Sydneysiders have expressed their disapproval after the United Nations flag was flown over Sydney Harbour on Saturday. The city’s iconic bridge raised the flag to celebrate United Nations Day and mark the 75th anniversary since the intergovernmental organization was created on October 24, 1945. At the time of its formation, Australia was one of the 51 founding members that ratified the UN Charter. According to the Parliament of Australia, Australia has been a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council five times and currently holds a non-permanent position on the UN Human Rights Council. In September 2015 the Turnbull Government announced Australia’s candidacy to…

Since March 2020 Australia’s governments, both federal and state, are using their powers to excessively coerce, obstruct or otherwise unreasonably interfere with the life, liberty and property of the citizen.

Some of Australia’s regional politicians would have us believe that they truly care for children and the vulnerable. Within a matter of days, two regional governments – Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory – have passed laws to criminalise so-called gay conversion therapy.

If these horror stories do not shock you, you may be part of the problem.

With how irrelevant anti-conversion therapy laws are, the implication is that the LGBTQAAI+ religion is seeking to outlaw anyone from leaving the LGBT lifestyle.

Last week, Queensland became the first state in the country to ban “conversion therapy,” however, its supporters are already saying the legislation doesn’t go far enough.

It’s now being reported that Christians have been cut off from welfare payments after refusing to sign a statement renouncing their faith.

The Australian journalist Greg Sheridan has quipped that these days, “the academic fashion is to attack Western civilisation, not study it.” With historic statues being trashed and toppled around the western world, and accusations of systemic racism being levelled against the fairest societies that history has produced, Sheridan couldn’t be more right. Sadly, those trying to erase our history seem unaware that the ideals they claim to stand for—like equality, human dignity, science and human rights—arose uniquely in the West. Not only that—these values owe much of their existence to Christianity. Over the last decade, there has been a flood…

A High Court judge has told England’s only evangelical Christian fostering agency that they ‘must’ allow homosexuals to sign up as foster carers. According to BBC News, Cornerstone Adoption and Fostering Service launched a High Court challenge against Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills) after inspectors from the government body deemed its policies discriminatory and lowered its rating. The Christian agency was criticised for only placing children with married heterosexual foster carers, a policy Justice Julian Knowles said was unlawful. “The law requires Cornerstone to accept gay men and lesbian women as potential foster carers,” the…

A Black Lives Matter supporter who posted a video to social media threatening to stab the next person to say “All Lives Matter” has been fired from her job. Claira Janover, a recent Harvard University graduate, posted the short video to TikTok which quickly began to circulate across multiple social media platforms. “The next person who has the sheer nerve, the sheer entitled caucasity to say ‘all lives matter,’ I’ma stab you,” Janover said in the video. The word ‘caucasity’ is a reference to the “audacity of white people.” “I’ma stab you,” she went on to say, “and while you’re…

George Floyd’s cruel murder is sparking much-needed conversations about justice and racial harmony in America and beyond. The ripple effect has already reached us Down Under, with protests planned for Australian capital cities this weekend. Yesterday I spoke with a friend who has ministered among Indigenous Australians for decades. He told me that in some regional jails he has visited, Aboriginal men made up over 70% of the prison population. Whatever landed them there, this is a deeply troubling picture. In a recent survey, 10% of Australians said they would tell jokes about Indigenous Aussies. 10% said they wouldn’t employ…

George Floyd is dead, and that is an unmitigated tragedy all by itself before anything else happened. All four officers involved were sacked immediately pending investigation, and the alleged murderer was eventually arrested and charged with murder and manslaughter. It’s expected the others will face trial on criminal charges as well. Absolutely no one on any side of politics, at any level of government, or in any law enforcement agency or their trade unions has come out and tried to contextualise or minimalise the evil brutality of the murderer. There is “systemic” condemnation, not tolerance, of this crime. The public…

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Thursday slammed big tech bias after Twitter attached a “fact-check” warning on two of President Trump’s tweets. The President, on Tuesday, posted on Twitter warning about the dangers of mail-in ballots, saying: “There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone….. “….living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one.…

On March 23, 2020, a month after New Zealand had recorded its first case of coronavirus, Prime Minister Jacinta Ardern announced a draconian national lockdown when it only had 102 cases and zero deaths. Her radical decision was highly praised by the usual suspects, including the discredited WHO. Addressing the NZ Parliament on March 25th to justify the nation going “into an extreme lockdown”, Ardern contented that the job of her government is to “save lives”. A State of National Emergency, she said, was necessary to preserve human lives. For this particular purpose, she menacingly stated: “There will be no…

Police in New Zealand have been given the power to enter private homes without a warrant in order to ensure people are following coronavirus restrictions. The COVID-19 Public Health Response Bill was rushed through Parliament on Wednesday in time for alert level 2, passing 63 votes to 57. The passing of the bill comes despite the Human Rights Commission saying it’s “deeply concerned” about the lack of scrutiny due to the rushed process. “There has been no input from ordinary New Zealanders, which is deeply regrettable,” said chief human rights commissioner Paul Hunt. Mr Hunt warned the new legislation gives…

David Limbrick MP yesterday asked an excellent science question of the Victorian Chief Health Officer appearing before the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee. When asked, “How do you make the decision between which activities should be prohibited and which shouldn’t?“ Victoria’s Chief Health Officer replied: In a sense, these are not easy decisions to make – there is some arbitrariness. That is why you’ll see an enormous variety across jurisdictions in Australia. Standing apart from many Christian commentators and leaders (though not alone), I’ve been an outspoken critic of the loss of liberty still being endured by Australians in the name of…
