It’s not just the economy that faces collapse as a result of government action. It’s also Australian families.
The coronavirus pandemic reached Australia in January 2020. After three months of the epidemic in the country, the death toll has just risen to 18 after another elderly person, aged in her 80s, acquired the virus overseas a couple of weeks ago and died during the weekend at a Canberra Hospital. In Victoria, three people in their 70s died in March after being diagnosed with Covid-19. The death of a fourth man, in his 80s, was reported on 29 March. In the ACT a woman in her 80s became the territory’s first fatality on 30 March. In Tasmania, the first death has just…
COVID-19 and Communism
If COVID-19 has taught us anything it’s that the Chinese government cannot be trusted. Please note that I said communist regime and not people. My statement is not motivated by some kind of latent anti-Asian racism. Instead, my aim is directly targeted against the Chinese Communist Party who must accept at least part of the blame and responsibility for the current global pandemic. Back in 2007 a report in the Clinical Microbiology Review concluded (emphasis mine) that: The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern…
Italy and #CoronaRacism
The health situation in Italy is dire. Tragically, over 8,000 people have died and around 80,000 people have caught COVID-19 giving it the second highest number of cases outside of China. The question is, what caused this to be the case? Back in February, Dr Jing Zeng wrote in The Guardian that there was no link whatsoever between COVID-19 and The People’s Republic of China. And those who dared to suggest that there was were guilty of #CoronaRacism. As such, many in the mainstream media have followed the explanation of Matt Simon in Wired, who argued that there was no…
Are oppressive totalitarian measures necessary in order to fight against coronavirus?
There’s a thin line between governments waging a war against a crisis, and governments waging a war against people caught up in that crisis. It’s the crossing of this line; the potential, and perhaps eventual, overreaction through disproportionate measures, that have sparked an increasing number of centrist and conservative thinkers to question these heavy-handed measures, along with anything, and everything, labelled “the new normal”. The more we learn about the coronavirus, the more important it is to question whether the heavy-handed measures being taken against the coronavirus are proportionate to the fight against it. Peter Hitchens was the first to…
Putin proposes constitutional amendments affirming God and traditional marriage
Russian President, Vladimir Putin proposed a series of constitutional amendments on Monday to affirm God and traditional marriage. The president, who last month vowed to defend traditional family values for as long as he’s in the Kremlin, first proposed amending the constitution in January during a state-of-the-nation speech, claiming it was necessary to bolster democracy. The amendments would see God enshrined in Russia’s constitution, as well as a definition of marriage as the union of man and woman. As it currently sits, the constitution makes no mention of God or marriage as an institution. However, Putin’s opponents have suggested the…
Police who “thought checked” a man for posting “transphobic” tweets acted unlawfully, High Court rules
Police officers who “thought checked” a man accused of posting “transphobic” tweets acted unlawfully, the UK High Court has ruled. In January last year, Humberside Police tracked Harry Miller, of Lincolnshire, to his place of work after acquiring several posts suggesting ‘transgender women are not real women.’ Police reportedly told Miller, a former police officer himself, that an anonymous person had reported him for ‘hate speech’, saying his workplace would not be a “safe place” for transgender people. Despite being told that he had committed no crime, the officers told Miller, “I need to check your thinking.” After being subjected…
George Soros’ Bizarre Anti-Trump Fiat: Calls for Mutiny at Facebook After Accusing Zuckerberg of Being in League with Trump
George Soros sent in a brief letter to the Financial Times, calling for the removal of Facebook’s CEO and COO, Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. Soros claims that Zuckerberg, who hasn’t followed Twitter in banning all political advertising, is helping Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign in a ‘kind of mutual assistance arrangement with D.T.’ Soros goes on to demand Facebook take action stating, ‘Mark Zuckerberg should be removed from control of Facebook.’ The F.T. posted a copy and paste transcript of Soros’ proposition yesterday. Notably absent from the article was the lack of an introduction and commentary from FT staff.…
VIDEO: Climate activists prevent state-approved timber harvest weeks after devastating bushfires
Just weeks after Australia was devastated by the bush fire crisis which saw 33 lives lost and 27.2 million acres burned, a group of climate activists halted a Victorian state-approved ‘harvest and regeneration’ logging coupe. The masked protesters, who identified themselves as Extinction Rebellion, attended the Central Highlands forest near Warburton VIC where they held a protest inside of the ‘timber harvesting safety zones’, preventing the harvesting from commencing due to OH&S restrictions. ‘VicForests’ who are responsible for the sustainable harvest, re-growing and commercial sale of timber from public forests are a state-owned business who act on behalf of the…
Christians in China distribute face masks, gospel tracts, and broadcast sermons to terrified people in coronavirus hot zone
Christians in China have taken to the streets of Wuhan, the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, not only to distribute free face masks but to also share the gospel with millions of frightened residents of the Hubei province. With the death toll reportedly rising to 722 and the number of confirmed cases jumping to 34,546, believers are risking their own safety in an effort to help their neighbours. Not only are Chinese Christians in danger of infection, but could also find themselves subject to potential persecution by authorities. According to CBN News, the face masks serve a dual-purpose by helping…
Female astronaut breaks women’s record; NASA, WaPo, ABC inadvertently affirm there are only two genders
NASA’s social media news feeds were flooded with images of astronaut, Christina Koch, today, as NASA celebrated her return to earth. The American astronaut landed safely via the Soyuz MS-13 capsule in Kazakhstan. Koch, 41, spent a record 328 days in space, marking the longest ever spaceflight achieved by a woman. U.S. Navy Captain and former Astronaut Scott Kelly broke the men’s record in 2015, spending a total number of 340 days on the International Space Station. On her official Twitter page yesterday, before leaving the I.S.S, Christina said that the thing she’ll miss ‘the exquisite beauty of the planet…
