Richard Di Natale’s decision to quit politics is a policy we can all adopt
Richard Di Natale yesterday announced his retirement from politics, and his reasons make me want to stand up and applaud the long-overdue display of right thinking and political priority. Here’s the important part of what he said in his tweeted announcement. After nearly a decade as a senator, half that time as leader, this morning I’ve announced my resignation as Parliamentary Leader of the Australian Greens. It’s not a decision I’ve come to lightly because leading this incredible movement for nearly five years has been one of the biggest honours of my life. But my boys are nine and eleven years…
Morrison’s no retreat, no surrender Press Club speech shows a Prime Minister eager to serve
In a speech for the National Press Club on Wednesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison delivered the equivalent of a State of the Union address. From its content to his delivery, it was obvious that the Prime Minister was addressing the nation, not just the top end town. His address didn’t present a government in damage control, but a government that is in control. Morrison was right to not use the opportunity to give ground to noisy dishonest critics on social media. Many of whom come across as detached from everyday Australia, and seem to exist only as a deliberate distraction…
Rosie Batty doesn’t think work which pits women against men should be rewarded
Of all the hypocritical pig swill I’ve ever read in fake news, leftist rags, this one takes the cake. Rosie Batty – poster-girl for the misandristic men-are-evil-predators narrative about domestic violence – thinks Bettina Arndt doesn’t deserve her AO because her work, allegedly, “pits men against women”. Bettina’s work does not do that. Yet in the minds of many Australians: Rosie’s does. Bettina’s work objects to that being done by the toxic feminist narrative such as Battie regurgitates. It objects to Universities presuming accused boys & men guilty and circumventing our carefully evolved justice system with incompetent kangaroo courts. Bettina’s work objects to hyperbole from hyperventilating harpies about a…
WATCH: Avi Yemini arrested for his own ‘safety’ after being mobbed by Australia Day protesters
Avi Yemini was arrested by Victorian Police on Sunday after being mobbed by protesters at an anti-Australia Day rally. Yemini attended the Melbourne “Invasion Day” protest to cover the rally for TR News and interview anyone “willing to engage peacefully.” However, things took a turn when a mob of loud and angry protesters surrounded Yemini as he attempted to conduct interviews. In a bizarre move, nearby police officers handcuffed Yemini, claiming he was being arrested for his own safety. Yemini was then escorted from the rally and questioned by police. Despite mainstream media suggesting Yemini was arrested after “interrupting a…
Certain religious groups exempt from state law on religious grounds
Police in Canberra will no longer issue traffic infringements to cyclists not wearing a helmet, but only if the cyclists belong to certain religions. The new road safety regulations came into effect in December after pressure from religious groups claiming helmets are impractical for people whose religion requires them to wear a headdress. The amendments to the road safety regulations only apply to people of these religious groups, and persons caught riding a bicycle or mobility device who do not fall within these religious groups will still be fined for not wearing a helmet. Canberra now joins all other states,…
Christian Missionaries Established Homes for Aboriginals After “Half-Caste” Children and Their Mothers Were Abandoned by Their Own Tribes
Rev John Brown Gribble was born September 1, 1847, in Cornwall, England. As a young man, the reverend moved to Australia, where he worked as a missionary among the indigenous people in New South Wales, Western Australia, and Queensland.
NSW Police say more than 700 bushfires were deliberately lit
NSW Police have up their investigation into the cause of 12,000 bushfires across the state in recent months, after it was revealed at least 716 fires were deliberately lit. “A data collation and investigation plan has been developed to review the cause and impacts of the more than 1700 bushfires already reported to police; and consider the 12,000 fires recorded by the Rural Fire Service since August 2019,” police said in a statement released on Friday. Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith said 716 of the 1700 bushfires already reported to police this season had been classified as deliberate. “It ranges from…
Miracle Stories From The Australian Bushfires
The fires that have torn through the Australian landscape in recent weeks are without doubt the most widespread natural disaster in our nation’s living memory. Fellow Australians are hurting as they grieve the loss of properties, livelihoods and loved ones. Yet in the flames and through the smoke, there is hope, and evidence of God at work. The generosity of friends and strangers, the Australian spirit of mateship, and the reminder of what’s truly precious in life all speak to the presence of God in the midst of tragedy. Most profound of all, perhaps, are the mysterious stories that are…

Media fails to mention Brisbane drag queen’s full stage name and Adult Entertainment Award
One of the Queensland drag queens enlisted to read storybooks to young children at a Brisbane public library this week scored second-place at the 2019 Australian Adult Entertainment Awards. “Diamond Good-Rim” came second in the Drag Queen/King category last year, according to the XAWARDS website. Despite his full stage name being “Diamond Good-Rim”, the media chose to refer to him only as “Diamond”, as “Good-Rim” is an obvious reference to a sex act. The Adult Entertainment Awards website states: “XAWARDS every year invites Adult Businesses and Adult Entertainers to self-nominate as well as encourages people who engage Adult Services and…
Australian man faces 15-years jail after purchasing a child-like sex doll online
