Just got power back in Laidley. Grateful thanks to Energex and ADF who rolled into town as soon as they could. #Australia #Queensland #CycloneAlfred

Yes, I am aware of election platforms that feature excluding women from ADF combat roles.

No, as a serving member of the ADF, I will not be making political commentary.

But yes, as a human being, I yearn for the day when my sisters in arms and I no longer have to defend our right to exist.

The ADF are also categorised as a homophobic hate group by SPLC. She started reporting this organisation…

JUST NOW: @tnequality.bsky.social held up signs in protest as Tennessee trans youth health care ban sponsors Sen. Jack Johnson & Rep. William Lamberth and their ADF benefactors spoke, and Lamberth attacked supporters of trans kids as “crazy”

The ADF should be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. I

Ludicrous. The NACC is supposed to be independent but Brereton keeps working for the ADF while overseeing potential corruption investigations about it?
The Kathryn Campbell conflict wasn't enough to demonstrate how costly and damaging this is? That mistake already cost the NACC $1.2m to rectify.
Corruption watchdog head 'consulted' for ADF inspector general 11 times
Paul Brereton and Labor politicians had previously stated he had stepped away from the body and resigned as assistant inspector-general of the ADF prior to taking on the top integrity job.

and they do not like ADf because they see them as illmoral

Oh look, JK Rowling's chequebook-waving has emboldened the ADF, a Christofascist hate group that has been pouring millions into the UK to fund court cases and lobbying against abortion rights, equal marriage rights, Pride events etc., to go on the attack as well. Top standing up for women, Joanne!
Christian charities challenge Amnesty report labelling them ‘anti-rights’
A letter led by ADF International UK urges the Charity Commission to affirm that charities may engage in public debate without being labelled a threat to human rights

I would LOVE it if the BBC could stop platforming the ADF, a homophobic hate group who have linked homosexuality to pedophilia. Gillian MacKay was absolutely correct to not ‘debate’ with their mouthpiece on Scotcast www.splcenter.org/resources/st...
Why is Alliance Defending Freedom a Hate Group?
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) first listed Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) as an anti-LGBTQ hate group in 2016.

As the religious legal group ADF comes after medicated abortion (they already killed Roe v Wade) realize they were deep in Trump's 2020 self-coup. The head of ADF wrote the main lawsuit to overturn the election. Josh Hawley, husband of ADF lawyer Erin, drove the objections to the electoral count. 1/
NEW: Louisiana and lawyer Erin Hawley of ADF just asked a federal judge to IMMEDIATELY end telemedicine prescriptions of the abortion drug mifepristone while their lawsuit against the FDA proceeds. They cite Fifth Circuit opinion and the Comstock Act of 1873

As anti-abortion activists like the ADF and Terry Schilling told @maggieastor.bsky.social last year, this was always the plan--to control the lives and bodies of women and trans people to fit their ideology.

The reason THESE particular changes became politically salient isn't organic parental discovery. It's because Moms for Liberty, the Manhattan Institute, and ADF specifically targeted school gender policies as a mobilization strategy. Singal is describing the effects of the campaign he denies exists.

In other words there is no question whatsoever that the ADF is an anti-rights group, just as all the gender critical groups listed in the suppressed Amnesty report are clearly anti-rights groups. The ADF clearly intends to ride the coat-tails of Rowling's determined efforts to rebrand hate as love.

They have as many sworn officers as Australia has personnel in the entire ADF

They're really hammering this "blacklisting" thing aren't they? Like what job is ADF International being denied here? What opportunities is SPUC unfairly missing out on by being accurately described as anti-rights?

Whenever I see 'ADF' I briefly live in a better world and read it as "Autism Defense Frogs" instead of the alliance defending freedom or whatever

if ADF hasn’t already recruited this student as a client, it’s only because they are cooking up a stronger case elsewhere

As the Supreme Court strips away rights in what @elienyc.bsky.social calls a "devastating blow for women" - let's be clear on who created this case: not the plaintiff but the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), who argued it. The same ADF that helped in Trump's attempted coup in 2020. 1/
Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights.
It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think.

The Supreme Court Has Dealt Another Devastating Blow to Women
The court's ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood twists logic, common sense, and the law to further the right-wing assault on bodily autonomy.

ADF wrote the law the Court used to overturn Roe. It was behind the fake wedding website case. As @gbbranstetter.bsky.social put it, ADF “is using the state to uphold the heterosexual, patriarchal nuclear family as the primary—if not the only—way of living one’s life.”

Farage told Congress last year that he never bans journalists from his events.

He spoke at the behest of an anti-abortion group, the ADF.

It's ironic, and pretty revolting, that Reform banned me from its conference after I reported that three anti-abortion groups are speaking at this year's event
Farage lies to Congress
His jaunt to Washington didn’t go exactly as planned...

I need you to understand the Supreme Court just allowed a ban on medical care to take effect in response to an ADF brief that cited Pamela Paul as an authority on the matter www.motherjones.com/media/2024/0...
Anti-trans bills keep citing the New York Times
“By any objective measure, the paper seems clearly devoted to advocating against this care.”

Even after being found guilty of 'officer misconduct' for mishandling the Robodebt referral, Commissioner of the NACC continues consultancy role despite concerns of perceived conflicts of interest.

At $820k/year surely he can focus on doing one job well?
