Australians lose more to online gambling than anyone else in the world. Online gambling is tearing Australian families apart. It is fuelling addiction, domestic violence, poverty, financial hardship and suicide, yet the Federal Government's proposed reforms still leave major loopholes wide open. Children and young people are being bombarded with gambling ads during sport, while gambling companies continue using incentives designed to lure vulnerable Australians into betting. Australia needs stronger laws that put people ahead of industry profits. Join us in calling on the Australian Government to: • Introduce national regulation of online gambling. • Ban gambling advertising during live sport and children's viewing times. • Prohibit gambling inducements that encourage harmful betting. Take action today and help protect Australian families: acl.org.au/campaigns/stre… #ACL #truthmadepublic #Auspol

Every Australian state should ban the use of puberty blockers for children immediately. Enough is enough. Common sense told us long before the science began catching up: children should never be given drugs to halt their natural puberty. The Northern Territory and Queensland have already restricted the use of these medications in their public health systems. Why are the remaining states still delaying? In South Australia, Hon. Corey Bernardi MLC has introduced a bill to prohibit this practice. If you live in South Australia and believe children deserve better protection, write to your MP today. Every day these treatments continue, more children risk being placed on a pathway of irreversible medical intervention and significant psychological distress. For years, activists claimed that denying puberty blockers would lead to higher rates of suicide among children experiencing gender distress. Yet systematic reviews point to increased risk of suicidality for children who take puberty blockers! This is a matter of life and death. Children deserve protection, not experimentation.

Thank you @SenatorCash for standing for truth in your attempt to introduce the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Restoring Common Sense and Recognising Biological Sex) Bill 2026. The majority of Australians are with you. We are appalled that Labor and Greens shut down the Bill (again) from even being debated. 3 attempts have been made to correct the mistake that Labor made in 2013 when they wrote a lie into legislation. One Nation- first, The Nationals- second, and now the Liberals. Everyone can see it, except Labor and the Greens. They say that protecting female only spaces from men who think their women is too 'divisive'. But most Australians want to see female spaces remain female only, biologically that is. Labor and Greens may think this is a 'culture war' issue that won't resonate with the electorate. The polls will tell a different story. How can we trust a Government who can't even define the fundamentals of human biology to make laws for our country? Male and Female matters. The votes will speak. 🔁 @SenatorCash #ACL #truthmadepublic

Thank you to @SenatorAntic for courageously tabling the Australian Christian Freedom Index report in Parliament and giving a voice to thousands of Christians who feel their freedoms are steadily being eroded. The findings should concern every Australian who values freedom. More than 10,000 Christians were surveyed, with 92% saying it is now riskier to express Christian beliefs than it was just five years ago. Many reported experiencing hostility, discrimination, or being overlooked for opportunities simply because of their faith and values. No one should be pressured into silence for holding Christian beliefs. Freedom of religion and freedom of speech are cornerstones of a free society, yet too many Australians feel they must censor themselves to avoid backlash. Thank you, Senator Antic, for shining a light on this growing problem and standing up for the right of Australians to live and speak according to their convictions. #ACL #truthmadepublic #Auspol

Pauline Hanson is showing her courage once again, by attempting to introduce a bill to restore the truth about male and female in the Sex Discrimination Act. Her 'Acknowledging Biological Reality' bill would have removed all 'gender identity' provisions, making it clear that there are only two sexes. Labor and Greens shut down any debate- not only shutting down Pauline Hanson, but shutting down all Australians who want to see the truth of male and female restored in law. #ACL #truthmadepublic #Auspol

One school's courage can change the conversation. By clearly affirming biological reality in its enrolment policy, St Joseph's College has done more than protect its own Christian identity. It has shown other schools that they don't have to remain silent. An all-boys school cannot fulfil its purpose without defining what a boy is. Parents deserve that clarity, and schools should be free to uphold it. This isn't just a faith-based issue. Recognising biological sex should be common sense across all areas of public life. We hope more schools will have the confidence to follow St Joseph's example. #ACL #truthmadepublic #Auspol

Common sense is making a comeback! St Joseph's College's decision to clearly define itself as an all-boys school by requiring students to remain biologically male has sparked little media backlash- that says something significant. The majority of Australians want to see single-sex spaces protected.  They simply don't buy into the belief  that believing in two sexes is 'discrimination'. It's not. It's the truth. We thank the media outlets who reported on the beliefs of most Australians and we thank the Coalition's Shadow Education Minister Julian Leeser for publicly backing the school's policy. St Joseph's has simply made clear what it means to be an all-boys Christian school. Parents deserve that clarity, and schools should be free to uphold sex-based enrolment policies without fear of ideological pressure. The more people who are willing to speak up, the easier it becomes for others to do the same. #ACL #truthmadepublic #Auspol

Thank you Maryka Groenewald MLC for raising important questions about the findings of the Australian Christian Freedom Index in the Western Australian Parliament. The report found that 92% of Christians in Australia believe it has become riskier to be a Christian, with many feeling increasing pressure to stay silent about their faith. As governments consider changes to anti-discrimination laws, it is essential that the fundamental freedom to live out and express one's faith is protected. We welcome the government's recognition of the valuable contribution Christians make to our communities and its commitment to ensuring any changes to the Equal Opportunity Act are fair and balanced. Religious freedom is a fundamental right that must be protected for every Australian. #ACL #truthmadepublic #Auspol