A 30-year-old South Australian man has been charged this week by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) for possessing a child-like sex doll. According to a joint media release by the AFP and South Australia Police, the man was charged late Tuesday by the South Australia Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team (SA JACET) under new Commonwealth laws targeting child abuse-related offences. If found guilty of possessing the anatomically-correct doll, the accused faces a potential 15-year jail term. SA JACET launched an investigation into the man’s activities after receiving intelligence from the NSW Police Force and Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC),…
“Crucify the Christians, Bash Bigots”: The Deadly Hypocrisy of the Progressive Left
It was only a few years ago, during Australia’s same-sex marriage debate, that a group of LGBTQ protesters stormed the stage at a Coalition for Marriage meeting in Melbourne. The protesters were chanting, “Crucify the Christians”, while waving a banner that read, “Burn churches, not queers.” Many same-sex marriage supporters saw the protest as a brave and courageous stand for love and equality. A month later the slogans, “Crucify ‘No’ Voters” and “Bash Bigots” was painted across the side of a Baptist church in Wheelers Hill. At the time, Lyle Shelton, former head of the Australian Christian Lobby and spokesman…
Wilson Gavin is a hero, but just hours after his death ‘tolerant progressives’ still aren’t done vilifying him
The Daily Mail Australia is reporting Wilson Gavin died after suffering critical injuries in suicide about 7am this morning at Chelmer Railway station. I am, was, friends with Wilson. He has nothing to apologise for and is a hero we all should take notes from. He hated no one, and dearly loved his Roman Catholic Church, taking his religion very seriously. He loved the Queen and our Commonwealth, and passionately advocated for conservative principles as the best ideas for all of his fellow Australians. Like the stranger in the parable of the Good Samaritan, he thought it his Christian imperative to practically…
Young Liberal in ‘drag queens are not for kids’ protest found dead
The young conservative student who led a protest against a Brisbane Drag Queen Story Hour for kids has died in a suspected suicide, The Daily Mail reports. Wilson Gavin’s death comes after he was ruthlessly slammed by news outlets and celebrities after footage of the “Drag queens are not for kids” protest was uploaded to social media yesterday. So the UQ Young Liberals decided to interrupt story time at a public library where a drag queen is reading to children only to be abused by homophobic slurs @LiberalAus. What are they doing to support the community? pic.twitter.com/dB7zXeVL7i — CORY (@corydunco)…
Fairfax deletes story about Islamic group urging Muslims to start bushfires as a form of terrorism
Note: Authorities have given no indication that the current bushfires are the result of terrorist activity. The Brisbane Times has deleted an article claiming Australia was once singled out as a target for “forest fire jihad” by a group of Islamic extremists. According to the Fairfax publication, the group urged Muslims to deliberately light bushfires as an effective form of terrorism justified in Islamic law under the “eye for an eye” doctrine. The article, titled ‘Islam group urges forest fire jihad’, was originally published September 7, 2008, and claimed: “US intelligence channels identified a website calling on Muslims in Australia, the…
Greens candidate runs workshop for climate activists on how to counter police equipment – from handcuffs to tear gas
Greens candidate Tom Raue is set to host a workshop designed to teach climate activists how to counter police equipment when they come into conflict with the authorities. The workshop, ‘Countering Police Equipment – from Handcuffs to Tear Gas’, is part of a weeklong event for ‘Students of Sustainability 2020‘ (SoS) which is being held at the University of Sydney from January 12. SoS describes itself as an “annual grassroots convergence and critical education space that empowers new and diverse generations of people to participate in the climate justice movement.” A Facebook event advertising Raue’s workshop states: “As climate change…
Police fear “resource drain” as climate protesters refuse to reschedule planned protest
Victorian Police have pleaded with organisers and civilians to reconsider attending a planned climate protest on Friday, January 10 as emergency services will be stretched on the day predicted to see dangerous fire conditions flare. The event, organised by Uni Students for Climate Justice, has been planned with the intent of calling on more funding for fire and emergency services, to call on an immediate transition away from fossil fuels, and to demand the sacking of Prime Minister Scott Morrison. In a post on Facebook, the organisers said: “We demand the government: Pay all firefighters and give them force full…
Former Greens candidates celebrate bushfires destroying local woodchip mill which employs more than 70 people
An environmental group, headed by former Greens candidates, has celebrated the destruction of a local woodchip mill after it was set ablaze by out of control bushfires on the NSW south coast. The group, Environment East Gippsland (EEG), published a Facebook post on Monday, showing the Eden Woodchip Mill on fire along with a caption celebrating the devastation. “YESSS!!! In all this horrific loss – some really good news!” the group wrote. “The Eden Chipmill is burning down – all buildings and infrastructure as well as the woodchip pile.” Hours later, after the group had received a barrage of complaints,…

Peace after the firestorm: Epiphany 2020, bush fires, fire-activated seeds and our nation’s hope
At the end of Isaiah, the prophet talks about the relationship between new life and the heat of judgement. Given the devastation we’re seeing from the immense fires since September in Australia, these verses have special relevance. This doesn’t justify arson, or the political opportunism seeking to advance, distract, manipulate and use the suffering of others to feed self-interest. The relationship between new life and the heat of judgement speaks to all of us. It’s here, and not with pyromania, or political opportunism that the Word found in the prophetic meets with the pyrophytic. Horticulturalists tell us that some Australian…
