Mark Latham: ‘Class warfare has been replaced by identity warfare.’
I worry that Australia is sleepwalking its way to disaster. Political correctness, identity politics and cultural Marxism have run through our institutions at an astonishing rate. Sometimes I’m asked why I wasn’t saying these things when I was leader of the Labor Party in 2004. The answer is straightforward: none of these issues were current 14 years ago. They simply didn’t exist. Australian politics has been through a remarkable period of change. Prior to the election of the Rudd Government in 2007, the budget was in surplus, our electricity supply was stable and affordable, political correctness had disappeared and only…
WATCH: Leftists confront Senator Mitch McConnell and his wife at restaurant, other customers come to his defense.
Senator Mitch McConnell was harassed by four men on Friday night while dining at a restaurant with his wife in Louisville. “Why don’t you get out of here? Why don’t you leave the entire country?” one of the aggressors yelled at the Kentucky Republican and his wife. According to reports, one of the men slammed his fist on McConnell’s table before throwing his food out of the restaurant door. “Leave him alone,” other customers began to shout. “Nobody cares!” The men were eventually escorted from the restaurant. Earlier this month McConnell was confronted at Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C.,…
Directing Light Under The Shadow Of Nihilism: How Abortion Negates Freedom
For those who believe in absolute freedom, any “no” spoken to humanity from outside humanity, is repressive, and unfairly restrictive. In the shadow of this logic, even a lighthouse or global positioning navigation is offensive. Both the lighthouse and GPS direct humanity. They protect freedom, because in their very confrontation with us, they invite true freedom. They remind us of individual responsibility. Their existence shows us the necessity and power of decision. They direct us to make responsible choices. The existence of the lighthouse warns us that danger awaits. To act in absolute freedom and ignore this warning, is to…
Bridges turn purple to raise awareness of Rett Syndrome, Jackie Trad hijacks the cause: they’re purple to celebrate abortion.
Queensland is celebrating the decriminalisation of abortion by turning the bridges purple, or so Jackie Trad initially thought. The state’s deputy premier posted photos on Twitter Thursday afternoon showing Victoria Bridge and Kurilpa Bridge lit up purple. “Love seeing our local bridges beaming with purple light to celebrate the passing of our bill to decriminalise abortion,” Trad said. “We’re keeping them lit up right across the weekend so make sure you go check them out.” Love seeing our local bridges beaming with purple light to celebrate the passing of our bill to decriminalise abortion. We’re keeping them lit up right…
‘Tuck Buddies’: Underwear to help boys as young as five hide their gender.
There’s a new line of underwear on the market, and it’s helping ‘transgender’ boys as young as five hide their penises. “Tuck Buddies” were created to be a “comfortable underwear option for transgender kids.” The product is designed with an extra layer at the front to “provide a bit of padding and coverage for young trans kids.” “My five and a half year old trans daughter has pretty much always presented as a female,” one customer said. “As an infant everyone assumed she was a baby girl.” “Around five, after transitioning, she really started noticing her penis more, and complaining…
Does everything have to be seen through the prism of gender?
A recent opinion piece on news.com.au has argued that women should be outraged at the recent vote to decriminalise abortion by the Queensland Parliament, because of the strong gender divide between the yes and no votes. You see, we should be outraged that most female MPs voted yes and that male MP’s dominated the no vote. The picture presented here is that the vast majority of women are in favour of killing babies and it’s that evil patriarchy who are holding them back – men who don’t deserve to contribute to this debate because they don’t have a uterus. While…
Simone Weil: Marxism is a badly constructed religion.
Details about Simone Weil’s life and thought are enigmatic. Other than what’s included in the general encyclopedic biographies circling the internet, I know very little about her. Unlike someone such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, there is no long, authorised biography written by her friends. What knowledge I have been about to find out about her, is padded by what I’ve learnt from conversations with internet friends, whose admiration for her work has increased over the years. Simone was a French intellectual. Like Jacques Ellul, Weil worked in the French resistance, was an admirer of Karl Marx, and a contemporary of Albert…
The abortion of our conscience
It is the best of times. At no other time in human history has there been less war or invasion, plagues or pestilence, slavery or poverty. There has never been more knowledge, education and instant availability of information literally in the pockets and at the fingertips of more people than there is now. We are empowered, free and masters of our own destiny. We are civilised and enlightened and the major problems which plagued humanity for millennia have largely been solved. But it is the worst of times. We boast of social progress from the pagan ignorance of slavishly worshipping…
Study: Christian persecution is worse now than any time in history.
Christian persecution is worse today than at any time in history, according to a study released by Catholic organization Aid to the Church in Need. “Not only are Christians more persecuted than any other faith group, but ever-increasing numbers are experiencing the very worst forms of persecution,” the report said. In fact, the persecution is so severe that in many cases “genocide and other crimes against humanity now mean that the Church in core countries and regions faces the possibility of imminent wipe-out.” The report reviewed 13 countries and found that in all but one, the situation for Christians was…
ABC: The word ‘guys’ is sexist towards women and problematic for LGBTQ people, use ‘pals,’ or ‘peeps’ instead.
The PC brigade are at it again, this time suggesting the word ‘guys,’ when used in a gender-neutral sense, is sexist toward women and problematic for some in the LGBTQ+ community. Critics are arguing that it positions men as the “default” because “guy” in the singular refers to a male. “Guys is gender neutral!” pic.twitter.com/4JlLa6dv2e — Stephanie (@stefness) December 8, 2017 Lisa Annese, CEO of Diversity Council Australia said, some people feel excluded by the word. “The word ‘guys’ can be used to mean both men and women — but not for everybody.” According to The ABC, the term is…
The Queensland Parliament gives the green light to abortion… so expecting parents aren’t inconvenienced with a baby.
