Statists love to ramp up fear and panic to control the masses: We live in an age in which most governments are simply running with one crisis to the next, and are resorting to rule by fear. What better way to control the masses and [...]

Many Australians affirm mandatory vaccination without considering the implications. But no matter how you look at it, vaccine passports are an ethical disaster. A year ago, mandatory vaccines were almost unimaginable, the stuff of science fiction. Now vaccine passports are being presented to us as [...]

I am strongly against vaccine mandates, even though I am a healthcare worker who intends to get vaccinated. Here’s why I think mandatory vaccines are a bad idea. On 9 August, Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced a sweeping vaccine mandate, requiring all state and healthcare [...]

Various faulty assumptions are driving Australia’s public policy on vaccines. The latest data suggests that we should reconsider our course. The wheels are falling off the “vaccines are our our ticket to freedom” argument. It is becoming clear that the Covid vaccines are “leaky”. They [...]

The fall of Afghanistan is a real worry indeed: It has happened so quickly. Kabul is fallen. The Taliban have captured the capital of Afghanistan and President Ashraf Ghani has fled the country. The US Embassy there has been successfully evacuated, and some fighting is [...]

Freedom is precious. But under lockdown, too many Australians have forgotten the meaning of liberty; the real definition of freedom. In truth, freedom comes from God, not government. In New South Wales, all eyes were on Premier Gladys Berejiklian last Thursday when she announced an [...]

There has been an uptick in searches for ‘ivermectin tablets’ and ‘ivermectin for humans’ as people explore treatment options for COVID-19. Here’s what are the experts are saying. With more and more people asking search engines about ‘ivermectin tablets’ and ‘ivermectin for humans’, it is [...]

For decades, ‘My body, my choice’ has been a mantra for those defending abortion. Given that it is the mother, not the father, who is tasked with carrying a baby to full term, it is understandable for there to be significant debate over the rights [...]

Matt Canavan and George Christensen have risked their reputations to speak up for suffering Australians. Their parliamentary speeches on lockdowns are worth listening to. In any age, it is difficult and costly to push against the majority viewpoint on an issue and take a principled [...]

Why are we not being told this? With far too many governments and political leaders pushing pure panic porn and hysteria about Covid, and far too many happy to gain ever more power and control by exploiting a crisis, we are seldom getting reliable information [...]

The ALP has traditionally been the voice for working Australians -- a voice it must now use so working Australians can keep their medical autonomy. All Australians want a safe exit from the crisis that has plagued our nation these last eighteen months. And while [...]

Wilcannia: a case study in unforeseen problems and decades of ongoing political incompetence. New South Wales is now in the middle of a state-wide Covid-19 lockdown, which poses a major threat to Aboriginal communities across the state. One case study, Wilcannia in western NSW, highlights [...]

God's favour is always with us, even in the midst of suffering and trial. These are certainly trying times for the Body of Christ, what with the ongoing restrictions due to the pandemic, and there seeming to be no end in sight, particularly for those [...]

by Tim Clark. Somewhere, a few thousand feet beneath the waves of the South China Sea, there are a dozen or two helicopters. If an expedition came across them, they might believe that there was some great battle that had been fought in those waters. [...]

Why was the LGBT flag flying over the US Embassy in Kabul during Pride Month? The tragedy unfolding in Afghanistan is unsettling on so many fronts. We grieve for the women, children, Christians and other minorities left behind, all of whom now face an uncertain [...]

We really must resist harmful and counterproductive lockdowns: While much of the rest of the world is opening up, Australia is heading in the opposite direction, with each of the fiefdoms (states and territories) trying to outdo each other in the race to see everything [...]

We sure do need watchmen, even though they are unwanted: Because natural disasters can always break out, we have in place various early warning systems to alert us to possible dangers and catastrophes such as tornadoes, avalanches, earthquakes or tsunamis. If these systems work well [...]

Jesus told us to pray for our persecutors. This week, that means praying for the Taliban. This week, I have felt physically ill as I’ve read stories and seen the videos and photos coming out of Afghanistan. I can’t begin to imagine the terror awaiting [...]

When the United States formally withdraws from Afghanistan on September 11, 2021 -- yes, on the 20th anniversary of al-Qa’ida’s terrorist attacks on the US -- the country will immediately fall back under the control of the Taliban. Tragically, the most devastating impact will be [...]

Pain stinks, but it can often serve useful and redemptive purposes: OK, my title can go in all sorts of directions, and in a moment I will discuss some spiritual truths about pain. But my title may cause some to think of something similar. Back [...]
