David Crisafulli and John Pesutto are cut from the same cloth.

Both are hostile to Christians, pro-lifers and to people who want to stand up for mainstream values on gender, marriage and family.

They don’t mind quiet conservatives, as long as they leave their values outside.

Pesutto got a bloody nose this week because a brave member of his party stood up to his bullying and was vindicated in the Federal Court.

Pesutto threw Moira Deeming under the bus because she stood against his cherished idea that women can have a penis.

What has the Liberal Party come to? That’s another story.

Moira and her family fought back, went through two years of hell, but won.

Now Pesutto’s leadership is under attack, with a key frontbencher resigning in the wake of Moira’s win.

The ramifications of Moira’s courage are potentially huge. Watch this space.

The newly minted LNP Premier of Queensland, Crisafulli, this week bullied his team to throw unborn babies, including those born alive after abortion, under the bus.

While voters are confused about the killing of unborn babies because of the sexual revolution, most people still recoil at late-term abortion.

Crisafulli knows this and that’s why he can’t allow this debate because pulling the thread of late-term abortion causes the whole cloth to unravel.

So on Tuesday he sprang a four-year gag motion on his party room. It was an ambush, an act of brutal political bastardry on a team, many of them inexperienced, in their second week of Parliament.

Like rabbits in the headlights, they toed the line and voted for the unconscionable.

Abortion now cannot be discussed or debated in the Queensland Parliament for four years.

If this was any other issue, the media would be tearing Crisafulli apart for this egregious trashing of our most sacred democratic institution. But hey, abortion.

Some of the people in this photo montage felt trapped and unable to do anything else but back their leader. They were faced with an excruciating choice that few of us who have not been members of Parliament can understand.

Others in the montage have drunk the Kool Aid and simply didn’t care.

All of these people have been at pro-life rallies, churches or conservative events seeking the support of well-meaning conservative people.

I’ve sat in crowds and listened to many of them with hope as they said they would fight for what’s right.

We believed them.

It’s time conservatives and Christians realised that the LNP is hostile to mainstream family values.

Some individuals in the LNP are not. But institutionally, the party is. It is rotten.

If you are an LNP member and have been silent or have not been turning up to your branch meetings, you are just as culpable as the LNP team who voted as a block to ban parliamentary debate for four years on human rights for unborn babies.

You need to turn up and make them feel the heat.

Your silence enabled that outrageous gag vote as much as the MPs who went with Crisafulli.

The silence of the church also enabled it. Crisafulli gave 12 months warning that he would be the best friend of abortion-to-birth Queensland had ever seen if he was elected Premier.

There should have been a sustained awareness campaign for 12 months leading up to the election letting people know that Crisafulli’s favourite social policy was abortion-to-birth.

But that didn’t happen and during the election campaign Christian candidates stood with Crisafulli in lockstep on a platform that trashed the human rights of our most vulnerable and consigned their mothers to the non-choice of aborting their offspring.

The time to act publicly was in October 2023.

Spurred on by Crisafulli’s aggressive pro-abortion push, Family First acted.

We ran 59 pro-life candidates at the election to give voters an ethical choice.

We will continue putting courageous pro-life candidates on ballot papers until the killing of unborn babies becomes unthinkable in our culture, just like slavery.

So, this was a bittersweet week in the culture wars.

One woman was rewarded for her courage, and it could be a breakthrough moment. Time will tell.

One Liberal tyrant is on the backfoot.

Another is yet to meet his Moira, but sooner or later he will.
