  24-09-2026 07:44 via acl.org.au
  
  On 15 September the Senate voted 32 to 22 to stop Senator Michaelia Cash’s Sex Discrimination Amendment (Restoring Common Sense and Recognising Biological Sex) Bill 2026 from coming back onto the agenda.

• Hands Off Parents’ Rights: Keeping the Freedom to Choose a Christian School in WA

  24-09-2026 07:23 via acl.org.au
  
  Every year, thousands of WA families choose a Christian school so that the faith they teach at home is lived out by the adults their children see every day at school. That choice belongs to parents, and it is about to come under serious pressure. The Attorney General has recently signalled that a new Equal Opportunity Act will be introduced before the end of this year. It is expected to draw…

• Queensland Adoption Reform

  24-09-2026 06:15 via acl.org.au
  
  The Australian Christian Lobby welcomes Families Minister Amanda Camm’s efforts to reform Queensland’s child protection system and her willingness to examine adoption’s future. This is an important opportunity. Too many children who cannot safely return to their birth families remain in foster or other out-of-home care without a clear pathway to a permanent family.

• South Australian Government Pushes to Expand Euthanasia

  24-09-2026 05:31 via acl.org.au
  
  Recently, South Australia’s Health Minister Blair Boyer, and Deputy Premier and Attorney General Kyam Maher, joined voices to urge the Federal Labor Government to allow telehealth appointments for voluntary assisted dying (VAD). Currently, the Federal Criminal Code does not allow euthanasia to be discussed via telehealth – recognising that online appointments reduce the ability for…

• The fight for life requires conviction

  24-09-2026 04:51 via acl.org.au
  
  Last week, the NSW Legislative Council voted down the Abortion Law Reform Amendment (Sex Selection Prohibition) Bill 2025 at its second reading 21-16. The bill would have prohibited abortion for the purpose of sex selection and given legal force to a principle already recognised in NSW policy. Its defeat was deeply disappointing. But the events surrounding the debate also…

  What a colleague told ACT principal Janelle Rowe before she resigned – and what it says about the rest of us. I met Janelle Rowe recently. I had every reason to expect a hard-done-by, fire-breathing campaigner. Instead I met a warm, measured, highly capable and articulate educator, wholly dedicated to her calling and the children at the heart of it. Janelle is a woman who had to leave…

• Protecting women is now against the law. Only parliament can fix it. 

  11-09-2026 08:07 via acl.org.au
  
  Yesterday the High Court of Australia handed down its decision in the long-running case of Tickle v Giggle, and in doing so, wrote the final sad chapter of a story that has run for more than five years. The Court refused Sall Grover leave to appeal, which left standing the Full Federal Court’s ruling from May this year that found she and her women-only app, ‘Giggle for Girls’…

• What are ACT children being taught at public school?

  10-09-2026 06:59 via acl.org.au
  
  The ACT Government’s use of the Victorian Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) resource makes us wonder, do parents know what their children are being taught at school? From Kindergarten to Year 2, children are being introduced to the idea that some people feel ‘their bodies do not match’ and that they a do not want to be called a boy or a girl. By Years 5 and 6…

  10-09-2026 06:19 via acl.org.au
  
  Last week, the South Australian Government doubled down on its support for medicalised gender treatment for children, voting against Hon Cory Bernardi MLC’s Bill to prohibit the prescription of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors for the treatment of gender dysphoria. Labor’s refusal to allow its members a conscience vote contributed to the Bill being defeated 8 votes to…

  On the 27th of August 2026, the Rights of the Terminally Ill Bill 2026 passed the Northern Territory Parliament at around 9:30pm. This Bill legalised the intentional ending of life for those that meet certain requirements. This was a sad result for our 30-year campaign against VAD in the Northern Territory, Indeed ACL has fought this fight from the very beginning.
