The text, drafted by Predrag Fred Matić, a Croatian Socialist MEP, also claims the "conscience clause," which allows doctors to abstain from the killing "on grounds of religion or conscience," leads to the "denial" of medical care and "endangers women's lives and rights."

"For political power-brokers to use unfounded accusations in the media to seek to discourage members of a church or faith group from party membership or political participation is shameless religious discrimination."

In his maiden speech to the South Australian Legislative Council on April 4 2021, the young Greens member Robert Simms made a series of radical statements which ought to signal to Christians that paying attention to state politics may be more important than ever. Simms’s speech was a litany of progressive, even socialist, talking points, claiming “we need to confront the economic system that is destroying our planet and our communities.” Of particular interest was his stated intent to see the parliament take action in “banning conversion therapy, and ending religious exemptions that allow discrimination of LGBTI people.” What exactly that means is unclear....

Hatred, or more generously put, disdain for Christian homeschoolers rears its pernicious, snarky head every year in one way, or another. The main combatants are from the Left. They fire vitriolic salvos over the walls of their sheltered cloisters of higher learning into an area of education they view to be harmful. They view it as harmful because the general curriculum used by most Christian homeschoolers is classically based, which is, generally speaking, loathed by the Leftist hegemony....

The UK government has made it easier for people to change their 'gender' by moving the process online and reducing the fee from £140 to just £5.

Tolerance used to be defined as the ability to respectfully engage with others, even if you disagree with what they say. Nevertheless, it is clear that the new ‘tolerance’ is far less about encouraging deferential dialogue, and far more to do with controlling speech. We witness this shift in the authoritarian regimes around us. Specifically, we see the idolatry and weaponization of the notion of ‘tolerance.’ The failure to celebrate the doctrines of secularism is deemed as intolerance, and those who dare to question the status quo are increasingly being dismissed as…...

Criticisms from former Labor Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, aimed at Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison’s Christian faith, are asinine, petty, and hypocritical. In response to Scott Morrison’s speech at an Australian Christian Churches conference in April, Rudd told the ABC’s 7:30 Report, “The idea that anyone leading a political party could believe that it is ‘God on our side,’ is just the stuff of real danger in my view.”...

Could Rudd’s hypocrisy be any more blatant? He condemns Scott Morrison for bringing “religion” into politics but was not averse to using God in his 2006-2007 election campaign.

Former Australian Labor Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd is, as usual, talking about things he knows very little about, but being vague enough to make it difficult to catch him out. In his latest article for the Guardian, he implies in the first paragraph that the Federation fathers debated on whether to give organised religion some role in government. This is utter nonsense, and anyone remotely acquainted with the debates knows it....

"The only way to separate religion and politics in a country with millions of religionists, and many who wish to go into politics or political lobbying, is basically by removing the civil rights of religious people, and removing any possibility that they can have any influence in politics at all."

A couple of weeks back, a brother in Christ from South Africa was chatting to me about how the church he was planting didn’t have any musicians. Growing up in a rural Presbyterian church that had no instrumentalists, I understood his struggle. Without musicians, churches are left to three options: (1) backing tracks; (2) MIDI files; or (3) no musical instruments....

Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison has rejected identity politics and cancel culture in a speech delivered to the United Israel Appeal Dinner, in Randwick, NSW.

Su***de. Yes, I’m OK, but that's the subject. There’s been a bit of it around lately. Did you know that if you are a male between 25and 55-ish you are more likely to die by taking your own life than from a heart attack or smoking or car accident? Twenty-one years ago, when ‘Dads in Distress’ kicked off, a bit over 2,000 Australians every year took their own life....

Policing is a complex issue and one that is often misunderstood. The bridge that exists between civilian and law enforcement can often seem rocky and broken. There is no denying that police aren’t void of shortcomings and that there are areas that desperately require reform. However, the current cultural narrative that suggests police are the ultimate branch of evil is sadly misplaced and often formed based on a lack of understanding. ...

Australian Senator, Amanda Stoker, has, according to reports from The Australian, directly criticised a plan to infuse an antiracism campaign by The Australian Human Rights Commission with Critical Race Theory.

It was ***anVisibilityDay on the 27th of April and if you missed it – well – that’s probably going to be deducted from your social credit score when Labor take power at the next election.

As someone who has spent a number of years working in an aboriginal community in outback NSW, the well-being of aboriginal peoples is of great importance to me.

Silicon Valley is yet again proving that they’re an anti-democratic monopoly, willing to ban, block, boot, and blunt the voice of democratically elected representatives.

The calming of the storm is becoming a distant biblical memory in the lives of Catholics in Parramatta. Their spiritual leader and shepherd, Bishop Vincent Long, has recently released a pastoral letter to his flock commenting on NSW’s Education Legislation Amendment (Parental Rights) Bill 2020 which was introduced to the state’s parliament by One Nation’s the Hon. Mark Latham. Bishop Long speaks of ‘concern for the wellbeing of students and their families', as he attempts to speak with ‘sensitivity, compassion and truth, acknowledging at all times the dignity of each person.’ This is all very noble speech....

Students at a Melbourne high school have been publicly shamed in front of their peers for being white, Christian "oppressors." According to reports, Parkdale Secondary College, in Mordialloc, was visited by a social worker from the local Kingston Council last week who delivered a presentation on privilege and intersectionality.
