Up until recently in the West we had rather minimalist governments, with individual freedoms much more widespread, and what we call mediating structures (the family, churches, civil associations) standing between the individual and the state.
Increasingly these institutions are being trampled on by the state, and as a result we are losing more and more freedom, and everything tends to get politicised. And when Big Government and Big Business team up to stand against our democratic freedoms, things quickly get out of control.
As both statists and corporatists completely fall for the agendas of the radical minority groups, they effectively conspire against the masses to ram all their destructive social engineering down everyone’s throats. We see this perfectly manifest with all things homosexual.
Governments and businesses are feverously pushing the radical homosexual and trans agendas, and as a result, life is becoming ever more politicised – in this case, sexually politicised. A perfect example of this was seen once again this weekend.
On Saturday night in Melbourne at Etihad Stadium a football match between St Kilda and Sydney took place, but it was part of a “pride round”. This meant that even a simple game of football now had to be politicised and turned into the cause of sexual activists and militants.
Thus we had rainbows on display everywhere (on the ground, on uniforms, etc), baloney talk about “diversity” and “inclusion” heard everywhere, and even ludicrous “gender-neutral” toilets at the stadium! I kid you not. Talk about the rainbow activists taking over everything.
In the old days at the end of a hard week of work or school, the family could look forward to a few hours of fun and relaxation on the weekend, supporting their favourite team. Now increasingly the footy is becoming decidedly family-UNfriendly.
All sorts of radical social agendas are being pushed, and football is no longer fun anymore. It has become one big exercise in political correctness and social engineering. We now have multicultural rounds and Muslim rounds and homosexual rounds. Many people are getting absolutely fed up with all this baloney.
As one news report states:
Etihad Stadium has introduced gender-fluid toilets for all spectators during the annual Pride Game between St Kilda and Sydney. Social commentators and footy fans have been divided by the move to designate three toilet blocks throughout the Docklands venue for all-gender use.
Signs posted throughout the stadium and then flashed on the giant screens inside the stadium advertised one toilet block on each level of seating have been converted into bathrooms that allowed spectators to use whichever gender bathroom they identified with.
The stadium signs read: “Gender diversity is welcome here. Please use the restroom that best fits your gender identity or expression.” The move follows the AFL’s staging of its annual Pride Game at Etihad Stadium, celebrated by St Kilda and the Swans before and during the round 12 game.
The Swans wore rainbow coloured socks in support of the cause, while the Saints wore rainbow coloured numbers on the back of their jumpers. Both clubs also posted messages in support of the LGBTI community on the banners they ran through at the start of the game. Host broadcaster Channel 7 also pledged its support of the AFL’s Pride Round.
Both clubs have been widely applauded for their public support for inclusion of LGBTI communities in football and everywhere else in Australia. However, many other commentators believe Etihad Stadium’s decision to scrap traditional mens’ and womens’ gendered toilets was a dangerous development.

And if one online poll on this issue is anything to go by, the masses are absolutely incensed by all this PC madness and the ubiquitous homosexual juggernaut. The question was asked, “Do you support gender-inclusive toilets at Etihad Stadium?” When I last looked, a full 83 per cent had said no.
‘Keep your lousy activist fingers off our footy’ seems to be the overwhelming message from most sports fans. They have had a gutful of all this politicisation of sport. Indeed, many have said they are boycotting the stadium, while many others have said they are boycotting the AFL altogether.
And as long as it is now really the GayFL, why would any normal footy fan want to be exposed to all their social engineering propaganda? Indeed, another piece shows that this madness may be spreading, unfortunately:
The home of Australian rules footy, the MCG, is open to making its public toilets assigned by gender identity and not by sex. Sports patrons took to social media yesterday to vent about Etihad Stadium’s decision to direct fans to use toilets that “best fits your gender identity or expression” at the weekend’s AFL Pride clash between St Kilda and Sydney. The male and female toilets at the ground were also marked with signs saying “gender diversity is welcome here”. Five disabled and baby-change toilets were promoted as gender-neutral.

Oh for heaven’s sake! Get outta my game! Of interest, later this year Etihad Stadium will have new sponsors and a new name. It will become Marvel Stadium (Marvel is a Disney company). Disney of course has been pushing the homosexual agenda for years now.
So this stadium has basically gone from being under Muslim sponsorship (Etihad Airways is a flag carrier airline of the United Arab Emirates) to homosexual sponsorship. Good grief! As I say, this is just one example of the politicisation of everything. And so often it is part and parcel of the homosexualisation of everything.
The Politicization of Societyby Templeton Jr., Kenneth S. (Editor)
But freedom and democracy are the first casualties of this ever-increasing politicisation. Concerned observers have of course been warning about this for a long time now. They have seen the slow but steady erosion of freedoms as the state takes over more and more roles, and engages in more and more social and cultural activities and outcomes.
One very important book discussing all this appeared in 1979. It is The Politicization of Society, edited by Kenneth Templeton. This collection of essays examines how private institutions and associations are being supplanted and usurped by the ever-expanding state.
In his introductory essay R. M. Hartwell defines the concept. It is “the now pervasive tendency for making all questions political questions, all issues political issues, all values political values, and all decisions political decisions.”
He continues:
Where once individuals saw their problems as private and sought private solutions for them, now they seek political solutions. Where once private initiative dominated, for example, in areas like cultural entertainment, now political initiatives dominate….
