Spectator finds the unified field theory of grievance

Stephen Fyson argues that leaders who can't define a woman can't be trusted to run the NDIS, yoking culture war and welfare policy into a single column.

Spectator op-ed yokes the woman question to the NDIS like it's a syllogism. Mate, one's a culture war bumper sticker, the other's a thirty-billion-dollar scheme bleeding rorts because nobody costed it properly. Conflating the two isn't analysis — it's a bloke at the bar who's read one Quadrant article and reckons he's cracked the code.
