Israel Folau found GUILTY of “high-level breach” of Rugby Australia’s code of conduct after citing a Bible verse
Israel Folau has been found guilty of a “high-level breach” of Rugby Australia’s code of conduct after posting a graphic on his Instagram account paraphrasing 1 Corinthians 6:9. The three-day Code of Conduct hearing wrapped up in Sydney today, although the three-person panel presiding over the hearing is yet to consider Folau’s punishment for his public display of Christianity. According to a statement from Rugby Australia: “The panel has today provided a judgment that Israel Folau committed a high-level breach of the Professional Players’ Code of Conduct with his social media posts on April 10, 2019. “The panel will now…
Scott Morrison egged by a female activist at campaign event. Is this becoming a trend?
Prime Minister, Scott Morrison has been physically attacked by a female activist at a campaign event in Albany, (Vic.). A 25-year-old woman allegedly threw an egg at the Prime Minister’s head, which according to the ABC, did not break on impact. The ABC also reported that Morrison’s assailant, armed with a “carton of eggs was dragged away by security and was now in police custody”. In the process an elderly woman was knocked off her feet, prompting the Prime Minister to go to her aid. Morrison later said on Twitter, “My concern about today’s incident in Albury was for the…
Christians who express a biblical view of sexuality are to blame for kids committing suicide, Channel 9 panelist suggests
A former rugby league player has suggested that Christians, like Israel Folau, who express a biblical view of sexuality “can and do” push kids to commit suicide. Ian Roberts, an openly gay former rugby league player, appeared as a guest panelist on Channel Nine’s Sports Sunday, where he condemned Folau for posting a paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 6:9 on his personal Instagram account. “I do feel sorry for Israel, but there are consequences for your actions and reactions, you know,” Roberts said. “And I don’t say this lightly, what I’m about to say, the language I use is hard and it’s for…
Working out your senate vote in SA
The senate ballot paper can be daunting. This year, in SA, there are forty-two candidates, most of whose names you have never heard of before. Six of them will end up sitting in the Senate, deciding Australian Legislation for the next six years. That’s an important job, so we should look closely and think about who we will vote for. This article is, hopefully, a good starting point to work out how you will vote if you happen to be a South Australian. I’m going to introduce all the parties/candidates and the basic propositions that they represent. I’ve grouped them…
Pacific Island rugby players take a stand for their faith: “Might as well sack us all… we have the same Christian beliefs”
Australian rugby star Samu Kerevi has said he will not apologise for his Christian faith after a number of fans questioned him for posting an Easter message which said, “I love you, Jesus.” Kerevi, captain of the Queensland Reds, shared the message on his personal Instagram account which read: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.” “Thank You Jesus for dying on the cross for me. I love you Jesus,” he added. Some fans criticised Kerevi’s message, suggesting he should…
Journalist planned to lure Christians to his house and BEHEAD them in his front yard as payback for the Christchurch massacre
A Canberra-based journalist has been arrested and charged after threatening to carry out beheadings of Christians in reprisal for the Christchurch massacre. James Michael Waugh, 28, was arrested at his home in Canberra’s south earlier this month following a tip-off to the National Security Hotline. The former Queanbeyan Age journalist was charged with threatening to act with intent to cause public harm, using a carriage service to menace others and possessing a weapon to be used to kill, ABC News reported. According to prosecutor Rae-ann Khazam, Waugh spoke to a doctor while in custody and told them of his intention…
Panahi: “Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world. Sadly, many of its leaders are too weak to acknowledge the threat posed by Islamist extremism”
Sky News’ Rita Panahi has drawn attention to the harrowing plight of Christians who continue to suffer at the hands of Islamist forces in the Middle East and Africa. “It’s been called ethnic cleansing,” Panahi said. “But religious genocide would be more accurate.” “The plight of Christians in parts of Africa is harrowing, with regular reports of violence in Nigeria, Eritrea, the Congo, Central African Republic, Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, and a number of other countries.” “Where is the pope, one wonders, as thousands of his followers are driven out of their homes, abused or killed for merely observing…
Victorian council to replace Australian flag with LGBTQ+ rainbow flag.