When Queensland Deputy Premier, Jackie Trad, put forward her case for abortion, she basically appealed to three arguments: (1) “The right of women to control their own reproduction, their own bodies, is such an important part of equality in our society. (2) To prioritise the rights of a fetus above that of a woman is something that I find offensive. (3) Because the logical conclusion to that argument is that a woman should be forced to continue an unwanted pregnancy.” These tried old arguments are completely wrong for the following reasons: 1. In an abortion, a woman isn’t “controlling” her…
Abortion decriminalised in Queensland: up to 22-weeks no questions asked, after 22-weeks with doctors’ approval.
Queensland’s abortion decriminalisation bill passed State Parliament Wednesday night, 50 to 41. Abortion will now be removed from the criminal code and made a “health issue,” allowing women to abort their babies up to 22 weeks’ gestation. Abortions after 22 weeks will be allowed with the approval of two doctors. Safe zones will also be established around abortion clinics to prevent pro-lifers and side-walk counselors from reaching out to women seeking an abortion. Queensland Deputy Premier Jackie Trad celebrated the outcome saying, “What a day for women. What a day for Queensland. We finally did it.” Lyle Shelton from the…
Nazi Maker: “When you can’t find a Nazi to punch, you make a Nazi to punch.”
Liberal film maker Justin Norman has created a short satirical video poking fun at, what he believes, is a specific problem with many liberals and leftists. According to Norman, the video was inspired by the absurd discourse surrounding comments made by conservative commentators such as, Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin. WATCH:
It’s not Wong to say “It’s okay to be white”
Senator Pauline Hanson has once again caused remarkable controversy by saying something entirely unremarkable. “It’s okay to be white.” Apparently this is highly controversial because an idiot said it once upon a time. That’s it. It’s not factually incorrect. There is nothing inherently intolerant, violent, hateful or inaccurate about it. Of course, if the outrageous motion put by the Senator to our Commonwealth Parliament was repeated in Cape Town, you can be sure Cyril Ramaphosa would be frothing at the mouth nearly as much as Senator Penny Wong is now. According to Penny, “everyone” knows the phrase is used by…
Lesbian teacher admits she ‘hides’ LGBTQ issues in math classes: ‘I just tell their parents, I’m teaching your kid division.’
Alicia Gunn is an award winning public school teacher from Mississauga, Ontario. Gunn’s teaching methods are such a hit, her work has been endorsed by the Ontario government. She also happens to be a lesbian. At a pro-gay teachers’ conference in 2015, Gunn revealed how she teaches 9 to 10 year old kids to accept homosexuality without their parent’s knowledge or consent. “I can hide it a little bit in the math,” Gunn said. “And what I mean is I can say, ‘I’m just teaching your kid about division…’” LISTEN: As an example, Gunn presented her math lesson on triangles.…
The absurd attacks on religious freedom in Australia.
During her recent appearance on Q&A, Labor MP Terri Butler made two terrible arguments against religious schools being able to discriminate against homosexual teachers: 1) Doesn’t your religion teach you to ‘love your neighbour’? 2) Homosexual teachers don’t teach maths any differently to heterosexual teachers. In response: 1) Of course Christians are to love their neighbours. But what does it mean to love your neighbour? Terri Butler’s absurd idea of love would also mean that a Christian school should not discriminate against an atheist being employed as a teacher, because after all, aren’t Christians called to love them? Indeed we are…
Review: ‘Dream With Me: Race, Love & The Struggle We Must Win,’ John M. Perkins
John M. Perkins is an American civil rights campaigner. His 2017 book, ‘Dream with Me’, is a brave step forward in seeking to create better dialogue between both black and white communities. Overall, ‘Dream With Me’ is a call for both black and white Americans to unite, in their diversity, under God. This review will focus on two primary strengths of Perkins’ work. The first strength is the presence of a Theology of Christian Liberation. Perkins refuses to take the easy path of perpetual anger, condescension and resentment – both traits found in Black liberation theology (which is largely tainted by…
Pauline Hanson’s ‘It’s okay to be white’ motion defeated 28-31: ‘It seems the Senate doesn’t think its okay to be white…’
Last month Senator Pauline Hanson asked the Australian Senate to acknowledge a rise in anti-white racism, along with increased attacks on Western civilisation. Senators were also asked to acknowledge that it is “okay to be white.” Yesterday the motion was defeated 28-31. “My motion for the Senate to acknowledge the rise of anti-white racism has been defeated 28-31,” the One Nation leader tweeted. “Labor, Greens, Xenophon Team and Derryn Hinch voted against it.” “It seems the Senate doesn’t think it is okay to be white while at the same time denying the rise of anti-white racism.” My motion for the…
Transgender MMA Fighter Breaks Female Opponent’s Skull. Is It Now Ok for a Man to Hit a Woman?
In 2014, Fallon Fox, a transgender MMA fighter, beat his female opponent, Tamika Brents, so severely, that she suffered a broken skull and concussion before being TKO’d. The fight lasted one round and was over in almost two and a half minutes. It’s not easy viewing, but the entire fight, including the bloody end, can be viewed below: In an interview following the fight, Brents said: I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because she was born a…
WATCH: Neil Patrick Harris says, when he was 13-years-old Whoopi Goldberg promised him sex.
Neil Patrick Harris inadvertently called out Whoopi Goldberg during his appearance on The View last week. When the star of How I Met Your Mother began discussing his childrens’ birthday party, Goldberg began to laugh. The confused panel then turned their attention to Goldberg and questioned why she was laughing. “I’m laughing because I remember you at that age,” she responded. Harris then told the panel that he filmed his first movie with Goldberg. “A movie called Clara’s Heart and we worked together on that,” Harris said. “She told me — I was what, 15-16-years old — she told me on my…
