• Your Chance to Protect Freedom in Queensland

  07-10-2026 09:49 via acl.org.au
  
  Queensland is reviewing its human rights and anti-discrimination laws, and the outcome could have a lasting effect on religious freedom, freedom of speech, parental rights, and the freedom of Christian organisations to operate in accordance with their beliefs. ACL is making a detailed submission to the Review. Next week, we will also launch a special Queensland campaign to help…

  The Federal Government has said it will introduce its Online Safety Amendment (Digital Duty of Care) Bill 2026 to Parliament in October. ACL made a formal submission, and more than 2,000 of you used our online tool to give the government direct feedback on the Bill. We support firm action against the gravest harms online, but this draft reaches much further than that, and it needs to…

• You Can’t Fix What You Won’t Name

  The Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion was called in response to the 2025 Bondi Beach terror attack on Jewish Australians. Yet we have not seen any evidence that the hearings or Commission have specifically examined Islamic antisemitism as a key driver, nor the preaching of Islamic hate preachers, or migration; the key issues ACL raised in our June submission.

They’re worth slowing down for, because they ask a great deal of the people who make our laws. Back in June, we wrote about where this tradition comes from. Christian prayer has opened Westminster parliaments since…

• Why Does the ACT Have a Navigator for VAD but Not Palliative Care?

  07-10-2026 04:29 via acl.org.au
  
  When someone is nearing the end of their life, the question should be: how can we care for this person well?

• NSW Government Rules Out Commercial Surrogacy

  07-10-2026 03:48 via acl.org.au
  
  There are some things we should never put a price on. A woman’s ability to carry a child and a child’s right to be valued as more than the outcome of a commercial transaction should be protected. For Christians, children are not commodities to be obtained. Psalm 127 tells us that “children are a heritage from the Lord”. They are gifts entrusted to us by God…
