What if homophobia isn’t the reason why LGBTQ people are more likely to commit suicide?
The National LGBTI Health Alliance has said, “LGBTI people have 3.5 to 14 times higher rates of suicide than the general population.” It’s often claimed that the increased suicide rate among LGBTQ people is due to homophobia and stigmatization. In the following video, Big Deal examines that claim, pointing out that while in the past 30 years stigmatization has dropped substantially, this has had little to no impact on suicide rates. If stigmatization was the cause, shouldn’t the suicide rate drop as stigmatization decreases? What if, in an attempt to stamp out “homophobia,” we’re missing something else? What if people…
Westfield celebrates Islam with Ramadan Workshop for Kids
Westfield shopping centre is currently hosting a Ramadan workshop for kids. According to the store’s website, children are invited to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, “an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.” Children participating in the celebration will be able to create and decorate their own Islam-themed bookmarks and mobiles. Alongside the workshops will be story time, featuring ‘It’s Ramadan, Curious George’. It was only recently that outspoken atheist, Richard Dawkins warned, “Before we rejoice at the death throes of the relatively benign Christian religion, let’s not forget Hilaire…
Bill Shorten thinks everything you earn belongs to the government
Simon Breheny, director of policy at the Institute of Public Affairs, nails it. Tax cuts aren’t handouts, as Bill Shorten suggests, not unless the government owns everything you earn. Tax cuts are… not giveaways. They’re not subsidies, or grants, or donations… Tax cuts just mean people get to keep more of what they earn. Tax cuts don’t give you money earned by somebody else. WATCH: Tax cuts aren't handouts. pic.twitter.com/RwYgIup0bl — Simon Breheny (@Simon_Breheny) May 11, 2018
Heartbreaking testimony from a mother who aborted her child: ‘a woman’s right to choose is not freedom, it’s a prison’
Abortion providers often present themselves as champions of women’s rights. The word “care” is used frequently to describe the sort of services they provide. And anyone who challenges the pro-abortion movement is quickly dismissed as irrelevant and hypocritical for caring only about the lives of the unborn, not the mothers. Of course, none of this is actually true. Every time a female baby is aborted, a woman’s rights are violated. Removing a babies’ right to life is nothing short of heartless murder, certainly not “care.” And what they often don’t warn you about is life after an abortion for the…
The reality of nappy consent
There’s the expectation: “Ask your child for consent before changing their nappy…” And then, there’s reality:
Mark Latham destroys Peter FitzSimons: ‘a one-man, putrid, steaming cesspit of hypocrisy’
Mark Latham slammed Peter FitzSimons on Facebook yesterday, after the Herald columnist took yet another swing at rugby player Israel Folau for expressing Christian beliefs. Israel Folau should: — Peter FitzSimons (@Peter_Fitz) May 9, 2018 “The Red Pirate Peter FitzSimons is a natural-born elite,” wrote Latham. “He lives in an expensive house in an exclusive suburb. He has lots of access to the media. So like all elites, he thinks he has the right to tell other people how to live their lives.” In this Herald article he writes of how “Rugby is an inclusive game”. Then he says Israel…
Chilling! Watch Google’s digital assistant convince people it’s actually HUMAN
The future has arrived, and it’s kind of creepy. Google have demonstrated their digital assistant’s ability to mimic human interaction over the phone. The bot is so convincingly human that it was able to book a hair appointment and make a restaurant reservation without those on the other end of the line realizing they were actually speaking to a machine. You can watch the demonstration in the video below.
