“Gay people shouldn’t be allowed to teach kids” says Bob Katter’s Australia Party
Tess Corbett: “I don’t want gays, lesbians to be working in my kindergarten. “
Bob Katter’s Australian Party is back in the headlines again over another anti-gay controversy after not one, but two candidates, of the Queensland party likened gays and lesbians to “paedophiles” who are not fit to teach children at kindergarten.
Running for Katter’s Party, in the federal seat of Wannon, Victoria, retired former real estate agent Tess Corbett (pictured) told her local newspaper The Hamilton Spectator in a front-page interview yesterday that gay people were “a danger unto children and religious organisations and others should be able to legally discriminate against them when hiring employees.”
“Paedophiles will be next in line to be recognised in the same way as gays and lesbians and get rights,” she said.
“I don’t want gays, lesbians to be working in my kindergarten. If you don’t like it go to another kindergarten.”
Corbett received support for her views last night from Katter’s potential Queensland Federal Senate candidate, Bernard Gaynor, who tweeted that he was not afraid to say he wouldn’t want gay teachers at his children’s school.
“I wouldn’t let a gay person teach my children and I am not afraid to say it,” he said.
Speaking to media this morning, Corbett said she would not back from her views claiming that about 80 per cent of the community shared her opinion.
“You have got morals, or you don’t,” she told the Herald-Sun.
In a statement this morning, Gaynor, an Iraq War veteran and practising Catholic, also let it be known he stood by his tweets despite a backlash against him on Twitter with other users calling him “homophobic”, “narrow minded” and “hateful”.
“Furthermore, considering both Tony Abbott and Julia Gillard oppose gay marriage it makes perfect sense that they would also be uncomfortable with teachers promoting a lifestyle that has serious negative health consequences and is opposed to the values of the majority of Australians,” Gaynor said.
“Australia has always been a Christian country and the vast majority of Australians continue to hold Christian values” he said.

I just heard that she’s stepped down.
What a silly bunt.
Being the straight, non-pc, boof-head that l am, and have not followed this closely. To me, `pedo`s have always seemed to be either,
1. church hiding, chastity vow taking priests, OR,
2. married types, usually male, claiming to be hetro
Now l don`t know, but l don`t recall anybody being arrested, charged, convicted for `pedo` AND actually claiming/being `gay` or have l missed something?

The old “80%” again … thank goodness I fall within the 20% … Pareto strikes again!
… two candidates, of the Queensland party …
Shakes head … pops another pill … 🙄

That’s a trick question in’t it? … In’t it! 😆
Nah, no trick TB, welcome back, hope all is well.

Yep, and more pressure to destroy and pollute more environment too
I’m sure we’re all hoping that Bob Katter and his friends will hold the balance of power.
Maybe with Rob Oakeshott,
‘A CANDIDATE for Bob Katter’s fledgling political party declared his preference for buying ”guaranteed non-halal meat” so his money does not ”go to the Muslim community”.
‘Jamie Cavanough, who is standing for Katter’s Australian Party in Sydney’s most marginal federal seat, Greenway, is under fire for the apparently divisive comments he made to a community forum in one of the city’s most ethnically diverse areas.’

The katter kids are saying the same thing as cory barnardi [anti-gay, gays = bestiality/paedo], perhaps they are in the wrong party.
more hansonism from the country [and qld] folk, that’s where the real australians live!

Ah yes, up to speed now. Katters klowns are spouting.
This is a good example of why l usually find our
poilticians are of average or below, in intelligence and ability.
=
Set aside the `right-thing-to-do` argument for a moment.
=
lf Katter was a better man and politician he would do this,
in Canberra, remain low profile on gay-marriage, but not do an Abbott and flee the media, when pushed, give the generic
`l still want to hear all sides of story` line, and Buy himself some breathing space.
=
ln his KAP he should have gone pro gay-marriage and lined up his ducks along the line of
`we have no business telling the folks in Newtown Sydney (wink, wink) how to live their lives` and `l won`t allow my party and Queenslanders to be used to push the ignorant yokel argument line for the benefit of Sydney bogans`
=
What we can see from this is that Katter and his party fulfill and will continue to fulfill the truth of poilticians are of average or below, in intelligence and ability.
=
Katter has built his party, and has policy and members who have not been able to read the `gay-marriage` writing on the wall. lt will happen, as it has in other parts of the world.
LOL `poilticians`
It’s a terrible shame that too many heterosexuals have been duped by homosexual activism. Some of us actually know about Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen’s book, “After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the ’90s.” We know about their cunning six-point plan to change heterosexual’s views. A quote from the book: “We intend to make the anti-gays look so nasty that average Americans will want to disassociate themselves from such types”. Their six-point plan proposed other tactics like using heterosexuals as homosexual protectors and homosexuals playing the “victim card”. Too many heterosexuals have jumped naively on the bandwagon of supporting homosexual rights without even bothering to find out about the roots of this whole movement.
Homosexual activists have been belligerent and relentless in taking action (e.g., law suits), especially in the USA, to further their cause. Even when sued, they have counter-sued – to that extent they are so militant and uncompassionate. San Fransisco is a clear example of this militancy.
Homosexuals have complained for years about “homophobia” from heterosexuals. However, when one investigates deeper into the GLBT sphere, there are complex issues of prejudice and discrimination in that sphere, which homosexuals are not revealing to us. There is tremendous and undeniable hypocrisy on the part of homosexuals because they have carried out their own “biphobia” towards bisexuals.
Supposedly, they are interested in “marriage equality”. This platform is only really about pushing for gay marriage – do you hear them pushing for marriage for polyamorists or others? If caucasian Australians accept Vietnamese and Iranians only, and do not accept Indians, Africans, and others, is this true “racial equality”? Of course not!
I appeal to you that before you criticise people like Ms Corbett or Mr Katter, find out the facts for yourself and find out the roots of the homosexual movement that has lead us to this point we are at today.
More TeaBag nonsense that supports the wrong and is bad politics.
Only the chronically stupid don`t see it.

