The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church

In lead up to the 2025 Federal Election in Australia, our Church was subject to extraordinary attacks by the media and some politicians.

We were labelled a “cult”, of engaging in “electoral interference”, of being “brainwashed”.

But our Church did not participate in the election in any way. It did not coordinate the involvement of those who did. Our church does not campaign for, nor support, any political parties.

Church spokesperson and Director, Lloyd Grimshaw, has now appeared before Parliament to set the record straight.

In his three-hour appearance, Lloyd addressed the misunderstandings and untruths about our Church’s alleged involvement. He also urged the Committee to take steps to prevent the distressing attacks on our Church from ever happening again.

Watch Lloyd Gimshaw’s opening statement to the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters’ inquiry into the 2025 Federal Election in full.

Delicate ginger lace biscuits rolled into crisp tubes and filled with whipped cream. A classic dessert that's surprisingly simple to make.

✅ Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 8 mins | Total: 23 mins (+ cooling)
✅ Serves: 8-10

Ingredients:

125 g butter, room temperature
125 g brown sugar
125 g golden syrup
125 g plain flour
1 tsp ground ginger

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and golden syrup. Melt over low heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the flour and ground ginger, mixing until well combined. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Allow it to cool until firm enough to scoop.

Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F. Line two baking sheets with baking paper. Drop teaspoon-sized scoops of batter onto the baking sheets, spacing them generously as the cookies will spread significantly during baking.

Bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and the centres are soft and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for 1 minute. Carefully wrap each one around a wooden handle or cannoli tube shape. Let them cool completely in this shape.

Once cooled, fill with whipped cream just before serving. Enhance the cream with flavourings such as vanilla extract or a splash of brandy for an extra twist.

Faith, family and food unite us at the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.
