Right said Fred!
Bumbling git and religious nutjob, the so-called “Reverend” Fred Nile is set to hold the balance of power in the New South Wales Government in the aftermath of the recent State election.
Reverend Nile’s vote is crucial to the re-elected Liberal Government, and in the weeks since the election he has already met with Premier Mike Baird to pray at him.
Moderates are concerned that the 80 year old will use his new found power to prosecute his hate-filled agenda.
Fred is no stranger to controversy and is outspoken on his views regarding homosexuality which he calls a “mental disorder.” He is vehemently opposed to the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, which he describes as a “public parade of immorality and blasphemy”.
Each year, he holds a prayer vigil, asking god to literally “rain on the parade.” It has rained once in the last 20 years.
In 2005, Nile called for the repealing of New South Wales anti-vilification law, claiming that the law was “discriminatory” and was being abused to gag free speech and prevent public discussion about homosexuality and their perverse ways.
When Penny Wong announced in 2011 that her same-sex partner was pregnant, Nile publicly denounced Wong’s actions, saying “I’m totally against a baby being brought up by two mothers,” and “She needn’t have made it public. It just promotes their lesbian lifestyle and trying to make it natural where it’s unnatural.”
Nile is also a frequent critic of the Australian Greens, claiming that they have “exploited genuine concern for the environment” in order to garner political influence to “push their agenda of social engineering” (whatever that is).
Nile has criticised the Greens party for what he calls “duplicite political expediency,” citing their push to legalise and fund “illicit drug habits for addicts” such as heroin and cannabis.
He also labelled the Greens as being “anti-family,” “anti-Christian,” and “pagan,” citing what he believes to be pro-pornography and pro-sex industry policies and their opposition to the current practice of opening parliament with daily prayers.
Nile is also opposed to Muslim immigration and in 2010 attempted to introduced a bill to Parliament to ban the burqa and niqab.
He believes that “Halal certification” is imposing Sharia Law on all Australians.
Last year, Nile attended the controversial “World Congress of Families” event in Melbourne as guest speaker and supported the debunked theory that abortion causes breast cancer.
The Australian Medical Association, Cancer Australia and many other health and medical authorities have rejected the link between abortion and breast cancer.
However Mr Nile believes that proponents of the theory are being censored. He lashed out at protesters and journalists from the mainstream media waiting outside the event as “evil” and “speaking the words of the devil.”
His supporters within the Abbott Government include Senator Eric Abetz, Corey Bernardi and Kevin Andrews.

So, how long before they link welfare payments with abortion?
But rage is the enemy of wisdom. It delivers no understanding of the anti-vaccination problem (which it greatly exaggerates), and no insight that might solve it. It feels good to vent rage, but frankly, whatever we decide to do about vaccination, the aim shouldn’t be to make me feel good.

Labor needs to keep plugging away at this. People are not happy with this situation, especially after last budget.
Those two full on god bothered will pray together. Unfortunately Fred has forgotten about his expressed christian opposition to gambling and drinking and will happily vote for packers casino that den of iniquities and the power sell off where public assets magically transform into private profits. Hypocrites.
Today I’m organising my next surf holiday –around Biarritz, on the Atlantic coast in France
The food, wine & surf – the ideal holiday for mature types.
That looks nice ToM, is that your chateau on the right?

It’s kind of like saying vegans are imposing tofu on the rest of us ain’t it?
I bought some goat meat from a Halal butcher in Footscray last weekend.
It made a lovely curry, and oddly enough I didn’t feel compelled to blow anyone up afterwards.
But then it’s only been a week.
There’s a large and quite ugly hotel next to it. Funny that it never makes it into the photos and postcards. I’ll probably slum it and stay there.

And you made it back to civilisation!!??

The gold coast, the home of LNP shonkery and dirty political deals.
Glenn Lazarus alleges Clive Palmer offered ministerial positions in exchange for joining Liberal Party:
http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/glenn-lazarus-alleges-clive-palmer-offered-ministerial-positions-in-exchange-for-joining-liberal-party-20150417-1mnfvr.html
..The now independent senator claims Mr Palmer urged him and fellow PUP senator Dio Wang (WA) to join the Liberal Party and vote with the Coalition in the Senate, giving the government another two guaranteed votes. Two extra senators would not deliver the government a working majority in the Senate, but would improve its chances of success on a bill-by-bill basis
According to Senator Lazarus, Mr Palmer (founder of the party and a Queensland-based member of the House of Representatives) revealed the extraordinary proposal during a private meeting at his Gold Coast home on the morning of Friday, February 6 – just three days before Prime Minister Tony Abbott survived a leadership spill motion. The meeting was attended by Senators Wang and Lazarus, and Lazarus’s wife Tess, then the party’s parliamentary secretary in the Senate…
…However, the rookie senator admitted he “can’t remember” the names of the government ministers purportedly behind the deal.

