certitude of radical compassion and revolutionary social justice preached by Dr West demands a call to action Murray occasionally matched but never beat.
