There is no perfect political party, as we are still dealing with fallible men, we are not yet under the perfect & just rule of our Lord & Saviour, who will establish His rule soon on earth.


Theologically, Christians should expect every political movement to contain both partial truths and deep distortions. Why? Because every human system remains shaped by both common grace and human fallenness. That means no party, ideology, or nation can ever fully embody the kingdom of God.


In the meanwhile we still have a task to do. How are you or will you be voting? If you are voting for any other party than One Nation, than you are not making the best choice. Even some of the more "conservative" parties, senators & MP's have mostly also turned against Israel.

Standing Firm on Israel: Pauline Hanson’s Rising Influence in Australia


Pauline Hanson, leader of One Nation, has consistently positioned herself and her party as a clear and vocal supporter of both the Jewish community in Australia and the State of Israel. Her public statements, parliamentary actions, and policy positions have repeatedly centred on themes of security, opposition to antisemitism, and unwavering alignment with Israel.


In public commentary, Hanson has emphasised the right of Jewish Australians to live free from fear and discrimination. She has stated: “I stand with Australia’s Jewish community… you have the same right to live in peace and harmony as all Australians.” She has also spoken directly about safety concerns, saying: “I am standing up for the Jewish people in this country… I fear for the Jewish people.” These remarks are not abstract, they speak to real and growing concerns, and they are delivered with a level of clarity that cuts through.


At a policy level, Hanson has backed formal recognition of antisemitism, including support for parliamentary motions referencing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition. This reflects a willingness to move beyond rhetoric and support practical frameworks aimed at identifying and addressing antisemitic conduct.


A defining moment came in May 2024, when Hanson wore an Israeli-flag scarf in the Senate as a visible act of solidarity. The scarf was ruled “unparliamentary” and she was asked to remove it. Hanson made it clear this was deliberate - she was “standing up for the Jewish people” and calling attention to what she described as rising antisemitism and inconsistency in how political symbols are treated in parliament. For many observers, this was not just symbolism, it was a statement of intent.


Beyond that moment, Hanson has maintained a consistent and unapologetic alignment with Israel, including criticism of Australian governments when she believes they have failed to show sufficient support. She has stated it is “quite evident” when leadership “does not support the Israel people.” That consistency, over time, has reinforced her position as a predictable and reliable voice on these issues.


At the same time, her broader political message is gaining traction. Recent polling in early 2026 has shown One Nation polling strongly, in some cases above 20%, with certain surveys indicating even higher peaks. This marks a significant shift from historical levels and reflects a growing appetite among voters for clearer, more direct political messaging. The party’s support is not isolated, with gains evident across multiple states, including Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia. In the 2026 South Australian election, One Nation translated this momentum into tangible results, securing seats and recording vote shares exceeding 20%.


From my perspective as a Jewish Australian, Hanson’s voice clearly resonates. At a time when concerns about antisemitism are increasingly front of mind, her willingness to speak plainly, act visibly, and maintain a consistent position carries weight. It is not just what she says, but the fact that she continues to say it, without ambiguity or retreat, that stands out.


Taken together, Hanson’s statements, policy positions, and actions, including the Israeli scarf incident, reflect a sustained emphasis on security for Jewish Australians, recognition of rising antisemitism, and support for Israel. From my perspective, that clarity and consistency make her a compelling and credible voice on issues that directly impact the Jewish community.

We didn’t vote them in.

Let’s stop pretending we did.

When a party forms government with around 34% of the primary vote, that is not a clear mandate. That means two-thirds of Australians did not choose them as their first preference.

They didn’t win because most Australians wanted them. They won because the system shuffled preferences until someone was left standing.

That might be legal, but don’t insult people’s intelligence by calling it consent. Australians are told, “You voted for this.”

No, we didn’t.

What we’re watching now isn’t representation, it’s procedure. A system where power is handed to a minority and then defended with technicalities. A system where parliament increasingly feels less like the voice of the people and more like a very expensive buy, swap, and sell marketplace.

Votes traded for deals.

Support exchanged for amendments. Backroom agreements while everyday Australians are locked out of the conversation.

And once they’re in power, they govern like they have a blank cheque, pushing through laws, limiting debate, and acting shocked when trust collapses.

Democracy isn’t just about ticking a box on election day. It’s about legitimacy. It’s about consent.

It’s about the majority actually having a say.

When governments rule with a third of the vote and silence dissent through procedure, people are right to question whether the system is working for them anymore.

So no, don’t say “we voted them in.”

We didn’t.

And the more they ignore that reality, the more Australians will stop believing this system represents them at all.

BREAKING: THREE ISIS brides arrested for slavery on arrival in Melbourne and Sydney as four women + nine children (13 total) touched down this afternoon.

