As Communist China becomes increasingly belligerent and exerts its control across the globe, we need to prepare our defence and strategic industries to avert a hostile takeover. At present, Australia is in no shape to keep the CCP at bay by itself. Since World War [...]

Though they may not make the headlines, let us not forget the poor souls losing their lives to the military junta of Myanmar. Places of worship are being destroyed across the country; food supplies and humanitarian aid are blocked. The CCP-backed military is killing innocent [...]

Finally, a win for freedom of conscience and religion in Finland, in the long-drawn-out case of principled politician Päivi Räsänen. Prosecuted for a hate crime after stating Biblical views about marriage on social media, Räsänen has at long last been vindicated in a court of [...]

This Easter as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are reminded of the need for Freedom of Religion more than ever. Freedom of religion is a universal human right to be protected for the benefit of all -- but particularly those of the [...]

This Saturday's SA election is our chance to hold them accountable and elect leaders who will stand with society's most vulnerable. Voting for Life in the SA Election The South Australian [...]

As the New South Wales Parliament debates the Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) Bill, we review why euthanasia and assisted suicide are fundamentally wrong, eroding our society's care and concern for the elderly, disabled, mentally ill and vulnerable. As I write, the Parliament of New South [...]

A review of how the Religious Discrimination Bill came to an ignominious end, with lopsided media coverage and emotive claims. Last Monday, many well-informed Christians thought Australia might have a Religious Discrimination Bill by the end of the week: a bill that would enshrine common-sense [...]

What is happening in Canada right now is shocking. How will the nation recover from Trudeau's heavy-handed governing? Concerned citizens are being crushed with state control. The disease destroying Canada right now is liberalism in general -- and Trudeau in particular. The despicable treatment of [...]

We must resist Big Brother assaults on the church. Mask mandates are not a reasonable excuse to interrupt a service. Would police have dared to interrupt another religion's sacred time of worship? Tyrants always target churches. These thugs know full well that churches are a [...]

The Citipointe debacle is a sobering revelation of where conservative Australian Christians stand in terms of our ability to forthrightly express our basic beliefs within our own institutions. Religious freedom is now a second-tier right in Australia. This is the obvious conclusion from the controversy [...]

Even those who think the vaccines are safe and ethical are wary of the widening divisions in society caused by governments imposing mandatory vaccination, curtailing employment, business and socialisation.

What the light from the Hanukkah menorah is really meant to illuminate. Hanukkah is supposed to be a minor Jewish holiday that comes in the early winter -- a way for Jewish kids to feel better about not having Christmas. In fact, of all Jewish [...]

Does religion oppress women, or liberate them to live with deep meaning and purpose? A new study undertaken by Harvard University suggests the latter. Author Margaret Atwood’s novel (and now TV series) The Handmaid’s Tale is a dystopian story set in the near future, when a [...]

Christianity is the world's most persecuted religion, yet Senator Lambie does not recognise the need to preserve the freedom of our religious institutions to maintain their identity and character. If you still don’t believe that religious freedom is under threat in Australia, then consider the [...]

The one-sided campaign that Australia's national broadcaster is waging against the religious discrimination bill is a disgrace, argues James Macpherson. Soon they'll be telling us that religious freedom will kill koalas, cause climate change, and create new Covid variants. It's only a matter of time [...]

Encouraging Christians to let their faith shape the political realm, God's Not Dead: We the People is an inspiring movie about religious freedom that every Australian Christian should see. No doubt you’ve seen some inspiring Christian movies over the years. Our personal favourite is ‘Amazing [...]
