Look what I got in my inbox this morning: The Australian Christian Lobby agitating to get its supporter base to support efforts to loosen the laws on gay conversion practices - properly called Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Change efforts. (1/4)

Today the coroner handed down findings about the Wieambilla shootings, finding that it wasnt Australia’s 1st act of Christian terrorism but a mere shared delusion. They're wrong (IMO). Here’s why, & what we cannot turn a blind eye to. clareheathmcivor.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

Oh for the love of god

Does Australia have a cult problem? | The Daily Aus youtu.be/-V8I_3J3ACE?... Thanks so much to @thedailyaus for having me. Its international cult awareness day. Let's stop the damage and hold cults and high-control groups accountable for the damage they cause

All jokes aside

So a few things: A) wtf is this timeline B) Hitler having a micro and Trump having a um, prior taste of the presidency were a LOT of news in one week C) Monica Lewinsky has some serious opportunity for comedic retribution now

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... The biggest threats to our democracy come from the right. And yet human rights, pro Palestine, and climate activists get greater restrictions and punitive actions than alt right fascists.

Did he just say something so wildly inexplicable that even he couldn’t understand what he meant and tried to get AI to reverse engineer and intelligent thought? And try the old cult leader trick when you pretend only the enlightened can understand you? Cool

The idea of someone being mad at a Palestinian flag flown at a No Kings protest lets me know that some of us are okay with kings so long as they get to be king. That is, there are many who only dislike oppression because they’re tired of waiting their turn to be the oppressor.

Apropos of nothing: here’s why i am not calling for a government held public register of cults. Make sure you read the word “NOT” in that sentence vt.tiktok.com/ZSUP4ot4u/

@clareheathmcivor.bsky.social stating we cannot have this commission being headed up by an active member of one of these religions. 👀 #brave #survivoradvocate #believesurvivors #churchandstateseparate

@clareheathmcivor.bsky.social talking about how city builders actively aims to infiltrate political parties to bring theocracy into legislation decisions. A big reason we cannot let the Vic Libs gain control of #springst in 2026 #churchandstateseparate ALWAYS www.facebook.com/share/v/1BWV...

The Cass Review is bunk. And harmful. Here’s the tea

Remember when republicans protested Paul McCartney’s Super Bowl Halftime Show because he wasn’t American? Yeah, that’s because it never happened. But now, they want to do a Christian halftime show in protest because they think Bad Bunny is an immigrant. But they’re not racist, right?

The rapture is back on guys. Joke though we may, it has serious repercussions for groups slow boiled in doomsday doctrines, apocalyptic thinking and Christian nationalist or dominionist ideologies vt.tiktok.com/ZSD36xwXG/

Can everyone start paying me a dollar every time they say “got a headache. Might take a Tylenol. Hope I don’t get autism”? I could get rich off this

Some of us have been out here waving the flag on Christian nationalism and far right extremism for a while now - and sounding quite alarmist. But the last 29 days have vindicated us in the worst possible way

NEW: Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has been accused by family members of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren. Elon has repeatedly had to intervene, a secret that’s spanned generations. Our months-long investigation www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...

Hitler doing Hitler things

The data from the questionnaire portion of the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into cults was released today. 95.9% of respondents reported psychological harm. 85.8% reported personal restrictions. 52.4% reported physical harm Video on the deets here 👉🏻 vt.tiktok.com/ZSDkYEtjU/

Absolutely they are terrorists. Cannot believe after Neo-Nazis attack Camp Sovereignty the LNP want to continue dividing us. Absolutely disgraceful & dangerous.

