Freedom of Religion

Cory Bernardi — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:31:40 PDT

Last week I was asked to vote for a Senate inquiry into the conduct of the Church of Scientology. The actual wording of the motion wasn't that direct but the intention of those supporting it was absolutely clear. According to the advocates for the motion, Scientology wasn't a religion but a money-making enterprise that was ruining people's lives....

Sharia is Not an Option

Cory Bernardi — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:14:21 PST

A radical and dangerous change was proposed for Australia this week. A prominent Muslim leader called for parts of Islamic law (sharia) to be legally recognised in Australia. The President of the Australian Islamic Mission, Zachariah Matthews, was speaking at what appears to be the heart of Islamic Fundamentalism in Australia, the Lakemba Mosque,...

Finally - Muslim Leader Condemns Terrorism

Cory Bernardi — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:37:20 PST

Muslim scholar, Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, launches a fatwa that condemns suicide bombings It's about time. I am referring to reports in the UK newspapers yesterday that a Muslim leader has finally condemned the acts of terrorism conducted in the name of Islam. Pakistani-born Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said there were no 'ifs or buts' that acts...

A National Curriculum of Cultural Propaganda?

Cory Bernardi — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:01:58 PST

At a recent function in Naracoorte (in the South East of South Australia) I was asked by a guest to share my thoughts on a national curriculum. Little did I know that just 24 hours later it was to become the topic of so much political verbiage. According to the media the teachers union are opposed to it, the school Principal's association are...

Putting Politics in Perspective

Cory Bernardi — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:30:33 PST

Election campaigns tend to heighten sensitivities. Every perceived slight is magnified under the intensity of media scrutiny and it is often hard to stand your ground under such relentless pressure. This was brought home to me recently when I noticed an independent upper house candidate standing on an anti-abortion platform. His campaign posters,...

Rudd's New Moral Dilemma

Cory Bernardi — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 16:32:20 PST

Kevin Rudd once proclaimed climate change as 'the great moral dilemma of our time'. It is clear that these were just more empty words from the most loquacious Prime Minister in our history. How else can one explain why he has chosen not to pursue his rotten corpse of a policy known as the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme? Instead, as Parliament...

From Part-Time to No Time

Cory Bernardi — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:42:24 PST

In every piece of ideological government legislation there are usually consequences for people that least expect them. I use the term ideological to describe the legislation that is introduced by governments to appease the Party 'manifesto'; irrespective of whether its basic reasoning is beneficial or not. Among the few pre-election promises...

Another Great Green Tax?

Cory Bernardi — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 12:30:00 PST

Homeowners awoke on Sunday morning to read about the Rudd Government’s proposed new mandatory energy assessment of all homes before they can be rented or sold. The cost was estimated at up to $1500 per home! Typical of government-sanctioned leaks, it was short on detail but the intention was clear. The Government wants to impose a new cost on all...

Behind the Truth

Cory Bernardi — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:38:18 PST

Kevin Rudd’s honesty and integrity are under question. Not just by the Federal Opposition but by an increasing number of Australians who are waking up to the fact that what Mr Rudd says is not always consistent with actual events. One could attribute this variability to Mr Rudd’s confusion about his true beliefs and philosophical position....