I can only assume that the arsehat comment about teh eeeevil gay agenda was serious & not tongue in cheek…. 🙄
It’s a pushbutton issue for insecure biblestroking fucktards in the US who are really just being distracted away from their own duopoly orchestrated misery with the ultimate “look over there”.
Apparently now gaining some traction with the fringe here in OZ…& exposing that lunatic from Qld’s party for what we all know it really is.
“_arsehat comment about teh eeeevil gay agenda was serious_”
and
“_insecure biblestroking fucktards in the US_”
Now who do we know like that.?
Apparently now gaining some traction with the fringe here in OZ…& exposing that lunatic from Qld’s party for what we all know it really is.
I wonder about that. I think they are well and truly in the mainstream here. They are hiding in plain sight and have control of the coalition which is our other major political party. Abbott is one of them. The frightening thing is if abbott wins the election we will have a tea party government. Lunatics yes, scary yes, extreme yes and right here, right now, ready to govern. The cory bernardi types control the liberal party and bernardi is still recruiting teabaggers and strategising through their well funded corporate shelters.
All hidden activity of course, don’t want the public to know about their ‘vision’ for australia.
The slipper/ashby controversy is a result of abbot and qld LNP teabaggers conspiring to bring down the government of the day. There isn’t much difference between them and katter’s lot IMO.
BTW, Good to see you toiletboss!
Pimping newsltd style!
Pimping Ain’t Easy:
http://wixxyleaks.com/2013/01/25/pimping-aint-easy/
This is a company that unquestionably draws a huge income from promoting brothels, sex lines, and prostitutes…
…Prostitution and pimping pay for the services and opinions of journalists and opinion writers alike at News Ltd.
But is it just prostitution that makes News Ltd a dodgy, immoral company that is not to be trusted? I come to this opinion based on News Ltd’s own portayal of those others involved to a lesser degree in the sex industry.
Many of the “Indian Beauty’s” and “Saucy Young Asian Girls” at these News Ltd clients are believed to be illegal immigrants, who allegedly work “off the books”. I contacted some of those advertised in todays paper regarding this, they would neither confirm or deny allegations of illegal workers. Those people who do work illegally, pay no tax, and are the kind of people normally described by News Ltd publications as bludgers or queue jumpers bleeding the Australian taxpayer dry.
…People like Andrew Bolt and Piers Akerman must sleep well knowing that their propaganda services are paid for by prostitution and with advertising paid for by employers of illegal immigrants, possibly even the people smugglers they claim to despise…
730reportland and toiletminorpissigloo – can you discern a difference between my posts and yours’? Mine is devoid of expletives, intimidation or personal criticism, and endeavours to convey solidity behind a factual argument.
In addition to biphobia carried out by homosexuals, “transphobia” has also been carried out by the same. Observe the words of the transsexual, Gianna E. Israel:
“During the early 1980s when having a transgender identity was less accepted by gays and lesbians, there were a variety of occasions I was verbally harassed or physically attacked by these persons. How dare you make us gays look bad by living as a woman. You have to leave, this may be the Castro, but we don’t serve your type of person in this business. Words hurt, but so did the spit, rocks and bottles I had thrown at me by hostile gay men. Such attacks these days would not be considered politically correct, although I still hear of those situations occurring from time to time.
Naturally at the time I discussed the transphobia I experienced with those gays and lesbians I considered supportive. They assured me that not all gays and lesbians hated transgender people. Despite those consoling words a deep anger remained inside of me. I found that this anger came out often at the most inconvenient times. In the future, when I encounter petty acts of transphobia from gays or lesbians, I feel I would throw a big fit! Can you image a full grown therapist throwing temper tantrums in public? These feelings arise most frequently when I am minding my own business, and I encounter a gay couple who was not content to leave me alone.”
When I was studying at an Australian university in the early 90’s, the homosexual group was distributing flyers to those in the bar area. The flyer appeared as a form of propaganda to me. It made claims such as that heterosexuality was not normal because we as children naturally interact with those of the same gender and spurn such interactions with those of the opposite one. How watery is this argument? Well, this begs the question – how did the being of these homosexuals come about? Did homosexuals come into being via homosexuality? Homosexuals were displaying their activistic orientation back then, which I saw first-hand as a young man.
With acceptance of homosexuality, the occurrences of harassment of heterosexuals by homosexuals will rise. My wife has faced such harassment, twice from one lesbian couple in the same supermarket on different occasions and once each from two different lesbians in different shopping centres. On one occasion, one of the former couple rubbed themselves against my wife while she reached for a product on the shelves. My wife was made to feel uncomfortable in every case. She and I are offended and infuriated by such behaviour. Is it unacceptable when a male perpetrates such harassment, yet somehow condonable if a female does it because they are of the same gender? I have experienced similar harassment from two different males. Both had invaded my personal space, which we all fully know is socially inappropriate behaviour. This type of harassment was unheard of when homosexuals knew their orientation had to be kept hidden. In fact, it will now be worse because both male and female homosexuals will be perpetrators unlike before when it was a male phenomenon. Things are changing since you and so many others wish to accept homosexuality. It would be indeed highly indecent and insensitive of anyone to defend such harassment.

