A woman from Portland, Oregon has said she felt “invaded” after receiving a disturbing phone call from one of her husband’s employee’s. “Unplug your Alexa devices right now,” he said. “You’re being hacked.” In an “unlikely string of events” the couple’s Amazon Echo recorded a private conversation and sent the audio to the man without their knowledge. “I felt invaded,” the woman said. “A total privacy invasion. Immediately I said, ‘I’m never plugging that device in again, because I can’t trust it.” Amazon confirmed the private conversation had been inadvertently recorded and sent to a contact. According to a statement…

A high school in New Jersey will now accept everyone onto the cheerleading squad in an attempt to be more “inclusive.” The decision from Hanover Park High School staff came after a parent complained because her daughter failed to make the cut during tryouts. In a letter from the superintendent, students and parents were informed that the high school administration decided to “be more inclusive and not penalize any student” from making the squad that did not achieve the necessary score. Cheerleaders who had trained hard to earn their position were naturally upset by the decision. “I did not put in 18…

This is what happens when you don’t punish criminals. No punishment, no deterrent. Paramedics in Victoria have been given a list of more than 200 ‘no-go zones’ to keep them safe from potential attackers. This comes after two women were spared jail time for violently assaulting a 63-year-old paramedic. Judge Cotterell told the court, “imposing the [minimum] sentence at this stage would achieve little.” When the guilty are spared, the innocent will suffer. Watch:

A pastor in Cape Town has been sentence to 30 days in prison after disregarding court orders barring him from preaching about homosexuality. After making ‘hateful’ remarks in 2014, Rev Oscar Bougardt reached a settlement with the Human Rights Commission, agreeing not to make any further negative comments about the LGBTQ community. I may enter the court room and not come home to my family – my crime, preaching the Bible. However, last week the Equality Court found Bougardt continued to refer to homosexuality as ‘perverted.’ Bougardt also advocated the criminalisation of homosexual practices, reportedly suggesting a 14-year prison term,…

Andrew Bolt has told Richard Dawkins to ‘bugger off,’ after the renowned atheist sent a long list of absurd demands less than 2-hours before his appearance on The Bolt Report. Bolt explains: I invited him, he accepted. All good. Except 2-hours ago – less than – we started to get the first of a very long series of demands, restrictions on what we could actually talk about… ‘Don’t mention Islam specifically,’ Dawkins said. ‘I shall not appear if Islam is mentioned specifically’… Another demand, ‘don’t distinguish between Christianity and Islam’… ‘I shall not do so.’

Councils across Victoria are set to review educational resources to ensure stories and experiences go beyond ‘gender stereotypical narratives,’ the Herald Sun revealed. The move follows a study by the Australian National University which suggested, educators should avoid classifying children according to gender, like ‘boy’ and ‘girl.’ Researchers found, ‘prejudice along race and gender lines can be observed’ in children as young as three-years-old. According to the study, girls who played with ‘feminised characters’, such as Barbie, had fewer career options. It was also revealed that girls who played with Disney princess toys and boys who watched superhero shows were…

After it was brought to our attention that a Dymocks Bookstore was recommending transgender material to children, a number of negative reviews were left on the store’s official Facebook page. The reviews suggested that the store should not be promoting such material to children, given the fact that Australia’s Telethon Kids Institute has revealed close to 80% of trans youth had self-harmed, while almost 50% have attempted suicide. The store responded, suggesting these figures were due to lack of support in the children’s lives. It was then pointed out that even if that were the case, the store does not…

Rev Dr Gavin Ashenden, former Honorary Chaplain to the Queen, has responded to Michael Curry’s widely-praised Royal Wedding sermon. Dr Ashenden writes: The world is rightly talking about Michael Curry’s wedding sermon. It was a ‘tour-de-force’. He is very good at preaching. But it also offers us all an insight into the dramatic difference between the two kind of Christianity that are at odds with each other in the Anglican Communion. We will call them for the moment, ‘Christianity-max’, and ‘Christianity-lite’. Credit where it is due. ‘Christianity-lite’ can be very appealing. It reaches out to where people are hurting and…

We told you it was about more than marriage. Christians who claim that homosexuality can be “fixed” could soon find themselves being prosecuted as the Victorian government orders an unprecedented inquiry into gay conversion therapy. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the inquiry will capture registered or unregistered counsellors, as well as faith-based ministries, who treat homosexuality as a disorder, along with anyone purporting to convert LGBTI people through therapeutic means. Health Minister Jill Hennessy, who asked Victoria’s Health Complaints Commissioner to conduct the investigation, told The Age: We have zero tolerance for anyone purporting to ‘convert’ gay people through…

Childish Gambino’s, This Is America, has managed to rack up over 130 million views in less than two weeks. Despite containing scenes depicting violent mass shootings and executions, the music video falls within the bounds of Youtube’s ever changing community standards. Unlike Paul Joseph Watson’s commentary on the video, which Youtube censored not long after it was published. Youtube initially marked Watson’s video as, “inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.” However, following online backlash Youtube restored Watson’s video. “It would be an awful shame if the video now went viral,” Watson said.

Belal Hajeid, member of the Skaf rape gang, served over 14 years in prison following attacks on two teenage girls in 2000. In June 2002, Hajeid was sentenced for 10 offenses in relation to the attacks and was released on parole in 2016. Hajeid was ordered to pay his victim $100,000 in compensation, but a tribunal later dropped that figure to $6,000. Channel 9’s A Current Affair tracked down Hajeid, now a council worker, and asked if he would apologise to the woman he raped. “Mate, what am I sorry about?” Hajeid replied. “I’ve done my time.” You can watch the full…

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.

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…
