Free (speech) money
If you were wondering what former Nationals MP and One Nation Senate candidate George Christensen is up to these days, we’ve got you covered. Christensen, pointedly not speaking in his current capacity as a local councillor in Mackay, joined an all-star meeting of conservative minds this week to raise money for the Human Rights Law Alliance, an Australian Christian Lobby-associated group that has taken on the case of Dave Pellowe.
Pellowe is a Queensland preacher claiming he has been brought before the state’s human rights commission for quoting the bible in lieu of a Welcome to Country at a “Church and State” conference, a set of meetings organised with the Australian Christian Lobby that has featured the likes of Tony Abbott.
