Dear friends,
On Day # 1 of the Australian Government’s Official 2013 Campaign for the September 7th Federal Election, after the two major political parties, Rise Up Australia was the most spoken of political party on the media across the nation.
RUAP National Campaign Blast at the Windsor Hotel in the City of Melbourne was a great success on Monday the 5th of August. The place was packed out with Aussie flag waving patriotic Aussies from many nations who call Australia home.
This action packed morning started off with the Australian National Anthem followed by the ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ and a special welcome by one of the traditional owners of the land, an Indigenous Candidate for RUAP.
The event was covered by several media outlets and was broadcast on major TV, Radio and many Newspapers across the country.

The National President Daniel Nalliah’s speech was very well received by the people. Several times there was loud applause with shouts ‘Go Aussie Go’ and a singing chorus ‘RUA, RUA, RUA’ (Rise Up
Australia).
He spoke on the importance of keeping Australia Australian & protecting our heritage, freedoms and helping our farmers.
Then the speeches given by the WA & QLD State Presidents too were very well received. There was also a great power point presentation of reflection from the past 6 months of RUAP.
This action packed National Campaign Blast also included the release of a You Tube Video titled ‘Make Sharia Law Famous’.

The enactment of the Islamic Burka and the release of our policy to ban the Muslim face veil was received with cheers from the people gathered and attracted much media attention.
People gathered and the Media had the opportunity to get in touch with the RUAP Candidate team for the Upper & Lower House.
Also the group photo outside the Windsor Hotel attracted much Media attention.
The last speech was delivered by Kiralee Smith from ‘Halal Choices’. People were absolutely shocked to hear what she had to say and how Australia was going ‘Halal’, or better known as the Dhimitude tax.
The event concluded with the RUAP Party theme song and a time of getting to know the candidates over a cuppa and light refreshments.
Take it all the way Danny, behind you brother!
Blessings

FEDERAL ELECTION SATURDAY 7 SEPTEMBER 2013
The outcome of this 2013 Federal Election is very important for the future and God-given destiny of this nation Australia, and with us, also the nations of the Great South Land of the Holy Spirit. It is imperative that we Christians exercise great discernment in what we watch, listen to, and form opinions about, throughout this 34 day election campaign.
In 2007 the ALP won government through an American-style presidential campaign based primarily on the personal charisma and popularity of its leader Kevin Rudd, his professed Christian faith, his smooth speaking, and the many attractive promises he made. Many nominal Christians, showing little or no discernment, voted for him primarily because he said he was a Christian.
A week after he became Prime Minister, in public response to a question from the media about his Christian faith, he said he would not be seeking God’s wisdom on how to run the country, and that he believed in keeping religion and politics separate. He said the advice he sought would be obtained from well-crafted reports from public service advisers. It beggars belief that he would deliberately reject the word of God and the Source of All Wisdom after whom his Christian supporters expected him to seek. Hopefully, the many Christians who voted for him in 2007 will show more discernment this time.
We must not lose sight of the fact that the governments of both Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard have left our nation in deep, deep debt, after a total of nearly six years of incompetent and wasteful national governance.
We must also bear in mind that one month before Kevin Rudd overthrew Julia Gillard and became Prime Minister again in the caucus vote on 26 June this year, Kevin Rudd announced publicly that he now supported same-sex marriage as being good for Australia, after years of saying that marriage was only for a man and a woman, voluntarily entered into for life. The leading paragraph in the article he wrote and provided to The Australian newspaper on 21 May 2013 says, “I have come to the conclusion that church and state can have different positions and practices on the question of same-sex marriage. I believe the secular Australian state should be able to recognise same-sex marriage.”
Throughout that article in which he explains the reasoning behind this monumental change of heart he constantly refers to Christian traditions, but never once mentions God in any form, or supports his change of heart with scripture. Two questions must be asked, “Does he have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ?” and “Did he ask God for His opinion on same-sex marriage?”
Also, importantly, in that first paragraph of his article he declares Australia to be a secular state, despite the words of the Preamble to our Constitution i.e. “Whereas the people of new South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth….”
Note that when this was done in 1900 Western Australia had not yet held its referendum on joining with the other colonies, which it later did. The words referring to the blessing of Almighty God were inserted on the insistence of the common peoples of the colonies, not the original drafters of the Constitution.
I ask the question, “Can we, the common people of Australia, trust this man – who changes his mind so glibly on such a foundational subject as God’s creation of the institution of marriage – can we trust him with the custodianship of our Constitution?”
There are a number of new political parties standing candidates for election this time, both for the House of Representatives and the Senate, including Christian Democratic Party (CDP), Australian Christians, and Pastor Daniel Nalliah’s Rise Up Australia Party.
In addition to the attached scriptures and prayer points we need to pray persistently for the Lord to have His way in this election, for the good of us all, and our nation. We need to pray that He will raise up in each of the 150 House of Representative electorates the specific individual He wants to represent the people of that electorate, and that He will raise up the Senators that He wants to represent our states and territories. We need to pray that the Lord will raise up His Government that He wants to govern this country, and the prime minister and governmental ministers that He wants in it. We need to pray that the Lord will appoint the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate that He wants to restore honour, respect, civility, humility and common decency to our Parliament. We need to pray that He will raise up the leader of the opposition and shadow ministers that He wants in the Parliament.
In respect to voting in the election we need to make sure we vote and have our say in who is elected. Ask the Lord who He desires you to vote for, and then vote as He has told you, without any doubting.
And finally, when the election is over and the dust has settled, pray for all those in authority in accordance with 1 Timothy 2: 1-4
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
Proverbs 14: 34
Righteous ness exalts a nation,
But sin is a reproach to any people.
Psalm 33: 12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people he has chosen as His own inheritance.
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD OF THIS NATION AUSTRALIA!

