Australia’s Largest Christian News Site

Dissenters opposing Iran’s hardline hijab mandate face having their bank accounts frozen, prison, or worse, if they fail to comply with what is being framed as a public health order. The 1979 Islamic dress code, which has been a catalyst for massive pro-civil liberty demonstrations [...]

Despite an overall swing against Victoria’s incumbent ALP, Daniel Andrews was comfortably returned to government, while the Liberals were routed. Before the election, the ALP held 55 seats (a majority of 14) and the Coalition 27, Greens three, and two were held by independents. Although [...]

A conservatism that focuses on individual freedom as the supreme virtue can only undermine Christianity, in the long run. If you emphasise freedom from government overreach, then it is a small step to seeing the need to free individuals from the reach of religion. The [...]

News.com.au's takedown of former Prime Minister Scott Morrison's faith is groundbreaking journalism. Not. The headline read: Scott Morrison “has a God complex” and recited the Bible in meetings, new book claims. Whoa. This’ll be good, I thought. I couldn’t wait to read it. Can you [...]

The ABC and RMIT’s CheckMate fact check has "debunked" a claim it attributed to Binary Australia in the lead-up to the Victorian election. Binary spokeswoman Kirralie Smith demanded a formal apology, and the ABC later backtracked. In an embarrassing episode, the ABC’s fact-checking service, CheckMate, [...]

Some are saying the Victorian election result was rigged. It wasn’t. This isn’t Arizona. The only reason someone could be shocked at the Victorian election outcome is if they misjudged Australians to be freedom-loving. Aussies like freedom, but they don’t love it. They can live [...]

Freedom is being thrown away in the West while being fought for in Communist China. The contrast could not be greater: while sheepish and servile crowds are well on the road to serfdom, happily voting in dictators in Victoria, in China, the crowds are bravely [...]

Bad news in Victoria -- yet, though earthly governments may fail, we look to our eternal hope in the Lord. Saturday night was not a good one for Christians, for conservatives, and for those who value freedom, family and other key values. The short story [...]

Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek announced that Australia is a land of droughts and flooding rains. Referring to the government’s “State of the Climate” report, she said: “Dry periods will get longer, and bushfire season will get hotter. At the same time, the rain periods will [...]

With the ongoing censorship of health professionals, how can we truly trust their medical advice? I was recently accused of lying. This was a little hard to swallow, as it was over a directly referenced quote. At the same time, I found the accusation understandable. [...]

The NT parliament is currently considering amending the Anti-Discrimination Act so as to end an existing provision that allows “religious educational institutions to discriminate against staff based on their sexuality”. This would mean people who do not share the beliefs or values of a faith-based [...]

As the dust starts to finally settle on COVID-19 -- and life begins to get back, at least somewhat, to ‘normal’ -- I’ve been reflecting on what has happened over the past couple of years. What are the lessons which we, especially Christians, need to [...]

Over the last 20 years, I have seen a lot of people come into the men’s movement with big promises and even bigger egos. Mostly they blow in, blow up and then blow out. Sadly, they often hurt other men in the process. I don’t [...]

Considering how to organise a nation with cohesive values that promote human flourishing, Wolfe puts forward a strong case for Christian nationalism. This is actually my third article on this volume, and I expect more will be forthcoming. Being a lengthy book with careful argumentation, [...]

The public arena is not neutral -- rival religions are competing for hegemony. We are told -- at least in theory -- that in the West all points of view are welcome, and they can be argued for in public forums. This may have been [...]

by Robbie Katter Much has been said about the moves afoot across Australia to provide special recognition and rights to First Australian peoples. Many will ask what such approaches really mean and may have wondered, as I have: will this really make a difference? In [...]

In 1976, American psychiatrist Karl Menninger gave an unintentional treatise on how concealed sin is killing the West. He declared, ‘We have lost our sense of history.’ With it, the West has lost any ‘sense of morality’, sin, responsibility, identity, and moral integrity. Sensing Truth [...]

Thoughts on the election results. Late counting is still underway in the American mid-term elections, but by now we know fairly clearly how things have panned out: there was not a massive red wave for the Republicans as many expected, but there were some gains [...]

A more honest headline for The Atlantic’s recent demand for amnesty over the pandemic response would have been: “Sorry, Not Sorry.” The sarcasm best represents the article’s smug sentiment. Author and economics professor Emily Oster inferred that we should just sweep the rubber bullets, totalitarianism, [...]

If Netball Australia had any decency, they would reject Dan Andrews' $15m sponsorship offer. The Victoria Premier promised to fill the void left by Gina Rinehart’s decision to end an agreement between Hancock Prospecting and Netball Australia. Rinehart tore up her agreement with the sport [...]
