Christian Lobby Fury over Gay Playschool Plot
The ABC’s Play School can no longer be trusted not to push political agendas with its plans to feature gay dads on the show, the Australian Christian Lobby says.
The group says parents should not be forced into explaining to kids how two men come to have a baby.
“Unsupervised watching of Play School was always considered safe by generations of parents. Now parents can’t be sure if their children are going to be exposed to contested social and political agendas,” ACL managing director Lyle Shelton said in a statement on Friday.
A two-dad family has been cast for the program’s popular Through the Windows segment, which will also include an adopted family, an extended family, a blended family and an indigenous family.
Mr Shelton accused the public broadcaster of imposing “rainbow politics” on toddlers when millions of their parents did not agree with same-sex marriage.
“The ABC should not assume that producing children through harvested eggs and a rented or donated woman’s womb to meet the desires of two men is a public good.”
Mr Shelton called on Communications Minister Mitch Fifield to intervene.

But its OK to foist religion on kids with no evidence of truth or fact … duh!
More millions of parent do agree with same sex marriage …
Suck it up Princess!
But its OK to foist religion on kids with no evidence of truth or fact … duh!
Yeah, rainbow politics is parental abuse, but nothing said about the child abuse from religious indoctrination from birth.
OK to foist religion on everyone through taxes, school system [and private schools get more public funding than public schools] and the demands made of politicians to enact laws in their favour.
It’s organised religion that creates the hatred and bigotry in society, they want to force [by law and policy] that everyone live according to their chosen, personal piety of and we also don’t need pre schoolers to be tainted by adult prejudices and concepts beyond their understanding.

Not to mention terrorising little kids into adhering to their ideology with the threat that “if you don’t believe in jesus you’ll rot in hell. FOREVER!”

Yeah, tha had quite an impact on me too … but not in the way they expected!
Is Steven Joyce related to a certain Barnaby?
but not in the way they expected!
It always seemed a bit extreme to me too. After all, eternity might be a while.
or it might not 😉
…After word of the Newsgirls’ plans spread, Roosh decided to cancel the meet-ups, writing that he can “no longer guarantee the safety or privacy of the men who want to attend.”
Imagine feeling unsafe in a public space, or afraid to have your privacy violated. As a woman, I have no idea what that must be like…
That’s brilliant AO!
LOL! Go get ’em! That’s the way to do it!
Impressive, KL!
The group says parents should not be forced into explaining to kids how two observers come to have a rainbow.
This what Labor supporters expect!

This what Labor supporters expect!
The Premiers are just playing politics. Why didn’t they make this offer when the detention centers were bursting at the seams? There are only 80 kids locked up now. Way done on the number under Labor.
And i was wrong when i said Labor locked up 2,000 kids. It was actually 8,000. Such hypocrisy from Labor who condemned Howard for locking up a much smaller number. 2,000 kids was the highest number of kids locked up at any one time. But there were actually 8,000 locked up in total by Labor.

Considering we are actively talking about tax havens, and considering malcayman is actively protecting them from being “on the table”, then yes, it is a clear conflict of interest.
Which brings us to another thing. Since Shorten has successfully killed off the GST (perhaps. maybe, waffle waffle), just what IS on the table?
Since Shorten has successfully killed off the GST”
Really!! I had no idea he was still in politics, I haven’t heard anything from him for ages.
I haven’t heard anything from him for ages.
I’m not surprised 😉

Ah, so, he’s not an AGW denying troglodyte, he’s just clueless.
Mr Turnbull and his staff “didn’t see it coming”, a senior CSIRO researcher has been told. The PM “blanched” when given a copy of the news of the cuts, and asked his staff to investigate, another source tells Fairfax Media.