Politicization thus takes the manifest form of increasing the power of the state, of increasing political power as against all other forms of power in society, of increasing the power of the politicians and the bureaucrats as against the power of individuals, private institutions, and voluntary associations. For the individual this has meant increasing political dependence and awareness, along with increasing political ineffectiveness and frustration.
And this point is especially crucial here:
Powerlessness, and the sense of frustration that accompanies it, has been intensified, moreover, by renewed visions of the millennium, of that better world which the intellectuals dream up, and which the politicians promise but never deliver. With the failure of promises has come the identification of obstacles to progress, those individuals and institutions which prevent change.
Yes exactly, which is why we refer to these activists as “coercive utopians”. They actually think that all their political activism – in this case, the homosexualisation of everything – will make a better, ‘fairer’ world. But all it does is politicise everything, which is always the hallmark of tyrannical and repressive regimes.
So what we have here are the cultural Marxists at work, seeking to bring in by internal evolution what the older Marxists sought to bring in by external revolution. But the results are exactly the same: the all-powerful state which crushes everything, and subsumes everything.
It is the slow but certain crushing of human freedom, cultural values, and voluntary society, replaced by the all-knowing and all-powerful Big Brother. After all, Big Brother really does know what is best for you. We are called simply to submit – or else.
So if you are scratching your head at the absolute madness that took place this weekend at Etihad Stadium, there is a reason why all this is happening. It is not coming about by accident. Militants, activists and social engineers are working with the state and with so much of big business to implement their radical agendas, and everyone must simply become subservient to all this.
If you dare to differ, you WILL be punished. We should have learned these lessons from the failed experiment of godless communism. But sadly we have not, so we are seeing history repeat itself, with all its dehumanising ugliness and corruption.

Thanks Bill for providing an oasis of commonsense. We love our footy because it showcases what we know as ‘masculinity’ and ‘positive manly’ attributes’ in a robust, energetic and entertaining way.
The LGBTQ thuggish ‘gaystapo brown shirts’ are a serious threat to these values and our greatest weapon against this madness is our feet! Just stay away and let the AFL know we will not tolerate PC propaganda and indoctrination of any kind interfering with our favourite sport.
It is an affront when we see our favourite sportsmen publicly espousing ideologies that are deeply offensive to the majority of supporters and based on ignorance, lies and unfounded positions which fly in the face of know facts and what is commonsense.
Madness. What if a child of ten or so is using the so called gender diversity toilet and an adult of the opposite sex comes to use it at the same time? Ie: 10 yr old girl and adult male of say 40 dressed as a woman? Are they going to have both sit down toilets and urinals in the same toilet? How inappropriate is that. Thanks Bill for clearing up what the stadium will be called. Marvel Stadium. So it will become a super heroes arena. Will the toilets now have pictures of Captain America, Wonderwoman, the Flash etc on them? The world is using fictional characters as heroes more so then the real heroes, like women and men who save a baby from Abortion and the mother from trauma for the rest of her life for having had an abortion, or Avi, Tommy, Sonia; just a few standing up for freedom of speech and against child grooming who end up in jail, taken to the Human Rights Commission or even death threats.
Thanks Bill,
In the NSW public sector it’s the same story. LGBTI seminars. All encouraged to attend.
Over 1 million children die unnecessary deaths every year from malnutrition and filthy water and the Australian Football league don’t give dam. 10,000 + children are aborted in Australia every year. Again the AFL don’t give a dam. Most CEO’s in Australia just blindly follow each other as do football managers. The days of courageous men and those who are prepared to stand against the tide are limited. If a child gets raped in a unisex toilet may these fools will wake up.
Truly Unbelievable and disgusting.
Why would I want to take my family to the football now?
God bless

The football ground could have one or a few toilets for patron’s gender identity. The majority of the toilets should be for male, female or disabled people. The football club could accommodate transgender people but the majority of toilets should be used in the normal way. The transgender toilet should be in a separate room from the other toilets.
Now I am not saying that I agree with this, but reading the above article by Bill carefully, I noticed that NOT ALL the toilet blocks were made gender neutral, only three altogether, one on each level. All the rest were still mens and womens. As far as I am aware disabled have always been gender neutral and nappy change toilets have been gender neutral since men complained that it was discriminating towards fathers. I am a grandmother now and am glad that men were not allowed into baby change and feeding facilities when my kids were young, especially if you are breastfeeding even with curtained cubicles.
Yes Louise, it is one thing to have some gender neutral disabled toilets, which people use one at a time. But it is quite a different thing to have politicised toilets to push radical homosexual and trans agendas, and to allow men pretending to be women come in and check out the girls etc.
Many are complaining of the problems they see mounting in society, Bill. Yet I wonder what can really be done about it? Write to your local MP? Join a protest march? Boycott certain services, etc? I sometimes wonder if we are really like the frog in in the frying pan who notices the water is getting hotter, and voices a complaint. But soon it is too late to do anything about it. This is similar to what happened at the Alamo in Texas in 1836. While the 185 Texans inside the Alamo waited so long for help to arrive, the Mexican army continued to surround them till at last the Alamo became a death trap with no way out. With all our complaining at what we see society becoming, are we still complacent enough to allow a modern cultural death trap to be mounted around us? Or is the only real answer to be prepared to sell our lives dearly for what we believe in? Or will we allow ourselves to be bullied into silence by the pressure of political correctness?
