The ballot box is your opportunity to have your say. Say no to the ALP/Green's arrogant attempt to destroy marriage and family. Vote Family First 1 for marriage, family and children.

John Howard's article in the Australian newspaper on Saturday 27th February 2016  sounded an alarm about the culture war in Australia, warning that people are being "cowed" (bullied or intimidated) and are too scared to speak their mind freely on issues such as same-sex "marriage."

He has also noted the "dangerous anti-religious push" which has emerged in Australia generally, and specifically singled out Victorian Premier Daniel Andrew's anti-Christian pogrom as "pernicious" (evil or wicked.)

​Urging frightened Australian citizens to speak up, he said, "There is nothing homophobic about supporting traditional marriage."

​He said, "There is sense in which people are so frightened of being accused of being discriminatory or intolerant that they don't speak the commonsense view."

​"The standards of civil society in Australia were being undermined by a growing intolerance towards people who don't subscribe to a range of progressive views,"

​"I think the problem is that too few people are prepared to call it for what it is," he said.

​The politicians are too scared to speak the commonsense view because they are scared of "losing votes." The people are too scared to speak against or act to stop this tyranny in case they "offend somebody," he said.

​He goes on to say, "there is a new form of minority fundamentalism" emerging, typified by the Greens use of the anti-discrimination law in Tasmania to silence opponents of the homosexual agenda.

​"Such cultural intolerance will provoke a backlash."