A council in Victoria have voted to remove the Australian flag from their iconic town clock tower and replace it with a gay pride rainbow flag. According to 3AW, Macedone Shire Council voted to change the flag on Woodend clock tower next month as part of the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia. The council is also reportedly set to replace the Torres Strait Islander flag with the symbol of LGBTQ+ pride at council offices in Gisbourne and Kyneton. 3AW’s Tom Elliot called the move a terrible decision, saying “You don’t take down the flag that unites all…
Sri Lankan suicide bomber was radicalised in Australia, family claim.
The family of one of the men responsible for the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka have claimed he was radicalised during his time in Australia. Samsul Hidaya, sister of Abdul Latheif Jameel Mohamed, one of nine suicide bombers responsible for the attacks which killed hundreds of Christians, told the Daily Mail, her brother changed after his five years of study in Australia. “He had a long beard and had lost his sense of humour. He became serious and withdrawn and would not even smile at anyone he didn’t know, let alone laugh,” she said. Hidaya went on to…
WATCH: Pedophilia now taught as a “sexual orientation” in public schools. “This is really important for us to include,” school officials tell outraged parents.
Government school officials in California have horrified concerned parents after admitting to teaching students that pedophilia and pederasty is a “sexual orientation.” Stephanie Yates, founder of Informed Parents of California, confronted school officials during a parent-information meeting last month for the Brea Olinda Unified School District. “Answer me why you’re teaching pedophilia in school to 9th graders,” Yates asked Assistant Superintendent of Curricula, Kerrie Torres. Torres did not deny the claim but responded to Yates by saying, “this is really important for us to include.” “This is done because we’re talking about historical perspectives of how gender relations and different…
Freedom of Religion and Belief in the 21st Century: A Christian Response
There are good reasons for rejecting the diagnosis that the problem with religion is that it discriminates, and the proposed cure that it not be allowed to discriminate any longer. 1. The whole approach is putting Australian law on a radically different basis. Christianity teaches its followers to think in terms of right and wrong, but the Australian Human Rights Commission, naturally, thinks in terms of rights. In Christianity, it is a sin to bow down to idols, to murder, to commit adultery, to steal, to be covetous or proud, and so on. The basic law is summarised in the…
WATCH: Comedy Central accused of “colluding” with the FBI, links revealed
Avi Yemini has shared a video on social media accusing Comedy Central’s parent company, Viacom, of “colluding” with the FBI in order to prevent him from entering the United States. Yemini travelled to the States in pursuit of a follow-up story after he exposed Comedy Central’s Jim Jefferies “shocking editorial standards and bias.” On arrival in LAX Yemini was detained and questioned by the FBI before being deported back to Australia. TR.News has since revealed links between Viacom and the FBI, and accused the media giant of using the government agency to ban Yemini from entering the country. “The information…
Trump Derangement Syndrome defined: CNN attacks President Trump for a typo in his condolence message to victims in Sri Lanka
CNN’s Brian Stelter has attacked President Donald Trump for a typo in a condolence message the President tweeted to the victims of Sunday’s terrorist attack in Sri Lanka. The President’s tweet, which has since been deleted, unintentionally included the word “million”, saying the terrorist attack “killed at least 138 million people…” Stelter suggested it’s not “just a typo”, because “accuracy matters”. “If someone can’t get the little stuff right, it makes you wonder about the big stuff. It makes you worry about the big stuff,” Stelter went on to say. “In this case, it makes you wonder about the President’s…
A Message to Brian Houston: The World Doesn’t Need More Watered-Down Christians