Neo-Nazi's should absolutely be treated as terrorists. White nationalism is a cancer. Did we honestly think that stoking the culture wars would result in...culture wars. Shame on those who tried to weaponise patriotism for political gain. This is on you www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

Hitler was a Christian, & reasonable centrist Christians who are still in church are dwindling in numbers - have been since the plebescite, COVID &purity culture crashing their marriages. Extremism will only grow. Watch the vid. White xtian nationalism yo vt.tiktok.com/ZSAgTwoA3/

It is a hate crime. It absolutely is. #alwayswasalwayswillbe www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Watching all the coverage of his expert trump trolling, Gavin Newsom is my new weird celebrity crush. Probably also his social media person. But the bravery of openly mocking an unhinged dictatorial oligarch - weirdly hot

Shame on Benjamin Netanyahu and all who support him. Doubletapping a hospital isn't a tragic accident. Its a war crime.

Child abuse. Entrapping women marriages where they are enslaved, commodified with no rights to consent. Campaigning for only single race single faith marriage. Ie. White supremacist. All doctrines of James Dobson, the single most influential Christian author ever Bye! 👋

‘We’re not a cult,’ says every cult. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Listen to survivors. #auspol #springst

I wasn't going to dignify the Renee Heath anti-Cult email leak with a response. She's my sister. I love her. We are estranged. But as the head of an anti-cult law reform collective, and the co-founder of the Victorian Cult Survivors Network, I have to. www.tiktok.com/@clareheathm...

What a comment thread www.reddit.com/r/melbourne/...

"As Mehreen Faruqi, Antoinette Lattouf and Randa Abdel-Fattah have found out, you can’t criticise people killing children because it might hurt the feelings of the killers and their supporters." #StandWithMary johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08...

The convenor of CPAC, Andrew Cooper, has an #AtlasNetwork Thinktank MBA and ran now dormant #Atlas org LibertyWorks. Here pictured at Mar-a-largo with CPAC "investors". CPAC and #AtlasNetwork exporting the fossil fascist counter-revolution against democracy from US & Hungary to #Auspol.

First thing you do on a Monday - read the news. Second thing you do on a Monday - Check the doomsday clock. I'm going back to bed. www.news.com.au/world/europe...

Thanks to Martin McKenzie-Smith from the Saturday Paper for this piece covering the cult inquiry. He's done a beautiful job of capturing how the damage of cults and fringe groups isn't about belief. Its about behaviour. And further to that (👇) www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/religio...

...and it has champions here in Australia. Christian Nationalism is no joke. And Project 2025 is the dream, aim and blueprint of fringe organisations here in Australia already

In other words, resist and there will be blood. Did he think that wouldn’t read as a threat

Each, and everyone of them, and I am talking to you Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins too...

Um. So they're arresting members of congress for abstaining for votes now? My God www.theage.com.au/world/north-...

Yes. I added it in to my Islamophobia network coverage. It’s so gutting. They’re throwing Jewish wellbeing under the bus for their Christian Nationalist goals. I wonder about the mindset of their Jewish Zionist partners like Stephen Miller. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

A must-read. Terrifying.

Just popping my head up out of anti-cult advocacy work for a second to make sure we've all heard of Project Esther and know its the most awful manifestation of Christian Nationalism yet. We all know that, yeah? Read up, friend clareheathmcivor.substack.com/p/project-es...

so great that crikey dot com dot au is running an exclusive excerpt from CONSPIRACY NATION about Australia's local version of the Epstein Files, the "List of 28" ... and how One Nation senator Malcolm Robert emerged as an unexpected crusader trying to debunk it! www.crikey.com.au/20...

The irony of Ron Luce saying there would be total moral chaos and anarchy if the church lost the next generation. (Shiny Happy People: a Teenage Holy war) I wish they could see that they BROUGHT that anarchy and chaos when they brought fascism and Christian nationalism to power

Cult Law Reform IS Possible. Here is how to support survivor-led change in Victoria.👇I've given you the TL:DR in this blog, as well as the way you can add your support to our belief-neutral, behaviour-focused, religious-freedom-upholding recommendations open.substack.com/pub/clarehea...

Legal issues aside - One of the five votes from the powerful liberal party state admin committee is a City Builders member. One vote to keep embattled MP John Pesutto in peril in line with Moira Deemings. Organised fringe groups aren't dumb. Watch them www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...
