THE adoption of an abortion law so extreme it sanctions the killing of any innocent who dares survive has been greeted by a standing ovation in the Senate. That was the New York State Senate, not Australia’s. But a standing ovation greeted the introduction (by a man) of a hitherto secret abortion bill rammed through the NSW Parliament in 2019.
STATE politicians have continued their hysterical response to Coronavirus – instead of easing their approach as the germ became better understood.

GOVERNMENT funding has been withheld from a Christian organisation because its views on marriage are deemed non-inclusive. The grant application from Victory Life Church to assist purchase a refrigerated truck to distribute food to Perth’s homeless was rejected due the views of its founder, tennis great Margaret Court.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has intervened to force radical energy policy into law – against the wishes of voters and the advice of experts.
Her demands to rush through NSW Energy Minister Matt Kean’s 100 per cent renewables “roadmap” – without first releasing cost modelling – succeeded last night with the backing of Labor and The Greens.