Karl Stefanovic accuses Israel Folau of provocation and persecution: ‘Show a little more compassion and love, as the Bible teaches’
On Monday, rugby player, Israel Folau shared a video on Twitter featuring a 10-minute excerpt of a sermon preached by the late David Wilkerson. The message was based on Hebrews 3:15 which reads, “As it is said, ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.’” With great love i wanted to share this video in the hope that people watch it and think about it. Jesus is coming back soon and he wants us to turn to him through repentance and baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38) please don't harden…
Study: Mr Men and Little Miss books are sexist and encourage misogynistic gender stereotypes
A recent study out of the University of Lincoln has found the Mr Men and Little Miss book series to be sexist. The findings are based on 47 Mr Men and 34 Little Miss books published between 1971 and 2014. The study found that throughout the series male characters were given more words than female characters. While females were given an average of 54.5 words per story, males were given 61.5. So, if males talk more it’s sexism, but if females talk more it’s a gender stereotype. In 51.5 per cent of cases, Little Misses were saved by another character,…
ABC: Ask your child for consent before changing their nappy
‘Leave a space, wait for body language, wait to make eye contact.’ This advice, courtesy of the ABC, is for parents who may be guilty of changing their child’s nappy without first asking for their consent. Pure, unadulterated leftist lunacy, and we’re still funding it. Also see: The reality of nappy consent We work with parents from birth… just about how to set up a culture of consent in their home so, “I’m going to change your nappy now. Is that okay?” Of course the baby’s not going to respond, “Yes mum, that’s awesome. I’d love to have my nappy changed.”…
Jeff Durbin: Socialism is Theft
In the following message, Jeff Durbin speaks on what the Bible has to say about socialism, taxation, and Biblical economics. What are some consequences of rejecting God’s commands and the biblical worldview? Overblown taxation, a broken system, too much government. What does God say in 1 Samuel 8? “I’ll give them a king and he’s going to take your kids to war… When I punish a nation I’m going to give them a king to punish them that will tax them at 10 per cent.” That’s God’s judgement on a nation. What’s that mean? The state is going to have…
All Blacks to wear LGBTQ rainbow, as they call for millions to fight against the Christian view of homosexuality
The All Blacks have hit back after Australian rugby star, Israel Folau, caused controversy last month by publicly citing the biblical view of homosexuality. In a display of solidarity with the LGBTQ “community,” the New Zealand rugby team will now sport a jersey that reveals the LGBTQ rainbow when stretched. The new jerseys are part of the #DiversityIsStrength campaign, headed up by team sponsor AIG Insurance. An ad for the campaign was also released on the All Blacks official Facebook page. In call-to-arms style, the ad’s narrator calls for thousands, even millions, to help fight in the “next battle” against…
The stages of fetal development

Week 3: By the end of the third week the child’s backbone spinal column and nervous system are forming. The liver, kidneys and intestines begin to take shape.

Cory Bernardi gave this speech in 2011, it needs to be heard today
Seven years ago, on March 22, 2011, Australian Senator Cory Bernardi gave a brilliant speech in Parliament warning Australians about the unintended consequences of multiculturalism. “I don’t want to see Australia go down the path of so many other Western democracies that are now struggling to maintain their national identity,” the Senator said. Using the United Kingdom as an example, Bernardi quoted Britain’s chief rabbi who said: The British started seeing their own history as an irredeemable narrative of class, snobbery, imperialism, racism and social exclusion. It was in this atmosphere that, in the 1970s, multiculturalism was born. It said, there…
Pulse shooting survivor says he’s no longer gay after finding Christ
On June 12, 2016, Muslim terrorist Omar Mateen, entered the Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. At about 2am, Mateen opened fire on the patrons, killing 49 people and wounding 53 others. Luis Ruiz was present on the night of the shooting. Two of his close friends were shot dead. Ruiz said, “I should have been number 50.” Ruiz felt he had been given another chance at life, and that led him to reflect on the life he was living. “Going through old pictures of the night of Pulse, I remember my struggles of perversion, heavy drinking to drown…
After saving 164 criminals from deportation, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal invites all 304 members to a luxury resort – and you’re paying the bill
All 304 Administrative Appeals Tribunal members have been invited to a luxury Queensland resort at your expense. The Herald Sun has revealed, taxpayers will be hit with a $500,000 bill to cover flights, accommodation, fine dining and drinks during the three-day speaking event. The AAT members and staff will be flown from around Australia to the Novotel Twin Waters resort on the Sunshine Coast for the organisation’s biennial national conference. They will almost fill the 361-room resort, which has a private saltwater lagoon and is a walk away from the surf beach. This comes after it was revealed that the…
Watch Jordan B. Peterson on Bill Maher discussing political correctness and free speech
Professor Jordan B. Peterson and Bill Maher discuss the poison of political correctness and the necessary fight for free speech. Language warning. First of all it’s hard to make people safe because life is seriously not safe. The way that you make people resilient is by exposing them to the things that they’re afraid of and that make them uncomfortable, voluntarily, but you use exposure. So, if you over coddle people, if you protect them from everything that’s sharp, you make them dull and stupid and narcissistic, and it’s a really bad idea. You can watch the exchange in the…
Senate passes bill requiring LGBT history in public schools
The Illinois Senate recently passed a bill that would require public schools to teach lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history. The bill, which passed with a 34-18 vote, requires “all elementary and high schools to teach a unit studying the role and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the history of this country and this State.” The bill also states that textbooks used in public schools must be inclusive and “non-discriminatory.” Democratic Sen. Heather Steans told Fox News, teaching LGBT history in schools is important to “increase compassion and understanding as well as to provide historical role…
The ABC changes words to a classic children’s song because it encourages bear hunts
Grizzly bears right across Australia will sleep a little safer this winter after it was revealed the ABC have changed the words to the iconic children’s song, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. Presenters on the ABC’s children’s program, Play School, are no longer taking their young viewers on bear hunts, but rather “bush hunts.” The original lyric reads, We’re going on a bear hunt, we’re going to catch a big one, I’m not scared. In its place, the shows hosts are now singing, We’re going on a bush hunt, we’re going to find some treasure, we’re so excited. Well done, ABC. Well done.…