Thanks Bruce. All the things you mention can and should be done, and more. Yes the days are looking dark, and it seems things will get worse, yet we must keep at it. We need to pray and work more than ever before, and trust God with the results.

COVER STORY – News Weekly, June 16, 2018
Reflections on the bicentenary of the birth of Karl Marx
by Patrick J. Byrne
(extract only)
Western intellectuals may have preached Marxism-Leninism, but the Italian philosopher Augusto Del Noce prophesised in the mid-1960s that the outcome would not be communism replacing liberal democracies, but the bulldozing of the religious and moral landmarks of the Judeo-Christian, Greco-Roman West and replacing these with a sexual revolution. The works of the relatively unknown Del Noce have only recently been translated into English by Carlo Lancellotti. ………….
So, two hundred years after the birth of Marx and 100 years after the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia has thrown off the shackles of Marxism and rebuilt 30,000 churches in 30 years, while the libertarian sexual revolution in the West rolls on, demolishing traditional morality and religious conviction in once great bastions of Western civilisation, including Ireland. ……….
AND SO ON
Thanks Bill. Very helpful. Marxism in new guise through political means. The sexual revolution started way back in the 1960’s and has been on its present journey to LGBTIQ rights. Its a long ride with nothing in return but just a trail of destruction. Promised so much but delivered nothing. Satan has been playing this Card for a long time now and its a deadly road. Time to forget about our sexual identities in Sin and start identifying with our spiritual identity in Christ. That trumps everything. Im so over the conflation of sexuality for the LGBTIQ community and heterosexuals out their. Our Lord after all was so human and yet completely single.
Very true Bruce,
Thankfully we have 2GB in Sydney with Alan Jones and Mark Latham who are pushing back against tide but even they are in the minority now. The Liberal party under Turnbull is useless and the labor party is lefty green now. Conservative values are being smashed as we speak. ACL is certainly doing their bit but even they are getting harassed by Christians. So the battle is on well and truly. I think Christians are too passive. They need to the go to the football on mass and start ripping down these posters. If there is some biffo with security so be it. Some one has to get organised and make a point.
Regards phil
Your remarks reflect what I have been thinking, Phil. Certainly that Christians seem too passive. As Bill might remind us, many Christians are just plain ignorant or indifferent to what is happening. How indeed can Christians be roused from their passivity? Or are too many content to simply wait for Jesus’ return?
This gender neutral rubbish will end in tears for the AFL now they have blokes (aka Hannah Mounsey) playing in the AFL women’s competitions.
‘Gender neutral’ sports will inevitably result in the elimination of women’s sport.
Thanks Bill. This is a big concern. It is like entering the Twilight Zone.
Did any players object to wearing the rainbow colours?
Greetings Bill
Thanks for an accurate reality check on the “footy”. An inspired, insightful, timely and needed treatise.
Few points here Bill
1 I don’t go to AFL games any more.
2 The brainwashing is happening via media driven agendas
3 Gillon will go down as a game wrecker.
4 Familes are teetering on the edge due to financial stress.
5 Direct correlation between homosexual push and rise of depression/suicide and general society malaise.
However, I am optimistic that our beliefs will propel us to recover the current demise of society.
Tragically the pagans have a much better understanding of what what the Great Commission means with regard to discipling the nations. Christians in general lack a mission. Most are looking forward to the “Great Escape” via a mythical rapture that will never come. In the mean time, the pagans and the Muslims have no hesitation about claiming the culture for their own religious agendas. Pray for God to raise new Christian leaders with a mission of actually completing the Great Commission by truly discipling the nations in all that Jesus taught us!
Dear Bill,
Didn’t the SSM lobby tell us repeatedly that nothing will change when SSM is approved. I think we have been told one BIG FAT lie
Regards ,
Phil
In the present political climate in the West, we may be forgiven for feeling in some sense that the West actually lost the Cold War. Yes, Capitalism outlasted Communism as an economic colossus. However, Dialectic Materialist ethics appear to very much alive and well in what is a spiritually moribund Western psyche where there is no longer any room for moral absolutes of any stripe or hue.
I recently read about a study (albeit with very small numbers) where only 40% of jailed inmates, convicted of pedophilia crimes, were heterosexual. The article only gave a cursory breakup of what the other 60% were made up of but the fact is these changes are giving these people access to what they want. I guess the good thing about this is crimes committed in the communal toilets will be more easily exposed than the crimes that the redefinition of marriage will facilitate, because sexual crimes in the home are notoriously difficult to find and prosecute, but in the mean time children will be increasingly exposed to these things (no pun intended) and that will not be seen as a crime.
There seems to be some misunderstandings here:
Helen Jenkins-Conway – people who consider themselves transgender are not going to go to a “transgender” toilet. They don’t want people to know. We probably have all shared a toilet block with transgender women (males who believe they are women) and also in fitting rooms in department stores, without knowing it. And the other way around in the men’s toilet.
Re the fitting rooms: after working in the retail trade 25 years ago, and doing my stint on the fitting room door, I can only say Please, Please wash any lingerie that you buy before you wear it, because you don’t know who has been trying it on! I have had men dressed and made up as women try on women’s lingerie, and only realised later (after other staff members told me).
Michael Weekes – the small study that you mention is incorrect, probably because it was done on convicted and jailed people. Most paedophiles are never caught or convicted or jailed. The majority of paedophiles are heterosexual, and interested in only girls or some girls and boys. Many are married and “pillars of community or church” and allegations against them are less likely to be believed, and as you mentioned much of it goes on in the home and therefore less likely to come out and believed. The Royal Commission showed up many of these things.
