Freedom was given to you by God, not by earthly rulers. Let no man take that away that from you! "John Gideon Hartnett and Augusto Zimmermann, both noted and accomplished academics, have collaborated to describe the totalitarian agenda of the oligarchs. The book contains useful information, compelling arguments, and rich ideas which will open the eyes of readers to the devastation wrought upon our civilisation by those who pursue their illiberal, oligarchical, frightening agenda that is already devouring the world."--Emeritus Professor Gabriël A. Moens AM, JD, PhD "Professors John Hartnett and Augusto Zimmermann have drawn from their depth of academic experience to produce a well-researched counter-offensive to Klaus Schwab's Great Reset. The conspiracies of the Elites are no longer secret. In his book, "Covid-19: The Great Reset," Schwab openly applauded pandemics, calling the Black Death that killed upwards of 200 million people "the unrecognized beginning of modern man." Schwab longed for another pandemic to usher in "long-lasting and dramatic consequences for our world today" and wrote, "we should take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to reimagine our world." Many in the World Economic Forum (WEF) agree with him. For such reasons, the professors have identified Schwab as one of the "Merchants of Death.""In this book is the forbidden information you're not supposed to know. Consume it, and it will lead you away from the corrupt leaders who plan to enslave you and to safety of the only Savior Jesus Christ who wants to set you free."-Steve Cioccolanti, B.A., M.Ed.

At the 2019 election many conservatives - the "quiet Australians" - went back to the Liberals, given that Malcolm Turnbull had finally been dispensed with and recalling that Scott Morrison seemed to have stopped the boats and was a regular churchgoer. Further, they were genuinely concerned about Bill Shorten's "drastic climate action". However, these same conservatives have reason to be very aggravated, and are seriously considering voting for alternative parties at the forthcoming federal election. Why is this so? In this book, the authors highlight the Prime Minister's failure to stand up for conservative values; namely, his abandonment of the principles of smaller government, economic reform, free speech and individual liberty which successfully guided both the founder of the Liberal Party, Sir Robert Menzies, and Australia's second-longest serving prime minister, John Howard. This compendium of articles is a must read as Australians head to the polls in 2022.

"In his latest tome, 'Christian Foundations of the Common Law', Dr Augusto Zimmermann rediscovers the Christian roots of the English, American and Australian legal systems. With scholarly acuity, this work skilfully uncovers how great thinkers in Western Civilization understood the cultural importance of these self-evident truths to society and good governance under the rule of law. At a time when perhaps we need it most, Zimmermann shows how Christian ideas like 'natural law', 'natural rights' and 'natural justice', contributed to the development of the common law. In doing so, Dr Zimmermann's work convincingly confirms for us that ideas informed by the Bible influenced in important ways the development of the Common Law, and indeed, the preservation of freedom and justice. Woven through the very readable chapters of this book is a profound understanding of an ancient sacred premise: God revealed moral absolutes in His Word, and placed these truths on the human heart". --William Wagner, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Law, Western Michigan University, U.S.A., Former U.S. Federal Judge & U.S. Diplomat, President, Salt & Light Global

Not since Harold Berman's volumes on Law and Revolution has such a mammoth task been undertaken. Berman's positive influence is clear in the way Zimmermann systematically and incontrovertibly demonstrates the Christian roots of the common law in Australia, England and the US. Yet Zimmermann goes further than Berman in at least two respects. First, he delves deeply into three particular jurisdictions and focuses on influential political figures in an enlightening way. Second, Zimmermann skilfully takes into account recent developments in Western politics and culture and a broad range of contemporary scholarship in theology, legal theory and history, philosophy and constitutional law. This book is therefore informative for scholars and laity alike, and essential reading for a legal community which seems content to drift ever further from its Christian origins. I highly recommend it."-- Dr Alex Deagon FHEA, Senior Lecturer in Law, Queensland University of Technology, Author of 'From Violence to Peace: Theology, Law and Community'

“Professor Zimmermann traces how many of our current freedoms within a broad, plural, public square can be attributed to a rich seam of Christian philosophical influence that has evidently infused the development of the common law in different jurisdictions. In my view, this is essential reading for students and scholars alike who seek a fuller appreciation as to the origins of the common law.”-- Simon McCrossan LL.M, Barrister, UK Head of Public Policy, Evangelical Alliance UKIn this excellent book, Dr Zimmermann carefully lays out for the reader an easily digestible and highly readable account of the Christian roots of the common law in England... His book is a very valuable addition to Australian works on legal history and will assist not only lawyers and law students but all interested readers to better understand why our legal system is as it is.-- Michael Quinlan, Dean and Professor of Law, The University of Notre Dame Australia (Sydney).This book is erudite, informative, well-written and researched and most importantly, it is a timely reminder of the Christian heritage of the Common Law that has served us so well for many centuries”.-- Gabriël A. Moens, Emeritus Professor of Law, The University of Queensland.This important book is both a scholarly account of those roots and a warning of the threats the Common Law tradition will face if Western civilization slips its Christian moorings”.-- Peter Kurti, Research Fellow, Religion and Civil Society Program.

From its inception, s 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) has been controversial. This law makes unlawful any act reasonably likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or group of people because of their race, colour, nationality or ethnicity. Serious concerns have been raised about s 18C's effect on freedom of expression. In this book, the authors argue that s 18C is too broad and too vague to be constitutional. They argue that relevant international treaties do not support the sweeping scope of s 18C. Further, they argue that s 18C's breadth and complexity impermissibly infringes the freedom of communication about government and political matters implied from the Commonwealth Constitution. In the course of their argument, the authors also cover issues relevant to Australia's common law legal tradition and liberal democratic heritage. This book makes a timely contribution to the fight for freedom of expression in Australia. Joshua Forrester: BA (Hons) (Murd), LLB (Hons) (UWA), PhD Candidate (Murdoch).
