Throughout the Western world, many are becoming increasingly concerned at the burgeoning “Red-Green Alliance”. For the uninitiated, the “Red” refers to the radical left—those who are Marxist in ideology and practice. The “Green” refers to political Islamists. At first glance, the two ideologies are entirely incompatible. However, there is one distinct area of symmetry between the two: the remaking or, in many cases, the destruction of, society. At present, the US and I

Anybody who understands the social pulse of Australia knows that the State of Victoria is the most socially progressive of Australia’s states and territories. Although many Victorians see that as positive, when it means the introduction of laws which directly oppose God’s principles governing life, believers see it as wicked. Victoria’s current (and 50th) leader is Premier Ben Carroll. He has only held the top job for a few months after winning the leadership of the Vict

Those familiar with Australia will know that it is often affectionately called “Down Under”. The origins of the name are obvious. Being located deep in the southern hemisphere, Australia is “down” and “under” almost all other land masses. Yet, there is also a spiritual parallel to this geographic description. Australia is going down spiritually and is suffering under deception, particularly that deception which manifests in Jew-hatred. Unfortunately, in recent weeks, Aust

When it comes to the legal obligations of individuals and institutions, there is a well-known principle called “duty of care”. To meet duty of care obligations, individuals and institutions must take all reasonable steps to prevent harm, avoid injury and ensure the safety and wellbeing of others. Because these obligations are intended to protect the welfare of others, duty of care obligations may be seen as generally positive. However, there is an obvious tipping point w

In our modern day, the inventive genius of man has perfected a machinery of communication which, through speeding up and extending the influence of information and ideas, has given propagandists an efficient system to bombard the masses with their message. However, the rise of generative AI has now filled the information space with a new, unique and somewhat unwanted form of propaganda: slopaganda. Slopaganda is a portmanteau. If that makes no sense to you, let me break i

Have you ever noticed that there is a predictable pattern used by the media to introduce moral panic throughout a nation’s population? Enemies are cast, fear and anger swells and swift retribution against the offending party is demanded. Of course, like any good tale, it begins with a villain. Charles Perrault is widely considered the father of the fairy tale. His most famous works include Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots and Little Red Riding Hood. It is said

Australian writer, Richard Flanagan, is a celebrated novelist and historian, notably receiving the Booker Prize for one of his works of fiction. As a journalist, he has written for various Australian and international publications, including Le Monde, The Daily Telegraph, The New York Times, and The New Yorker. Yet, in spite of the fact he is clearly a gifted writer, his latest non-fiction work should in fact be filed under the category “nonsense”. From the 20th to the 30

As we are all familiar with, most Western societies divide power into three distinct branches: the legislative, the executive and the judicial. Focusing on the judicial branch, the role of our courts is to decide on cases brought before the court by interpreting and applying the law ensuring that, particularly in the area of criminal law, the appropriate penalties are handed down. However, for the court system to function as designed, judges should at all times remain impar

Although it remains a confusing and somewhat vague idea, across the Australian political spectrum we have recently seen the rise of a newly favoured phrase: “social cohesion”. Because Australian politicians are now using it with such regularity, it is helpful to understand what it means to the ruling class, how they propose to achieve it and how it is measured. Broadly speaking, social cohesion has been described as the “glue” that binds society together. Or, if you desi

As recently reported, Australians huddled around their devices on the evening of 11 August 2026 to complete the census. Although the results will take time to tabulate, many are impatiently awaiting the results of one key question in particular: What is the person’s religion? Although this is an optional question on the census, secular groups have invested significant resources in urging Australians to tick the “no religion” box. Why? Because they argue that the number of

According to Australia’s Bureau of Statistics, in 2025 there were 4,160,918 students enrolled across 9,673 schools. The majority of those students were enrolled in government schools (62.8%), followed by Catholic schools (20.0%) and independent schools (17.2%). Although the government does not keep detailed statistics on homeschooling rates, it is estimated that there are approximately 45,000 to 48,000 children being homeschooled across the nation. The biggest rise in home

On 29 July 2026, the church that I pastor played host for the Brisbane leg of a tour of Australia by Amir Tsarfati and Pastor Barry Stagner. On that blessed evening, over 1,000 people gathered together for praise, powerful preaching, prayer and of course, photos with these two beloved servants of God. Even though we hired a large venue for the evening, seating was limited. This meant that, sadly, many missed out on being able to attend. One such person who was not able to

Australia has recently welcomed a new Israeli ambassador. Taking over from Amir Maimon (who served as ambassador to Australia from 2022 to 2026) is Dr Hillel Newman. Prior to his current role, Ambassador Newman served as Senior Policy Advisor to the Knesset (2024–2026) and as Chief of Policy Staff in the Bureau of Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs (2023–2024). Although these credentials alone qualify him for the role, Dr Newman also holds a PhD in Jewish history and ser

Australia, like many Western nations, has softened its stance on abortion in recent years. Each of the States and Territories in Australia have the power to determine their own laws and although there are slight variances in the laws, most allow abortion at around the 22-week mark. In summary:- Queensland: abortion was only decriminalised in December 2018 and is available on request up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. Abortion is permitted after 22 weeks but two doctors must ag

In response to the Bondi Beach terror attack in Australia, there is an ongoing Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion. As part of the information gathering exercise, representatives from the Royal Commission have devoted five days to examining crucial information concerning antisemitism in Australian universities, including:- Lived experiences of antisemitism and its impacts on Jewish students and academics at Australian universities. Responses by universiti

In Australia, the body which is responsible for investigating complaints made about registered health professionals is the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra). On 17 June 2026, Ahpra released a statement which read, in part: “Ahpra has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism as a reference tool, supported by the Special Envoy’s handbook to support a consistent understanding of antisemitism in its contemp

Around the world, public institutions seem to have a problem with prayer. Well, more specifically, they have a problem with Christian prayer because they hate anything that actively opposes their vision of a society where they get to write the rules. This is why, even though many Western governments have tolerated the model prayer of Matthew 6, they bitterly oppose the suggestion that God’s kingdom should come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. On 26 March

Recently, I had the opportunity to appear on Worldview Matters with my beloved brother in the faith, David Fiorazo. In the interview, we discussed how secular progressivism, which largely rules the thoughts of the secular left, is antithetical to a Biblical worldview. To understand the age in which we live, it is important to understand the ideas behind secular progressivism and, more importantly, what its aspirations are. After all, whether the majority of people realise

When God created mankind, He also established a relationship amongst humanity which we would come to know as the parent-child relationship. Humanists would argue that this relationship exists largely for the purposes of reproduction but we know that this relationship extends far beyond biological processes. God’s intention for the family unit was for parental authority to restrain the sin nature in the child as the child grows in the understanding of God and His commandment

Within Christianity there is an ongoing debate as to whether artificial intelligence should be openly invited to play an important role in our daily spiritual walk. Though there will be solid arguments on both sides of the debate, let me offer some thoughts in the key areas of wisdom and dependence. Wisdom There is no doubt that life is complex and in order to navigate the serious financial, emotional, physical and spiritual decisions that we are faced with daily, we nee