As for male homosexual paedophiles, they are only interested in boys and have always had access to boys in the male toilets, dressing sheds at beaches / pools, dressing rooms at sports events etc. That has always been a bigger danger than a man who thinks he is a woman going to the ladies. Just don’t let your kids go to public toilets alone, lots of mothers take their little boys into the ladies. I think they are allowed until they are 12. Don’t worry about what the toilets are labelled, just take your kids to the toilet yourself. Though this can be a problem with fathers with daughters: take them into men’s with them? Some do. Or ask a mother with kids to keep an eye on them in the ladies, most would be willing to do that.
Does it have to be this complicated? Just use your common sense and go to the toilet you want to and keep an eye on your kids.
Bruce Bennie & Phil Browne, I don’t think that violence or vandalism is the Christian way to do things.
“sell our lives dearly” that sounds like armed revolution. The last time I read that phrase was in Les Miserables as the barricades were stormed by the French army. The rebels then in 1832 were waiting for the people of Paris to rise up and join them, but they didn’t.
Dear Bill,
I don’t know who is advising Pope Francis these days but going by what has been said is his latest quote published in the church bulletin of St Mary’s Cathedral Perth last weekend somebody is in error. The quote says
“Each of us has a vision of good and evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good. Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.”
Yes I would agree that everyone does have their own idea of good and evil especially these days. However, some people think abortion, euthanasia and same sex marriage are good so how is that going to make the world a better place? I thought in the Judeo-Christian tradition we were supposed to follow the ten commandments which definitely rules out murder for a start
Dear Louise
Not one is supporting violence or vandalism. I have removed Marxist posters from public property in the past. That is not vandalism. The question is did public money build the eithad stadium. If so then the public have a right to comment on what goes up. Jesus turned over the tables and used a whip to remove the money changes from the temple. Would you also rate this as violence by Jesus Christ?
The point of my statement is Christians have taken the ‘blessed are the peacemakers ” phrase way too far. We do nothing. We just let the world push us into their mould. Rev Daniel nalliah is treated with distain by a lot of Christians because he speaks at right wing events, yet most pastors in Victoria do nothing outside their church.
The rapture comment by Hector is spot on. Christians in Australia have no courage.
We have let the left wing Marxists set the agenda, your comments on transgender toilets prove my point. Why is 0.5% of the population setting the agenda in this country with regard to toilets? It should not be happening.
Louise Bingen — I agree with your comments. The Royal Commission was about “institutional responses to child sexual abuse”; perhaps it should have included “parental responses” too. There was the case of former test cricket umpire Steve Randall, held up as an example of what Tasmanians could achieve on the world stage. He was famous for offering minties to the bowlers; turns out he had offered sweeties to children when a schoolteacher. But his abuse of a teenage girl took place in her family home, in her bedroom. How could parents invite/allow their child’s schoolteacher into their home like this??
To comment on the actual article, let me “come out” and say that I never use the urinals in the gents’ toilets. I always use a cubicle. Well, hardly ‘always’, as I try to avoid public toilets full stop. What is the point of communal urinals? People don’t have urinals at home, so that male family members can urinate together; so why do it with strangers?
Madness!
The football league is treating the supporters which such contempt.
Football games already had a concern for safety at stadiums with all the alcohol consumed by its patrons. Competitive anger and now confusion, is not a good mix when people can be unstable in their ways; especially after a few drinks of alcoholic beverages.
These decisions are made by those that wouldn’t use public facilities anyway, so they don’t really care how it might effect the masses. They get to sit back and see how it all unfolds and then try something else to push the next boundary back a little further; losing money from patronage doesn’t seem to be a concern for them.
As Jesus said, “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
Lots to watch at the moment. The spiritual battle is heating up.
I had to stop myself from laughing. Really? So the AFL have become more accepting of homosexuals, finally. It’s not as if Gays haven’t been going to the footy forever. Just keeping undercover and living in some form of shame because of the ongoing ‘Christian’ rule.
ONE, read that ONE, football game where diversity is celebrated. Some toilets which you can use irrespective of sex or gender. We have one of them at home, works pretty well.
Oh, and I just realised you’re a Christian; I feel like I need to apologise to Jesus on your behalf. I always find it amazing how different my Jesus is from yours. The one I know is loving and kind and understanding. Rules were guides and in order to properly follow them you had to look with the eyes of love. “Is it life affirming or is it life denying? Does it bring people life or does it bring death?” It seems to me that you are scared for some reason. Do you need rules to keep your life in order? Is your God weak without the rules you enforce upon Him?
Why does love frighten you so much? Blessings
Thanks David, but let me call your bluff. As everyone knows this is not a once-off, but a regular, annual event. And if you really are so into diversity and acceptance, I presume you eagerly want to see a Christian pride round, a heterosexual pride round, a mothers and fathers pride round, and so on.
And clearly “your” Jesus is exactly that: “yours”. He is one of your own distorted imagination, and one that has nothing to do with the Jesus of Scripture who is the holy and righteous God, and who spoke repeatedly of repentance and turning from sin. Indeed, he spoke more about the wrath to come for those who do not repent than anyone else in the Bible. And this is the same Jesus who repeatedly said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments”. So yeah, I take rules just as seriously as Jesus took them – it is a pity you don’t.
