NSW gay activist MP Alex Greenwich has made no secret of his agenda to dismantle religious freedom in New South Wales.
“We're going to change the Anti-Discrimination Act…that's going to happen,” Greenwich declared, setting his sights on stripping Christian schools of their right to hire staff who uphold their values.
This is the same radical MP who championed abortion-to-birth, sex self-ID, a ban on praying for people who request prayer for unwanted same-sex attraction and euthanasia.
Now, he wants to use the NSW Law Reform Commission’s review of the Anti-Discrimination Act to impose his radical anti-freedom ideology on faith-based communities.
Today, the Australian Christian Lobby’s (ACL) CEO Michelle Pearse emailed its supporters further exposing Greenwich’s brazen plan.
She urged people of faith to respond before the Commission’s deadline on August 15. ACL is to be commended for its strong and principled leadership on this issue.
Last Friday, ACL’s Joshua Rowe fronted the Law Reform Commission, arguing for a “positive legal right” to religious freedom — not merely temporary exemptions that can be swept away at the stroke of a pen.
He argued for equality for religious rights, freedom for Christian schools, parents’ rights to shape their children’s moral education and for protection against vexatious complains.
These are not abstract issues. ACL’s email recounts the disturbing case of Katrina Tait, a Sydney photographer and supporter of ACL’s Drag Queen Story Time petition.
A gay activist tracked down her business and sent her a chilling threat: “I'm like an Alsatian dog. Once I grab hold of a gay hater's leg I won't let go until the bone is bloodied and bare.”
The email even included photos of her daughter. Six months of anxiety followed as the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board processed a vicious complaint, according to Pearse.
Family First’s National Director Lyle Shelton has also been embroiled in vexatious litigation brought by LGBTQA+ drag queens under similar laws that exist in Queensland.
LGTBTQA+ activist-driven attacks on freedom is why Family First is preparing now to run candidates at the 2027 NSW state election.
Elected representatives who will stand firm against ideological overreach and take the fight up in the Parliament to the likes of anti-freedom activists like Greenwich are needed.
With the Albanese Government stalling its promised federal Religious Discrimination Bill, what happens in NSW could set a precedent for the entire nation.
Family First is getting election-ready in South Australia and Victoria because the threat to freedom is coming from a coordinated LGBTQA+ lobby.
