The Church’s Role: Mobilising Christians Against Labor’s Secular Agenda, By Mrs. Vera West

 Australia's churches hold the key to stopping Labor's godless agenda—will they rise or remain silent? In the wake of the 2025 federal election, where the Australian Labor Party (ALP) secured a landslide with 53% two-party-preferred, the nation's 5 million Christians (40% of the population) face a critical moment. From a Christian conservative nationalist perspective, Labor's progressive push—expanding abortion access, embedding gender ideology in schools, and eroding religious freedoms—threatens Australia's Christian heritage. The Liberal Party's collapse, driven by its Teal-chasing moderation and internal sabotage, has left a void that minor parties like One Nation and Australian Christians must fill. By mobilising congregations, churches can galvanize voters to back a minor party alliance, forcing minority Labor governments and preserving the nation's soul until a crisis, like a PLA fuel blockade, awakens the faithful. This is the church's hour to act.

Labor's 2025 agenda, emboldened by its electoral triumph, is a direct assault on Christian values. Key policies include:

Abortion Expansion: Legislation easing restrictions on late-term abortions, opposed by 60% of Christians in a 2024 YouGov poll, has been fast-tracked in Victoria and NSW. This clashes with Biblical sanctity-of-life principles (Psalm 139:13).

Gender Ideology in Schools: Curriculum mandates promoting gender fluidity, rolled out in Queensland and SA, undermine traditional family structures. A 2023 ACL survey found 70% of Christian parents want opt-out rights, ignored by Labor.

Religious Freedom Erosion: Labor's refusal to strengthen protections under the Religious Discrimination Act, despite 2022 promises, leaves churches vulnerable to anti-discrimination lawsuits. Cases like the 2024 Tasmanian vilification claim against a pastor highlight this threat.

These policies, coupled with Labor's CCP-friendly ties (e.g., Albanese's CBANSW lunch), signal a secular, globalist drift that marginalises faith. The 2023 Voice referendum, rejected by 60% of voters, exposed Labor's disconnect from traditional communities, yet the Liberals' failure to oppose these trends left Christians politically homeless.

The Liberal Party, once a defender of Christian values, abandoned its base in 2025. Internal wreckers—moderates and NSW Right traitors—sabotaged Peter Dutton's campaign, diluting its conservative message to chase Teal votes, as George Christensen warned. Policies like net-zero commitments and tepid Voice support alienated suburban and regional Christians, who represent 65% of the Coalition's 2022 vote. AEC data shows a 5–6% swing to minor parties in seats like Grey (SA) and Calwell (Vic), where Christian voters backed One Nation (8%) and Australian Christians (3%) over the Liberals' 29% primary vote.

The Liberals' moderation—embracing same-sex marriage post-2017 and ignoring abortion debates—mirrors the secular tide Labor champions. This betrayal, underscores the need for a new conservative force.

Australia's churches, spanning Catholic, Anglican, and Pentecostal denominations, are a sleeping giant. The 2017 same-sex marriage plebiscite proved their power: 38% voted "No," driven by church-led campaigns, with turnout in Christian-heavy seats like Blaxland (NSW) hitting 80%. The 2022 Church and State Summit, where Christensen urged believers to resist secular overreach, drew 1,500 attendees and 10,000 online viewers, signalling growing activism. With 3,000 congregations nationwide, churches can mobilise voters through:

Voter Registration Drives: Parishes can register 500,000 unregistered Christians (10% of the demographic), leveraging Sunday services and youth groups. The 2022 election saw 400,000 new voters sway marginal seats.

Candidate Endorsements: Pastors can promote minor party candidates who defend life, marriage, and religious liberty, as seen in the 2019 Australian Christians' campaign in marginals.

Community Outreach: Bible study groups and charity networks can distribute how-to-vote cards, countering Labor's union-backed ground game.

Minor parties—One Nation, Australian Christians, Trumpet of Patriots—are the natural partners for this mobilisation. One Nation's opposition to abortion and gender ideology, Australian Christians' pro-life advocacy, and Trumpet of Patriots' economic nationalism align with Christian values. In 2025, these parties polled 10–12% nationally, with One Nation hitting 11% in Hunter and Australian Christians 3% in Grey. Preference flows (65–70% to the Coalition) show their potential, but fragmentation limited seat wins.

A cooperative alliance, as previously outlined at the blog, is key. A "Menzies Pact" uniting minor parties on shared principles—sanctity of life, traditional family, religious freedom—could push their vote to 15–20% by 2028, winning 5–10 House seats and 10–12 Senate seats. Churches can amplify this by hosting candidate forums, as seen in the 2023 Voice campaign, where 200 NSW parishes rallied "No" voters.

From our perspective, Labor's secular agenda is a spiritual crisis, replacing God's design with cultural Marxism and CCP-influenced globalism. The Liberals' Teal trap, chasing urban elites, betrays the faithful who uphold Psalm 33:12: "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Churches, as moral anchors, must lead the fight, mobilising believers to back minor parties that defend Australia's covenant identity. Christensen's platform, with 50,000 subscribers, can bridge churches and parties, as his 2022 defection to One Nation inspired Christian activists.

A black swan event—like a PLA fuel blockade halting 60% of Australia's fuel imports—could galvanize this movement, exposing Labor's weaknesses and rallying Christians around sovereignty and faith. Until then, churches must act to force minority Labor governments, stalling evil policies.

Apathy Risk: Some congregations avoid politics, fearing division. The 2017 plebiscite showed 20% of churches stayed neutral, but growing Labor threats may spur action.

Media Backlash: The ABC may label church activism "far-right," as seen with Christensen's 2022 coverage. Transparent, faith-based messaging can counter this.

Diverse Denominations: Catholic and Pentecostal priorities differ. A unified pro-life, pro-family platform can bridge gaps, as in the 2019 ACL campaign.

Australia's churches, with 5 million believers, are the last bastion against Labor's secular agenda. The Liberals' 2025 collapse, driven by Teal pandering and sabotage, demands a new path: church-led mobilisation backing a minor party alliance. By registering voters and endorsing candidates, churches can force minority Labor governments, preserving Australia's Christian soul until a crisis awakens the nation. The time for silence is over—churches must rise to save the land!