And it is I who cannot keep myself from laughing here. Life affirming?! You are defending a dangerous, high-risk lifestyle which not only results in bringing people to an early death so often, but one that CANNOT produce life by definition. Talk about a life-denying lifestyle.
And of course genuine love frightens me none at all. Because biblical love wills the highest good for the other person, which includes seeking to set them free from dangerous and sinful lifestyles. But what does worry me and millions of others big time is how the radical social revolutionaries are seeking to unravel the very foundations of our society, and are even pretending that there is no such thing as male and female. That is frightening indeed. That is a sign or moral and mental unwellness.
Yes, Louise Bingen, it was jail inmates and it was just one small study and the study was incorrect but not for the reasons you stated.
Michael Weeks, why do say the study was incorrect?
Controversial Video Features TV Host Talking to Children About ‘Gay Pride’: ‘It’s the Celebration of Sexual Diversity’
… because it was desperately trying to cover up and obfuscate what the raw data plainly show.
Yes Phil, left wing Marxists are setting the agenda and one of them is the Premier of Victoria Daniel Andrews who is directly responsible for the safety and wellbeing of children in government schools. Schools are like the AFL a business but unlike at the AFL matches parents are not with their children especially in those schools with this same diabolic and dangerous radical Marxist gender theory which is being implemented as the misleadingly titled Safe Schools Program (and yes again with little or no credible evidence for it!).
Victorian government primary and secondary schools with the Safe Schools” program and therefore with the unisex toilets that students do not have to tell anyone including teachers that they are gender transitioning etc., in order to use these gender-neutral toilets. Some NB some of these secondary schools have year 7 to year 12 are co-educational and are on the same campus and even prep to year 12 coeducational on the one campus! (personal experience).
Perhaps that is why Premier Daniel Andrews while extolling the virtues of Safe School Program (claiming it saves lives) and why he wants to make it mandatory for all government schools in Victoria while Premier Daniel Andrew sends his own children to a Catholic school where this Safe Schools Program will never be allowed- In other words he protects his own children from being exposed to this (UN)Safe School Program and its resultant unsafe school environment?
Well written Antoinette. Deeply disturbing. Potentially parents will have no control over the content of what their children will be exposed to. In essence The “State” becomes God.
Best regards, Phil
The disabled toilets are gender-neutral, and I have no problem with it normally, but using them now for gender-confused people will make it more uncomfortable for people with disabilities who need to use these facilities, as the waiting line will become longer. I regularly take my sister out who needs the disabled toilet and we get very upset when we see non-disabled people walking out of them after having had to wait for 5 or 10 minutes because they were using them as private telephone cubicles. At a sporting venue with thousands of people and limited time between the games, that would really make it unfair on those who need these facilities.
Thanks Gerredina. Yes, as I commented above, it is one thing to have some gender neutral disabled toilets, which people use one at a time. But it is quite a different thing to have politicised toilets to push radical homosexual and trans agendas, and to allow men pretending to be women come in and check out the girls etc.
If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
WINSTON CHURCHILL
A quotation from a chap who really knew how the insidious destructors work and this quite can applied to many situations.
I have no particular grind against homosexual people.
I have no particular grind against transsexual people.
I DO HAVE a grind against the same being rammed down my throat; flaunted wherever it can be flaunted; issued as a ‘threat’ should you not comply and bend to the 2% of society.
Australians seem to be totally obsessed with what goes on between their bowel and reproductive organs.
All we hear day after day is the sexual orientation of whoever, wherever – and what we, the majority should bend to.
Sorry. I’m not!
Unless we the silent majority start to stand up and state we won’t be bullied any longer -prepare to reap the whirlwind this unbeliebeable State is heading us into.
Maggie W
I will never contribute one cent to the AFL or the western bulldogs ever again for their acceptance and glorifying of homosexuality. I’m done with it.
God comes before sport and political correctness that’s for sure
Is this real football or the weird Australian (per-)version with a funny shaped ball? 😉
The long march through the institutions has led to the genesis of fledgling parallel institutions. E.g. Jordan B Peterson is working on a new form of university education, and of course there is Gafcon. People are ignoring mainstream media and getting their information from citizen journalists on YouTube.
Perhaps football should follow suit — get back to local teams of local lads on local grounds.
This is a major concern. Heartbreakingly the agnostics have a vastly improved comprehension of what the Great Commission implies concerning educating the countries. Christians appear to be excessively latent. As Bill would remind us, numerous Christians are out and out uninformed or not interested in what’s going on. How in fact would christians be able to be stirred from their resignation?
Thanks Bill for providing an oasis of commonsense. We love our footy because it showcases what we know as ‘masculinity’ and ‘positive manly’ attributes’ in a robust, energetic and entertaining way.
The LGBTQ thuggish ‘gaystapo brown shirts’ are a serious threat to these values and our greatest weapon against this madness is our feet! Just stay away and let the AFL know we will not tolerate PC propaganda and indoctrination of any kind interfering with our favourite sport.

Yes Louise, it is one thing to have some gender neutral disabled toilets, which people use one at a time. But it is quite a different thing to have politicised toilets to push radical homosexual and trans agendas, and to allow men pretending to be women come in and check out the girls etc.