Gee … G .. I just read your post … life must be very hard for you and your wife … why do homosexual people pick on you all the time … did you complain to them about it? I would have complained to super market management and then the police – if they rubbed themselves deliberately against you, that is, in fact, assault … a criminal offence …
Was anything actually said before they harrassed you and/or your wife physically … that’s a lot of “personal experience” in a very insightful post …
Just a personal observation of my own, your posts are rather long … having posted here myself for sometime, I can assure you that the attention span of most people here is extremely limited, most are essentially gay or gay supporters and I suspect its the result of a genetic “flaw” …
BTW – I’m heterosexual … perhaps we could exchange emails and photos? 🙂
“Words hurt, but so did the spit, rocks and bottles I had thrown at me by hostile gay men.”
Was it your dress sense…?
Are you from Queensland by any chance….??
The church-troll sounds like one of those `in-denial` of own desires types.
“sounds like one of those `in-denial` of own desires types”
That crossed my mind too.. Especially with this bit..
“On one occasion, one of the former couple rubbed themselves against my wife while she reached for a product on the shelves.”
Is it possible that your wife was “giving off signals….?”
Was she reaching for a flannelette shirt….? A packet of Winfield reds…?? Sensible shoes…..???

Yes, I realise that 730, it will have abbott dusting off the ‘australians for honest politics’ slush fund again. But, the coalition is the alternative govt choice in our political duopoly and lots of people are completely ignorant of the nutjobs hidden within, I think they are kept bound and gagged in a back room somewhere.
The slush fund already exists, it’s being run by the sly and devious “behind-the-scenes” cory bernardi.

Cory is a great asset to everybody else. His own words leave no doubt to onlookers that he would be running around in his bed-sheets or goose-stepping with swastikas given half the chance.

That’s just awful, reb, typical gayboy humour! 🙄
Umm, TB Queensland – I didn’t say homosexuals “pick on us all the time”. These are a few incidents we have experienced that have arisen because of allowing homosexuality to no longer be a hidden shame, thanks to people like you all. Yes, you are most correct that it is a criminal offence, it’s not that I didn’t realise that. The number of criminal offenses by homosexuals will now rise because of acceptance of their sexuality. And maybe we will now complain if such incidents ever arise rather than be intimidated because of the change in the climate.
Umm, reb, those were not my words but those of the transsexual I cited.
730 – what makes you think I am a “church-troll”? How do you know I am not a Muslim since it is said “Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!” (Qur’an 27:55) and “Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)! ” (Qur’an 26:165). You shouldn’t assume that only Christians or church people disagree with homosexuality.
730 – heard that nonsense many times before that if one is against homosexuality then one is a “closet homosexual”. By that reasoning, maybe you are a closet Christian? Go on, maybe you really want to be a Christian and are in denial?
armchair – there was no way any of these perpetrators knew anything of our disagreement with homosexuality. The situations were not such that this could happen and were spontaneous. Please do not invent explanations that are untrue.
We know that when humans are unable to deal with a comfortable situation, they will apply humour to it, which can be seen from your posts. You are facing reality which you simply cannot deny, so you resort to humour and belittling others (not the behaviour of genuine human rights supporters) to deal with it.
For your information, posters, of which you all know absolutely nothing about, my wife receives harassment and inappropriate attention from men all the time, simply because she is very attractive. She is absolutely fed up and sick and tired of males bothering her. There would hardly be a week where she doesn’t complain to me about this. The lengths that a few of them have gone to, when she has told them she is a married woman, is repugnant. So no, she doesn’t send out signals or such, either to males or females. Maybe you should find out facts first before supposing that my wife sent signals or interest in lesbians. You now owe my wife, who is insulted by your comments, an apology. No, I am NOT joking.
My observation of your behaviour from your responses is that you are *not* truly interested in human rights, which you would have us to believe based on interest in homosexual rights. Certainly my experience in this forum is not that of one who is seeing human rights in action. You are interested only in furthering a particular cause out of self-interest or cannot handle your innate desires, no more than a paederast can handle theirs.
We live in post-modern times of subjectivity where supposedly all opinions are equally valid and each has a right to their opinion. Homosexuals have used this characteristic of post-modernism to further their cause, but again in hypocrisy, they want to silence those who disagree with them! I am forbidden to disagree with homosexuality, homosexual marriage and so forth, but I am patted on the back an in a western nation and given lip service that I am allowed to hold my own opinion. Terrible hypocrisy!
From looking at all your posts, I can conclude two points:
1. You do not conduct the practice of establishing facts, which is the same reason why you lack knowledge about homosexual activism, biphobia and transphobia by homosexuals, sexual harassment by homosexuals, etc.
2. You propose suppositions to explain what you have read in my posts, which you are unable to handle.
Jesus, between “G” here and Catching Up over at “The Australian Independent Media Network” I’ve really got my hands full this arvo… Maybe it’s the heat.
“The number of criminal offenses by homosexuals will now rise because of acceptance of their sexuality. And maybe we will now complain if such incidents ever arise rather than be intimidated because of the change in the climate.
“G” makes a lot of sense.
the church-troll is very YAAWWWWWWWWN
Umm, TB Queensland – I didn’t say homosexuals “pick on us all the time”. These are a few incidents we have experienced that have arisen because of allowing homosexuality to no longer be a hidden shame, thanks to people like you all.
G, I really am envious, I’ve spent an (adult) lifetime waiting to be sexually harrassed (by anyone 😉 ) … I was amazed that you and your wife were seemingly targetted by gays … then of course I read further down your (lengthy – gentle reminder?) that your wife is attractive to both male and female alike … your marriage must be extremely strong and fraught with innuendo and passion … congratulations for defending your conjugal rights so well!
I have known my wife for 46 years and been married for 44 of those years … as I said earlier, I would love to exchange email addresses and photos …
Yes, you are most correct that it is a criminal offence, it’s not that I didn’t realise that.
But you took no action? You sound like a model citizen … surely, its your duty to society – let alone your “very attractive” wife, to make examples of gay thugs … I would!
The number of criminal offenses by homosexuals will now rise because of acceptance of their sexuality. And maybe we will now complain if such incidents ever arise rather than be intimidated because of the change in the climate.
This is a fascinating paragraph and I struggle to make sense of the correlation between homosexuality and climate change … are you intimidated by gays and/or climate change?
FYI, gays only baffle me and I’m agnostic regarding climate change …
G, have you ever been driven to the point of suicide because of the ’emotional torture’ you receive over your sexual preferences?
Of course you haven’t.
You might need to take a crash course on empathy.
Miglo
Have you ever been harrassed by someone from the gay community … your comment reeks of confontation!
TB, only from reb.

