To Abolish Law Enforcement is to Abandon Law and Order
Australian political history has a lesson for any American politician who chooses to leap before they look, and act on radical calls to abolish law enforcement. Last week, ex-Labor, Gillard-era government minister, Joseph Ludwig was found to have acted with ‘misfeasance’ (‘the wrongful exercise of law’; or in laymen’s terms: an abuse of power) when in June 2011 – with his approval, and under his oversight – the Gillard government put a blanket ban on live cattle exports. Ludwig’s decision was a ‘response to public outcry over footage collected by activists and broadcast on the ABC’s Four Corners, which [appeared…
There Are More Than 9 Million Slaves in Africa Today. Do Black Lives Matter Only When the Oppressor Is White?
Slavery has been a universal institution for thousands of years, as far back as you can trace human history. We’re looking as if slavery was something that happened to one race of people in one country, when in fact, the spread of it was around the world.
WATCH: Minneapolis Mayor Tries to Appease Protesters, Backfires Big Time
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) attended a protest on Saturday following the death of George Floyd, but things took an unexpected turn when the mayor was asked if he would commit to defunding the police department. Frey told the crowd that he believes the department must undergo “structural reforms” and that “systemic, racist system needs to be revamped.” The speaker responded: “We don’t want any more police, is that clear? We don’t want people with guns in our communities, shooting us down. Do you have an answer? It is a yes or no?” Frey responded by saying he doesn’t support…

Ice Cube, whose real name is O’Shea Jackson, on Saturday tweeted, “F*** THE NEW NORMAL UNTIL THEY FIX THE OLD NORMAL!” The image attached to the tweet was a photograph of a mural depicting Jewish caricatures, which has been widely condemned for resembling Nazi-style propaganda.

The Race Rhetoric That Causes More Harm Than Harmony
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…
Video: Australians Protest Australian Police After a US Officer Killed a Black American, Chant ‘F*** the Police’
It’s been estimated that about 12,000 people gathered in Sydney on Saturday to take part in the Australian “Black Lives Matter” protest, after a Minnesota police officer in the United States, a country on the other side of the world, caused the death of a black American. Protesters chanted “f**k the police” and “Too many coppers, not enough justice” as they rallied near Town Hall. Anti-police rhetoric has dominated recent “Black Lives Matter” protests, with the abolition of law enforcement and prison high on the list of demands. The Movement 4 Black Lives states first and foremost: “We are Abolitionists:…
WATCH: White Antifa Thugs Surround and Attack Black Police Officer… Because Black Lives Matter?

Fact Check: No, Indigenous Australians Do Not Make up 82% of Australia’s Prison Population
There’s a claim going around that Australian prisons are 82% filled with Indigenous Aussies. That figure is false. The actual number is 28%. According to the most recent ABS figures, 11,849 of 42,974 prisoners are Indigenous. 23,124 (or 53%) are Aussie born Non-Indigenous. The rest are from overseas, totaling 8,001 (18.6%). To make the case to justify a statement such as “Indigenous Australians are over represented in Australian prisons” the figures have to be bling’d out with shock and awe percentages, then wrapped in jargon. Allison Wong, in ‘Build Communities, Not Prisons’ written for activist group ANTaR, illustrated that in…
Are America’s Riots Still About George Floyd?
In case you didn’t think 2020 could get any more perplexing, there are now uncontrolled riots taking place in dozens of American cities.

In the week since the rioting began, numerous people have lost their lives and thousands have been arrested. Many cities have imposed curfews and the National Guard has been deployed in over 20 states. The unrest started last week in Minneapolis after a video went viral showing the…

Ten Things You May Not Know About COVID-19
An unmistakable optimism has returned to countries like Australia as lockdown restrictions begin to ease. Even the news cycle has begun to focus on issues other than the coronavirus, to our collective relief. For several months there was blanket news coverage of the pandemic. Media outlets kept feeding our insatiable appetite to know more about a crisis that so directly impacts our health, our livelihoods, and our loved ones. I remember seeing early reports suggesting that the death toll could approach 68 million. It is a relief, then, that as infection rates flatten in most countries, the death toll has been only…
Jesus Overturning Tables Is Not A Licence to Riot and Destroy Other People’s Property
Most of us would remember the popular Christian arm bracelets with the acronym ‘WWJD?’ The initials stand for What Would Jesus Do? It was a question that was supposed to remind people to deal with every situation the way Jesus would. One comical response to the question was to suggest that “flipping over tables and chasing people with a whip was within the realm of possibility.” That is, after all, something Jesus did, right? But is it licence for us to do likewise? Is it OK for us to destroy other people’s property in the name of social justice? It’s…
