Defence: FOI documents reveal Defence ‘comfortable’ supporting political activity, Christian vilification at Mardi Gras
Documents obtained via Freedom of Information reveal that senior officers believe Defence is now ‘comfortable’ being seen to support political activity for homosexual marriage and that it is acceptable to vilify Christianity but not other religions, specifically Islam. These beliefs were based on the decision by the Chief of Defence Force, General David Hurley, to allow uniformed participation in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras....
Statement: Defence support of sexually-explicit activity in front of children
This morning I addressed the media at the Shrine of Remembrance at ANZAC Square, Brisbane. This is the statement that I made. Last year, the Chief of Army, General David Morrison, famously said that the standard you walk past is the standard you set. He also said that he would be ruthless in removing members who failed to live up to the Army’s new value of respect. They are fine words, but they are worthless if they remain words only....
Online Opinion: The rainbow, the cross & the crescent clash in the ADF
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has tackled determined opponents over the past 15 years in Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. While weary, it is now battle-hardened and enjoys strong public support. However, these achievements are at risk from a more insidious threat: political correctness. If defeated, the ADF will be weakened morally and mentally and lose the support of ordinary Australians. Australia cannot afford this. Global...
Quadrant Online: Overrun by the Rainbow Brigade
In what may come as a surprise, the Australian Defence Force (ADF) is now prohibiting Christian soldiers from practising their faith, even when not in uniform or on duty. It was certainly a surprise to me — not so much because I have served this nation while being a practising Catholic for more than 16 years, but because it was written in black and white in a letter from the Chief of Defence Force (CDF), General David Hurley. It was...
Michael Smith: Disciplinary action dropped
Michael Smith interviewed me after the ADF’s Director of Military Prosecutions found that I had not breached military law. Click here to listen. Click here for a selection of other articles on the ADF’s overt attack on Christianity.
Catholic imedia: Army scandal starts at the top
Chief of the Army LTGEN David Morrison and his deputy, MAJGEN Angus Campbell, are a fine brace of hypocrites. The latest Army sexual abuse scandal is proof of that, emerging while they are busy drumming out a decent and moral Catholic, the intelligence officer and Iran/Afghanistan veteran, Major Bernard Gaynor, who dared to criticise the decision to allow ADF members to march in the Gay Mardi Gras in uniform. What does the leadership...
Catholic Radio: Army Major dismissed for voicing Christian beliefs
Army Reserve Major Bernard Gaynor has this week issued a statement claiming he is being dismissed from the Australian Defence Force for expressing his Christian beliefs. In April last year Major Gaynor had seven charges brought against him by the Defence Force, including three counts of failure to comply with an order, three counts of prejudicial conduct and one count of disobeying a lawful command. The charges, which Major Gaynor...
News Weekly: Gay activism encouraged in Australia’s armed services
An Australian Defence Force officer, Squadron-Leader Vince Chong, has received a decoration — a gold commendation — from the Vice Chief of the Defence Force (VCDF), Air Marshal Mark Binskin AO, on May 22, for his leadership in a homosexual activist political organisation, the Australian Defence Gay and Lesbian Information Service (DEFGLIS). This organisation has succeeded in having homosexual servicemen march as formed bodies in...
Menzies House: What next? Order of the Rainbow Fart?
Does The Homosexual/Lesbian Minority Now Dictate The Terms In The ADF? During the recent headlines about questionable conduct of ADF personnel I made comment that since the mid to late 60’s the three defence forces have seen a deterioration of standards, discipline and general conduct brought about by pressure from minority activists, political correctness, and blatant stupidity by politicians and senior command of what is now...
Press Release: Defence to terminate commission of Christian officer
The Chief of Defence Force has written to me that he intends to terminate my commission in the Army Reserve. I have been given until 5 February, 2014, to respond. I issued the following press release a short time ago. ***** Defence: Christian officer to have commission terminated Bernard Gaynor faces termination of his Army Commission for objecting to Defence support of lewd, public displays of sexual behaviour and insults against...