AFP Assistant Commissioner Stephen Nutt just confirmed at a special press conference.

The charges are damning:

• Kawsar Abbas and daughter Zahra Ahmad (Melbourne): enslavement, possessing a slave, using a slave, and engaging in slave trading.

• Janai Safar (Sydney): entering a declared terror area and membership of a terrorist organisation.

These women chose the ISIS caliphate.

They married its savage fighters, raised children under the black flag, and allegedly lived in households where Yazidi women and girls were bought, sold, raped and owned as “spoils of war.” Yazidi survivors gave evidence of being held as personal slaves by their husbands.

This is medieval Islamist barbarism, supremacist, violent, and totally incompatible with Australia.

Albo lied when he said “if you make your bed, you lie in it” and promised no help for their return.

Now they’re here.

Tony Burke, whose Watson electorate is full of Muslim voters in Lakemba, has overseen the whole thing while Labor chases those votes.

What’s worse is three of the children are already teenagers, brainwashed from birth to hate us and fight for the same death cult.

This is national betrayal and cultural suicide.

Enough is enough.

Shut down radical mosques.

Arrest those who support fundamental Islam.

Deport non-citizens involved.

Ban Muslim immigration.

Australia must choose: our values or their barbarism.

The rage is justified.

We must act now before it’s too late.

First, they came for your wallet.

Now they're coming for your freedom.

Right now, a Bill is moving through the Australian Parliament that should terrify every freedom-loving Aussie. It's called the ASIO Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025.

It already passed the House of Representatives. The Senate is about to vote on it.

What does it do?

 Makes ASIO's "extraordinary" coercive questioning powers PERMANENT — removing the sunset clause that's existed since 2003.

 Lets ASIO compel Australians, including children as young as 14, to answer questions under threat of penalty.

 Expands the grounds for these warrants to include vague new categories like "promotion of communal violence," which is language so loose it could mean almost anything a future government decides it means.

 Strips away the requirement for Parliament to review these powers every three years.

The Law Council of Australia OPPOSES this Bill. They warned Parliament these powers "were never intended to be made permanent."

Liberal Senator Alex Antic warned: "This Bill doesn't just extend extraordinary powers, it makes them permanent. Every Australian who values freedom under the law should be paying attention."

But here's the part that should shake you to the core:

Back in 2003, when these exact same powers were first introduced, one Labor MP stood up in Parliament and said this:

"Its provisions potentially allow for the mistreatment of ethnic minorities, the suppression of dissent, and the detaining and investigation of wholly innocent Australians."

That MP's name? Anthony Albanese. The same Anthony Albanese who is now making those powers PERMANENT.

He warned us about these powers. Then he became Prime Minister. And now he's locking them in forever.

This is who he is. This is what they all do. They campaign as defenders of freedom, then they hand the security state a blank cheque the moment they get the keys.

 Cost of living crushing your family.

 Mass migration changing the country without your consent.

 And now... permanent secret-police powers being waved through with bipartisan support, while Australians are too exhausted to notice.

We don't have to wait until 2028 to get rid of this government. We can act now.

We are demanding the dissolution of Parliament and an immediate federal election. NOW.

Before this Bill becomes permanent law. Before the next "misinformation" push. Before there's nothing left to vote for.

 Comment "ENOUGH" if you remember when Australia was free

Albanese warned us about these powers in 2003.

In 2026, he's the one bringing them down on your head

Australia has less that 2 weeks to stop this lying Labour Government from ramming their draconian tax changes through the Senate and becoming law.

The Australian newspaper is waging a war against Pauline Hanson and One Nation.

Why? Because it wants to protect the system. And that system requires the Liberal Party as the defender of the old liberal economic order.

Week after week. Article after article. Warning after warning.

One Nation is dangerous. One Nation is chaotic. One Nation doesn’t understand finance.

You know what they never write?

Why are millions of Australians moving toward One Nation in the first place?

Here’s why they won’t ask that question.

The Australian can pressure the Liberal Party. It can shape Liberal thinking. Liberal MPs read it. Liberal staffers read it. Liberal leaders still pick up the phone when it calls.

But Pauline Hanson doesn’t answer to them.

One Nation doesn’t need their approval.

And that drives them absolutely mad.

For 40 years The Australian has backed the same liberal economic model which they style as “productivity” and “reform.”

Mass migration. Big Australia. Cheap labour. Endless population growth. Globalisation. Corporate convenience. And the quiet promise that if GDP goes up, everything else will sort itself out.

Here’s what that model actually delivered for ordinary Australians:

 Housing your kids can’t afford

 Power bills you can barely pay

 Groceries that cost more every month

 Roads more congested than ever

 Hospitals under pressure

 Wages that go nowhere

But sure. GDP is great.