But, reb, has never “rubbed” himself against you? G, has experienced this!
I’m now seriously concerned about my son and grandsons and my best friend and the way they give me hugs on special occasions … is it covert homosexuality?
I know that one in five (and I have five grandchildren) will be gay … which one and just what do I do?
Mocking, G and me is not helping BTW!
You may think that’s funny, reb … BTW you are gay aren’t you … you sound like it?
Consider yourself lucky TB…

I have five brothers in my family, I’m not sure which one is Chinese but I suspect it could be Harry Chan.

Why do you make fun of such a serious issue? You and your friend, Miglo, need to get help …
You do know that people like you are like a disease on society … throwbacks like dwarfs and giants ,,, the rest of us have moved on …
“You do know that people like you are like a disease on society”
Yes, as a friend of mine (a political activist) said on facebook today…
You might not like us, and what we have to say, but we’re a bit like herpes.

The number of criminal offenses by homosexuals will now rise because of acceptance of their sexuality.
And will they rise to anywhere near the number of offences committed by the ‘accepted’ heterosexuals?
Maybe that will be a sign of true equality, the freedom to commit criminal offences without fear of stigmatising all homosexuals 😆
Please do not invent explanations that are untrue
Like invented transgender stories and minding-their-own-business-persecuted heterosexual couple attacked for no reason at all whilst out shopping?
For your information, posters, of which you all know absolutely nothing about, my wife receives harassment and inappropriate attention from men all the time,
Along with the rest of the female population, it happens on a daily basis – only it comes from heterosexual males not gays. It is called sexism. Women can’t even walk the street without unwanted sexual harassment.

I’ve challenged Catching Up to explain by what she means when she says things like “we” and “us” and “our visitors” but she refuses to explain.
I like to think that Miglo is having a real crack at the “Independent” Media thing and so far I’m encouraged by the acceptance of non-Julia-Gillard-loving opinions..
Kitty, I almost bashed this girl to death today because she touched my arm. In the 1990’s is she was a bloke I would’ve been perfectly entitled to murder her and walk away from the courts a free man because she represented an “affront to my masculinity.”

I have to say I think you were a bit hard on CU reb, it seemed to me that you were looking to pick a fight and I thought it was bullying. It’s as if CU irritates you so much that you feel compelled to lash out, which then reflects badly upon you.
Why not just forgive and forget…release yourself?
Just sayin’
lt`s a good thing we have fine women like Tess Corbett to guide `loose` women like Joolya toward the acl and salvation, hallalluya!
Thank you AO, but CU seems to think I should be grateful for the fact that Julia Gillard as “come so far” on the issue of gay marriage..
Last time I checked JG was steadfastly against it.
It’s regrettable if I appeared to be bullying, which certainly isn’t in my nature, but yes I am prone to “lash out” at self-evident stupidity when it presents itself.
“Why not just forgive and forget…release yourself?”
Oh I harbour no ill will AO… I learnt to abandon pent up anger a long long time ago…
I think it was Buddha that said that holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
I don’t harbour much anger these days, just amazement at how stupid and gullible some people can be..
Kitty, I almost bashed this girl to death today because she touched my arm. In the 1990′s is she was a bloke I would’ve been perfectly entitled to murder her and walk away from the courts a free man because she represented an “affront to my masculinity.”
I imagine you became uncontrollably enraged 😆
Don’t they still have and use that law as a defence in qld to get men off murder raps?
Male sensitivities being so delicate and all, unlike women who have to accept it as a common occurrence wherever they go and whatever they do.
l agree with reb armchair, cu was being willfuly dumb/stubborn
“Don’t they still have and use that law as a defence in qld to get men off murder raps?”
I’m not sure about QLD but I’m pretty sure it’s no longer a legitimate defence in NSW,…
Well I don’t know about “wilfully dumb” 730..
Some people are just dumb whether they’re aware of it or not…
I think CU just has her “I love Julia” glasses on and can’t understand why some people disagree.
I give CU some allowances for being elderly and having had a fairly hard life, points for being involved and even internet savvy at her age, when many of her contemporaries are just sitting at home, lonely, bored and often overlooked and under appreciated by a youth focused society.
Don’t crush what might be a very important aspect of her existence.
There’s plenty of others with more annoying and inflammatory opinions.
Don’t talk to me about plenty up anger! Here on the Victorian coast-
*The surf is too crowded

Fair enough AO and good point.
I just get a bit sick and tired of CU berating me for not thanking JG enough for what she’s done for marriage equality…
Colour me fkn confused…
“There’s plenty of others with more annoying and inflammatory opinions”
Speak of the devil….
Don’t they still have and use that law as a defence in qld to get men off murder raps?
Do they? mmmm …

Those are good points, KL, CU is entiltled to her “opinion” as we all are** … but if you offer it, you must accept that some will challenge it … one of the reasons thee and me still post at TDT I suspect …
BTW, like sex, age is inevitable and not an excuse …
Disclaimer: like KL, I admire CU … just sayin’ ..
**I was talking to an old friend ‘tother day, asame age as me and he said, “I have no idea how to turn on a computer let alone use one” …

My elderly mother is a staunch ALP supporter, she’d be horrified if she thought anyone went easy on her in a political discussion. She’d consider that an insult to her sharp mind.

yes, i do understand that. We know JG has completely whimped out on marriage equality. I think there’s been a deal done at some time with the religious right labor faction [perhaps the ACL lobbyists too] and she can’t do anything without a major revolt on her hands. She’s too scared of losing votes, it’s the only reason I can think of for her refusal to do what is right.

