Simon Birmingham announced his retirement from the Senate yesterday, warning his colleagues to “avoid divisive culture wars”.

“Moderates” like Birmingham pretend they are above such “Trumpian popularism”.

But here’s what “avoiding divisive culture wars” means for politicians like Birmingham.

On Tuesday he said he would never vote for medical care to be given to babies gasping for breath after being born alive after surviving their abortion.

"I would not and will not ever vote for this bill or any measures that restrict women’s reproductive rights.”

He said this during debate on a Greens’ motion to throw out Senator Matt Canavan’s and Alex Antic’s Human Rights (Children Born Alive Protection) Bill – a bill which has been languishing on the notice paper since the Morrison years.

A more callous remark has probably never been uttered in the Senate.

Birmingham can’t be so naive to think that the bill would “restrict women’s reproductive rights” because it doesn’t.

But politicians like Birmingham fear bills like the Human Rights (Children Born Alive Protection) Bill because they tell the truth about Australia’s grisly abortion practices – something politicians like him, the radical left and the media conspire to supress.

That’s why they fight the culture wars but label anyone who opposes them “Trumpian”.

Yesterday the radical Labor Senator Penny Wong paid tribute to Birmingham, thanking him for helping her redefine marriage in law back in 2017, a move which deliberately denies children the right to the love of their mother or father.

So-called “marriage equality” also unleashed stage two of the LGBTIQA+ woke war on gender and freedom of religion.

Faith-based schools are in the fight of their lives as LGBTIQA+ activists have driven legislation, which if passed, would end a school’s ability to teach the truth about marriage and gender.

Thousands of Australian children have now been indoctrinated into to taking sterilising puberty blockers and gender clinics are referring girls for breast removal surgery.
In this term of Parliament, Birmingham voted against every attempt to shine a light on the scandalous medical experiment being conducted upon gender-confused children.

Thanks Birmo for avoiding the culture wars.

Yesterday he openly ridiculed the conservatives in the Coalition, mocking them for supposedly “obsessing over what happens in private bedrooms.”

The truth is no one cares what people do in their bedrooms. It’s the harm Birmingham’s LGBTIQA+ political activist mates want to do to children in the classroom and hospital gender clinics that is of concern.

But for a guy hailed for his supposed intellect, he prefers demonisation over debate.

In true Orwellian form, the Liberals and Nationals call Parliamentarians like Birmingham “moderates”.

As the Marxist Saul Alinsky wrote in Rules for Radicals, “he who controls the language controls the masses”.

Birmingham and the power brokers who control the Liberal party are anything but “moderate”, but the masses in the party room have succumbed to this misuse of language.

When I re-posted Birmingham’s barbaric anti-baby comments on X last night, the prominent left-wing pollster Kos Samaras of the RedBridge Group Australia jumped on to defend him.

People like Samaras don’t debate, they demonise. Here’s what he wrote:

“There are a few words that voters use to describe your politics. None would survive the T&C of this platform.”

I replied:

“You shouldn’t assume you know my politics. Australians wouldn’t treat a dog the way we treat babies who survive the abortion attempt on their lives.”

He came back:

“‘Survive abortion attempts’ you clearly did not go to medical school (sic).”

Me again:

“You are right. I did not. But Louise Adsett did. @Birmo can't say he didn't know because her August testimony was the subject of a debate in the Senate. It's Birmo's politics that are the problem, not mine.”

I was referring to midwife Louise Adsett’s harrowing first-hand accounts before a Queensland Parliamentary committee last August of babies dying without care.

Samaras had no come back.

But forget radicals like the Greens, Wong and Samaras. The Liberal and National party’s problem is its enemies within.

While Stalin coined the phrase “useful idiot” to describe those unwittingly batting for the other side, Birmingham knew exactly what he was doing. He was more fifth column.

How such an ally of the radical left rose to become Peter Dutton’s main man in the Senate goes to the heart of the problem within the Coalition.

I can’t recall any of the Liberals or Nationals ever calling Birmingham out publicly on his callous views about babies or his support for the reckless gender medicine experiment on children.

Maybe they did in private but winning political arguments is about public advocacy.

The left always fights in public. And when they do, they slap down opposition by labelling it “divisive culture wars”.

Those who promote harmful policy in public must be challenged in public.

But Peter Dutton has gagged his MPs and Senators from talking about abortion.

Silence in the face of evil, is evil. Not to speak is to speak, Dietrich Bonhoeffer famously said.

Simon Birmingham had a dream run in the Senate for 18 years, having never had to publicly defend his advocacy for abortion-to-birth or for irreversibly harming children through LGBTIQA+ gender fluid ideology.

He fought the culture wars right to the end, all-the-while pretending anything other than his worldview was Trumpian popularism.

The Family First Party exists because the Liberals elect as their leaders “moderates” like Birmingham and then wonder why they are losing the culture wars.