That is why One Nation is rising.

Not because Australians have become extremists.

Because millions of Australians are tired of being told to shut up and be grateful while the people making the decisions and commenting on them live in a completely different Australia.

These millions of disaffected Australians have questions that The Australian would rather not have asked.

Questions like…

Who benefits from mass migration? Who pays the price?

Why are Australian homes treated like assets for the world rather than shelter for Australians?

Why does every “reform” make life harder for the people who built this country?

Why is the point of economic growth if my income stagnates while costs continue to climb?

Once enough Australians start asking those questions out loud, the system begins to shake.

And One Nation is now asking those questions.

That’s why the attacks keep coming.

Pauline Hanson, Barnaby Joyce and company are now a clear and present danger to institutions like The Australian who thought they controlled the right side of politics in Australia forever.

And they are a threat to the economic order that The Australian champions; an economic model that has failed to deliver for so many everyday Australians.

They are a threat to the system.

So the system is lashing out.

In nature, we call this the death throes.

Share to send a message to the mainstream media that their attacks won’t stop your support for One Nation.

The more I watch Australian politics, the more I think we're witnessing something much bigger than just the rise of One Nation.

Every time Labor, the Liberals, Nationals, Greens, the media, or the political establishment launch another attack on Pauline Hanson and One Nation, their support seems to keep growing.

Why?

Because many Australians have simply had enough.

Enough political spin.

Enough being told what they're allowed to think.

Enough of politicians talking about everything except the issues that affect ordinary people every day.

For decades, Australians have watched governments come and go, promises made and broken, and yet the same problems seem to get worse. Housing affordability. Cost of living. Congestion. Pressure on infrastructure and services. Energy costs. Community safety.

Many Australians feel that the major parties are no longer listening.

What we're seeing isn't unique to Australia either. Across the Western world, voters are turning away from traditional political establishments and looking for alternatives. In the United States, Donald Trump tapped into that frustration. In Britain, Nigel Farage and Reform UK have done the same. Across Europe, establishment parties are facing growing challenges from movements that argue they are speaking for ordinary citizens who feel ignored.

Whether commentators like it or not, there is a growing number of people who believe politics has become disconnected from common sense and everyday reality.

Many Australians are questioning policies around immigration levels, government spending, bureaucracy, identity politics and diversity initiatives. They aren't necessarily looking for radical change. They're looking for practical solutions and a government that focuses on the basics.

They want our women and girls to be safe in female spaces and in female sports.

Anyone who votes One Nation can describe ‘What is a woman’.

And speaking of basics, many Australians are asking why our education system seems to be moving further away from them.

Parents want children to leave school with strong literacy and numeracy skills. They want reading, writing and arithmetic taught thoroughly. They want students to understand Australian history, Western civilisation, democracy, our institutions and how our nation was built.

Reasonable people can disagree about history, but many Australians are concerned that too much emphasis is placed on teaching young people to view Australia's past only through the lens of guilt and division. My own view is that while our history contains mistakes and injustices, Australia has become one of the most successful, peaceful and prosperous nations on Earth, and that achievement should be recognised and appreciated as well.

Many Australians are also frustrated by what they see as endless red tape and green tape slowing down development, infrastructure and food production. We all want clean air, clean water and a healthy environment. Most Australians support sensible environmental protections.

But there is growing concern that ideology has begun to outweigh practicality.

Farmers face increasing regulations. Infrastructure projects take years to navigate approval processes. Water security projects and dams that previous generations would have built are debated for years or never happen at all. Meanwhile, populations continue to grow and pressure on housing, food production, energy and water supplies continues to increase.

While on population, most of it is because of excess immigration, and yes, the burka should be banned in public.

Australians don't want to choose between a healthy environment and a productive economy. They want both.

That's why One Nation continues to attract support from people who once voted Labor, Liberal and National.

It's not because Australians have suddenly become extreme.

It's because many feel the political class has stopped listening.

Agree or disagree with Pauline Hanson, one thing is becoming harder to deny: a growing number of Australians believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, and they're looking for a different path.

The political establishment can keep attacking One Nation if it wants.

But if the concerns driving voters toward One Nation aren't addressed, those attacks may simply convince even more Australians that the old parties still don't understand why people are walking away from them.

Biblical and Moral Reasons for Rejecting Socialist based parties (which almost includes all parties in Australia)

Modern socialism/progressivism present themselves as compassionate, enlightened, and morally superior. They promise “equity,” “inclusion,” and “social justice” but beneath the appealing slogans is a worldview that is hostile to God, his created order and his authority.

