With No Regard For Biological Realities, Australia’s National Sanity Is Broken

(Capital Territory, Australia) — Did you know Australia no longer has a biological definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ in federal law?

No wonder our nation is confused.

This isn’t an abstract legal glitch. It’s a cultural earthquake and we’re all living in the aftershocks. When the law deletes biological reality, it reflects something deeper: a nation rejecting God and rejecting truth.

Scripture is clear: God created humanity in His image; male and female. He designed our bodies with purpose, with complementarity, and with the ability to bring forth life. This isn’t a ‘Christian belief’; it’s a universal human and scientific reality.
Only a male and a female can create life. No amount of surgery, hormones, or legal word-games can change that.

But biological sex is inconvenient for a culture driven by desire instead of design. So the modern world fights God’s created order – fighting nature itself. The result? A fruitless imitation of what God intended for life and flourishing.

Two males cannot conceive a child.
Two females cannot conceive a child.
A ‘trans’ man cannot produce a sperm.
A ‘trans’ woman cannot produce egg.
Reality does not bend.

And yet the push continues. The Australian Law Reform Commission is now considering whether to loosen Australia’s ban on commercial surrogacy to make it easier for male couples to procure children. If a homosexual relationship cannot produce children, then surrogates must be made more accessible — even paid for.

This is the commodification of human life, and it is grotesque.

Australia is rewriting creation to satisfy the desires of adults – not the rights of children. And the root of this problem goes back further than many realise.

In 2013, then-Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus inserted ‘gender identity’ into the Sex Discrimination Act. This was an Act originally designed for females but suddenly, any man who identified as a “woman” received the same protections.

This legal fiction, that a male can be a “woman”, became a protected category.

The idea that biological sex doesn’t matter took root, and that idea now shapes everything.

The Tickle v Giggle case cemented this new legal definition. A male who identifies as a “woman” sued a female-only app for excluding him…and won. The court ruled that Tickle was disadvantaged relative to other females on the grounds of his trans identity. So much for protecting women.

In response to recent questioning by Senator Claire Chandler, Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Dr Anna Cody, couldn’t even answer, “What is a biological male?” When our own Commissioner has no regard for biological realities, national sanity is broken.

Because of this legal falsehood, women are losing every protected space: bathrooms, changing rooms, prisons, sporting clubs, shelters, school camps, accommodation. Everywhere.

You see it now in every government form, census questions, health, education, workplaces, and public policy. It appears in rainbow-washed institutions insisting reproductive organs have nothing to do with sex.

“Pick your gender: male, female, non-binary, other.”

The fallout is truly devastating:

  • Children are being led into confusion, puberty blockers, sterilisation, and irreversible harm.
  • Women are being placed at risk by men in female-only spaces including in prisons and school camps.
  • Parents, teachers, and even principals are being punished for speaking biological truth.
  • In NSW, a mother was fined $95,000 for vilification for defending women’s sport.

Enough is enough. The Sex Discrimination Act must be restored to its original purpose: protect women – real women. This is where the deception stops, and truth begins. Christians must speak clearly, confidently, and unapologetically the Biblical truth of creation: “Male and female He created them.”

This truth is reality. This truth is the foundation of human life. And abandoning it is dangerous and wrong. Because the simplest truth remains the most profound: Male + Female = Life

As The Iranian People Demand Freedom From The Ayatollah Regime, America Examines Its Military Options

There is a red line that President Trump has drawn for the Iranian regime: killing your own people will result in strong action by the United States. Despite the President's warnings, bodies continue to pile up as the state seeks to crush dissent and silence its protesters. The massacre of protesters is reaching horrific proportions. So will America strike?

Overdue Action: In The Case Of The Abortion Pill, The Federal Gov’t Is Not Stopping The Trafficking; It Is Enabling It

Earlier this week, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and I hosted a press conference on Capitol Hill alongside several other members of Congress and state attorneys general to draw attention to another form of deadly illegal drug trafficking — one that receives far less scrutiny. These attorneys general are asking the Trump administration for help in stopping the flow of an illegal drug into their states and in holding those responsible accountable, just as Maduro was held accountable. Instead of assistance, they are encountering federal resistance. In this case, the federal government is not stopping the trafficking; it is enabling it.

Bold Ambassadors For Christ Who Were Powerfully Used By God In 2025

In the case of some, it was God's sovereignty that permitted tragic events to unfold, knowing the impact of the Gospel would be worth the cost. In other instances, God raised individuals into higher positions of responsibility, knowing that their prioritizing of Jesus above all else would provide opportunities to proclaim Biblical truth in powerful ways. Here is a list of Christians who were used by God in 2025 to make a tremendous impact.
