These are exciting times to be a reader of, and subscriber to, The Spectator Australia, not to mention being its editor. After twelve successful years since the introduction of the Australian edition of the magazine, which every week combines the British ‘mothership’ print magazine with Australian and New Zealand political, analytical, cultural and lifestyle columns, we have attracted a steady stream of new readers who are looking for well-written, pithy, insightful, provocative and engaging voices in lieu of the bland and humourless offerings of the cloyingly ‘woke’ mainstream media.
