Prophetically, I believe Australian remote communities will experience an outpouring of the Holy Spirit as believers gather to repent, forgive and seek His face in humility.

After 2000 years of virulent holy hatred, Judeophobia, genocide, expulsions, blood libels, ghettoisation, rejection, ridicule and demonisation, the world has not been able to cast off the shackles of innate antisemitism.

A key concept in Hamas’ ideology is “occupation”. In the discussion offered here, I am not going to offer insights into international law. My concern is with the ideology of occupation.

We are holding a Kristallnacht event by Zoom tonight to commemorate the stand by Aboriginal Christians William Cooper and the Australian Aborigines’ League against Kristallnacht in 1938 with a protest march to the German consulate in Melbourne.

It is impossible to understand Hamas without engaging with the concepts of “Palestine” and “Palestinians”. The meaning of “Palestine” is complicated. It has changed over the years, and it is disputed and controversial.

In front of 1500 conference attendees, I spoke about the recent referendum and the importance of moving on from victimhood and blame towards being a more unified country. 

When Stan Grant complains that the Voice was “so inoffensive people found it easy to say No to,” all he does is demonstrate that he still doesn’t get it!

If they reckon this is their country, that Australians have acted shamefully, and they are not interested in being part of our nation, then I reckon it’s time to stop indulging their failures, and they should pay for their Voice themselves.

Do they want all non-Indigenous Australians to leave Australia? And what about those of mixed heritage? Do they stay or go?

We live in a divided world, from the conflict in the Middle East to the defeated Voice to Parliament. As I’ve thought about the various issues, here are 10 of my reflections on the Voice, and on the Israel situation.

Clearly, large swathes of the media are still coming to terms with the democratic result. Warren Mundine though, was having none of it.

One of the realities that has not been taken into account sufficiently is that Australia is not really a "white" country in any meaningful sense. It is a multicultural country.

Advocates de-platforming an Aboriginal Elder’s voice, while simultaneously platforming an Aboriginal Voice to Parliament, says it all.

There was no draft legislation to lay out what a Voice would look like, what it could and couldn't do, and whether its members would be elected or selected. Rightly, Australians' good sense raised multiple worries as the Yes campaign proceeded.

On Tuesday, fully 100 per cent of Government senators (Labor and Greens) refused to support an inquiry into the sexual abuse of Indigenous children.

It beggars belief that the overwhelming public rejection of the proposal to create a Voice within the Federal Constitution has not resulted in the SA Parliament removing this structure from the State Constitution.

We have an opportunity now for a change of direction in race relations in Australia, and we need to make it a positive change.

On referendum day, a confrontation between an older white Yes campaigner and an Aboriginal No voter turned ugly.

Australia emphatically rejected enshrining an Indigenous Voice to Parliament advisory body in the constitution at the weekend’s referendum, with a 60/40 split for No vs. Yes.

The Australian Capital Territory was the only jurisdiction in the country where a majority of Australians voted for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
