Number of Australians on the dole for more than five years doubles, costing taxpayers $32 billion
“We should measure welfare’s success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many people are added.” Ronald Reagan Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, was right when he said, “Our goal should never be to make poverty less miserable. Our goal must be to make poverty more escapable.” Brooks went on to point out, “getting things without working for them is a very hard habit to break. Getting things without working for them can become a way of life.” Australia, like many other nations, continues to prove this to be the case, as the number of…
Mike Pence responds to Joy Behar after she mocked his Christian faith
Earlier this week, Joy Behar, host of ABC’s The View mocked Vice President Mike Pence’s Christian faith, likening it to a “mental illness.” For context, the entire segment can be viewed below. Like I said before, it’s one thing to talk to Jesus, it’s another thing when Jesus talks to you. That’s called mental illness, if I’m not correct, hearing voices… My question is, can he talk to Mary Magdalene without his wife in the room. The Vice President has since hit back, slamming Behar’s remarks as “wrong” and “insulting” to the majority of Americans who cherish their faith. I…
Episcopal Church affirms transgender and drop gendered references to God
The Episcopal Church in Washington, DC, recently passed a resolution to drop gendered references to God in favour of gender-neutral language. The resolution adopted states: If revision of the Book of Common Prayer is authorized, to utilize expansive language for God from the rich source of feminine, masculine, and non-binary imagery for God found in Scripture and tradition and, when possible, to avoid the use of gendered pronouns for God. Prior to that, the diocese issued a resolution on the inclusion of transgender people. The resolution, “affirms that all transgender people, and anyone whose gender identity and expression differs from…
Tanya Plibersek laments: Killing your baby is not easy enough
“It seems tragic that a woman would bring a child into the world for no reason other than she couldn’t afford to have a termination.” Plibersek Morally bankrupt Labor politicians, Tanya Plibersek and Catherine King, penned a piece for the Sydney Morning Herald lamenting the fact that Australian women cannot kill their unborn children with equal convenience. “Every Australian should have access to the health services they need… Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures that Australian women will experience in their lives.” But due to Australia’s “patchwork of abortion laws” women who wish to end the life of their…
God’s Great Rainbow
Many years ago, recorded for us in Genesis chapter 6-9, God destroys the whole earth, save 8 people and 2 of each animal. It was the wickedness of man’s heart that led to this destruction. “When the LORD saw that man’s wickedness was widespread on the earth and that every scheme his mind thought of was nothing but evil all the time, the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Then the LORD said, “I will wipe off the face of the earth: man, whom I created, together with the…
Aboriginal woman pens powerful letter to divisive Australians
Jacinta Price has shared a remarkable letter she received from “a true survivour and the kind of Aboriginal woman our leaders need to listen to, especially Greens Leader Di Natale.” I want to share this letter sent to me by a woman I regard as a sister. She is a true survivor and the kind of Aboriginal woman our leaders need to listen to, especially Greens Leader Di Natale!! Hear her words and please share her story! – I’ve spent an hour trying to figure out how to start this letter and there’s no easy or good way to…

Muta argued, the princes from Snow White and Sleeping Beauty portray, “quasi-compulsive obscene sexual acts on an unconscious partner.” Muta accused the princes of sexual assault in a Tweet linked to a news story about a man who was arrested for kissing a woman while she slept on a train.

