Foreign Minister Penny Wong went to the United Nations last week, and berated the Middle East’s only liberal democracy for ‘not playing fair'. While it’s a given that everyone wants peace, the Israelis might be well advised to ignore everything our government says.

The West Australian Labor government has been called out in some fiery exchanges in Parliament regarding their “urgent” actions in ramming through an extremely controversial gender identity bill that allows males to self-identify as women.

The pressure to cave into the standards of the surrounding culture is always with us. But we must dare to be Daniels.

Australia’s Capital Territory is considering a proposal to expand its voluntary assisted dying scheme so that those with reduced mental capacity can consent to their death by euthanasia.

There is so much in this parable for each of us. It instructs on how we can experience the Father’s prodigal love in our own lives. And the parable teaches us how to show mercy in our families and churches.

Apart from having the highest death rate, Queensland also has the title of the first coronial inquest into a wrongful death under its euthanasia laws. 

Let us ask for the impossible together. Pray for the revival, repentance and reformation of our morals here in Australia.

The Australian Government’s Covid vaccine injury compensation scheme ends today, leaving anyone injured by the ongoing administration of these vaccines without a safety net.

Up to 2,000 people gathered on the steps of the South Australian Parliament House to voice support for Ben Hood’s bill. If passed, the bill would uphold the right to life of babies in their third trimester, a move blasted as “extreme right-wing”.

There is a growing polarisation of society, and it is not coincidentally growing with the suppression of Truth and pride in sin. We are divided by false doctrines and suppression of the Truth.

The Costs Protection Bill is not innocuous. It could have serious consequences for religious institutions. It is not about minor procedural adjustments. It will inevitably lead to vexatious complaints. The Labor Government has aligned itself with radical critics of religious belief.

Section 28 is part of NSW Labor’s hastily written and poorly debated 2024 domestic violence revamp. According to the law, the custodial parent has the right to make decisions about the child’s identity. This means a sole parent has total control over a child’s name and surname.

Sexual abuse – a result of a failure of sexual integrity – wrecks lives. The award-winning documentary “Humble Hope” gives hope for healing for those suffering. Please join us in praying for a restoration of sexual integrity this October.

First, those in charge of adjudicating what is and is not misinformation are sometimes wrong, resulting in the censorship of true information. Second, there are harms associated with the suppression of true information.

Most of us know there is a draft bill before the Parliament with a verbose title: Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill. Its name alone should tell us something smells. The answer to bad speech is MORE speech, not less.

A major point of a digital ID is not to identify yourself, but to track and trace your every move. As always, it is about control; it is about Big Brother keeping an eye on you and making sure that we all stay in line and remain subservient to the all-powerful State.

From our initial analysis, we have significant concerns. While the Misinformation Bill is an improvement on the previous iteration, and provides some protections for religious speech, it still puts the power of censorship in the hands of unaccountable private corporations.

Family First is officially back. After being voluntarily deregistered as a political party in 2017, the party that began life in March 2004 has re-entered politics in 2024. The Australian Electoral Commission approved Family First’s application on 20 September.

Legislative council member Ben Hood will today introduce a bill into the South Australian upper house seeking to prevent the deaths of viable babies killed through late-term abortion.

As with bits of most government legislation, the Misinformation Bill is worded in such a way as to sound quite innocuous and safe – even helpful and necessary. But that is so often not the case, and the opposite outcome is what we must fear.
