Devil worshipers celebrate ‘important win for religious freedom’
Noosa Temple of Satan manages to get the pentagram added to the religious symbols displayed at hospital’s multi-faith centre.
Leader Samael Demo-Gorgon (aka former Sex Party candidate and LGBTI activist Robin Bristow) is additionally seeking to be recognised as a chaplain.
“I look forward to providing comfort to Satanists when they’re in hospital,” Bristow said. “Also I can imagine there may be Christians who are facing death and may wish to turn to Satanism in their last moments. We need to give them every opportunity to turn to the Dark Lord. That‘s very important work.”
Bristow has successfully argued to get “a plethora of Christian symbols and decorations” removed from the shared space after complaining it was an affront to the religious freedoms of others.

With 2021 set to be a HUGE year for the expansion of religious freedoms for Satanists right around the country, the website is a great place to stay up to date with what's happening at our temple in sunny Noosa.
Hail the interweb!
Hail Satan!
The Lucifer lover’s top-shelf trolling has raised the ire of John Dickson, a lecturer in public Christianity at Melbourne’s Ridley College, who complained the heathens would be “about as useful to people sick and dying as the local knitting club”. Perhaps the sinners could provide some purls of wisdom about the knitty gritty end?
Queensland Health defended its decision to add the pentagram. “Staff care for patients of all faiths in their facilities and these patients are entitled to request and receive support from their faith leader,” a statement says. “Facilities may display world-recognised religious symbols as a welcoming gesture for patients and visitors.
In 2020, Queensland Health released its Framework for the Integration of Spiritual Care in Queensland Health Facilities.” The devilish Noosa group is also campaigning to teach in schools, encouraging its 5000-plus Facebook followers to enrol their children in Satanic religious instruction classes. We’re told at least three Brisbane families have done so thus far.

Give peas a chance
The Greens want to recruit more men to dismantle the patriarchy.
WA members Khin Myint and Kate Davis are writing a men’s wellbeing policy, after realising the minor party’s supporter base is made up of educated and middle-class women but struggles to engage economically disenfranchised men and men of colour.
“Part of the reason is that we aren’t talking about masculinity in the right way,” Myint and Davis argued in the latest Greens magazine.
There is understandable resistance to addressing men about “their own gender’s plight”, they contend, as conservative figures (such as Mark Latham and Bettina Arndt) reinforce “regressive masculine norms”.
“We need to understand this radicalisation,” Myint and Davis wrote. “Many men feel that progressive activists don’t care about their experience, which is how they get captured by these right-wing leaders. It is part of progressive leadership to attempt to correct that misconception.” Their end game? “We need men to invest in dismantling patriarchy. Helping men to see how patriarchy oppresses them is the key to this.”

Hit for six
What does Liberal MP Jason Falinski think about the Prime Minister’s adverse reaction to Cricket Australia’s use of January 26? “I think that Scott Morrison … is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination,” he said. “But he is very open to new ideas, and trying to understand an issue better. I think that there are a whole bunch of people who, if they got on the phone, he would be very happy to meet with.”
Now seems to be as good a time as any... #auspol #forthebeaches pic.twitter.com/Zow0pnTK8Y

Thank brew very much
“I want to congratulate Mashd N Kutcher for making it into the Hottest 100,” Daniel Andrews said on Saturday while introducing his debut in triple j’s music poll.
As Strewth predicted, the Brisbane DJ duo’s dance remix of Dandrews “Get On The Beers” press conference performed very well in the public vote, coming in at No.12. He’s the first premier to be included, but not the first pollie – John Howard was sampled in The Herd’s song 77%, which finished 46th in 2003.
“I’m pleased to be in great company among other Hottest 100 novelty artists like Denis Leary, Adam Sandler and Pauline Pantsdown,” Andrews noted. “I think we can all agree their contributions have stood the test of time.”
He also made this deadpan declaration: “What’s clear is that now a politician has made the Hottest 100, this is probably going to be the last Hottest 100 – it’s no longer Hot. I’m sorry to all the Gen-Xers out there who have to bid farewell to their most important annual cultural tradition.”
Meanwhile, Tasmanian Young Labor mocked the local Liberals with a list of fake Hottest 100 songs to “keep an ear out for”, including: Eric Abetz, “I’m Still Standing”; Bridget Archer, “Backflip”; and Wendy Askew, “Who?”
Two things are clear:

1. Now that a politician has made the Hottest 100, it is no longer hot. Sorry about that.
2. It's officially time to get on the beers.
Congrats @mashdnkutcher - I look forward to our next ‘collaboration’. https://t.co/HKrE8tIbQD

Keep calm
Kenneth Branagh has been cast as Boris Johnson in a miniseries about COVID-19. Currently titled This Sceptred Isle, it will be based on first-hand accounts from Number 10. The UK has recorded more than 3.5m infections and nearly 96,000 deaths, the world’s fifth-highest toll. Tracing the Prime Minister’s fight with the invisible enemy – including the arrival of his sixth (?) child – the story is set to premiere in 2022. We can’t wait to see the BoJo wig.
Great to speak to President @JoeBiden this evening. I look forward to deepening the longstanding alliance between our two countries as we drive a green and sustainable recovery from COVID-19. pic.twitter.com/Y4P3G74PPz

Libs should be-Ware what they say about JWH
Could things get any worse for the Liberals in Hughes? Well, strap in. Diary can reveal that Liberal candidate Jenny Ware once called John Winston Howard ‘out of touch’.
Believe in your selfie, Andrew
Kevin Rudd appears to have met his selfie match in Andrew Charlton.
Devil worshippers are celebrating “a small but important win for religious freedom”. The Noosa Temple of Satan has somehow managed to get the pentagram added to the religious symbols displayed at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital’s multi-faith centre alongside the Christian cross, Islam Star and Crescent, ancient Chinese yin and yang, Hindu Om and Buddhism wheel of dharma.