Well done to St Joseph's College for standing firm in its Christian identity. Parents deserve clarity about the values of the schools they choose for their children. When families enrol in a faith-based school, they should be able to trust that it will remain faithful to its beliefs and educational mission. More schools should follow this example, particularly girls' schools, where clear, sex-based policies are essential to protecting the privacy, safety, and fairness of female students. Schools should never be forced to abandon their convictions to satisfy shifting ideological demands. #ACL #truthmadepublic #Auspol

This week, hundreds gathered outside South Australia's Parliament to stand for those who have no voice. Together we called on our elected representatives to recognise that every human life, born and unborn, has inherent dignity and deserves protection under the law. While this bill did not become law, it marked a historic milestone. For the first time, legislation to restrict late-term abortion passed an Australian upper house. We thank Family First MLC Sarah Game for introducing this bill, every MP who voted in support, and every person who rallied, prayed, contacted their representatives, and stood with us. The movement for equal protection under the law is growing. We remain committed to the day when every baby, born and unborn, is recognised and protected. @ProfJoannaHowe @birdfliporg @prolife_hp_aust

This weekend, we have three documentary screenings taking place across the country! If you're in Melbourne, Adelaide or Alice Springs, this is your last chance to register for a special screening of this powerful documentary.

Pauline Hanson called it out. Clearly and authoritatively. She exposed the AIDS Council of NSW, creators of the Australian Workplace Equality Index. Most government departments have signed up. What’s the aim? To embed radical gender theory in the workplace. She said: “Yet we have every instrument of government dedicated to a transgender ideology which seeks to redefine humanity… This nonsense must end”. We agree with her. She said “it’s in schools… it’s infecting all of society… it is explicitly subversive and that there seems to be no boundaries… it has become part of the propaganda being imposed on kids in classrooms”. She continues “This transgender movement is a militant force throughout society and must be confronted…. This movement like militant Islam is everywhere and seeks to redefine humanity and biology and in this way change the nation. It won’t happen if I have any say in it.”

One day Australians will recognise a baby is a baby- in and out of the womb. But tragically that time is not now. Though we lament the result, we strive towards a future where the most vulnerable human beings receive the same protection in the law as every other human being. We thank Family First MLC Sarah Game for this bill and for her bold stand for truth. The bill got through the Legislative Council by 1 vote, a significant step forward. We also commend every MP who voted to support this bill. In the lower house:
Peter Malinauskas, Ashton Hurn, Sam Telfer, David Pisoni, Jason Virgo, Robert Roylance, Tom Koutsantonis, Michael Brown and Chantelle Thomas. In the upper house:
Sarah Game, Nicola Centofanti, Clare Scriven, Tung Ngo, Dennis Hood, Ben Hood, Heidi Girolamo, Cory Bernardi, Rebecca Hewett and Carlos Quaremba. Thank you for your willingness to defend the dignity of every human life. Though this bill has fallen, the movement for equal protection under the law has taken an important step forward, and we will continue working towards the day when every baby, born or unborn, is recognised and protected. #ACL #truthmadepublic #abortion

We have uncovered evidence that six babies were born alive following abortion procedures in the Northern Territory and subsequently died. For almost two years, we sought access to information about babies born alive after abortion. While NT Health repeatedly refused to release the data, we discovered it within annual reports published by the Northern Territory Child Deaths Review and Prevention Committee. The NT Coroner has confirmed that these figures refer to live-born children who died following a termination of pregnancy and do not include stillbirths. The records indicate that: - Two babies were born alive following abortion and died in 2021. - Two babies were born alive following abortion and died in 2017. - One baby was born alive following abortion and died in 2013. - One baby was born alive following abortion and died in 2012. These findings add to the known case of Jessica Jane, who survived for one hour and twenty minutes after being born alive following an abortion in 1998. We are calling on the Northern Territory Government to introduce legal protections for babies born alive after abortion, ensuring they receive the same care and protection afforded to every other child. This discovery comes as we host screenings of Born Alive, Left to Die across the Northern Territory as part of a nationwide campaign to secure legal protections for babies born alive after abortion. If you are in Alice Springs, we encourage you to attend our screening of Born Alive, Left to Die on Saturday 20 June at 1pm at Alice Springs Cinema. This powerful documentary examines the evidence surrounding babies born alive after abortion and explores why legal protections are needed.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST! Today, South Australia's Parliament is considering a bill to ban late-term abortions after 25 weeks. Please pray that MPs' consciences would be moved and that they would recognise the humanity of these babies. This is not an ideological issue. It is not a political issue. It is a human life issue. No baby should lose their life through abortion, but surely we can recognise the profound injustice of ending the life of a child who is capable of surviving outside the womb. Pray for courage. Pray for wisdom. Pray that truth will prevail. Most importantly, pray that vulnerable babies will be protected. #ACL #truthmadepublic #chooselife #pray
