The Stark Contrast Between Joshua Harris and Alice Cooper
American author and Pastor, Greg Laurie’s interview with Alice Cooper is an insightful look into Christian life outside a cloistered Christian culture. The interview was uploaded to YouTube on the 18th of August. Cooper calls himself a prodigal son and gives some background on his life, including his abuse of cocaine, alcoholism, his 43-year-old marriage, the Church and his return to Christ. Though unrelated, the interview presents a stark contrast between Alice Cooper and bestselling ‘Christian’ author, Joshua Harris. I related to it because I came to Christ through the broken, dark alleys of life. I found home through darkened lyrics,…
Jailed: Asylum seeker kidnaps, sexually assaults 3-year-old girl, then criticizes the girl’s mother for not looking after her better
An Iraqi asylum seeker has been jailed for at least two-and-a-half years after he kidnapped and assaulted a three-year-old girl at a Sydney shopping centre a week before Christmas in 2016. Mohammad Hassan Al Bayati was working as a security guard at DFO Homebush when he entered the instore playground and took the little girl by the hand. Al Bayati then walked her down a fire exit to an area that was not under surveillance. According to 7 News: “A NSW District Court jury found Al Bayati exposed his penis and touched the girl’s underwear during 11 minutes away from…
Triggered: Woman shoves Avi Yemini, accuses him of assaulting her by asking a question
A woman has shoved Avi Yemini and accused him of assaulting her after he asked her a question during a free Hong Kong rally in Melbourne’s CBD. Yemini was present to report on the Sunday rally, which was hosted by the local Tibetan community. According to Yemini, towards the end of the event, a group of radical leftists set up a pro-refugee stand right in front of the rally. Yemini approached two members of the group and asked them if they support the Tibetans, to which they promptly responded: “F–k off, you racist.” “Leave us alone. You’re actually assaulting us,” one…
The denial of reality is at the core of Transgenderism and the LGBT religion
Researcher for the Australian Christian Lobby, Dr Elisabeth Taylor, dazzles in her presentation on two vacuous ideologies seeking, not just to influence Western society, but rip up its biblical Christian foundations, and impose new cultural laws on it. Such as the eradication of what theorists within the LGBT religion label “heteronormativity”. The assumption being that heteronormativity is oppressive to the LGBT community. Ergo, all-out war, short of physical violence, must be made against it. The presentation clarifies and provides information about transgenderism. Taylor digs deep, discussing the theory’s origins and why it’s necessary to push back against it. In doing…
“No dignity, no justice in it”: Nurse shattered after finding baby left to die following failed abortion, mother left inconsolable
In the early ’90s, Caren, an agency nurse in Sydney, Australia, came across a baby boy who was left alone to die next to a hospital clinical waste bin. The baby was born alive and left in a cold stainless steel kidney dish for about two hours after his mother decided to abort him at 20-weeks. “I didn’t know what to do,” Caren said. “Because this was an abortion and you’re not allowed to intervene, I just did not know what to do. But there was nobody treating that baby. That baby was breathing and yet I couldn’t go and…
Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics
I recently went to see my local member who also happens to be the NSW Opposition Leader, Jodi McKay, about the now notorious ‘Reproductive Rights Bill’ which she had so jubilantly spoken in favour of in the Lower House. And she very kindly gave me a copy of her speech in which she made the oft-repeated assertion: Between 20 and 25 per cent of women in Australia will have an abortion in their lifetime. Seeing that Ms McKay is a former lobbyist for Family Planning NSW—and is still the ‘phone voice’ you hear when you call—I initially took the accuracy…
Mark Latham’s Churchillian Moment: “Gladys Has Betrayed NSW”
In a speech on Tuesday night, One Nation MP, Mark Latham, joined a growing chorus of opposition voicing their concerns over the poor process applied to the recent NSW abortion bill. Latham joins Liberal MP Natasha Maclaren-Jones, the National Party’s, Barnaby Joyce and Dr David Gillespie, in criticising the rushed bill, deceptively called ‘The Reproductive Health Care Reform Bill’. The abortion bill passed the lower house (legislative assembly) by 59 to 31 on August 9. The MP responsible for introducing the bill was “Independent” member for Sydney, Alex Greenwich, whose candidacy (for context) was backed by Leftist golden girl, and…