So does CU I daresay, I’m just hoping she doesn’t read this 😯
Good. I’m no longer being picked on. 🙂
“She’s too scared of losing votes”
Obviously. Losing votes is “more important” than actually doing “what’s right” and what “the majority of Australians” actually want.
Heck, even in religious right wing nut job USA, Obama has come out swinging in favour of gay rights.
He makes Gillard look like the pathetic piece of shit* that she is..

Nailed it, KL … good leaders don’t GAF! That’s why I have always been a fan of PJK …isn’t he gay?
“isn’t he gay?”
No, despite the fact that he wears nice Italian suits and collects clocks…
I SAID CLOCKS…!!

I would still be polite even in disagreement, I would respect her for her age and her generation [they are usually pretty polite and civil to others], but that’s just me!

Exactly TB, and that’s why I’ve always been a fan of Obama.

“l found the `scourge` concept the rusted-on`s have toward swing voters a little perverse”
I found it very odd…
It started off as a piece critical of so-called “swinging voters”
Then it became “what’s wrong with swinging voters anyway,” and then “who are you to criticise” and then “what’s so special about them” and then “they’re better than rusted on voters” and then “tell me why they should be treated differently” and then “why are you so against us” and then “who asked you anyway” and then “they’re not so bad after all” and then “why swinging voters are essential” even though they’re all dumb, but we didn’t say that…
Yes, I think I follow that argument… 😯
* I was struggling to think of another less-offensive descriptor but this one seemed the most appropriate in the context.
points for trying reb 😆
I think that JG and the labor right have disappointed a lot of progressives with their conservatism. Even her own party had to roll her on the Israel/UN vote [abstention] and I’m pleased they did, but look at all the fuss in the newsltd press about that. The single parent and asylum seeker
policypunishment is not labor, more trying to get votes away from abbott.She really thinks the way to win the election is by appealing to the middle, and she may be right according to their polling, but Labor’s lack of social progression is the reason I vote Greens. Labor don’t seem to care about losing the votes of ‘lefties’.
I would still preference Labor over that ‘pathetic piece of shit’ tony abbott, can’t stand him and all he represents. My elderly mum is so enraged at seeing him on the telly she screams for someone to give her a gun, so she can shoot him!
Heck, even in religious right wing nut job USA, Obama has come out swinging in favour of gay rights.
He makes Gillard look like the pathetic piece of shit* that she is…
He can afford to this time, he can’t stand for election again. Doubt he’ll get much through the senate though, none of it will become a reality.
“My elderly mum is so enraged at seeing him on the telly she screams for someone to give her a gun, so she can shoot him!”
Your mum makes a lot of sense. 🙂
“l found the `scourge` concept the rusted-on`s have toward swing voters a little perverse”
Yeah, I don’t really get that, I have tended to think the swingers are all for self interest, they vote purely for who is going to give them the most $.
“none of it will become a reality”
I have a dream (as someone once said)
Julia Gillard doesn’t even have “the dream”
in fact, what does she have, aside from a deep-rooted sense of self-preservation…?
Labor supporters (myself included) have been sold a turkey with Gillard.
The only thing that amazes me is the way in which so many people are prepared to buy what little she has to offer…
The only thing that amazes me is the way in which so many people are prepared to buy what she what little she has to offer…
Because, they can’t bear tony abbott. His nasty attacking style, his offensive sexism, his abuse of the courts and sleazy muckraking has got people so riled up. They accept that julia must do whatever she must to win votes, it’s all on a knife edge…and abbott must never be elected to government.
AO – your elderly mother doesn’t seem as polite as mine.
She also can’t stand Abbott, but stops short of wishing to shoot him.
She also can’t understand why Gillard punishes asylum seekers and wishes to discriminate against gays. She got that much right.
…but she thinks Gillard’s proven dishonesty is just one of those things…all politicians are like that.
Maybe she is losing her mind.
‘Labor supporters (myself included) have been sold a turkey with Gillard.’
Sadly true.

AO – You can find about that transsexual’s experience on the web: http://www.firelily.com/gender/gianna/homophobia.html. While you are at it, why don’t you go to http://www.bilerico.com/2009/12/upon_further_reflection_and_deliberation.php, which is in reference to a transphobic article written by a prejudiced homosexual. View the anger from transgender supporters towards this article and the Bilerico editorial team. Ironically, a homosexual’s right to his personal opinion has been impeded!
AO – In relation to the incident with my wife and myself, why do you even question something that we unfortunately experienced and is as true as true can be? By the same token, I can question everything you have stated and your own integrity, and I have no reason to believe your views at all. Is it because you are unable to handle the truth I put before you?
And the apology to my wife? Did I expect this from pseudo-human rights advocates?
From Stanley Kurtz (PhD in social anthropology):
“Gay marriage is part and parcel of a whole new stage of marital decline — a stage still relatively unfamiliar in the United States. In this new stage of marital decline, couples don’t just cohabit before they become parents. Couples cohabit even after they become parents. Because gay marriage helps to break apart the ideas of marriage and parenthood, it is closely associated with this advanced stage of marital decline.”
and
“The National Swedish Social Insurance Board recently convened a panel in which two legal experts recommended changes in Swedish family law. One invoked same-sex parenting to argue for legal recognition of three- and even four-parent families. According to this scholar, the antiquated two-parent standard virtually forces lesbian couples to find anonymous sperm donors, rather than form a more complex family with, say, gay sperm donors to whom they feel close.
The polyamory movement has reached Sweden, and there are now Swedes who would seize on triple or quadruple parenting to usher in legalized polyamory. By the way, this conference invoked the well-known fact (the one Spedale denies) that families with unmarried parents dissolve at higher rates. Yet here the figures on rising family dissolution were used to justify the rejection of traditional dual parenthood. With so many dissolved cohabitors and gay parents, why not do away with the two-parent standard altogether? So as Sweden combines formal gay marriage with adoption rights for same-sex couples, the dawn of quadruple parenting and polyamory looms. So much for Frank’s claim that formal gay marriage will reinforce the link between marriage and parenthood.” [S. Kurtz, “The Marriage Mentality”, National Review Online, 4 May 2004]
Abbott plans to dispel over three years of entrenched negativity in only seven to ten months*. Coalition spinmeisters are already hard at work, backgrounding senior journalists on the transition secure in the knowledge that if the media can be convinced about its effectiveness then so can the public.

