Homeschooling and the Victorian Cult Inquiry
This morning, I saw a video in which the Australian Christian Lobby's Jasmine Yuen raised alarm over the recommendation, from the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into cults and fringe groups, that special care be taken around homeschooling. I'm a homeschool kid. I was homeschooled using the ACE curriculum. I'm also the co-founder of the Australian Cult Survivors Network. Ya girl has thoughts. This isn't an issue of religion. This is an issue of child protection. Let's get into it.

The Victorian Cult Inquiry talked about Homeschooling. This morning, I spotted the Australian Christian Lobby trying to make this a religious freedom issue. As a homeschool kid, let me tell you why it's not. Its a child safety issue x.com/clare_mcivor...

Lucy Hamilton@lucyham.bsky.social · 2mo agoSo @clareheathmcivor.bsky.social shared over at the other place that Moira Deeming relied on Libertarian Party candidate for advice on “headlock”. Libertarian Party is still part of the Gina Machine with her mentors Tony Abbott & Peta Credlin. #Auspol see Pt 2
It’s truly disturbing how ‘Christian’ values are being heard more & more from politicians ( Abbot comes to mind just recently) . The hypocrisy is outstanding especially those demonising migrants & minorities. Guess they cherry pick scripture & leave out Welcoming Strangers’
Who is bored on Friday. Babet, one of the most unapologetically foolish and sensitive (blocks his fact checkers at a rate of knots) is speaking about why politics needs Christ (it doesn’t),why our freedom depends on it (it doesn’t) and how it shaped western democracy (nope). 1/6
‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

Extremist Christians are selecting One Nation as their vehicle. Our rights are on the line.
Australia has long maintained separation of church and state, with no established religion. In that context, progressives sense that coercive Christian politics are not a threat here. Question that.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
It's quite likely all Hanson has ever wanted is to harvest electoral public funding money without the responsibility of actually running anything. (You get paid $3.49 per vote if you get over 4% in any Federal election - one Nation stands to collect maybe $18 million if their current support holds)
Clare Heath-McIvor@clareheathmcivor.bsky.social · 3mo agoSo One Nation seems to be imploding over REALLY terrible policies (i.e. evicting migrants from houses they legally own). And Barnaby accidentally said the quiet bit out loud when he was campaigning against womens rights using pictures of...sugar gliders. What. A. Joke
they were never going to be a viable party, they just serve a role for the people who want to turn australia into a (us client) ethnostate, but like. it's pretty funny to see the cracks showing this much this early lol

Anyway, today has been Mabo day, that’s worth highlighting.
As we head towards the deadline for the recommendations from the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into cults, there's an excuse I hear over and over. Religious freedom. Here's how its massively different from coercion in cults and high control groups youtu.be/UDee6ObS8CI?...
What’s the difference between free will religion and coercion?