It’s Time to Protect Our Journalists
At the Parliamentary Press Freedom inquiry on the 14th of this month, Australian Federal Police commissioner Andrew Colvin refused to rule out the possibility of charging Walkley-Award winning NewsCorp Journalist Annika Smethurst for publishing leaked Intelligence documents in April last year. Colvin’s refusal comes despite a directive from Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton on August 9th: I expect the AFP to take into account the importance of a free and open press… before undertaking investigative action involving a professional journalist or news media organisation in relation to unauthorised disclosure of material… Smethurst’s reports included a proposal by Home Affairs Secretary Mike Pezzullo to give…
WATCH: THOUSANDS of Australians rally in Sydney to defend the unborn
Thousands of Australians gathered at Martin Place in Sydney on Tuesday evening to take a stand for the unborn and ‘be a voice for the voiceless’. The ‘Stand for Life‘ rally was organised in response to the Reproductive Healthcare Reform Bill 2019, which last week passed the lower house 59 to 31. The bill will essentially throw open the doors to late-term abortion, on-demand, by any method, no matter how abhorrent, up to 22 weeks. Beyond that point, right up until birth, all that is required for an abortion is the consent of two abortion doctors. It’s estimated that at…
The looming leadership crisis in the NSW Liberal Party
Just weeks away from what’s sure to be a roiling State Council meeting, the realisation is dawning that Gladys Berejiklian is not the party leader Liberals are looking for. Anger is also growing, especially amongst socially conservative members, with the feeling they were deceived into helping her get elected only to implement radically ‘progressive’ policies much of the party opposes. It was not the leadership of Gladys Berejiklian which remarkably wrested likely government from the New South Wales Labor Party at that election. Far more significant was a simple question from Senator Eric Abetz which resulted in the resignation of Labor Leader,…
The Most Impact Awards, Bledisloe Cup 2019
It has been decreed from on high that these awards are no longer to be called the ‘best and fairest awards’ but the ‘those who made the most impact awards’. Now that the Bledisloe Cup for 2019 has been decided, the winners can be congratulated, in terms of their contribution to the All Black victory: 1. Three points to Raelene Castle. Her contribution to the All Black victory was invaluable. Having left Bulldogs in her wake, she now leaves Wallabies in the same condition. At times her profession and her accent seemed to indicate a divided loyalty but when the…
Director of Australia’s largest abortion provider says banning sex selection abortion discriminates against multicultural communities
Along with concerns around late-term abortion, the general public are greatly concerned by the issue of sex-selection abortion. While the NSW Legislative Assembly rejected an amendment to ban sex-selection abortions, they included in their draft Bill, a statement of disapproval of the practise. Many abortion advocates are strenuously denying that sex-selection abortion occurs in Australia, yet there is both anecdotal and research evidence that it does. Phillip Goldstone, Director of Marie Stopes, one of Australian’s largest abortion providers, in his submission to the Inquiring Committee, says: We do not support the inclusion of gender selection in the Bill and we…
WATCH: Reporter stunned as top abortionist admits he has no problem killing ‘babies’
A top US abortionist has left a BBC reporter lost for words after admitting he has no problem killing “babies.” Life Site News shared a short portion of the interview between reporter Hilary Andersson and abortionist LeRoy Carhart, which was filmed at a Maryland abortion clinic in July for a thirty-minute segment titled America’s Abortion War. During the interview, Ms Andersson asked Carhart how late in the pregnancy he would perform an abortion. Carhart refused to respond on camera, but then left Ms Andersson visibly stunned by saying: “To the fetus, it makes no difference if it’s born or not…
WATCH: Man shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ stabs multiple people in Sydney CBD