…Tony Abbott’s hyper masculinity blueprint will not save us from danger. It is the danger, warns Lyn Bender.
LOOKING INCREASINGLY confused and anxious on our screens, Tony Abbott and his government cling to the cult of hyper masculinity with its inflated stereotypical macho mode…
Hyper masculinity has been identified as a disorder in the DSM IV. It venerates toughness, and domination, eschews compassion and scapegoats and mistreats the vulnerable.
We the Australian citizens are, metaphorically speaking, in the very unsexy, Abbott red room of pain, of dominance submission and fear. But this is not just a bad movie based on a pulp novel: This is Australia in 2015…

TEENAGERS! I thought 18 was an ADULT! Make yer fkn minds up!
The youngest SOLDIER at Gallipoli was 14!!!! FFS!
The only reason the adult age is 18 is because of the furore over 20 yo being called up to go to war in Vietnam who couldn’t vote nor even legally have a beer …

Could have happened to anyone, Retardland! What right to police have to pry into someone’s personal life like that? And why is it a crime anyway?
Something that you are interested in, tbagz … ?
Just contact tmelbourne@iinet.com.au
Thanks TB.
But the contact for friendly dance instruction and animal husbandry is -tomofmelbourne@gmail.com
It’s good that tomofmelbourne@gmail.com isn’t all that concerned about publishing his email address – tomofmelbourne@gmail.com online because that’s one of the sure ways to to attract a lot of spam emails.
Last time I could have made millions! I had no idea that I had so many dead rich relatives.
Apparently Tony Abbott drank a beer on the weekend and now the Left is outraged.
HEAVENS!!!!!
Remember when –
• I used to suggest that part of the problems with the IR landscape were problems with overlapping union coverage?? Which contributes to escalation of conflict?
• I said the big dispute at Qantas wasn’t simply about wages and conditions? It was more about union positioning and coverage?
• All those mindless ALP barrackers used to argue that I had no idea, and Qantas was just attacking unions?
Now the union at the centre of the dispute agree!! In their submission to the productivity commission the ALAEA says –
Still, most of those that were part of the crap have self banned. They’re welcome to pop in and concede they were wrong, I’m sure they still read this.
I’m so happy for you, ToM …
But a link would make me happy … context is everything … 🙂

What are you experimenting with now, Wally?
When the 20% tax no lurks no perqs comes in you won’t have enough income to feed the new habit … you may have have to sell your properties too get off it now before its too late!
(This friendly advice is donated free of charge by the Queensland Friendly Cynics Association – Brisbane Branch)
Well TB, here is the very interesting submission from the union that all those ALP barrackers were vociferously supporting!!
The union’s backing of laissaz faire economics is particularly entertaining and will no doubt be supported by all those ALP types that were barracking for the ALAEA in November 2011!!

“Apparently Tony Abbott drank a beer on the weekend and now the Left is outraged.”
Outrage is what they do best.
This is the main reason i am so anti-labor.
Lefties support a team. They have no principles. You can never work out what sends them into a frenzy until Abbot gets out of bed.
It does not matter what he does. if Abbott created a cure for cancer they would say he should have done it sooner.
No point in arguing with these people.
heads-up armchair, did you watch tonights #4corners, if not you will probably want to check it out later. lt was on Aust`s `commercialised-education` and how it is fcuking things up. With a 2-for-1 blow-back, education is being fcuked with uni prof`s being leveraged by `management` to `pass` under-performing `off-shore` students. This is hitting `nursing` pretty hard, having so-called `qualified` nurse-students that can`t read english, buying `class-assignments` online, resulting in wrong meds/things given to patients.
No point in arguing with these people.
So fuck off!

tbagz – I watched most of that … and it begs the question for competency based learning and assessment …
Another problem I’ve been discussing for years … education, training and development is not about making money its about helping people to learn and develop …
The Minister and I were successful because we provided good service to our clients … the dollars simply followed.
teebz””””””’education, training and development is not about making money its about helping people to learn and develop””””””””’
#yep, fully agree with that teebz, l thought our resident feminista would have been interested too, as #4corners was showing it was stuffing `aspects` of nursing too, a knock-on effect if you will. lt also makes me wonder if other industrie/s are being `white-anted` with these education shenanigans. l suspect there will be more to come.
””’good service to our clients .. the dollars simply followed””’
#yeah agree, being `over-looked` nowadays and replaced with weasel words and jargon l reckon.
Tom I’m so underwhelmed you have a gotcha.. congratulations
I cant wait for somebody to ask Pyne about 4 corners.
4 corners was bloody scary but not surprising. Some of the Asian students I have met out west can barely sting a sentence together.. My mind boggles as to how they pass?? The quicker Universities have plagiarism software that triggers a compulsory third party process the better..
Hope the ICAC go through those bastards like a dodgy prawn curry
TB I totally agree on both points
Competency based learning and NIL should just FUCK OFF(TOM SHOUTING CAPS)
Haahahahahahahha..
My partner was invited to a 3 course lunch at a 5 star venue today in Melbourne – drinks inclusive..!
What’s the catch he asked…
The guest speaker is Christopher Pyne…!
Naturally he declined.
Wouldn’t having pyne there knock at least a couple of stars off the venue to begin with, making 5 stars impossible with him there?
“The guest speaker is Christopher Pyne…!
Naturally he declined.”
Really? For a three course lunch including drinks I’d put myself through a speech from Joolia Gillard. But I’d be mighty drunk by the end of it.
TB continuing on with our `free-market-education` above,
#my abc news just reported, 830 students have had their `quals` canceled in victoria, due to dodgey free-market education out-fit. These 830 students now have to go and tell their employer/s that they no longer have their `quals` which they required for their job. So-much for the `unfettered` free-trade `team` huh, students wasting their time doing it `twice`, don`t look good for `productivity` neither.
Seeing as we’ve all got serious and there’s no Rostrum …
