Civil Days and Holy Days: ‘as Western society unravels at the seams, the celebration of days becomes more problematic, and indeed vacuous.’
It just so happens this year (2019) that Easter Sunday and Anzac Day fall near one another – on the 21 April and 25 April respectively. Given that the New Testament does not over-emphasise days (Gal.4:10-11), one is still meant, as an Australian, to appreciate Anzac Day in some kind of civil sense, and as a Christian, to recognise that Jesus Christ defeated death forever on Easter Sunday. However, one cannot help noticing that as Western society unravels at the seams, the celebration of days becomes more problematic, and indeed vacuous. In a secular society, Anzac Day – like Harmony…
The war against One Nation
Mainstream media are revelling like pigs in mud with the sensational headlines they get to write this week about One Nation. The big story is James Ashby and Steve Dickson flew to America to meet with lobbyists and were secretly recorded discussing potential policies and donations. Apparently, it’s business as normal when the major parties do it, but outrageous when One Nation does. Or is it only scandalous because the topic was every authoritarian’s favourite policy: government restrictions on law-abiding firearms owners; and the lobbyist was the NRA? Gun regulation is a darling of the leftist media complex internationally and…
Is there nothing worse than “racism”?
We need to have a sober conversation about the Coalition’s recommendations for their supporters on how to vote. Labor, The Greens, trade unions and most of mainstream media (apologies for repeating myself) are outspoken on their opinion that the party they’ve labelled as ‘racist’ should be put last by their own opponents. If anyone fails to see the self-serving agenda in this advice for classical liberals and conservatives from ‘progressive’ socialists, they are simply not looking. Firstly, if the Liberal-National Coalition fails to follow their advice, they get to virtue signal about the comfort given to ‘racists’. This may indeed…
Expect to see more politicians assaulted. We’re telling society crime no longer matters.
In the wake of the current political drama’s that our country is experiencing, I thought I would take the opportunity to remind people about some of the issues that have been brought to the surface. Let’s call it a ‘refresher course’ or ‘criminality for dummies’. Let’s dive straight into the Crimes Act 1900. Now, this piece of legislation has been around for a long time in our country (since 1900) and has generally governed the majority of indictable and serious indictable offences. One of the most basic offences within this Act is Common Assault which is defined under section 61.…
Islam and the Left
What do Islam and the ideological left have in common? The former reviles homosexuality, secularism and amorality. The latter embraces these whilst shunning theocracy and self-determination. It’s an unusual marriage, but one of convenience. Islam needs an enabler to raise its profile in the sympathetic West through the peaceful promotion of its less controversial side, and the left craves for power, hoping the odd marriage with Islam will bolster their voting base. The Christchurch massacre has been an opportunity for both Islam and the left to exploit the moral superiority they both claim over anyone with conservative values. The outrage…
The Lynching of Fraser Anning
Freedom of the press requires a societal framework that empowers free speech. So it’s rare to witness the Australian media unite together in order to tear down an Australian politician for speaking his mind. However, what most in the Australian media expressed to the world in their dealings with Fraser Anning this week, is that free speech is only available to a select, and authorized few. It would appear that Senator Fraser Anning’s biggest sin wasn’t his poorly timed press release, but the fact that he spoke out of turn about things that should not concern him. In other words,…
Has Prime Minister Scott Morrison just revealed his true colours?
Scott Morrison says an Australian man massacred worshippers in an act of “extremist right-wing terrorism” which was streamed on the internet. I am deeply troubled by the words employed by the Australian Prime Minister as it could incite violence against so-called right-wingers. As it turns out, it appears that the terrorist is not even a right-winger. He is a self-described anarchist and a radical environmentalist, and an admirer of Communist China. In his own manifesto the terrorist gunman who killed 49 Muslims at a mosque in New Zealand wanted “no part of” conservatism described himself as an “eco-fascist” admired Communist…
WATCH: Man hits Senator Fraser Anning with an egg, instantly regrets it. The Senator hits back!
A protester who filmed himself egging Senator Fraser Anning at an event in Melbourne today will likely be spending the rest of the afternoon icing a black eye. The incident, uploaded on social media by The Unshackled, shows the man slapping an egg with considerable force on the back of the Senator’s head. The Senator then turned and swiftly hit the man in the face, before bystanders tackled him to the ground. He was held there until police eventually led him away. Senator Fraser Anning has just been egged while speaking to the media in Melbourne. The young man who…
Western civilization is collapsing because ‘we’ve collectively killed God. We’re left with nothing authentic to believe in.’
Western civilization is collapsing because we’ve collectively killed God, destroyed the family unit, and have left ourselves with nothing authentic to believe in, according to Paul Joseph Watson. In his latest video, Watson warns: “Great civilizations collapse when the building block of society, the family unit, crumbles into dust. We’re now reaching this point. “While Muslims in the West unite to rally around protection of their children, we treat ours like an unwanted medical waste product. “While Muslims in the West refuse to allow their kids to be indoctrinated with warped sexual propaganda, we dress up ours as drag queens,…
Elections aren’t merely about political issues, they’re about theological and moral issues.