The testimony of a former lesbian
Emily spent 7 years living out her same-sex attractions while being outspoken about God’s acceptance of her lifestyle. After her engagement with her female partner ended, she was invited to a Bible study. This weekly examination of the holiness of God challenged her day after day until her life completely changed. People say to me all the time, ‘I was born this way.’ I say, OK, me too. You’re not born with right affections, that’s why Jesus had to come. You feeling a desire to sin just proves you need grace, just like me. It’s not gay to straight. It’s…
Almost half of your income tax is given to welfare
According to new data obtained from the Treasury through Senate Estimates, the average taxpayer pays $11,427 in income tax, and almost half of that is given to welfare. Senator Eric Abetz said: With more than half the budget being spent on health and welfare, it is clear that our current fiscal situation is unsustainable and we need to see if we can deliver the same outcomes while spending less money. Further, the fact that each taxpayer is paying $474 towards interest on our national debt once again highlights how important it is to reduce the debt burden on future generations.…
LGBTQ history mandatory in primary schools
California has become the first state to approve LGBT-inclusive textbooks for use in primary schools. Ten textbooks for kindergarten through to eighth-grade, were approved by the California State Board of Education last month. The Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful Education Act is a California law which mandates the inclusion of the political, economic, and social contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people into educational textbooks and social studies curricular in California public schools. The California State Board of Education also rejected two textbooks published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. The textbooks were rejected because they failed to address the sexual orientations…
Depictions of traditional mothers and hopeless fathers to be banned next year
Next year, a new rule will be introduced in the UK Advertising Codes, banning “harmful and outdated” gender stereotypes. A review by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) suggested, “harmful stereotypes can restrict the choices, aspirations and opportunities of children, young people and adults. These stereotypes can be reinforced by some advertising, which therefore plays a part in unequal gender outcomes…” Depictions which are likely to be problematic include, “family members creating a mess while a woman has sole responsibility for cleaning it up or an ad that features a man trying and failing to undertake simple parental or household tasks…
Down Syndrome man is told what he costs society
How much does a person with Down Syndrome cost? That question was posed by a television show in the Netherlands called, The Last Downer. You might answer that question by saying, “You can’t put a price on a human life.” Well, according to the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and Environment (RIVM), you can – and they have! The video below begins with the host stating: “RIVM has, at the request of The Last Downer, calculated what the costs are to care for a ‘Downer.’ And that has not happened before. Today, Sjoerd and I will hear the result.” Sjoerd, of…
Planned Parenthood think their supporters are stupid
In the United States, Planned Parenthood performs over 320,000 abortions every year; 887 abortions each day; and 1 abortion every 97 seconds. For every 1 adoption referral, Planned Parenthood commits 160 abortions. Planned Parenthood perform less than 2% of U.S. breast exams; less than 1% of the nation’s pap tests; less than 2% of U.S. cancer screenings for women; 0% mammograms; but a staggering 34.9% of all U.S. abortions. Planned Parenthood receives over half a billion dollars of taxpayer money every year. In a recent Facebook post, the “advocacy and political arm” of the organisation, said: “We should all be deeply…
The West is doomed: “My dog is just as important as your kid”
Last year News.com.au posted an absurd article titled, My dog is just as important as your kid. The piece contains some real zingers, like: If there was a fire and I had to choose between saving my dog or your son, I’d save my dog. I’ve had people tsk-tsk me, giving me crap for paying for doggie daycare one day a week… So why the hell are dog owners treated like second-rate citizens in this so-called pet-loving country of ours? Our puppers aren’t allowed in so many places, like on public transport, even though the ratio of well-behaved and clean dogs to…
Responding to Same-Sex Marriage
Since the Australian Parliament decided to thumb its nose at God by legalising same-sex “marriage,” I have been asked numerous times how we as Christians should respond. As I pondered this question I have found myself coming up with six ways in which I will personally respond to this embracing of darkness. 1. Be Family Focused I am convinced that family is the building block of society. If we want to see our community strengthened then we need to have strong, godly and moral families. As such, I will be seeking to love my wife as Christ loves the Church…
When #EqualityForAll does not include Christian bakers
Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, opens his doors to everyone. “People of all walks of life are always welcome in the store… I serve everybody, I just don’t make cakes for every event,” Phillips has said. Phillips is a Christian, which means he refuses to use his artistry to decorate cakes that endorse a message contrary to his faith and conviction. “There are certain messages that I don’t create,” Phillips states. “I don’t do cakes for Halloween, I don’t do cakes that would promote sexual things, or anti-American things, or things that would disparage other people, including [those] that identify as…
It’s now ok for a man to hit a woman
In 2014, Fallon Fox, a transgender MMA fighter, beat his female opponent, Tamika Brents, so severely, that she suffered a broken skull and concussion before being TKO’d. The fight lasted one round and was over in almost two and a half minutes. It’s not easy viewing, but the entire fight, including the bloody end, can be viewed below: In an interview following the fight, Brents said: I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because she was born a…
Dastardly Dastyari
When Herschelle Gibbs dropped Steve Waugh in the 1999 Cricket World Cup one of the most misquoted quotes was born. It’s commonly understood that Waugh said, ‘How does it feel to have just dropped the World Cup?’ But, according to the man himself, the truth is it was more like, ‘That’s going to cost your team today, Hersch’. Regardless of what particular version you go with, surely, this time, Dasher has done his dash – at least with the Australian voting public. As David Flint has recently argued in his excellent article, “He would be disqualified under section 44 of…
Resignation from the Marriage Act
I will mail this letter to the Attorney General on the day that the Governor General signs into law the redefinition of marriage.