This hostility is often disguised as compassion. Sin is reframed as freedom; rebellion is rebranded as progress and moral confusion as enlightenment. And many Christians, rather than discerning the deception, have embraced it.

The tragedy is that many believers today appear to have been discipled more by progressive universities, woke media and activist/political movements than by the Word of God.

Our Allegiance is To Christ, Not Politicians

Many professing Christians support and vote for political parties who openly celebrate what Scripture condemns. Some even stand as candidates for these parties, justifying it by appealing to economics, climate action, welfare programs, or perceived government “compassion.”

Then they expect our support because Christians should support Christians, right?

No. A profession of faith is not the ultimate test; what they support, enable and refuse to oppose is the test; their fruit is the test.

  • “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition… and not according to Christ.” Colossians 2:8

  • You will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:16

Tolerating Evil

How much evil are we willing to tolerate, excuse and empower for the sake of a preferred party, a smooth-talking candidate, a government benefit, or a social issue?

How long are we going to support or remain silent about:

  • Abortion —even up to birth

  • Gender ideology and the mutilation and sterilisation of confused children

  • Attacks on biblical marriage

  • Sexual immorality

  • Censorship of Christian conviction

  • The indoctrination of children

  • Open borders

  • The worship of “mother” earth?

What will it take to bring us to our knees in humility, weeping and repentance?

Abortion is not a political issue; it is not “health care;” it is murder. It is the intentional taking of an innocent human life. You cannot claim to follow the Author of Life while standing with those who strive to destroy it.

Scripture is clear; God condemns shedding innocent blood

Transgender ideology is not compassion either; at its core, it rejects one of the most fundamental truths revealed in Scripture: that God created humanity male and female.

  • “So God created man in His own image… male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27

We can love those struggling with confusion, but love does not require affirming falsehood. Christians cannot faithfully follow Christ while empowering political parties and movements that normalise the destruction of the unborn and confuse children about who they are.

Socialism Replaces Biblical Stewardship and Accountability with Dependence on the State

The Bible teaches stewardship, work, responsibility, personal accountability, and voluntary generosity. Socialism/progressivism teaches dependence upon and obedience to a centralised power. The two are polar opposites.

Scripture says: “If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10

Socialism says: “The government will provide for you” — with forced redistribution, creating a culture of perpetual dependence.

Biblical charity is voluntary and flows from transformed hearts, not coercion by an ever-expanding state.

  • “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7

Socialism devalues the family unit – God’s design for the flourishing of humanity. Note how the 2026–2027 Budget continues the prioritising of institutional childcare over parental choice.

The result: confused children, weakened families, sense of entitlement, resentment, division, dependency, and the expansion of ungodly state power that increasingly demands affirmation of what God explicitly calls sin.

Open Borders is Not Compassion, its Chaos

The Bible affirms that nations have borders; God created the nations when he confused the languages at the tower of Babel (Genesis 11).

Socialism demands the elimination of borders and the formation of a “global family” — the very idea God demonstrably opposed.

While Scripture commands compassion for the stranger — it also commands respect for the laws of the host nation, for order and national boundaries — for adherence to faith in the God most High. Open-border policies are leading to the dilution of Christianity, exploitation of migrants, human trafficking, national instability, lawlessness and a strain on families and communities.

This is not God’s design. It is not compassion — it is negligence.

God Changes Hearts, Socialism Changes Systems

The gospel transforms people from the inside out.

Socialism strives to transform society from the outside in according its own standards and godless ideologies.

One trusts the power of God. The other trusts, and enforces, the power of the state above all else.

“But there is No Perfect Party – We Only Have Limited Choices”

Brothers and sisters, limited choices do not remove moral responsibility, but Australia’s preferential voting system effectively removes this common excuse for supporting parties that promote anti-Christian policies. We repeatedly hear that voting for Christian or morally conservative parties is “wasting” our vote. It is not.

Preferential voting means your vote is not discarded simply because your first-choice candidate does not win. It allows Christians to vote according to their convictions first while still allocating preferences afterwards, without forfeiting their influence in the final count.

Importantly, it sends a message — we will not reward parties that murder the unborn, indoctrinate and mutilate children and practice open hostility to biblical truth.

If believers continue voting the same way out of fear, habit, or political tribalism, despite having this alternative, then the problem is not “limited choice” — the problem is the posture of the heart; the fear of losing political comfort more than the fear of dishonouring God.

  • “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.” Proverbs 29:25

Finally, we are not called to control outcomes; we are called to be faithful. God is sovereign over nations and kings. He raises and removes authority as he chooses (Daniel 2:21). Let’s stand firm in faithfulness until Christ returns and leave the outcome to him.

Our vote should say: “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15
