The Australian Human Rights Commission has just released its Guidelines for the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse people in sport dated June 2019.

The Act has recognised the non-binary nature of gender identity since 2013. The Guildlines provide information on the operation of the Act, and practical guidance on how sporting organisations, their staff and volunteers can promote the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse…

Israel Folau has graciously come to the defence of his latest critic Magda Szubanski, urging his followers not to attack her for her criticisms of Folau and Christianity but to continue the debate in love. “Hey everyone I totally agree with Julia Baird,” Folau tweeted on Sunday, “please stop the anonymous online attacks on Magda Szubanski who has entered this debate very respectfully. She is entitled to express her views – let’s all have this important discussion with love in our hearts.” Hey everyone I totally agree with @bairdjulia – please stop the anonymous online attacks on @MagdaSzubanski who has…

Israel Folau’s supporters have raised over $1.2million in just one day after GoFundMe shut down the former rugby star’s crowdfunded campaign to help with his legal battle with Rugby Australia. The Australian Christian Lobby set up the alternative donation website after GoFundMe removed Folau’s original campaign which raised more than $760k in four days. GoFundMe said they will refund all donations back to Folau’s supporters. Nicola Britton, regional manager for GoFundMe Australia said the campaign was shut down because they will not tolerate the promotion of discrimination or exclusion. “As a company, we are absolutely committed to the fight for…

Israel Folau’s GoFundMe page has been shut down after the crowdfunding platform apparently found the campaign to be in violation of their terms of service. Folau, who is taking on Rugby Australia for his right to be included in the game after he was sacked for sharing a Bible verse on his personal Instagram account, is now being excluded by GoFundMe, once again, in the name of “inclusivity.” Think about that for a second. Nicola Britton, regional manager for GoFundMe Australia said: “Today we will be closing Israel Folau’s campaign and issuing full refunds to all donors. After a routine…

The opening sentence of Jacques Ellul’s, ‘Islam and Judeo-Christianity: A Critique of their commonality’, reads, ‘For nearly a decade, French intellectuals, generally speaking, have been seized with an excessive affection for Islam.’ (p.3) What follows is a ninety-four-page treatise on the reasons for why this excessive affection is not only dangerous but misguided. Ellul acknowledges the existence of a disproportionate tolerance of Islam. He then compares that to the disdain of how French intellectuals have been interacting with Judeo-Christianity (Biblical Christianity), since the 1960s’. The reason for this excessive affection is due to Islam’s proximity to Marxism (“scientific” socialism). Roger…

Anti-Christian activists are again targetting a Colorado baker for his refusal to create custom LGBTQ-themed cakes. This is the third time activists have sued Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, despite the fact that Phillips has always opened his doors to everyone, including LGBTQ people. “People of all walks of life are always welcome in the store,” Phillips said back in 2017. “I serve everybody. I just don’t make cakes for every event.” Phillips’ Christian conviction prevents him from using his artistry to decorate cakes that endorse a message contrary to his faith. “There are certain messages I don’t create,” Phillips…

Progressivism has become so pervasive that it’s about time that a children’s book is written on the political left. We’ve all been wanting to understand those big words that are thrown around time and time again and so, for social education of knuckle-dragging-cave-dwelling-deplorables everywhere, here are your 21st century ABC’s. A is for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez AOC: The Fresh New Face of the Democratic Party, or as Ben Shapiro says, “So fresh. So face.” Never before have the ideals of communism been espoused in such eloquence and grandeur than through the lips of this 21st century feminist prophet. According to AOC,…

The Trump administration has denied requests from U.S. embassies worldwide to fly the rainbow flag in celebration of LGBTQ Pride Month. Vice President Mike Pence on Monday told NBC News he supported the State Department’s decision saying the only flag to fly on the flag pole of American embassies should be the American flag. “As the president said on the night we were elected, we’re proud to be able to serve every American, and we both feel that way very passionately,” Pence said. “But when it comes to the American flagpole, and American embassies, and capitals around the world, having…

A pastor in Toronto, Canada was arrested last week after his gospel message offended a nearby mob. Pastor David Lynn of Christ Forgiveness Ministries was at Church-Wellesley Village on June 4, as part of the ministry’s outdoor preaching tour throughout 22 districts in Toronto. The entire incident, including Pastor Lynn’s arrest, was live-streamed on Facebook and later uploaded to YouTube. The video shows Lynn sharing the gospel with people on a street corner when a group of belligerent LGBTQ protesters began to form a blockade around the pastor and shout down his message. “We are here to tell you that…

The push to normalise pedophilia continues. This week, in celebration of LGBTQ Pride Month, Snapchat released their latest filter themed, “Love has no labels.” The filter generates a rainbow overlay along with a caption that includes phrases such as, “Love has no gender,” “Love has no sexuality,” and “Love has no age.” Yes, according to Snapchat, “love” transcends the age barrier, in the same way, it supposedly transcends gender and sexuality barriers. This is where it begins, folks. Little by little, they desensitise us to these things through gradual exposure, until one day, it just doesn’t shock us anymore. According…

