In September 2024, the Miles Labor Government passed its Respect at Work and Other Matters Amendment Act into law. Its most contentious anti-discrimination provisions were due to commence in July 2025, but the incoming LNP Government paused full implementation after the ACL raised serious concerns with the Attorney-General’s office regarding the impact on churches, Christian… Read More

The Victorian Legislative Council is more than just the Upper House—it’s the House of Review.  It scrutinises legislation, holds the Government to account, and often determines whether controversial laws pass or fail.  This term, no party has held a majority in the Legislative Council. As a result, the Government has relied on crossbench parties—including the Victorian Greens, Legalise Cannabis Victoria and… Read More

A university health clinic in Perth is now offering chemical abortions to the public and training its student midwives to provide them. That should stop us in our tracks.  Curtin University’s Midwifery Clinic, run out of its health sciences faculty, has begun offering medical abortion using the MS-2 Step regimen. The service is delivered by… Read More

A man convicted of violent offending is fighting in the courts right now for the right to be housed inside a Western Australian women’s prison. Two years ago, this would have sounded like a hypothetical. Today it is a live legal case, and it is a preview of what Labor’s Gender Self-ID legislation makes far… Read More

Last week, Kirralie Smith lost her appeal in the NSW Supreme Court. Her offence? Criticising males playing in women’s soccer. I can’t overstate how outrageous this decision is. Not only is it yet another denial of reality, but the sum involved is extraordinary. According to John Steenhof from the Human Rights Law Alliance, successful vilification… Read More

This week, the NSW Law Reform Commission released its second major consultation paper as part of its review of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977. How this Act is written matters because it impacts protections for religious freedom in our state for both Christian organisations and individuals. This is especially true for our Christian schools, churches, and… Read More

On 23 April 2023, the ACT Government proudly announced it would be the first jurisdiction to fund abortion. Canberran women would be able to access free medical abortion up to nine weeks and surgical abortion up to sixteen weeks. The Government committed more than $4.6 million to taking innocent lives.   Since that day, my conservative estimate is… Read More

Early this morning, Queensland Health discontinued every disciplinary proceeding against Dr Jillian Spencer. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency dropped its investigation into her social media posts. After three years, her name is clear.  ‘I’ve been exonerated,’ she said. ‘My name has been cleared, and I can hold my head high.’  Many of you have followed her story since 2023, because we… Read More

While Canberrans struggle with soaring housing costs, grocery bills and power prices, the ACT Government has found another priority for taxpayer dollars.  From 1 July, it is now free to change the sex recorded on ACT birth certificates and other identity documents. Applicants can also choose from a wide range of gender descriptors, provided they meet a… Read More

In 2023-24, Queensland recorded fewer than 10 domestic adoptions, despite more than 12,700 children living in out-of-home care. This is not because there are no children needing permanent homes, nor because there are no families willing to provide them. It is because the current system is burdened by delay, duplication, and unnecessary red tape.  ACL is advocating for… Read More
