Devine studied first-year architecture at the University of Sydney, where she was a resident at Sancta Sophia College and worked briefly at the CSIRO's Division of Textile Physics.
Most recently, Devine's columns, focused on United States politics, are published by the New York Post[6] and she makes appearances promoting her articles on local media outlets.
[11] Devine has also been accused by The Guardian and The Sydney Morning Herald of promoting the white genocide conspiracy theory and has been described as pivotal in popularising the concept within Australian politics.
[13] Devine suggested in 2009 that conservationists were to blame for the poor management of forested areas and national parks, and consequently for the deaths during the Black Saturday bushfires event.
Devine also accused the Gay and Lesbian Teachers and Students Association of coaching Tsakalos’ camp performance for financial reward, and to make him into "an international poster boy for the homosexual movement",[20] a speculation strenuously refuted by his mother.
[21] In 2011, Devine used the news of Australian federal government minister Penny Wong's decision to parent a child with her female partner as the basis of a column in which she argued that the 2011 riots in England were the result of a "fatherless society".
[22][23] Writing for ABC News, Catherine Deveny criticised Devine's claim that same-sex marriage was a "political tool to undermine the last bastion of bourgeois morality - the traditional nuclear family".
[26] In 2019, Devine defended Cardinal George Pell, at the time facing charges of which he was ultimately acquitted, related to the sexual assault of two 13-year-old boys, claiming that the victim's "accusations are implausible" and that "Victoria police chief Graham Ashton desperate for a distraction from the crime epidemic he’s incapable of stopping".
[41][better source needed] The fact checking website PolitiFact says out that this claim is wrong, and that the actual property referenced is Hunter Biden's office space in the "House of Sweden" building on K Street, Washington, D.C. [42] In June 2017, soon after the Grenfell tower fire in London, Devine claimed that "aluminium composite cladding was applied to the building last May, not just for its good looks but as a sustainable energy solution to achieve green ticks in the carbon-obsessed British regulatory system."
"[44] Devine was one of the inaugural recipients of this award, established by RealClearPolitics to honor individuals who demonstrate exceptional courage in upholding the principles of the First Amendment and resisting censorship.