As of May 2019 persons who suffer transgender dysphoria or gender identity issues will no longer be referred to by medical practitioners worldwide as persons with a mental or behavioural disorder. The International Health Classification for ‘Transgender persons’ has officially been rebranded by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in an attempt to remove the stigma and negativity that can follow with labelling someone as having a mental disorder. According to WHO‘s recently updated International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), “The ICD is the foundation for identifying health trends and statistics worldwide and contains around 55,000 unique codes for injuries, diseases and…

A UK High Court Judge has exonerated foster parents who are helping their four-year-old foster son transition to a girl. The ruling comes despite social workers claiming the parents were actively encouraging and prematurely diagnosing the boy with gender dysphoria. According to the Daily Mail, a number of social workers were attempting to have the child removed from his foster parents after they came to the belief that the couple were “actively encouraging” the child and “acted in a precipitate manner in relation to perceived gender dysphoria.” Life Site News reported, “the foster couple had sent [the child] to school…

Playboy’s reputation for providing intellectually engaging reading material doesn’t rank all that high in the list of influential mainstream media outlets. So it’s easy to not take any activism from the morally questionable publication all that seriously. In early May, however, the publication touted an anti-homeschooling article from Christopher Stroop, a freelance writer who has contributed articles to Playboy and Salon. Stroop seized on recent gun violence in the United States to fire a broadside at white evangelical Americans. In doing so he conflated Christian homeschoolers with domestic terrorism, accusing them of white supremacy, racism and radicalization. Stroop, a self-proclaimed…

Bill Shorten’s poorly aimed verbal sucker punch at Scott Morrison draws from the assumption that those who voted “yes” in the LNP’s gay marriage popularity survey are a bankable vote for Labor. This political maneuver was a bad call. It betrays a deep overconfidence in the Labor political machine and underestimates the intellectual capacity of the discerning public. Shorten’s goal was clear. Capitalize on the fearmongering and misrepresentations, which he and Pro-SSM advocates were so keen to employ, instead of engaging in rational, respectful debate. As a servant of that public, he seems to forget that Labor had originally refused…

The popular children’s television show Arthur premiered its 22nd season on Monday, with an episode featuring the marriage of the much-loved school teacher, Mr Ratburn. To the surprise of parents, however, the episode titled, Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone revealed Mr Ratburn is, in fact, a homosexual who was to marry his “special someone” at a same-sex wedding. The animated television series, aimed towards children aged four to eight years, is often described as an educational program. Throughout the show’s 22 series, the program has tackled a variety of issues such as asthma, dyslexia, cancer, diabetes and autism, but never before…

Pennsylvania State Representative and LGBTQ activist Brian Sims has offered $100 to anyone who will DOX the three young teenage girls he filmed quietly praying outside of a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic. “What we’ve got here is a bunch of protesters,” Sims told his followers during the live broadcast. “A bunch of pseudo-Christian protesters who’ve been out here shaming young girls for being here.” As he approached the teens, Sims turned his camera towards them and offered his 50k followers $100 if they could DOX the young girls. “I’ve got $100 to anyone who will identify any of these three.…

The senate ballot paper can be daunting. This year, in SA, there are forty-two candidates, most of whose names you have never heard of before. Six of them will end up sitting in the Senate, deciding Australian Legislation for the next six years. That’s an important job, so we should look closely and think about who we will vote for. This article is, hopefully, a good starting point to work out how you will vote if you happen to be a South Australian. I’m going to introduce all the parties/candidates and the basic propositions that they represent. I’ve grouped them…

The LGBT community’s grievances and the reason for their sensitivity regarding the Israel Folau controversy are understandable. A non-biblical version of sin has been misused over the years to beat people down, not bring them to faith and repentance. (See Psychiatrist, Karl Menninger’s ‘Whatever Became of Sin?’, 1976) That historical misuse, however, doesn’t justify the unjust writhing and screaming being thrown towards Folau. None of this justifies dehumanizing a man and taking away his bread and butter. None of this justifies any corporation such as Qantas, bullying, via economic sanctions, companies they do business with, such as Rugby Australia. As…

In August 1939, the Soviets signed a non-aggression treaty with the Nazis. This treaty was called the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and it allowed the Soviets room to explore Stalin’s expansionist policies. Largely hidden behind the grotesque Abyss of National Socialism’s dark reach for Europe in 1940, Stalin’s Communist forces moved into Poland and Finland.  The Soviet offensive against Poland began in September, 1939; the offensive against Finland (known as The Winter War) began in November. Unlike, Poland, Finland had the benefit of only fighting a war on one front. ‘The Winter War’ ended five months later. Finland lost some territory, but…