Multiple people in Sydney’s CBD have reportedly been stabbed by a man shouting “Allahu Akbar”. Footage uploaded to social media shows the attacker with a large blade standing on top of a car shouting “Allahu Akbar” as members of the public flee. The knifeman, covered in blood, was eventually subdued by bystanders who pinned him to the ground until police arrived. “He just stabbed a chick in broad daylight,” a shocked witness at the scene said. Police are advising the public to avoid King Street and Clarence Street, Sydney CBD. WATCH: Just witnessed incredible bravery from members of the public…
Pro-abortion laws remove safeguards against the abuses of a totalitarian state: Why anti-abortion laws matter
In her 1981 magnum opus, ‘Public Man, Private Woman’, American political scientist and Lutheran, Jean Bethke Elshtain presented a painstaking analysis of feminism. Her work as a political theorist is one of the best all-rounded academic introductions to the origins and branches of feminism, which comes from within the feminist movement. Elshtain is best described as a classical feminist. Although she accepts certain criticisms made by feminists, Elshtain is honest about the fact that feminism can, and does go too far. Her chief aim was to present the ideological nuances and obvious contrasts of each branch of feminism. What makes…
NSW Treasurer delivers powerful defence of the unborn: “Human rights don’t depend on the feelings of other people”
The Treasurer of New South Wales delivered a powerful speech last week in response to the Reproductive Healthcare Reform Bill 2019. The bill, which passed the lower house 59 to 31, would essentially throw open the doors to late-term abortion, on-demand, by any method, no matter how abhorrent, up to 22 weeks, as Dr David Van Gend pointed out. Beyond that point, right up until birth, all that is required is the consent of two abortion doctors. In his speech, Dominic Perrottet MP pointed out that the worst parts of our history have come from a refusal to recognise the…
Cricket Australia to allow biological males to compete in women’s cricket
Cricket Australia on Thursday announced a new policy that would allow transgender athletes to participate in the competition that aligns with their gender identity. The Elite Cricket Policy and Guidelines, which will ensure transgender and gender-diverse cricketers can play the game at the highest level in Australia, will allow biological males who identify as females to compete in women’s only competitions. Kevin Roberts, CEO of Cricket Australia, said there is no place in sport for discrimination of any kind. “It doesn’t make any sense that today, people are discriminated against, harassed or excluded, because of who they are. And that’s…
Make pro-abortion politicians as rare as pro-slavery politicians
It’s my fault killing babies is legal in Australia. I am responsible for the fact abortion on demand has been legally available for so long in Australia, and I’m sorry. The first Australian liberal abortion legislation was passed in the South Australian Parliament in 1969. Attorney General Robin Millhouse was the architect of the radical abortion laws. Forty-five years later he admitted great regret for laws which were [predictably destined to be] interpreted too widely resulting in abortion on demand. That legislation received the assent of the Governor and came into effect on January 8, 1970. However, the first legalisation…
Where has Gladys Gone?
I can’t think of a more pathetic display of non-leadership than that of Premier Gladys Berejiklian and her Deputy John Barilaro regarding the ‘Reproductive Rights Bill’ currently before the NSW Parliament. In fact, it’s nothing other than total political cowardice because neither person is going to speak in the debate even though they have both indicated that they will be voting for the Bill. As Linda Silmalis, the Chief Political Reporter for The Sunday Telegraph tweeted: The Premier choosing not to speak and now co-sponsors of the Abortion Bill plan to move amendments…what a mess #abortion #NSWpol — Linda Silmalis…
Kristina Keneally now wrong on Kassam, guns and free speech
It’s said that bias isn’t what you put in, it’s what you choose to leave out. Kristina Keneally has demonstrated at best a factual ignorance, and at worst, a deliberate attempt to use US tragedy’s as a means to score political points. In the past week, two mass-shootings, one in Dayton Ohio, the other in El-Paso Texas, rocked the United States. The Labor Senator and Home Affairs spokeswoman in a Sydney Morning Herald op-ed titled, We can’t bury our heads when it comes to right-wing extremism wrote: On Sunday a wave of sadness consumed me as I saw Dayton, Ohio…
