OMG! I'm in tears šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Gerard Rennick positions himself as ā€œAustralia First,ā€ but the party he’s collaborated with for years, the Australian Citizens Party, which he nearly merged with earlier this year, doesn’t look very Australia First. Just look at the flags flying above their Muslim candidate office: Australia, Lebanon, Palestine, and Turkey - a huge financial and ideological supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood! That’s because Rennick and the Australian Citizens Party are not Australia First. They are pro-China, Russia, Palestine, and Islam in general, and their ticket is essentially ā€œIsrael bad.ā€ How original! šŸ˜…

I participated in the anti-Vietnam War and anti-conscription movement of the late 60s and early 70s. I opposed Australian and US involvement in the war but did not support the Communist leadership of the Vietnamese resistance because they were clearly going to institute a one-party state. I was critical of my own government but did not support its violent overthrow. Some in the movement however did support the Communists and did support the violent overthrow of capitalism and, especially in the US, this took the form of the terrorist organisation -the Weather Underground - that carried out numerous bombings. I am worried that history is about to repeat itself, only more dangerously this time. While I support the call for peace in the Middle East and am critical of the policies of both Trump and Netanyahu, there is a line that I think the pro-Palestine movement must not cross but are in great danger of doing so. The calls for the destruction of Israel, the glorification of the authoritarian, terrorist, Islamist groups Hamas, the blanket condemnation of ā€œZionismā€ and calls to ā€œglobalise the intifadaā€ (both of which imply that any Jew around the world who supports the state of Israel is a target) all buy into a narrative that fails to notice when red lines get crossed. I greatly fear we will see the emergence of home-grown terrorism in the coming period from a small minority who have bought this narrative and crossed the red line into violence.

So I’ve been very reluctant to post about this, as it’s deeply personal, but about a week ago I converted to Christianity. I tried very hard to convince myself otherwise, but I kept having this nagging sensation that I couldn’t shake off, like someone was calling my name just out of earshot. I’ve had very complicated feelings about God for as long as I can remember, and have gone back and forth between atheism and a deep anger for years, but for some reason the anger has disappeared. The world is still a mess, and the amount of suffering is still unfathomable, but instead of being angry at God, I’m feeling this…pull instead. Not towards any specific denomination, but towards Christ. I’ve always been the kind of person who needs proof, and while I’ve wanted to believe for a long time, I was never able to get from ā€œI wish there was a loving Godā€ to actually believing in one. I don’t know what’s made the difference; there was no blinding moment of revelation. There’s just this call that I can’t ignore any longer. Every time things get quiet, I feel it tugging at me — gently but implacably. I’ve been reading CS Lewis, and the first four books of the New Testament, and while I have no plans to start going to church, or to change the focus of this account, I’ve stopped trying to convince myself that I’m imagining things. I never expected to feel this way, but I do, and denying it any longer would be wrong.

This video from @abcnews encapsulates how vile Consent ideology is. The leftist creeps who came for my husband with false allegations of r*pe last week are obsessed with this debauchery. Note the two overriding principles expressed in the video: (1) Affirmative consent is all that is required for any sexual act to be acceptable. (2) Education is required before sexual acts, thus laying the groundwork for sexual grooming in schools. That this ideology is advanced and normalised on the taxpayer-funded national broadcaster is another reason to add to the long list of why the ABC must be abolished.

If Mehreen Faruqui is elected leader of the federal parliamentary Greens and cannot come out immediately and condemn Hamas, support a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine and criticise the use of the anti-Semitic slogan ā€œGlobalise the Intifadaā€, then the Greens are finished.