C’mon, egg, no-brainer … do eggs have imagination?
“Marriage is a way that government exerts social control. I’m uncomfortable supporting it. I’m interested in changing society, not assimilation.”, Homosexual activist, James Wagner.
“Our movement has become about lusting for weddings and lavender picket fences…It’s so embarrassing–I feel like turning in my gay card”, Homosexual activist, William Dobbs.
“Marriage is a problematic goal in terms of gay sexuality. It doesn’t exactly deny sexuality, but it does seek to tame it. Yet the monogamous ideal enshrined in marriage is a challenge regardless of one’s sexual orientation. With the Census Bureau reporting that divorce rates are climbing and new marriages decreasing, it seems that gays are fighting to get into a burning house. If the legalization of gay marriage is achieved, will homosexuals be further marginalized if they can’t or won’t conform to a heterosexual ideal that even straight people can’t meet? Careful polling would help answer the question of whether marriage is even a widely shared goal within the gay community.
Many gays in the U.S. will breathe a sigh of relief at the idea that gay life is no longer defined solely by sex. And marriage may be a noble goal for some. But in redefining what it means to be gay in America, the gay community itself is on the verge of marginalizing those who refuse to conform to a system of heterosexual morality.”, Homosexual activist, Patrick Moore
G, are you frightened by gay marriage?
If you are … why? (don’t quote me someone else’s “moralistic ideas” … I killed too many of them at uni … give me yours … (anyone can cut and paste … and I’ve never met an expert yet … only people with stronger opinions that the 80%)

I simply don’t care. I don’t think your story is relevant to anything. You can’t extrapolate one isolated incident as representative of the entire gay community.
I just wish I knew why it is all so upsetting for you, why you are so fearful of people being able to do something that will have absolutely no effect on you and your wife’s life and marriage.
By the way, this conference invoked the well-known fact (the one Spedale denies) that families with unmarried parents dissolve at higher rates.
I’d like to see some stats on that assertion. Could it be that more people are choosing to live in de facto arrangements?
http://www.cato.org/events/gay-marriage-evidence-europe
William N. Eskridge Jr. and Darren R. Spedale find that the argument often advanced is inconsistent with the Scandinavian evidence. In no way, they write, has marriage in the Nordic countries suffered from legalization of same-sex unions. A close look at the data suggests that the sanctioning of gay marriage in the United States would neither undermine marriage as an institution nor harm the well-being of children. Maggie Gallagher argues that the move toward gay marriage in Europe is part of a larger marriage crisis, including a powerful trend away from marriage as a social norm for childbearing and child rearing.
http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/4102.0Main+Features20March%202009
Consistent with the declining proportion of people in couple relationships has been the fall in the proportion who were in a registered marriage, from 62% in 1986 to 52% in 2006. On the other hand, there has been an increase in the proportion of adults in de facto relationships, which more than doubled from 4% to 9% over the period.
Why not just let people do as they wish?
Stop agonising over what other people do in their marriage, their lives and their bedroom. It’s hard enough to find happiness as it is.

Some examples of prejudice and excuses for it-
*Why would a black person want to ride on the same bus/go to the same school as white people? They’re better off mixing with their own kind.
*Why would we train women? They only get married, have a family and leave.
*Why leave those aboriginal children with their mother? They’d be better off living with a Christian family and getting an education.
*Why would gay couples wish to marry? Churches have …

Albo is doing this because he knows Mr-Rabbits mob don`t have a hope in hell of picking any of these seats up, only the greens do.

Yes, it started with howard when the stay-at-home mum’s got rewarded with baby bonuses and Abbott’s govt will pay the high earning mum’s their usual wage to stay home. If only Abbott could bring back his “Battlelines” 1950’s era policy to disallow no-fault divorce, make them go to court and force women stay with their financial controller/abusers. Of course you would have to combine it with ensuring that women could not survive on a single parent pension then men could resume their rightful place as head of the house.

I don’t think gays will ever go back into the closet.
Don’t forget the bill allowing religion to discriminate also affects heterosexual women as well as gays. Religious bodies can discriminate due to pregnancy, perceived future pregnancy, single parent, lifestyle [apparently doesn’t matter if men run around making babies out of wedlock]
I agree with you, however I know that abbott’s mob would offer nothing either, so for me, the status quo remains. On gay marriage, Gillard is not reducing any rights that are already in existence [she is on the single parent’s though, abbott could always offer more to wedge, but he hasn’t].
Labor hasn’t been socially progressive for many years, I don’t know why people were expecting so much more of Gillard than any of the others. The power is with the lobbyists and the right wing union faction of labor, we know what would happen if gillard caved, there’d be another right wing coup, she’d be knifed just as Rudd was. To me, the real debate should be to stop the taxpayer funding of religion. Let religious bodies stand alone and be funded privately by their supporters.
Perhaps we really do need another hung parliament so the Greens can force gay marriage through?
What about the fakeness of tony abbott, the wealthy elitist who is conning all with his ‘man of the ordinary people’ pretence. As if he [as he said in his campaign launch] has ever had to worry about household bills in his entire life. He is not ‘one of us’ but the believers have swallowed his phonyness hook, line and sinker, all because he goes jogging, swimming, cycling and campaigns in lib friendly blue collar industries and is arrogantly anti female equality, just like them.

