Deepa Mathew, Family First SA MLC candidate, asserts that attempts to strip Christian schools of the right to hire staff who share their values are an attack on religious freedom and parental choice. Christian schools, which are growing rapidly, must be free to teach their faith and morals, otherwise they will lose the ability to fulfil their mission.
Episode 4: Is your church a House of Refuge?
Jodie Pickard explains the House of Refuge church resource calls on Australian churches to become true “houses of refuge,” publicly declaring they will support families facing crisis pregnancies. By providing tangible discipleship, long-term support and healing for past abortions, the ministry aims to prevent Christians from seeking abortions and model God’s design for the family.
Episode 3: Parental authority in government schools
Christopher Brohier, Hon Dennis Hood MLC and Irena Zagladov debate parental rights and the dangers of third-party providers in public schools, following an incident where graphic content was taught to teenage girls. The panellists argue for the absolute primacy of parents, demanding full access to curriculum, background checks on providers and the right to withdraw children without consequence. They stress that the government’s controversial gender transition policy, which risks deceiving parents, must be abolished.