Many are complaining of the problems they see mounting in society, Bill. Yet I wonder what can really be done about it? Write to your local MP? Join a protest march? Boycott certain services, etc? I sometimes wonder if we are really like the frog in in the frying pan who notices the water is getting hotter, and voices a complaint. But soon it is too late to do anything about it. This is similar to what happened at the Alamo in Texas in 1836. While the 185 Texans inside the Alamo waited so long for help to arrive, the Mexican army continued to surround them till at last the Alamo became a death trap with no way out. With all our complaining at what we see society becoming, are we still complacent enough to allow a modern cultural death trap to be mounted around us? Or is the only real answer to be prepared to sell our lives dearly for what we believe in? Or will we allow ourselves to be bullied into silence by the pressure of political correctness?
Thanks Bruce. All the things you mention can and should be done, and more. Yes the days are looking dark, and it seems things will get worse, yet we must keep at it. We need to pray and work more than ever before, and trust God with the results.

COVER STORY – News Weekly, June 16, 2018
Reflections on the bicentenary of the birth of Karl Marx
by Patrick J. Byrne
(extract only)
Western intellectuals may have preached Marxism-Leninism, but the Italian philosopher Augusto Del Noce prophesised in the mid-1960s that the outcome would not be communism replacing liberal democracies, but the bulldozing of the religious and moral landmarks of the Judeo-Christian, Greco-Roman West and replacing these with a sexual revolution. The works of the relatively unknown Del Noce have only recently been translated into English by Carlo Lancellotti. ………….
So, two hundred years after the birth of Marx and 100 years after the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia has thrown off the shackles of Marxism and rebuilt 30,000 churches in 30 years, while the libertarian sexual revolution in the West rolls on, demolishing traditional morality and religious conviction in once great bastions of Western civilisation, including Ireland. ……….
AND SO ON
Thanks Bill. Very helpful. Marxism in new guise through political means. The sexual revolution started way back in the 1960’s and has been on its present journey to LGBTIQ rights. Its a long ride with nothing in return but just a trail of destruction. Promised so much but delivered nothing. Satan has been playing this Card for a long time now and its a deadly road. Time to forget about our sexual identities in Sin and start identifying with our spiritual identity in Christ. That trumps everything. Im so over the conflation of sexuality for the LGBTIQ community and heterosexuals out their. Our Lord after all was so human and yet completely single.
Very true Bruce,
Thankfully we have 2GB in Sydney with Alan Jones and Mark Latham who are pushing back against tide but even they are in the minority now. The Liberal party under Turnbull is useless and the labor party is lefty green now. Conservative values are being smashed as we speak. ACL is certainly doing their bit but even they are getting harassed by Christians. So the battle is on well and truly. I think Christians are too passive. They need to the go to the football on mass and start ripping down these posters. If there is some biffo with security so be it. Some one has to get organised and make a point.
Regards phil
Your remarks reflect what I have been thinking, Phil. Certainly that Christians seem too passive. As Bill might remind us, many Christians are just plain ignorant or indifferent to what is happening. How indeed can Christians be roused from their passivity? Or are too many content to simply wait for Jesus’ return?
This gender neutral rubbish will end in tears for the AFL now they have blokes (aka Hannah Mounsey) playing in the AFL women’s competitions.
‘Gender neutral’ sports will inevitably result in the elimination of women’s sport.
Thanks Bill. This is a big concern. It is like entering the Twilight Zone.
Did any players object to wearing the rainbow colours?
Greetings Bill
Thanks for an accurate reality check on the “footy”. An inspired, insightful, timely and needed treatise.
Few points here Bill
1 I don’t go to AFL games any more.
2 The brainwashing is happening via media driven agendas
3 Gillon will go down as a game wrecker.
4 Familes are teetering on the edge due to financial stress.
5 Direct correlation between homosexual push and rise of depression/suicide and general society malaise.
However, I am optimistic that our beliefs will propel us to recover the current demise of society.
Tragically the pagans have a much better understanding of what what the Great Commission means with regard to discipling the nations. Christians in general lack a mission. Most are looking forward to the “Great Escape” via a mythical rapture that will never come. In the mean time, the pagans and the Muslims have no hesitation about claiming the culture for their own religious agendas. Pray for God to raise new Christian leaders with a mission of actually completing the Great Commission by truly discipling the nations in all that Jesus taught us!
Dear Bill,
Didn’t the SSM lobby tell us repeatedly that nothing will change when SSM is approved. I think we have been told one BIG FAT lie
Regards ,
Phil
In the present political climate in the West, we may be forgiven for feeling in some sense that the West actually lost the Cold War. Yes, Capitalism outlasted Communism as an economic colossus. However, Dialectic Materialist ethics appear to very much alive and well in what is a spiritually moribund Western psyche where there is no longer any room for moral absolutes of any stripe or hue.
I recently read about a study (albeit with very small numbers) where only 40% of jailed inmates, convicted of pedophilia crimes, were heterosexual. The article only gave a cursory breakup of what the other 60% were made up of but the fact is these changes are giving these people access to what they want. I guess the good thing about this is crimes committed in the communal toilets will be more easily exposed than the crimes that the redefinition of marriage will facilitate, because sexual crimes in the home are notoriously difficult to find and prosecute, but in the mean time children will be increasingly exposed to these things (no pun intended) and that will not be seen as a crime.
There seems to be some misunderstandings here:
Helen Jenkins-Conway – people who consider themselves transgender are not going to go to a “transgender” toilet. They don’t want people to know. We probably have all shared a toilet block with transgender women (males who believe they are women) and also in fitting rooms in department stores, without knowing it. And the other way around in the men’s toilet.