As we’ve noted before, Abbott has little interest in consistency. That his Sunday address contained statements that contradicted not merely the most basic principles of economics, but his own clearly articulated views, is of no moment. And anyway, this was a campaign speech, and such speeches are the last place you want serious content and rigid adherence to fact. Such events are about geeing up the faithful, about creating energy, about generating positive imagery.

“Albo is doing this because he knows Mr-Rabbits mob don`t have a hope in hell of picking any of these seats up, only the greens do.”
The LNP has a very good chance of picking up those Western Sydney seats like Parramatta just as Barry O’Farrell swept through them in the last state election.
Albasleazy is scared shitless by the Greens because he is in an inner city seat as is Tanya Plibersek.
“….That his Sunday address contained statements that contradicted not merely the most basic principles of economics….”

and plenty of LOLing, but you added no info or explainer.
You need better sources, l suggest the afr, which occasionally out-breaks in journalism.
“……….but you added no info or explainer. ”
And of course you did.
But you forgot to post it 🙂
I pop into Port Macquarie quite regularly. Sometimes Coffs Harbour.
When I went to Port during the 2010 election Oakeshottt was popular, I think about 1 in 10 houses and businesses displayed his poster. It was incredible.
I’ve been back numerous times since. People can’t stand him, I think it is because he now gets more coverage. Also that this is a conservative area, there is no version of Byron Bay or Nimbin, there is no industry, there is no base real base to support the ALP.
People thought they were getting an independent National, I think that’s what they want and I don’t think Oakeshott can reinvent himself.
When was the last time you went to Lyne yomm?
and have you been to the `inland` parts? That is, not the coastal, l suspect tourism is getting hit with high $, that hurt coaster`s. l know years ago when port-macq industry shut it was still in the doledrums. l suspect Oakeshott may suffer a bit of what Joolya suffers from with some alp voters. They hate her guts but brings home bacon to some extent.
I was there in October. Port Macquarie is no more of a tourist destination than (say) Warrnambool in Victoria, it’s a regional centre.
Coffs Harbour is certainly a tourist destination.
I go Port Macquarie reasonably regularly because it isn’t a real tourist destination.
I’ll be back there soon, and I’ll update my opinions.
we have heard from the pants-wetting/cheer-leading jock shock,
Lesson Two, Tasmania
All the hyperventilating under the sun won`t gain for Mr-Rabbit on the apple isle. This state is highly progressive in social and environmental views. Wilkie will be returned and Credlins eggs carry no weight in Tassie. lf there is an electorate that wants to return to 1890, please let me know which one jock shock.
“Wilkie will be returned”
Agreed..
Thanks a lot tricky dicky, that radio is just what I want, I’ll check it out!
The flash one that TB’s linked to looks good, has loads of features, but is very highly priced when all I want is a little portable tranny.

If you have a Smart phone just download the Tunein Radio App for free . Then use headphones or the speaker on your phone.
Besides the factory apps its my most used app on my iPhone. So much so that all my friends now have it
Yes
Wilkie will be returned
Those quotes from the Quran above: had I quoted from the Bible, you would have lashed out with terms like “bigot” and endless blasphemies. However, you were all silent when I displayed those quotes from the Quran, which in your books should indicate intolerance towards homosexuality. Are you all intimidated by Islam?
TB – do I fear gay marrriage? My question is why is that when one shows even any disagreement with homosexuality that the “-phobe” term is used in a reactionary manner? Why should disagreement with this issue be met with “Homophobe!”? Folks, when someone disagrees with something, it doesn’t mean they “fear” it!! Post-modernism means diversity of thoughts and views, so if I hold a view contrary to yours, then in this supposed enlightened day and age you should be accepting of that view without maligning me with the “-phobe” suffix. After all, homosexual activists have been buttressed by post-modernism in achieving their goals.
You might want to look at http://www.lesbilicious.co.uk/why-do-lesbians-hate-bisexuals/ to view an article about predudice from homosexuals to lesbians. Some views from readers there:
“Yes, there is a big problem of bi women calling themselves lesbians and eroding our identity.” Laura
“For all of you angry lesbians out there, thanks for making the real bisexuals feel like crap. I hate what I am, and I wish I were either gay or straight. And no, you can’t make yourself one or the other; surely you know that. If you think that our feeling for the same sex aren’t genuine, then you are missing out on a lot of amazing people.” Mina
“Gurl you will unfortunately learn the hard way. How sure are you that your bisexual gf isn’t f- some guy? Newsflash, bisexuals can’t live without MEN. Do yourself a favor and get rid of her. As for all the other lesbians you know, they too will sadly learn the hard way. Bisexuals and lesbians don’t belong together. Lesbians always get the short end of the stick when it comes to the bisexuals. Leave them to the men.” Jess
“Mina, as far as I’m concerned, u r more LGBTQ family than any of the bigoted ‘lesbians’ spouting their biphobia on here.” Bex
“Just because myself a other lesbians aren’t into being used doesn’t mean we hate them. I’m just not stupid enough to put myself in a situation doomed to failure from the get go.Bisexuals need to stay out of the LESBIAN community.” Rean
“I am pretty disgusted by bisexual women.I wish it weren’t true…I haven’t had any negative experiences with a woman as a direct result of her bisexuality.I’ve been quite lucky in love and have enjoyed many relationships with women over the last 20 plus years that I’ve been dating…I’ve dated several bi women cos I liked them but I must say I was pretty disgusted by them the entire time.” G Johnson
G, is “Lesbilicious” amongst your favourite list of reading material…..?
(Just wondering)..
Why should disagreement with this issue be met with “Homophobe!”?
I didn’t use the word homophobe, G, you did … but you fogged the question I asked.
I tend to agree with, sreb, you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time “researching” the differenct sexes … it just seems either fearful or unhealthy …
I have a dislike for ALL organised religions who try to dominate the way ALL people live and think … but I don’t spend time checking out their websites of hatred, greed and hypocrisy …
Hahaha, the ol’ islam chestnut.
Crawl back under your rock, G.
Brainstorm some more rubbish to justify your peculiarity.
“_quotes from the Quran above: had I quoted from the Bible,_”
.
WRONG. Phairy-Tales phrom Phobe-Phlocks are usually just ignored by Non-Believers, a Lesson our mid-west church-troll hasn`t Learned.
oh,oh, G, you stumbled into a hornet’s nest!
I’ve been married for 44 years, only because my wife and I didn’t want to upset our parents … “tradition” is a difficult thing to deal with … we were quite happy with a registry Office … can you see the hypocrisy here? Our parents BELIEVED so we kept them HAPPY … they didn’t care about our BELIEFS … we’re agnostic BTW … power and pressure … what about the gay folk who DO believe … would you deny them the right to be accepted … God made them He knows …
I was baptised because my parents believed that if I died I wouldn’t go to heaven – what crap, didn’t JC say “suffer the little children to come unto me” … no mention of dropping water all over my forehead (and I was seven so I remember all the nonsense) …
… my sister (seven years my junior – our parents were the same) became a Catholic to wed again … second marriage, so the Pope knows her … she married a potential multi-millionaire – who now is one … what a mean sprited, nasty, self-centred, conniving, thieving, cheating, bitch she has become and a Liberal voter extarodinaire … her husband used to be quite a noice fella … till he was put in his place …
And BTW Are you all intimidated by Islam? NO-ONE on this blog is intimidated by anyone … especially you, G. Johnson …
I don’t speak for the Blogmeaster here and never will … but if you you were on my website I’d simply tell you to FUCK OFF and peddle your nonsense elsewhere!
Or stick around and we’ll have some more fun with you …
G would be welcome at the cafe.
G, see, egg’s, having fun witn you already … 🙄
I think that’s about the most passionate post I’ve ever read from you TB…
I LIKE IT A LOT!
🙂
Ta, sreb … bigots annoy me (of all kinds) … you know that … but super bigots need cutting down to size …
Is that really my most passionate?
yes.