A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures. The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019. A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years. Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture. The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment. Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls. "Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded. Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls. The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges. The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway. How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

šŸ«—Poured about 20 years of my life into the Liberal Party despite its failings because I thought I was serving the greater good. I hope they can be reformed- but child safeguards and the neglected West don’t have time to wait. So- it’s time to get up, dust myself off and keep moving forward. @LyleShelton thanks so much for being a man who stands up for women and children and respects our boundaries!! #FamilyFirst #Politics #SexNotGender

Today I stood looking directly at the Parliament building in London, believers gathered to pray and repent for the state of this nation…and just a short while ago, MP’s have voted down the assisted suicide bill…there’s a glimmer of hope for our country…its moral compass is on life support…but it’s not dead…!! Thanks be to God…!!

This is wild. Evidence has emerged that Sudan’s Armed Forces developed and used chemical weapons during the war. Just imagine for a second this report was about Israel. Emergency UN meetings. Protests across the West. Celebrities losing their minds. Wall-to-wall outrage. But Sudan? šŸ¦—šŸ¦—šŸ¦— It was never just about ā€˜human rights’. nytimes.com/2026/09/05/world…

Dear people still talking about a 'Gaza genocide'. Can you point to a single other "genocide" in all of recorded history where: a) The targeted population grew larger every year with thousands of births monthly, b) The targeted population refused at any time to surrender, c) The genocidal party provided mass humanitarian aid, d) The genocidal party warned the target population to move to safety, e) The targeted population of the genocide held victory parades, f) The genocidal party had the ability to wipe out the entire targeted party from the air without a single military casualty but intentionally chose not to do so, g) The genocide abruptly stopped with a ceasefire agreement, h) The target population produced hundreds of medical students who completed their university studies and graduated during the genocide. Any one example will do. Don't even need specifics. Just one. I'll wait.

The attacks from Chalmers and Albanese on One Nation have become increasingly desperate. Yesterday they crossed a line. No matter how worried Jim and Albanese are about losing their jobs, telling Australians that their democratically elected opponents are ā€œdangerousā€ and a ā€œthreat to our countryā€ invites people to treat them as a threat. Words have consequences. That is how political violence is incited. The murder of Ann Widdecombe in Britain should be warning enough about the dangers of poisonous political rhetoric. Anthony Albanese says we need to turn down the heat and violent rhetoric in our political discourse. Meanwhile, he and his Treasurer are pouring petrol all over it. Australians are entitled to vote for One Nation without being told by the Treasurer and the Prime Minister that their democratic choice is a danger to the nation. The real danger is that Jim and Albanese's incompetent economic management will continue to push your rent, your mortgage and your bills even higher. The real danger to Jim and Albanese is that the people of Australia are coming for their government… at the ballot box.

I’ve spent many weeks doing fieldwork in Tibet, sitting above these enormous, deeply incised Himalayan river systems and seeing firsthand just how geologically active this landscape is. So spare me the climate-change grift every time a natural disaster strikes. Catastrophic glacial outburst floods are not new. The 1981 Zhangzangbo GLOF released ~20 million m³ of water and debris into Nepal, with estimated peak discharge approaching 16,000 m³/s. The Himalayas experienced enormous GLOFs long before today's atmospheric COā‚‚ concentrations. If it happened naturally in the past, we should expect it to happen naturally again in the future—regardless of atmospheric COā‚‚. Turning a horrific loss of life into an immediate climate-change narrative without demonstrating that COā‚‚ caused this particular event isn't attribution. It's opportunism. And the people exploiting tragedy to do it are grifters.

The Swan's captain states we need to put a mirror up "to all men within society" and there must be an apology to "all women in the community" for the actions of the Pullman 5. Wake up to Woke, all men are not guilty and all women are not victims. Reality check, please.

One Nation OPPOSED the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025. 26 YES, 15 NO. Senators Alex Antic and Andrew McLachlan were the only Coalition members to vote no. This Bill was passed because the Liberals and Nationals abstained. If they had opposed the Bill, it would have been defeated. Gutless!

Absolute state of this. Young lad purchases a baseball bat in "Modern England". As soon as he leaves the store, police grab him for "carrying a weapon". The bat is literally still in it's plastic covering.