As we are heading for two elections in the coming months, it may be a very good time to reflect on who we truly are. If we recall the prayer of Jesus for His disciples in John 17:16 – “They are not of the world, even as I am not of it”. This should serve us all as a timely reminder that we are but visitors here and yet we are called to be His witness for as long as we are here. Paul also speaks to how we are to live here in Romans 13:1 when he writes: “Let…
The single most important election issue
The Australian Labor Party this week announced a new campaign policy: their intention to make abortion on demand legal and free across Australia. With this single policy they have made it impossible for any authentic Christian to vote for them, much less stay silent on the sidelines of this impending federal election. Labor outlined plans to build a new abortion facility in Tasmania, the only state without one. They also heralded their intention to change the state law in NSW, completely dismissing the rights of the residents of that sovereign state to make their own decisions about state laws, but…
Violent Antifa-style riots pay off: Government BANS Milo from returning to Australia
The Sydney Morning Herald reports: The Morrison government has banned right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos from entering Australia in a fresh crackdown likely to infuriate his conservative supporters but please critics who believe he is anti-Semitic. The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age can reveal the controversial speaker was told this week his visa application had been rejected and he cannot enter Australia. Read the full story.
Customer orders Christian t-shirt, Vistaprint CHANGES the design to say: “Gay and Proud”
As you walk through the city streets it isn’t uncommon to see people wearing a variety of shirts that seek to promote their particular cause or brand; perhaps it is a shirt advertising a political party, a charitable cause, or a religious belief. We live in a society that allows us the freedom to wear what we want (as long as it is decent) and to promote views that we hold dear. Operation 513, a Christian ministry based in Brisbane, but with outreaches throughout Australia, UK and New Zealand, recently produced a t-shirt that sought to promote the Christian message…
Labor to offer ‘free’ abortions if elected, hospitals required to provide abortions as part of their funding agreement
Women will secure access to ‘free’ surgical abortions in public hospitals if Labor is elected at the next election. Deputy Labor leader Tanya Plibersek is set to announce a major overhaul of Medicare which will also require public hospitals to consistently offer abortion services as part of their funding agreement. Last year Plibersek lamented the fact that presently Australian women cannot kill their unborn babies with equal convenience. “Every Australian should have access to the health services they need,” she said. “Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures that Australian women will experience in their lives.” But due…
World Naked Bike Ride to hit Melbourne, CHILDREN encouraged to join this ‘family-friendly’, ‘all ages’ event.
On March 16 the World Naked Bike Ride is set to hit Melbourne for the 14th year in a row. The event started off in 2006 with only 14 riders, however over recent years, hundreds of people have shown up to strip off and participate in the event. According to one of the organisers, the idea behind the naked ride is to highlight blinding and vulnerability issues, protest car culture, and promote positive body image. A statement on the event’s website explains: “Through our naked and highly visible presence on the streets of Melbourne, we aim to: Highlight the vulnerability…
The ABC tells children: LGBTQ Mardi Gras is a family-friendly celebration that’s also ‘naughty’ and ‘an act of resistance’.
The ABC continues to paint the LGBTQ Mardi Gras as a family-friendly event. This year they recycled a program on the kid’s channel called Mardi Gras + Me. The show, featuring Playschool host Zindzi Okenyo, follows a group of children as they prepare to march in the Sydney parade. Activist Julie McCrossin makes an appearance, to tell the children what Mardi Gras is all about. According to McCrossin, “Mardi Gras is welcoming, naughty, and multicultural in every sense of the word.” Benjamin Law, who said he sometimes finds himself wondering if he would hate-f–k all the MPs in parliament who opposed…
Greens push for extreme abortion law reform in South Australia. Let’s push back!
The Australian Family Coalition has warned, the Greens are seeking to push radical new abortion laws through the South Australian Parliament. “These laws are arguably the most extreme in Australia – and amongst the worst in the world,” AFC said. “The Statutes Amendment (Abortion Law Reform) Bill, introduced by Greens MLC Tammy Franks shortly before Christmas, has been spruiked as ‘progressive’ and promoting a ‘healthy choice’ – but the stark reality is otherwise.” AFC went on to warn that if passed, the law would: Allow abortion up to birth, for any reason or none; Permit sex-selective abortions; Remove the need for…
Can Ita Buttrose reform the $1billion taxpayer behemoth that is the state-owned ABC?
This week, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that well known, and trusted, Australian media royalty, Ita Buttrose, would be taking on the chair of the Australian Broadcasting Company (The ABC). Her appointment to the chair provides hope for many of Australia’s taxpayers who want to see a return to a fairer, more representative ABC; one that represents Australia, Australian culture, and Australians. In other words, having a National broadcaster, that upholds a healthy Australian nationalism. Buttrose’s statements during the press conference point in this direction. [The ABC] is a voice of the Australian people. I think it reflects our identity,…
ABC’s Q&A and Labor Senator says: Catholicism is more harmful than Islam.
Over the weekend the ABC’s Q&A asked their Twitter followers if Catholicism had done more harm to Australia than Islam. Attached to the question was an article from The Guardian with the implied answer. The piece, written by Labor’s Kristina Keneally, and published back in February 2017, was titled: “Catholicism has done more harm to Australia than Islam.” At the time, Keneally wrote in defence of the ABC’s Yasmin Abdel-Magied after she was criticised following an appearance on Q&A in which she claimed that Islam was the most feminist religion. Has Catholicism done more harm to Australia than Islam? via…
Google encourages businesses to publicly list themselves “LGBTQ-friendly”, tells customers to find places that celebrate the LGBTQ lifestyle.
Google has introduced a new “LGBTQ-friendly” business attribute to encourage customers to “find the people and places that celebrate” the LGBTQ lifestyle. The tech giant is also urging businesses to “be an ally” by publicly listing themselves under the rainbow flag as “LGBTQ-friendly” and “safe spaces” for transgender people. More bizarre than that, Google went on to claim that LGBTQ+ people have had difficulty finding businesses willing to serve them in Australia. “While marriage equality has been legal in Australia for over a year, finding businesses that are open to everyone hasn’t always been easy for members of the LGBTQ+…
