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 Scottish Maritime Museum have announced they will no longer refer to ships in female terms such as “she” and “her”, opting for more inclusive, gender-neutral language. Director David Mann said the museum was forced to make the move after social justice vandals twice scratched out the words “she” and “her” on a “very expensive sign” referencing a vessel. “For the second time this year, the museum has been targeted by a vandal, who has destroyed one of the interpretation signs which follow the universally adopted and centuries-old maritime tradition of referring to vessels as female,” Mann said. “Like other…

A volunteer assisting at a flood zone in Ottawa has blasted the Canadian Prime Minister for holding up sandbagging efforts for a “photo-op.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in the Ottawa-Gatineau area to fill sandbags with his young son and take photographs with some of the troops assisting in flood prevention efforts after heavy rains caused water to rise to dangerous levels. “Do you know how long you’ve held up people picking up bags?” the volunteer shouted as Trudeau posed for photographs. “I’ve been waiting in line down the road for 30 minutes while you’ve been here soaking up the…

Sky News’ Rita Panahi has drawn attention to the harrowing plight of Christians who continue to suffer at the hands of Islamist forces in the Middle East and Africa. “It’s been called ethnic cleansing,” Panahi said. “But religious genocide would be more accurate.” “The plight of Christians in parts of Africa is harrowing, with regular reports of violence in Nigeria, Eritrea, the Congo, Central African Republic, Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, and a number of other countries.” “Where is the pope, one wonders, as thousands of his followers are driven out of their homes, abused or killed for merely observing…

A women’s fashion magazine in “culturally enriched” Germany has featured an article teaching women how to properly treat a knife wound. The women’s publication Illu der Frau recently ran the piece titled, “How do I treat a stab wound?” which offers basic advice for stab victims. “Importantly, before you provide first aid, make sure the perpetrators have disappeared, your own safety is a priority,” the article states. According to the Gatestone Institute, “Police reported more than 4,100 knife-related crimes in 2018, compared to around 3,800 reported during 2017 — and only 400 in 2008. “Overall, during the past ten years,…

Katie Hopkins has warned the current state of Western Europe is a “glimpse into the future” of Western nations which pander to Islam and welcome mass third-world immigration. In the new documentary, Homelands, Hopkins looks at the Christian and Jewish communities that are being forced out of their homelands and asks the question, “Where is there a Homeland for Western Europeans?” “This is a glimpse into your future,” Hopkins wrote in a tweet directed to New Zealanders. “Do not become like us,” she warned. “Do not be hunted from the land you call home.” “In Western Europe, a silent exodus…

A professor at the University of California, San Diego, has allegedly highlighted the parallels between fetuses and cancers during a lecture titled “Biology of Disease.” A medical student in the class took a photo of one of the presentation slides and uploaded it to social media. The slide parallels the effects of the unborn baby on the pregnant mother’s body with the effects of cancer. “The fetus: a legitimate parasite: rapidly grows, invades, manipulates immunity of mother, reshapes blood vessels,” the slide states. “The cancer: crashes the party!!! rapidly grows, invades, manipulates immunity, reshapes blood vessels.” No joke, a friend…

Former White House adviser, Oliver McGee, has shared footage on social media of former Vice President Joe Biden saying he wants “unrelenting immigration” to turn white America into an “absolute minority.” “WOW! Joe Biden caught on tape,” McGee said. “He doesn’t want the American people to see this. He wants unrelenting immigration until whites are America’s minority!” “Immigration is based on MERIT, NOT COLOR of one’s skin,” McGee added. The comments were made during a 2015 introductory three-day summit addressing violent extremism following a string of Islamic terror attacks throughout Western nations. “I’m proud of the American record on culture and…

Leftists are awfully silent when it comes to Christian persecution. While they’re often quick to express concerns about the spread of “Islamophobia”, very few, if any, will ever mention “Christophobia”, despite the fact that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world.[note]Pew Research Center[/note] When 290 Christians in Sri Lanka were slaughtered by Islamic terrorists, Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama, among others, chose to refer to the victims as “Easter worshippers” rather than “Christians”. Other outspoken leftists decided to say nothing at all about the attacks. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted up to 14 times about the massacre of 50…

Donald Trump Jr has slammed the Washington Post, after the major American newspaper responded to Sunday’s terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka by downplaying Christian persecution. Just a day after 290 Christians were slaughtered by Islamic terrorists during Easter celebrations, the paper published a piece downplaying the idea that Christianity is under attack, claiming rather “the vast majority of terrorism victims globally are Muslims.” Analysis: Sri Lanka church bombings stoke far-right anger in the West https://t.co/seWuJwgzwG — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) April 22, 2019 The piece also went on to warn the bombings in Sri Lanka are stoking far-right anger in…

The tally of the Sri Lankan bombings on Resurrection Sunday now stands at 290 people with around 500 more wounded (many of that number include Sri Lankan Christians).

Apart from some formal condemnations from countries such as Indonesia, the Muslim world remains largely silent. While there are live updates from news organizations, including CNN, there’s no…

A senior analyst for the International Crisis Group has warned that Sunday’s Islamic terrorist attacks will feed the sentiment that Muslims are a problem and a threat that needs to be dealt with. Speaking to LBC presenter Eddie Mair, academic Alan Keenan said, “this sentiment has been developing over the last five years, cultivated by a radical militant group of Buddhists, including some monks. Keenan went on to warn, “if strong action isn’t taken and the right messages aren’t sent by the government leaders and religious leaders of all groups, there’s a real possibility of further violence.” Speaking on NPO…

CNN’s Brian Stelter has attacked President Donald Trump for a typo in a condolence message the President tweeted to the victims of Sunday’s terrorist attack in Sri Lanka. The President’s tweet, which has since been deleted, unintentionally included the word “million”, saying the terrorist attack “killed at least 138 million people…” Stelter suggested it’s not “just a typo”, because “accuracy matters”. “If someone can’t get the little stuff right, it makes you wonder about the big stuff. It makes you worry about the big stuff,” Stelter went on to say. “In this case, it makes you wonder about the President’s…

More than 200 people have been killed during Easter celebrations in Sri Lanka after a series of coordinated Islamic terrorist attacks were carried out targeting Christian worshipers.

Christians in Sri Lanka, similar to Muslims in New Zealand, are a minority. Christians make up just over 6% of the population in Sri Lanka, behind Buddhist, Hindus, and Muslims. In both attacks, a minority group was the target. In both attacks, the victims were targeted in…

Some time ago I took up a detailed exchange on twitter with a lady who had proudly stated that she was cutting out “hate the sin” from the phrase, “love the sinner, hate the sin”. She was happily proclaiming her decision to stick with ‘’love the sinner’’ because this was apparently more biblical. Her post won her a few retweets and likes, but I disagreed and gave good reasons for doing so. The biblical imperatives such as: “Let love be genuine, abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good” (Romans 12:9) mean that there is a distinction between…
