Caleb Anderson: THE DECLINE OF THE WESTERN PROJECT.
Good policy should be the goal of every government, but good policy alone will not rescue the West. The West is engaged in a battle of ideas, not policies, and engagement needs to be at this level if the West is to be saved.
The recent vandalism of the English version of the Treaty at Te Papa, is a helpful object lesson, if an object lesson is required, that this is a battle of ideas.
Gargantuan efforts by our last government to suppress freedom of speech, to eliminate opposing views, the censorship relentlessly practised by our media, the removal of books from our libraries, introduction of new and poorly defined words into our vernacular, attacks on the English language and Western culture, and mass immigration, are all examples of efforts to influence and undermine the ideas that sit at the substrate of Western belief.
And this is global.
Unless engagement is at the level of ideas, sensible (and much needed) policy revision will gain the West an only temporary reprieve.
So what are the ideas at the centre of this all out attack on the West?
