What you may not know about the Pro-Abortion Movement

In our view Australian people are having to fight for their unborn baby's life, a foetus' life has become devalued very fast and now there is the real chance that newborn babies will soon have to have their parents\' fight for their right to life. .

  • The medicalisation of Sadness

    I recently went to a talk by Dr Neel Burton, a psychiatrist at Oxford University, on "Anatomy of Melancholy: Can depression be good for us?" It was interesting in that he stated what many people in the medical and psychiatric field seems to be feeling: sadness is now seen as a disease.

  • Too true of a line from one of our famous poems

    Dorothea MacKellar's 'My Country' is a timeless piece of poetry about Australia. She sums up in a few paragraphs everything about our country and what makes it so special.

  • "Mental Altitude" - Does my attitude line up?

    I was recently listening to one of the lecturers here at the Worldview College, and the lecturer was explaining quite a profound metaphor concerning our attitudes towards life – using aeronautics! Allow me to share it with you...

  • Abortion: the false dichotomy

    The media are running red hot at the moment with an article about ethicists who have proposed the idea of 'after birth abortions' and the public backlash has been enormous. To a degree, I understand the public backlash, as it seems almost beyond comprehension to suggest that we should kill a baby after they are born, but it has got me thinking about why ethicists would think this reasoning is at all ethical.

  • Two becomes One

    In exactly one week my little sister will be getting married. And it couldn't come soon enough! Planning a wedding is a little like riding a rollercoaster; there are many, many highs and some very deep and dark emotional lows. The ride is often a bumpy one; there will be meltdowns and there will certainly be tantrums. The wedding rollercoaster lifts you up and shakes you around and before you know it you are safely deposited you on the ground nursing a swirling headache and a very delicate stoma

  • A quote for Olympic hopefuls

    There is one inspirational quote I wish I had heard during my competitive athletics days. Perhaps it will assist those who are vying for Olympic selection in the weeks and months ahead.

  • The day Facebook died

    The day I put my Facebook account to rest in peace, became a day of freedom. There is something about this social networking entity that is not right. For some, Facebook is very important. People use it to keep in contact with relations and friends abroad or to find people from the past. They pop a status on now and then or check what others are up to, play games, chat with friends, share pictures. Life does not happen without Facebook and if they can't log in, depression sets in.

  • What are Australia's Greatest Sporting Events: Melbourne Cup? State of Origin?

    Aussies love their sport. Our weather, culture and outdoor lifestyle are perfect breeding grounds for watching and playing sport. So what are the highlights of Australian Sport? What are the events that stop the nation? This is the perfect "watercooler" conversation or discussion around dinner.

  • Why go to extremes?

    I had a friend visiting recently and during conversation she casually mentioned that her husband was running 125km through the outback of Australia next weekend. This type of comment should stop conversation mid-flow. Who chooses to run 125kms and why? That type of distance is more akin to a distance you would travel by car, not by foot! However, increasingly this type of extreme activity is becoming common place amongst thrill seekers who are pushing themselves to extremes.

  • Evolutionary thinking is not the way

    For the past year, I have been visiting a physiotherapist for rehabilitation of a knee injury I sustained. As they described how a knee should correctly function and that the muscles around or above my knee also play an important role in its proper function, I couldn't help but think how intricate and astounding the human body is. It was then that the physiotherapist made the comment - "You know I'm not a religious person or anything but I look at how amazing the human body is and I can't imagin

  • Beginning the Journey Home

    During the Christmas holidays (2011) my family travelled 5500km from Alice Springs back to settle on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. The first leg of our journey was a 688km trip to the opal mining town of Coober Pedy, South Australia.
