My experience on the mountain

Yesterday I went up Mt Ainslie to see the result of Danny Nalliah’s call to an “offensive spiritual warfare attack” against the witches who are having an influence over federal parliament.
It was an interesting experience, and a confronting one also, with my emotions being dragged all over the place. I went up the mountain praying [...]

Christians and today’s US election

I’ve debated about whether or not to post this… but I lose my chance in just over 12 hours, and given that it’s the most important election of the year, I have to put some sort of comment into the blogosphere. So here goes.
Today, Americans go to vote for the person to fill the most [...]

The MySpace Party kid

I was laughing all through this – even though I know the kid needs straightening out…
From a media point of view, it certainly wouldn’t be an easy interview!

Looking back on 2007

On the morning of New Year’s Eve James Scott and I presented the Inaugural 1WAY FM Breakfast Show New Year’s Eve Spectacular Extravaganza 2007. It was a look back at the news, sport, movies, technology and deaths of 2007 – here are some of the highlights (apologies for the quality!).

Benazir Bhutto & David Hicks

I was looking through my e-mails yesterday morning and saw a CNN news alert where Larry King was discussing former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s assassination – and I thought, hmm, they missed the word ‘attempted’ there. But low and behold, after some digging below the Christmas and holiday news at the headlines of the [...]

And the number one story of the year is…

…(at least on NEWS.com.au):
Paris Hilton loses inheritance
Can you believe it? I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised!
I like NEWS.com.au’s interactivity with readers – especially the weekly ‘what you read this week’ round ups. And most of the time, the stories I read are right up the top. I guess that means I’m rather representative of [...]

Australia’s view on gay marriage

I’m quite tired and don’t really feel like putting thought into a blog post, so this is really just a short post to bring attention to a NEWS.com.au poll today: “Are Kevin Rudd and John Howard right to oppose gay marriage?”. The question was brought on by Kevin Rudd’s announced committal today to gay marriage [...]

Rudd eats his ear wax?

No, this isn’t a politically motivated rant against Kevin Rudd – but just a mention of a funny video. You can always rely on the uncensored and uncontrollable world that is the Internet to dig up the dirt on anyone who doesn’t want their dirt dug up.
Take a look at the video, and watch a [...]

Howard calls 24th November election

John Howard has made the announcement this morning for an election to be held on the 24th November – allowing himself a 6 week campaign period to try to claw his way back in the polls. Despite the bad outlook at the moment, he said a couple of hours ago in a press conference from [...]

Hillsong, don’t sue Channel 7, please

What’s one indication that a church has become more of a worldly business than a church? When it starts getting involved in litigation. After Today Tonight showed three “exclusive” stories last week claiming that 5 of 9 Australian Idol finalists were members of Hillsong Church and that Hillsong “encouraged” it’s members to vote for these [...]
