The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) slammed the gavel down on July 22, upholding the suspension of this Melbourne GP for "professional misconduct" [having an opinion in opposition to pro-abortionists] over 54 posts from 2010 to 2021.
Apparently, speaking your mind as a Christian is a crime in Australia and even in the UK.
Kok, a born-again believer, got hauled over the coals in 2019 after the Medical Board of Australia received two anonymous tip-offs about his personal social media. Anonymous, mind you, smells like a stitch-up.

His crime? Calling abortion providers "butchers" and "serial contract killers."
Sure, it sounds harsh but let's be real: abortionists aren't exactly stitching up wounds or curing cancer. One of Kok's posts dubbed Melbourne's Royal Women’s Hospital "Melbourne's premier publicly-funded, baby killing facility."
The Medical Board clutched their pearls, whining that this "denigrated, demeaned, and slurred medical practitioners at the hospital who provided abortion treatment to patients," per VCAT’s oh-so-sensitive findings.
Kok didn't back down. He told the tribunal that he was posting on a Christian website, driven by his rock-solid belief that "abortion is immoral" as a Christian. He felt "required to speak out about the issue." He admitted his words were "discourteous" to hospital staff and promised to dial back the spicy language, but he's not budging on the core issue. Good for him because he's absolutely correct in his assessment regarding what abortion is--the killing of babies in the womb.
But there's more.
VCAT also had a meltdown over Kok's posts on other topics. He called gender-affirming treatment "medical butchery" and "sterilizing disfigurement to healthy young bodies." He also took swings at Islam and COVID-19 policies too. VCAT claimed these posts demeaned minority groups and professionals. Cry me a river. Sounds like Kok was just saying what plenty of folks are thinking but are too scared to post.
Pro-life warriors are rallying behind him, and they have an excellent point. This reeks of a full-on assault on free speech. One X post nailed it: "No malpractice. No patient complaints. Just 54 posts, some from over a decade ago, expressing Christian views on gender, Islam, and COVID."

Zero clinical screw-ups in 15 years of practice, yet this man's career is in the dumpster because he refuses to bow to the woke altar.
Kok's case is a glaring red flag. Can Aussie doctors even whisper their religious or ethical objections to abortion, the obvious killing of babies before birth, without getting canceled? The Human Rights Law Alliance is backing Kok and sniffing out appeal options, while the Medical Board says the case is "ongoing."

It's obvious that they’re not done trying to silence him.This isn't just about one doctor. It's about whether you can still speak truth in a world that's hell-bent on shutting you up.