City officials drop discrimination complaint after federal court says women’s only shelter should not be forced to admit trans-women
In January 2018, a transgender woman filed a complaint with the Anchorage Equal Rights Commission, alleging a woman’s refuge was guilty of discrimination for twice refusing him admission into the female-only shelter. Anchorage officials took action against the refuge, Downtown Hope Center, and opened an investigation into the allegation of gender identity discrimination. According to David Cortman of the Alliance Defending Freedom, when the transgender individual, Samantha Coyle, approached the facility, it was after hours. “He was inebriated,” Cortman told KTUU. “He was injured. He had just come from a fight where he was kicked out of another shelter.” The shelter…
UK rugby team forces Israel Folau to play a match in support of LGBTQ pride, others threaten legal action
After nine months off the field, former Wallaby Israel Folau is set to return to rugby league with a France-based club. The Catalans Dragons have been widely criticised for signing the one-year deal with Folau after the former Australian rugby star was sacked for posting a paraphrased Bible verse on his Instagram account. Catalans chairman Bernard Guasch said his club does not share or condone Folau’s Christian beliefs, but wanted to give Folau a “new opportunity to shine on the pitch.” “We do not believe that those views should be publicly expressed, especially by a high-profile sports person,” Guasch said.…
Christianity BANNED in the United Kingdom
“One cannot help but wonder if Mr Graham is the canary in the mine, with his demise being an early warning of the coming death of religious liberty in the UK.” At least five venues in the United Kingdom have cancelled events featuring Rev Franklin Graham after his Christian beliefs were deemed “discriminatory,” “repulsive” and “hateful”. Graham, the eldest son of the famous American evangelist Billy Graham, has been met with opposition from UK’s LGBTQ+ activists and authorities since his eight-city tour of the UK was announced. The 67-year-old evangelist was due to preach at the ACC Liverpool on June…
WATCH: Elizabeth Warren says she will allow a transgender child to pick her future Secretary of Education
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren has said her future Secretary of Education will be chosen by a transgender child to ensure public schools are a “welcoming community”. Speaking on Sunday at a town hall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Warren said her future nominee will be subject to an interview with a young transgender person, and the nominee will only advance to the position if the child approves of the candidate. “It starts with the Secretary of Education – who has a lot to do with where we spend our money, with what gets advanced in our public schools, with…
Morrison’s no retreat, no surrender Press Club speech shows a Prime Minister eager to serve
In a speech for the National Press Club on Wednesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison delivered the equivalent of a State of the Union address. From its content to his delivery, it was obvious that the Prime Minister was addressing the nation, not just the top end town. His address didn’t present a government in damage control, but a government that is in control. Morrison was right to not use the opportunity to give ground to noisy dishonest critics on social media. Many of whom come across as detached from everyday Australia, and seem to exist only as a deliberate distraction…
Calls for a new state police force to combat ‘far-right’ extremism show it’s time to end the far-left vs far-right facade
The late, great, Roger Scruton once articulated that one of the most successful lies of the 20th century is the idea that the ‘far-left’ is nothing like the ‘far-right.’ Scruton noted that: The success of Communist propaganda could be found in how it has persuaded so many people that fascism and communism are polar opposites and that there is a single scale of political ideology stretching from ‘far-left’ to ‘far-right’. Thus while communism is on the ‘far-left’, it is one stage along the road one must go in order not to be contaminated by fascism. However: Communism, like fascism, involved…
AWKWARD: ABC News anchor caught trying to cut network’s feed of President Trump’s lawyer
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos was caught on-air frantically signalling to cut the network’s feed as White House attorney Jay Sekulow spoke about President Trump’s impeachment defense. On Saturday, the White House’s official Twitter account shared the 18-second clip of Stephanopoulos, a former Clinton adviser, making the throat-slashing gesture before realising he was on camera. “Caught!” the White House’s tweet read. “ABC’s Stephanopoulos trying to cut off the President’s lead counsel.” WATCH: Caught!

President Trump speaks at the March For Life Rally: “Every human life, born and unborn, is made in the holy image of Almighty God”
For the first time in its 47-year history, a U.S. President has spoken at the annual March For Life rally. President Donald Trump delivered a 15-minute message at the Washington D.C. event on Friday, saying unborn children have “never had a stronger defender in the White House.” “All of us here understand an eternal truth: Every child is a precious and sacred gift from God,” the President said. “Together, we must protect, cherish, and defend the dignity and the sanctity of every human life. “When we see the image of a baby in the womb, we glimpse the majesty of…
Jihadi militants attack primary school, murder three Christian teachers
Jihadi militants have killed three Christian teachers in Kenya during an attack on a primary school, according to Kenya’s National Police Service. In a post on Twitter, authorities confirmed the three teachers were killed when suspected Al-Shabaab militants attacked a primary school, a police post, and a telecommunications mast in the region of Kamuthe on Monday at about 2 a.m. “This morning around 02.00 hrs, suspected armed AS Militia attacked Kamuthe Primary school, Kamuthe Police Post, a telecommunications mast and murdered 3 teachers,” police said. “The telecommunications mast is particularly damaged but operational.

Miracle Stories From The Australian Bushfires
The fires that have torn through the Australian landscape in recent weeks are without doubt the most widespread natural disaster in our nation’s living memory. Fellow Australians are hurting as they grieve the loss of properties, livelihoods and loved ones. Yet in the flames and through the smoke, there is hope, and evidence of God at work. The generosity of friends and strangers, the Australian spirit of mateship, and the reminder of what’s truly precious in life all speak to the presence of God in the midst of tragedy. Most profound of all, perhaps, are the mysterious stories that are…