Re the fitting rooms: after working in the retail trade 25 years ago, and doing my stint on the fitting room door, I can only say Please, Please wash any lingerie that you buy before you wear it, because you don’t know who has been trying it on! I have had men dressed and made up as women try on women’s lingerie, and only realised later (after other staff members told me).
Michael Weekes – the small study that you mention is incorrect, probably because it was done on convicted and jailed people. Most paedophiles are never caught or convicted or jailed. The majority of paedophiles are heterosexual, and interested in only girls or some girls and boys. Many are married and “pillars of community or church” and allegations against them are less likely to be believed, and as you mentioned much of it goes on in the home and therefore less likely to come out and believed. The Royal Commission showed up many of these things.
As for male homosexual paedophiles, they are only interested in boys and have always had access to boys in the male toilets, dressing sheds at beaches / pools, dressing rooms at sports events etc. That has always been a bigger danger than a man who thinks he is a woman going to the ladies. Just don’t let your kids go to public toilets alone, lots of mothers take their little boys into the ladies. I think they are allowed until they are 12. Don’t worry about what the toilets are labelled, just take your kids to the toilet yourself. Though this can be a problem with fathers with daughters: take them into men’s with them? Some do. Or ask a mother with kids to keep an eye on them in the ladies, most would be willing to do that.
Does it have to be this complicated? Just use your common sense and go to the toilet you want to and keep an eye on your kids.
Bruce Bennie & Phil Browne, I don’t think that violence or vandalism is the Christian way to do things.
“sell our lives dearly” that sounds like armed revolution. The last time I read that phrase was in Les Miserables as the barricades were stormed by the French army. The rebels then in 1832 were waiting for the people of Paris to rise up and join them, but they didn’t.
Dear Bill,
I don’t know who is advising Pope Francis these days but going by what has been said is his latest quote published in the church bulletin of St Mary’s Cathedral Perth last weekend somebody is in error. The quote says
“Each of us has a vision of good and evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good. Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.”
Yes I would agree that everyone does have their own idea of good and evil especially these days. However, some people think abortion, euthanasia and same sex marriage are good so how is that going to make the world a better place? I thought in the Judeo-Christian tradition we were supposed to follow the ten commandments which definitely rules out murder for a start
Dear Louise
Not one is supporting violence or vandalism. I have removed Marxist posters from public property in the past. That is not vandalism. The question is did public money build the eithad stadium. If so then the public have a right to comment on what goes up. Jesus turned over the tables and used a whip to remove the money changes from the temple. Would you also rate this as violence by Jesus Christ?
The point of my statement is Christians have taken the ‘blessed are the peacemakers ” phrase way too far. We do nothing. We just let the world push us into their mould. Rev Daniel nalliah is treated with distain by a lot of Christians because he speaks at right wing events, yet most pastors in Victoria do nothing outside their church.
The rapture comment by Hector is spot on. Christians in Australia have no courage.
We have let the left wing Marxists set the agenda, your comments on transgender toilets prove my point. Why is 0.5% of the population setting the agenda in this country with regard to toilets? It should not be happening.
Louise Bingen — I agree with your comments. The Royal Commission was about “institutional responses to child sexual abuse”; perhaps it should have included “parental responses” too. There was the case of former test cricket umpire Steve Randall, held up as an example of what Tasmanians could achieve on the world stage. He was famous for offering minties to the bowlers; turns out he had offered sweeties to children when a schoolteacher. But his abuse of a teenage girl took place in her family home, in her bedroom. How could parents invite/allow their child’s schoolteacher into their home like this??
To comment on the actual article, let me “come out” and say that I never use the urinals in the gents’ toilets. I always use a cubicle. Well, hardly ‘always’, as I try to avoid public toilets full stop. What is the point of communal urinals? People don’t have urinals at home, so that male family members can urinate together; so why do it with strangers?
Madness!
The football league is treating the supporters which such contempt.
Football games already had a concern for safety at stadiums with all the alcohol consumed by its patrons. Competitive anger and now confusion, is not a good mix when people can be unstable in their ways; especially after a few drinks of alcoholic beverages.
These decisions are made by those that wouldn’t use public facilities anyway, so they don’t really care how it might effect the masses. They get to sit back and see how it all unfolds and then try something else to push the next boundary back a little further; losing money from patronage doesn’t seem to be a concern for them.
As Jesus said, “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
Lots to watch at the moment. The spiritual battle is heating up.
I had to stop myself from laughing. Really? So the AFL have become more accepting of homosexuals, finally. It’s not as if Gays haven’t been going to the footy forever. Just keeping undercover and living in some form of shame because of the ongoing ‘Christian’ rule.
ONE, read that ONE, football game where diversity is celebrated. Some toilets which you can use irrespective of sex or gender. We have one of them at home, works pretty well.
Oh, and I just realised you’re a Christian; I feel like I need to apologise to Jesus on your behalf. I always find it amazing how different my Jesus is from yours. The one I know is loving and kind and understanding. Rules were guides and in order to properly follow them you had to look with the eyes of love. “Is it life affirming or is it life denying? Does it bring people life or does it bring death?” It seems to me that you are scared for some reason. Do you need rules to keep your life in order? Is your God weak without the rules you enforce upon Him?