And here are the comments on this change of heart by Bill Muehlenberg, American-born Christian apologist and ethicist who is based in Melbourne and whose ministry is called CultureWatch.
One. So Kevin Rudd has come out, like Obama, and is now a champion of all things homosexual. Oh, and he still claims to be a good Christian: http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2013/05/21/kevin-rudds-mental-and-moral-meltdown/

Hello 🙂
Tell me is is Australia going to do something about the UN’s toothless laws in regards to persecution, or as they call it “Human Rights”?
Maybe the women and minors that are forced into appalling conditions in Bombay will be saved the misery that they endure. They are grouped together like cattle and prostituted out, daily raped repeatedly by pimps, customers and police for payment to keep quiet. Their offspring are groomed to be the next line of prostitutes. Yet the UN does nothing about it; because of their oppressors religious convictions/ideas.
Or how about the Muslim young lady that choose Christianity and her family killed her for it – yet the UN did nothing because it was the parents religious conviction that led them to kill her; which in the UN’s opinion made it fine and dandy to kill their daughter.
Seriously the UN act like they are a super power and their laws appear fine to the casual observer; good for everyone, so we think. But but look deeper and you will discover in truth they are part of a huge problem.
Human rights; what a laugh. As long as it does not go against any bodies religious beliefs. Their help is conditional and unsatisfactory. Yet they think they have the right to point fingers, judge and dictate to us.
If your in the UN; make it count, correct them, give the law some grit to actually be able to help defenceless people in their own countries.
Their countries should be cleaned up; not just spread to the next country to corrupt that one and distroy them also. Fix the problem in their country don’t spread it worldwide.
No religion should have the right to do these things. If they do, then they are unworthy of any praise.
These women and children that I mentioned above do matter regardless of their oppressors/persecutors religious beliefs.
Christianity (the REAL thing) could teach these pretenders a thing or two.
I doubt Labor could do it (they have fallen too far) but someone else could make a real difference and redeem their way of thinking.
