In the wake of the Victorian (Australia) bushfires, which ended the lives and possessions of so many Australians, a little know Evangelical Pastor Danny Nalliah said what all Australians were thinking, but didn’t have the courage to say.

“God's conditional protection has been removed from the nation of Australia, in particular Victoria, for approving the slaughter of innocent children in the womb,” said the legendary man with reference to Abortions in Australia.

Truer words were never spoken.

The distinct insensitivity towards those suffering at the hands of the bush fires, coupled with the utter arrogance of this man’s statement earned him the top prize, the Gold Earnie at this year’s Earnie Awards in Canberra.

Obviously, any woman who has been through an abortion can tell you that it is not an easy decision to make. It is harrowing, it is heart wrenching and it will remain with you for life. Most especially though, it is not a decision that anyone can make for you, let alone comment on. One would hope that all Christians be ashamed of this utter moron’s statements.

The Earnie Awards are celebrated each year to highlight particularly heinous sentiments of sexism or inequality in Australia.

The coveted Silver Earnie for second place saw a tough fight with some very sexist competition. Kyle Sanilands had his comment that comedian Magda Szubanski needed to spend some time in a concentration camp in order to look skinny enough to be considered attractive, and also strapped a young rape victim to a lie detector do uncover her sexual history. When the young girl revealed the rape, Sandilands asked, “Is that the only time you’d had sex?” Sandilands also received the ‘Clinton Award’ for repeat offenders.

In equal second place was the New South Wales Police, who, in an incredible act of sexism, forced a female officer to work overtime for every minute that she spent expressing milk for her new born baby after her return to work.

A most deserving Rugby League star, Simon Williams from Newcastle, took out the revered sporting Earnie, the Warnie, for his suggestions after the many sex scandals that rocked Rugby League this year. “It's not during the act, it's the way you treat them after. (It) could have been avoided if they had put them in a cab and said thanks.”

Apparently, the club later said that the young star had been taken out of context.

We all look forward to what 2010 has to offer.