This week Brian Houston, founder of Hillsong, penned an open letter to Israel Folau criticising the rugby star’s “judgmental” approach to sharing the gospel on social media. Brian then sent the letter to the Sydney Morning Herald who published it under the title: A message to Folau: The world doesn’t need more judgmental Christians. The piece divided opinions, and many, including some of Brian’s own supporters, expressed disappointment in his decision to distance himself from Folau. But that’s not the most concerning aspect of Brian’s letter. Brian doesn’t just take issue with Folau’s approach, he quickly turns his attention to…
The Message of Israel Folau, Notre Dame and Good Friday
It’s wonderful news that all of a sudden Rugby Union Australia believe in God, Heaven and Hell. Many of us had been under the distinct impression they were largely indifferent to Christian theology and doctrine. All that was cleared up marvellously though when they judged the record try scorer of all time, Israel Folau, to be more immoral than the philandering, drunken cokeheads which litter the various Australian football codes. His unconscionable crime was that of claiming to know of an objective standard by which Scripture warns all men are measured, a standard accepted and preached for centuries, if not…
It would be a fatal mistake to reject The Ramsay Centre
My name is Aidan Green. I am a journalist and a proud alumnus of the University of Wollongong with a Bachelor of International Studies. Upon arrival to my degree, I was like everybody else, young, naive and left-wing. It is true what they say about the humanities faculties being taken over by the left. Throughout my three-year degree, I met only one politics lecturer who didn’t make it clear that they were left of centre. It was not until my second year where I began to think more critically and objectively, and it was not until my second year when…
The hatred and maliciousness shoved in Folau’s face exemplifies the truth behind the quote he posted
The LGBT community’s grievances and the reason for their sensitivity regarding the Israel Folau controversy are understandable. A non-biblical version of sin has been misused over the years to beat people down, not bring them to faith and repentance. (See Psychiatrist, Karl Menninger’s ‘Whatever Became of Sin?’, 1976) That historical misuse, however, doesn’t justify the unjust writhing and screaming being thrown towards Folau. None of this justifies dehumanizing a man and taking away his bread and butter. None of this justifies any corporation such as Qantas, bullying, via economic sanctions, companies they do business with, such as Rugby Australia. As…
The attacks on Israel Folau come from an ignorance of history. Such ignorance invites tyranny.
In August 1939, the Soviets signed a non-aggression treaty with the Nazis. This treaty was called the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and it allowed the Soviets room to explore Stalin’s expansionist policies. Largely hidden behind the grotesque Abyss of National Socialism’s dark reach for Europe in 1940, Stalin’s Communist forces moved into Poland and Finland. The Soviet offensive against Poland began in September, 1939; the offensive against Finland (known as The Winter War) began in November. Unlike, Poland, Finland had the benefit of only fighting a war on one front. ‘The Winter War’ ended five months later. Finland lost some territory, but…
WATCH: Avi Yemini and Sydney Watson explain what happened when they were detained and questioned by the FBI
Avi Yemini and Sydney Watson have shared videos on social media explaining what happened when they were detained and questioned by U.S. border authorities and the FBI. Both Yemini and Watson were stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and interrogated by the FBI last week after arriving at LAX. The pair were in the country to follow-up on a fake-news release by Comedy Central which smeared Yemini after the New Zealand massacre. Authorities later deported Yemini back to Australia. WATCH:
Cambridge barrister warned: change the marriage laws and people will lose their jobs for quoting a Bible verse
Two years ago, Cambridge barrister Paul Dimond offered a blunt, near-prophetic warning that Christians will be targeted if marriage laws were to change in Australia. “It’s perfectly possible to create a society of same-sex rights and privacy rights for homosexuals and freedom of religion rights for Christians,” Diamond said. “In fact, that would be a truly diverse and free society. That is not the experience in the United Kingdom. “You do lose your job, you will suffer educational detriment, you will be vilified, for doing no more than reading a Bible verse expressing traditional views. And it’s so abusive in…
