The Australian Christian Lobby is deeply concerned by the NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian confirmation that she is likely to vote for an abortion exclusion zone bill that, in her own words, is ‘flawed’.

Queenslanders have again voiced strong opposition to any efforts to liberalise abortion laws, with almost 12,000 signing the latest parliamentary petition.

The Australian Christian Lobby cautiously welcomed news today that Australian Wallabies player, Israel Folau, has not been disciplined for making social media comments expressing mainstream religious beliefs.
