Why Australia Needs a New Moral Framework | Rule of Reason

Australia isn’t just in political or economic trouble — we’re facing a moral crisis. As truth becomes subjective and responsibility disappears, our nation is left divided, anxious, and without direction.

In this episode, Zac Rule explores why restoring Australia's future starts with restoring our shared values — truth, duty, family, and faith. This isn't about forcing religion or politics — it’s about rebuilding the foundations that once made our nation strong.

🎙️ Listen to learn:

• Why moral relativism is tearing society apart
• How duty and responsibility create real freedom
• What values once held Western civilisation together
• Why hope begins with rebuilding moral clarity

In this episode of Rule of Reason, we explore why family policy is the foundation of every successful society — and why it's been ignored for far too long. From tax injustice against stay-at-home parents to the soaring cost of living that crushes young families, we break down the real-world impact of policy that treats family life as an afterthought.

We cover:

✅ Why family is the bedrock of national stability

✅ How tax systems punish single-income households

✅ What Australia can learn from Hungary’s family-first model

✅ The hidden cost of childcare subsidies that exclude stay-at-home parents

✅ Why investing in families pays off across every area of government

🔎 Featuring real stats, bold ideas, and a call for in-home parenting to be treated as essential public work, not unpaid labour.

🧠 Let’s make family policy a national priority — not a political afterthought.

We live in the safest, most comfortable, and most connected time in human history — so why does it feel like we’re more anxious, isolated, and unhappy than ever?

In this episode of Rule of Reason, we unpack the hidden costs of modern life: endless distractions, social media comparison, consumerism, and the loss of meaning that comes from comfort without purpose. This isn’t about rejecting progress — it’s about understanding why convenience, abundance, and constant stimulation are leaving so many people feeling empty, overwhelmed, and directionless.

We explore:

Why comfort and convenience aren’t the same as happiness

How social media is rewiring our brains and feeding dissatisfaction

The death of community and real-world connection

Why chasing pleasure leads to numbness, not joy

What we can do to break the cycle and reclaim meaning in everyday life

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels like something is missing, even when “everything should be fine.” If you’ve been silently asking yourself, “Is this all there is?” — you’re not alone. And you’re not crazy.
