Dave Pellowe Reformer, specialising in Christian engagement in society & culture | Founder, ChurchAndState.com.au

Join me on DavePellowe.com as I host Pellowe Talk, interviewing interesting people about important public issues at the intersection of culture, politics & Truth. I’m a politically independent commentator, and a conservative Christian socially, economically and theologically. I believe it when the Bible says the laws of God are not burdensome, and that they make sense for the benefit of society. So let’s look for the facts, evidence and logic behind the objective truth therein and prove together that with or without religion, the Judeo-Christian ethic is not only the historical foundation of Australian society but ultimately good for us all: past, present and future. It’s time for Christians and Conservatives to stand up, speak up, and practically act for the love of our neighbours and the future of our nation. The most hateful thing we could possibly consider doing is to remain silent while our society is progressively vandalised by regressive haters of truth. I invite you to join me each week and interact via comment, social media or email as I interview notable political and community figures who can contribute to an ongoing discussion around important public issues at the intersection of culture, politics & Truth; discussions on the Church And State.

For decades, Pauline Hanson and One Nation have looked past the next news cycle to cast a genuine vision for where Australia needs to go. Watch more on what Senator Pauline Hanson had to say at our annual CAS Summit at: ca5.au/video

Albanese funded the ideology. They opened the door. Now they hide behind taxpayer-funded guns while you walk the streets they made dangerous.

Politicians who spent years flooding Australia with unvetted migration and taxpayer money for Islamic centres now want round-the-clock armed protection.

Paid for by you.

Bondi Beach. December 2025. A man who arrived on a student visa and his Australian-born son opened fire on families celebrating Hanukkah. Fifteen dead.

That is the fruit of the policies.

They called it “diversity” and “social cohesion.”

They shovelled multicultural grants at centres later linked to extremism and tributes to foreign regimes. They refused to name the ideology for days after the bodies were counted.

Now the same politicians demand bodyguards, home security upgrades, panic rooms and AFP details. Because the violence they enabled might finally reach them.

Ordinary Australians get nothing.

No extra police on the streets. No pause on the immigration conveyor belt. No end to the grants. Just the bill for the politicians’ protection while they continue the policies that put ordinary families in the crosshairs.

Fifteen dead. Ongoing plots disrupted. And the political class’s priority is more security for themselves.

They created the risk. They imported the ideology. They funded the infrastructure. Then they hid.

Protect ordinary Australians or get out of the way.

Australia was built on Christianity. When we abandon that foundation, social and spiritual decline follows.

They told me Christian schools should just hand back the government money.

Be careful what you wish for.

A critic on my last post said it's "easily fixed": religious schools give up federal funding, parents pay the full cost, and then schools can hire whoever they like.

Here's what that "fix" costs you.

Every year, non-government schools save taxpayers $5.09 billion in running costs alone. That's the conservative estimate. Once fully funded, it's $6.88 billion. Per student, government schools get over $10,000 more in public funding than non-government schools.

Those families already pay twice: taxes for public schools they don't use, plus fees on top.

Pull the funding and the tradies, nurses and single-income families can't stay. Only the wealthy keep religious freedom. Everyone else floods the state system, and everyone pays 31% more for every child who arrives.

We know, because we've tried it.

Goulburn, 1962. Catholic schools shut their doors. About 2,000 children turned up at state schools. Only around 640 got a seat. Within a week the strike was over. By 1963, Canberra was funding non-government schools.

So no, it's not "easily fixed."

And here's the deeper error: it isn't the government's money. It's parents' taxes, following their child. Freedom of religion and association aren't privileges the state rents out in exchange for funding. Citizens hold them before the state ever writes a cheque.

Funding a school is not a licence to rewrite what it believes.

Parents choose a Christian school for a reason. Protect that choice, or watch it become a luxury only the rich can afford.

Should your religious freedom depend on your bank balance?

Share this with someone who thinks the "fix" is easy.

Is this the end of Christian schools in Australia?

Allegra Spender is betting it is. Her bill pretends a faith school is no different from a café while forcing it to retain staff who contradict the very beliefs parents chose it for.

The comparison is absurd. A café serves coffee. A school forms the character, beliefs and s*xual ethic of children.

Teachers spend hours every day with impressionable students, modelling adult life. What they live and treat as normal shapes the children in their care.

Parents choose Christian and other faith schools because those schools teach a clear s*xual ethic: marriage is between a man and a woman, and s*x belongs inside that marriage. That is the reason the school exists.

You cannot force such a school to employ and retain staff who openly reject and undermine that ethic. That is not fairness. It is sabotage. Progressive schools already exist for parents who want something else.

Spender’s bill demands that every school hire and keep people who contradict the convictions it was established to teach. That is the state imposing one s*xual ideology on communities that reject it.

A school is not a café. Anyone who pretends otherwise is either dishonest or determined to strip parents of the right to choose the formation of their children.

Some Christians need waking up.
Some Christians need sobering up.

The Noahide Laws are catnip to conspiracy Christians: folks addicted to alarmism.

They highlight every verse about being awake and watchful, but skip every verse about being sober-minded. Without both, you're unbalanced. Inebriated.

Confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance plague those who start with questions, then reject the answer. That's how you know the questions weren't sincere.

No, the Noahide Laws aren't the bogeyman under the bed. They're boringly pedestrian.

Conspiracy thinking can't see the tapestry. It fixates on one loose thread at the back and shouts, "AH HAH!"

Case in point: a bloke I'll call 'Drunk Darren'. He follows me from platform to platform and even other channels asking the same irrelevant question: "Do you support the Noahide Laws?"

He linked this article to prove my "heresy," claiming it shows the Noahide Laws aren't biblical and call for executing Christians.

Swipe and read what I've highlighted from his own source. Apparently he couldn't. 👉

I told him plainly: "I obey Scripture. If any law bids me disobey Jesus, I disobey that law." He heard unqualified support for the Talmud. I kid you not. Half a snag short of a BBQ.

St Paul spoke bluntly about those who stalked and falsely accused him, so I won't lose sleep.

St Peter wrote over and again: be watchful AND sober-minded.

And Isaiah: "Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread." (Isaiah 8:12–13)

If the voices you're listening to are alarmist about the Noahide Laws, you're listening to the wrong voices.

If you see Drunk Darrens in my comments, pray they calm down, grow in wisdom and discernment, and listen to sober voices.

The Party That Says Men Can Get Pregnant Now Wants to Police Your Speech.

They insist a man can get pregnant and call biological reality bigotry. Now the same people demand the power to decide what you can say online. They call it fighting misinformation and hate speech. What they mean is control.

The left already hates plenty of things. Racism, bigotry, homophobia. They say so loudly. That is their speech, their values, their judgement of what deserves contempt. They do not want a world without hate. They want a world where only their hate is allowed.

Call their ideology a lie and it becomes misinformation. Call a man a man and it becomes hate speech. Point out the contradiction and you are the threat. It is not your information they fear. It is your information. It is not hate speech they hate. It is your speech.

These are the same people who have spent years denying basic reality and gaslighting the public. Now they want the state to enforce the new rules. A souped-up nanny state run by people who have shown, again and again, that truth is whatever serves the next slogan.

Governments that cannot tell a man from a woman have no business deciding what is true. People who lie about reality have no right to police your words.

Free speech is not the problem. Controlled speech is.

And the ones demanding the power to silence you are the last people who should ever hold it.