Why does love frighten you so much? Blessings
Thanks David, but let me call your bluff. As everyone knows this is not a once-off, but a regular, annual event. And if you really are so into diversity and acceptance, I presume you eagerly want to see a Christian pride round, a heterosexual pride round, a mothers and fathers pride round, and so on.
And clearly “your” Jesus is exactly that: “yours”. He is one of your own distorted imagination, and one that has nothing to do with the Jesus of Scripture who is the holy and righteous God, and who spoke repeatedly of repentance and turning from sin. Indeed, he spoke more about the wrath to come for those who do not repent than anyone else in the Bible. And this is the same Jesus who repeatedly said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments”. So yeah, I take rules just as seriously as Jesus took them – it is a pity you don’t.
And it is I who cannot keep myself from laughing here. Life affirming?! You are defending a dangerous, high-risk lifestyle which not only results in bringing people to an early death so often, but one that CANNOT produce life by definition. Talk about a life-denying lifestyle.
And of course genuine love frightens me none at all. Because biblical love wills the highest good for the other person, which includes seeking to set them free from dangerous and sinful lifestyles. But what does worry me and millions of others big time is how the radical social revolutionaries are seeking to unravel the very foundations of our society, and are even pretending that there is no such thing as male and female. That is frightening indeed. That is a sign or moral and mental unwellness.
Yes, Louise Bingen, it was jail inmates and it was just one small study and the study was incorrect but not for the reasons you stated.
Michael Weeks, why do say the study was incorrect?
Controversial Video Features TV Host Talking to Children About ‘Gay Pride’: ‘It’s the Celebration of Sexual Diversity’
https://christiannews.net/2018/06/13/controversial-video-features-tv-host-talking-to-children-about-gay-pride-its-the-celebration-of-sexual-diversity/
… because it was desperately trying to cover up and obfuscate what the raw data plainly show.
Yes Phil, left wing Marxists are setting the agenda and one of them is the Premier of Victoria Daniel Andrews who is directly responsible for the safety and wellbeing of children in government schools. Schools are like the AFL a business but unlike at the AFL matches parents are not with their children especially in those schools with this same diabolic and dangerous radical Marxist gender theory which is being implemented as the misleadingly titled Safe Schools Program (and yes again with little or no credible evidence for it!).
Victorian government primary and secondary schools with the Safe Schools” program and therefore with the unisex toilets that students do not have to tell anyone including teachers that they are gender transitioning etc., in order to use these gender-neutral toilets. Some NB some of these secondary schools have year 7 to year 12 are co-educational and are on the same campus and even prep to year 12 coeducational on the one campus! (personal experience).
Perhaps that is why Premier Daniel Andrews while extolling the virtues of Safe School Program (claiming it saves lives) and why he wants to make it mandatory for all government schools in Victoria while Premier Daniel Andrew sends his own children to a Catholic school where this Safe Schools Program will never be allowed- In other words he protects his own children from being exposed to this (UN)Safe School Program and its resultant unsafe school environment?
Well written Antoinette. Deeply disturbing. Potentially parents will have no control over the content of what their children will be exposed to. In essence The “State” becomes God.
Best regards, Phil
The disabled toilets are gender-neutral, and I have no problem with it normally, but using them now for gender-confused people will make it more uncomfortable for people with disabilities who need to use these facilities, as the waiting line will become longer. I regularly take my sister out who needs the disabled toilet and we get very upset when we see non-disabled people walking out of them after having had to wait for 5 or 10 minutes because they were using them as private telephone cubicles. At a sporting venue with thousands of people and limited time between the games, that would really make it unfair on those who need these facilities.
Thanks Gerredina. Yes, as I commented above, it is one thing to have some gender neutral disabled toilets, which people use one at a time. But it is quite a different thing to have politicised toilets to push radical homosexual and trans agendas, and to allow men pretending to be women come in and check out the girls etc.
If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
WINSTON CHURCHILL
A quotation from a chap who really knew how the insidious destructors work and this quite can applied to many situations.
I have no particular grind against homosexual people.
I have no particular grind against transsexual people.
I DO HAVE a grind against the same being rammed down my throat; flaunted wherever it can be flaunted; issued as a ‘threat’ should you not comply and bend to the 2% of society.
Australians seem to be totally obsessed with what goes on between their bowel and reproductive organs.
All we hear day after day is the sexual orientation of whoever, wherever – and what we, the majority should bend to.
Sorry. I’m not!
Unless we the silent majority start to stand up and state we won’t be bullied any longer -prepare to reap the whirlwind this unbeliebeable State is heading us into.
Maggie W
I will never contribute one cent to the AFL or the western bulldogs ever again for their acceptance and glorifying of homosexuality. I’m done with it.
God comes before sport and political correctness that’s for sure
Is this real football or the weird Australian (per-)version with a funny shaped ball? 😉
The long march through the institutions has led to the genesis of fledgling parallel institutions. E.g. Jordan B Peterson is working on a new form of university education, and of course there is Gafcon. People are ignoring mainstream media and getting their information from citizen journalists on YouTube.
Perhaps football should follow suit — get back to local teams of local lads on local grounds.
This is a major concern. Heartbreakingly the agnostics have a vastly improved comprehension of what the Great Commission implies concerning educating the countries. Christians appear to be excessively latent. As Bill would remind us, numerous Christians are out and out uninformed or not interested in what’s going on. How in fact would christians be able to be stirred from their resignation?