seems the sexparty is on your side mate, too bad the duopoly can`t be dragged into 21st century
OK …
usually teabags are the kooky one`s, but over at coffee-3 l posted a comment that got moderated out, Barry Tucker has upset himself over a single `r` typo on my ABC website, demanded an explainer, which he is not happy with and is now complaining to Ack-MA. lt`s amusing and l thought you`lot` would enjoy an example of Leftism going kooky.
=========
here`s the post,
http://truthinmediaresourcecentre.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/outrageous-slur-appears-on-abc-news-website/
and here`s my comment that didn`t survive,
=========
Is this a Limited-News job application Barry.?
.
Look at this tweet (you supplied)
.
@steveCannane says
It was a mistake, and a bad one, but it was a typo, can`t see how a typo is about respect, or class. No intent.
Keywords = MISTAKE, TYPO, INTENT
.
But you didn`t make the case that any of these keywords are false in your post. Don`t you really need to state how or why it is NOT a typo, NOT a mistake or, there WAS intent.?
.
By not stating how these keywords are false, it seems to me that your `adjectives` are way over-blown.
.
Outrageous slur appears on ABC News website
is really
spellcheck failure appears on ABC News website
.
lost control of at least some of its staff
becomes
lost control of at least some of its accuracy
.
etc, etc. I just don`t think it does us, the citizen bloggers any good to be as overblown as the embedded-media.
.
The embedded media is awash in *derp and plenty of stuff worthy to head-kick them over.
Gay marriage is a human right.
That’s no typo, 730 … that’s an ABC mole or should it be a Liberal Party mole in the ABC
Have you got a reason, or evidence to back that TB.
l too suspect, it could be,
” that’s an ABC mole or should it be a Liberal Party mole in the ABC “
but prove it.? NO
l could also suspect that `Juliar` has already been added to the spell-check during the many unhinged 2gb/alan-jones reports that have been done, but not prove that either.
Hey @jonaholmesMW _ Is `Juliar` in the Ultimo Spell-Check.? _ #myabc
LOL!
Have you got a reason, or evidence to back that TB.
I could give you a few reasons, 007, but sadly nyet evidence
And yet much harder to sneak, The Mad Monk, into the spellchecker?
If only we could – he might get spammed! 😛
l tweeted Holmes, TB. lt will be interesting to see if he replies.
Watch your r’s, 7.30.
Very suttle … sp 🙂
for the love if god… 🙄
if god what? 😕
🙂 Chuckle …
Good site you have got here.. It’s difficult to find excellent writing like yours these days. I truly appreciate people like you! Take care!!
‘Russian police have detained dozens of people who clashed during a protest in Saint Petersburg against new anti-gay legislation.
‘Up to 100 people took part in the march organised by the group Ravnopraviye (Equal Rights) to protest against the bill. Police intervened with batons when the marchers were confronted by an equal number of anti-gay activists throwing eggs, smoke flares and stones.
‘Critics say the legislation, passed by the Russian parliament two weeks ago, effectively bans gay rights rallies and could be used to prosecute anyone voicing support for gay people.’
Guardian
I must thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this blog.
I’m hoping to see the same high-grade content by you later on as well.
In fact, your creative writing abilities has motivated me to get my very own website now 😉
