Australians resoundingly reject ratbaggery of the religious Right

The May elections confirmed the appetite for US -style religious confusion in Australia’s politics, as Austin reported.

Lonely senator selected by supporters Clive PalmerLAST RIGHT NUTTER POLITICS PARTIES announced Religious perspective.

Victoria senator RALPH BALET Tweed last week:

You can never beat me. My decision is not broken, my strength is eternal. I will never get tired, because I’m guided by a higher purpose. Finally, victory will be mine – because there is God in my side and you don’t have you. ‘

Since Babet did not encounter voters this year, we should wait to see if God has kept him in Canberra next time. We already know that there are most candidates with the religious brand. First family And Trumpet of patriots The parties experienced humiliating defeats on May 3.

Family first candidate in Newcastle, Jason BriggsI enjoyed the energetic support of the leading right -wing Christian activist Lyle SheltonCurrently the National Director of First First. Briggs He certainly carried out a campaign Open ‘Traditional Australian Jewish-Christian values’Includes schools that will not be ‘Discuss the minds of children with social Marxist vaccination and propaganda’.

2.14 % directed vote.

RIGHT RELIEF RECEIVED

Most of the candidates who brought up US -style religious issues (abortion, religious freedom, homosexual marriage, gender identity) have failed badly in recent years. These include Freya Ostapovitch In Queensland, Thomas Brough At WA and Bernie Finn In Victoria.

Well -traveling Christian social analyst CUBUK BENSON Australia’s Baptist, Anglikan and now united the church communities from the priest to the church, to the ethical roles. He is now the Secretary General of NSW Ecumenical Council.

Dr Benson told meA That the “Christian game ındaki in Australia is essentially evaporated:

The reason for this is that there is little difference between the two major parties today and that we participate in a mature liberal democracy that is well -served by a free press.

The Australian Christians I talked about are passionate about the full spectrum of sociopolitical problems, but most of them are reluctant to participate in local protests or to do more like a political writing on social media.

Abortion bans rejected

Experiences in the states are especially instructive in the fight against abortion activism in Queensland, South Australia and the New Southern Wales.

Leading Member for Traper Robbie Catter Energically campaign Abortion law reform Last year’s Queensland state elections. Room sponsored A invoice to prohibit transsexual athletes.

Primary vote rolling In 2024, only 49.3% fell from an average of 62.5% in the previous two elections and forced him to preferences for the first time. This happened as the other right -wing parties increased against the defeated workers’ government.

We cannot prove that Katter’s views of abortion struggle directly cause this reversal, but they did not clearly help him.

Progress in withdrawal

RIGHT POLITICAL FINANCE GROUP To go forward It was founded to oppose what he said in 2018 ‘Politicians and elitist activist groups’ woke up’.

Them crowing They destroyed the greenery in the May elections, just they destroyed 2023 Sound referendum. However, the evidence shows the greenery lost to labor, not the right -wing extremist supporters.

GREEN GREEN LETTER Man bandt cutter Melbourne 5.26 % with the decrease in primary vote. Labour’s vote increased by 5.68% and L-NP increased only 0.24%.

Stephen Bates Loss BrisbaneWith a swing of 4.92% for labor, the votes of greenery fell 1.34%. The primary vote of L-NP fell 3.48%.

Max Chandler Mather Loss Griffith The primary vote fell by 2.94%, while labour increased by 5.57%. L-NP vote fell by 4.16%.

Inside RyanThe Greens candidate was hung with the primary swing of 1.23%, although Labour increased 5.94% of the game. L-NP vote dropped 3.89%.

The family first centered 1.02% of the primary vote in Brisbane, Griffith and Ryan. Therefore, there is no evidence that any consequences of progress is swinging anywhere.

Damage by America’s religious right

The observers of USA works around the world see the disaster results of Protestant Christians supporting the Presidency. Donald Trump. Frankly, he leaves the ruthless administration free speechbilaterality, compassion and superiority of law. He destroys critical departments, cuts vital services, destabilizes global trade, shrinks the local economy growth and dealing with open corruption and guilt.

Trump’s support is Republican House leader among religious madness Mike JohnsonDSÖ allegations God personally called him a certain Bible.

The right to courtesy religion can now be prevented between the evils visited on Americans. deaths Pregnant women Hate crimes Against LGBTQ+ Nations, Violence minority beliefs And imprisonment residents who are not tried.

In the White House Faith Office, which claims to be Trump’s leader’s leader, Christendom, like the greedy television player Paula White Cain, is given great reputation worldwide. promise His pure followers, miracles and other gifts from God when they send his money.

Australia is not a USA

In general, according to Rod Benson, Australian voters are more educated than North Americans and benefit from better journalism and more various media:

‘Australians are more inclined to use their critical thinking capacity and to think for themselves. When it comes to party politics, they tend to adopt a lot of mentality. This doesn’t matter how well they’re financed, it’s bad news for the only responsible dog. ‘

Dr Benson believes that most Australian wants to be religious leaders, and shaded think tanks with connections to ultra -conservative American institutions tell them how to vote for them:

‘What they ask from religious leaders is that they model the basic teachings of their beliefs and show how they contribute to the common benefit and do it without hypocrisy.’

Voters confirmed this very clearly in this month’s elections.
