The Associated Press (or AP as you will see on many articles in mainstream media in NZ) is a global news organisation, and is also notably the stylebook used by many news outlets, and it influences how many journalists choose to word and frame various issues. The Associated Press recently put out updated abortion guidelines – called an “Abortion Topical Guide” for journalists — guidance which pro-lifers say “demonstrates even further the extent of the media’s bias in favour of abortion.” You will see how they want to change the language to manipulate the narrative.

It’s pretty clear to most people that if you have a Christian faith and hold biblical values – especially around marriage, abortion and sexuality, you are public enemy #1 and must be shut down. It's no longer possible to sit on the fence and expect reasonableness and tolerance. The new religion of "Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DIE)" only goes in one direction – and it’s definitely not in yours and mine. Here's three recent examples.

Matthew Grech, a christian charity worker in Malta, faces potential fines and imprisonment for allegedly falling afoul of his country's ban on "conversion practices" when he explained to a local media outlet last year how he left homosexuality behind because he came to believe it was wrong. Matthew’s case and the actions of Malta (which NZ's law was partly modelled on) are exactly what the activists want – and you’re dreaming if you think that this won’t happen in NZ. But as our speaker from last year’s Forum on the Family Joe Dallas said, you can ban “conversion therapy” but you’ll never be able to ban conversion.

One of the disturbing aspects around the whole gender identity debate and the push for gender affirming treatment for young people – i.e. puberty blockers, wrong sex hormones and the castration of healthy body parts – is that no dissent is allowed. Even medical professionals are scared to speak up. That was admitted in an article in the NZ Listener last September by Charlotte Paul, emeritus professor in the Department of Preventative and Social Medicine at the University of Otago. But a whistle blower in the US has now spoken out. It’s an article which is unlikely to be reprinted in our mainstream media – so we'll share it with you.

Last November we highlighted a case from Canada where a popular fashion brand Simons posted a video entitled "All Is Beauty". It tells the tale of a woman who has opted for euthanasia. It’s an attempt to normalise and even glamorise euthanasia in a country where the slippery slope is well and truly greased. BUT there’s a twist to the story which actually highlights the real danger of euthanasia. And, ironically, David Seymour also recently confirmed that danger.

The mainstream media’s focus on the liberalisation of drug laws continues. Many of them have never got over the shock that a majority of NZers voted no to legalising cannabis in the 2020 referendum. But that hasn’t stopped their campaigning, In the space of a fortnight near the end of last year, there was Radio NZ’s documentary by Guyon Espiner called “Wasted”– also shown on TVNZ. Then it was Patrick Gower on Newshub. And just before Christmas, it was TodayFM and reporter Willemena Shrimpton who joined the 'drug campaign'. We check out the latest documentary on offer.

As children prepare to return to the classroom, Family First has just released some essential reading for parents & caregivers. In fact, it could be one of the most important publications you read at the start of this term. The new Parent Guide will help you protect your children from the radical sexuality and gender indoctrination in schools.

We may all remember where we were when we heard the news on January 19 when the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern unexpectedly resigned. Why was it a good day? Because a political leader who had championed and voted for a number of aspects of radical social engineering, especially against our most vulnerable - the unborn, had stepped down. But has the change of leadership changed the urgency and importance of our work?

We have some great news about the 'Mates and Dates' programme which has been indoctrinating harmful and confusing gender fluidity and sexuality ideology into our schools for far too long – but we took the blowtorch to it.

Jonah* is a 14 year old. He tells us what it's like to sit through a 'Mates & Dates' programme as the presenters extol the benefits of puberty blockers, announce their personal pronouns as "they / them", promote 72 sexualities, and instruct children that they can choose what gender they are irrespective of their genitalia. No wonder our young people are stressed!
