While polarisation here in Australia isn't as bad as in the US, we’re not immune from it. Both non-Christians and Christians are increasingly quick to judge and slow to listen. And from what I’ve seen and experienced, we struggle to disagree agreeably. It’s a dying art.

Trump recently told scientist-turned-podcaster Lex Fridman, “If you’re religious, you have, I think, a better feeling towards your own mortality... Without religion, there are no guardrails. I’d love to see us get back to religion, more religion in this country.”

I believe that despite the current conflict between Hamas and Israel, there is indeed hope for Gaza. The Scriptures give us hope for a remnant from Gaza that will one day live peacefully among Israelis.

On 20 March 2024, Robbie Katter, MP for Traeger and leader of the Katter’s Australian Party, introduced the Termination of Pregnancy (Live Births) Amendment Bill 2024, widely known as the “Queensland Babies Born Alive Bill”.

Anti-life activists and MPs are so ideologically addicted to unfettered abortion access and the dehumanisation of babies in the womb that they are willing to reject the humanity of certain babies outside the womb as well, born alive after failed abortions.

Months after former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews sensationally forfeited the 2026 Commonwealth Games, citing cost blowout, making Victoria an international laughingstock, his replacement, Jacinta Allan, is bidding for Victoria to host the 2030 Gay Games.

The Albanese Government has abandoned plans to include questions about sexual preference in the Census in order to preserve social cohesion. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the decision to ditch LGBTQ questions was about “avoiding nastiness”.

The decision by Beijing to lift its restrictions on the import of Australian wine is pleasing, but much of the resultant celebration is misplaced. Australia should come to a realistic understanding of the capricious nature of the Chinese regime.

The shock hasn’t worn off for pro-lifers, who continue to watch with dismay as Donald Trump and his Catholic running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), seem to publicly disavow years of conservative principles on the unborn.

While Labor continues with its firm aversion to nuclear power, Australia’s neighbours in Southeast Asia are exploring it as an alternative source to reach their clean energy goals.

Trump’s 2024 Right-to-Life reversal is unliked, even though it might appear reasonable from his point of view. The image of the bloodied former president, rising with fist in the air, saying, “Fight, fight, fight,” echoes his duty to fight for life.

In this article, I want to address questions and concerns some folks might have about the US elections, and the two main teams. Specifically, what might we think about Team Trump, including his new backer, Robert F. Kennedy Jr? Polarisation is running hot as ever on this issue.

In a move many conservatives and Christians find devastating, the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance are walking further away from their pro-life base.

Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg has admitted he censored Americans during the pandemic and hid the Hunter Biden laptop story in the lead-up to the 2020 election. It’s a pity “hindsight” won’t bring back two years of lost opportunity.

David Closson and Joseph Backholm tackled some of the themes from this year’s DNC, including the promotion of abortion through all nine months of pregnancy and the party’s definition of freedom and personal choice.

A Muslim group awarded charity status in the recent budget has warned senators of the legal risk of condemning the anti-Israel “river to the sea” chant and claims Labor has abandoned its own senator, Fatima Payman, over her allegations of genocide in Gaza.

Doubling down on Dutton derangement syndrome (DDS), Jim Chalmers has insinuated that the leader of the opposition is as dangerous as a domestic terrorist.

Life-long Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr has now ended his presidential bid and has thrown his support to Donald Trump. That should shake up the American election a bit.

We should do what we can within reason to inform and protect vulnerable individuals, but on no basis have the lockdowns, media hysteria, vaccine mandates, and vilification of those who opted not to have a COVID-19 vaccine been in any way justified.