Our msm are incompetent sometimes
First, he claims Labor is jumping at shadows, cos of course, htere is no GST, then, the GST has been killed off (but not because of anything Labor has done of course, purely ……. well because). He’s sticking to the medias line, no matter how stupid it makes him look
GST is not OFF the table, TR … Milkum TurnAbbout said he had not YET been convinced they should raise the GST … the usual weasel words!
Thinking about Milkum’s “conflict of interest”, two things spring to mind … as a “major” (whatever that means) investor in 7/11 shouldn’t he stand down until the wage stealing* issue is sorted out …
And with all these conflicts of interest … just what should he do with all his booty … I know … invest it in Australian infrastructure!
* It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious … but consider the different rules for business and employees …
… if employees had stolen the thousands of dollar owed by 7/11 (and other companies in the past – no doubt the present and the in future) they would go to jail and have a criminal record the rest of their lives …
To my knowledge no-one has been charged with theft or for that matter investigated under IR legislation …
By now its should be obvious to even the thickest Liberal leaner that businesses are not the angels they are purported to be … and unions are the result of poor management … the Liberals not only wanted to tip the pendulum to the far to the right (business) … but break the bloody thing off altogether!
GST is not OFF the table, TR
Man these “debates” are confusing.
So, I guess, we’ll “debate” all the way until AFTER the election if we are in fact debating a GST or not.
And nothing else in the meantime, because, debating about what we are actually debating is technique a debate 😉
Q): What’s the difference between a malcayman lie and yabot lie
A): About 250 words
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/feb/08/queensland-mining-industry-asks-for-taxpayer-support-to-keep-coal-jobs
The government might have been able to help if the mining companies had paid the right tax!
The problem with the free marketeers is that they want to rape the place for high profits in the good times and then expect a hand out from the people in the bad … greedy Uber Kapitalism works well until there is no buyers!
The coal industry is rooted, its dead, its gone to its maker in the sky, its stapled to its perch, it is no longer viable, its the digital age! Build more solar and wind farms, tap into geothermal energy, harvest wave power … and guess where you’ll find that expertise?
Did you guess? Yep the fkn mines! Very capable civil engineers, heavy equipment operators, admin, surveyors, managers, and ancillary support (stores, maintenance, accommodation) …
Where’s all the investment on infrastructure?
Bite the bullet … go renewable!
There is now a solar panel for every Australian! 1.9 million households!
Make Australia the envy of the world with unlimited energy to actually DO stuff cheaply …
Its not rocket science!
About 250 words Is that all? 🙂 Seemed like 2500! 😀
The government might have been able to help if the mining companies had paid the right tax
The govt would have an extra $15-$20B if you didn’t vote to abolish the Pacific Solution in 2007.
The coal industry is rooted
Not good for Australia if that is true. It is our second biggest export.

Ageism comes in many forms I see … Dietrich was from my parents era … and what an awful singer she was … 🙂
I don’t know whether politicians are thick, slow, dumb, incompetent, deceitful, liars, illiterate, arrogant or all of the above!
For Milkum TurnAbbout I’ve highlighted the appropriate phrase that makes the decision simple for a kindergarten kid … Robert, breached the code of practice … if he thin ks he has done nothing wrong now – he’ll do it again … he’s another glass jawed Brough!
Looks like they’ve learnt nothing from 2014. Bring it on
The West Australian has learnt that planning for the ambitious but politically risky outsourcing of government payments is well-advanced, with a view to making it a key feature of Treasurer Scott Morrison’s first Budget in May.

“I don’t know whether politicians are thick, slow, dumb, incompetent, deceitful, liars, illiterate, arrogant or all of the above!”
Inept perhaps?
Does private enterprise even exist anymore?
It’s time to get it off the public teat, then we might be able to afford healthcare, education and some scientists to keep the country moving.
I’m pretty sure “What Tony Fears” could fill a new book!
News for tony, the libs and especially his ‘base’ are the far right, loony fringe he fears.
When is malcolm going to reign in the freelancing, direct threats and sniping through daily telegraph leaks?
Why does he fear the rise of the extreme right? Let them have a go I say, let us see [and reject] the ugliness within.
…Former prime minister Tony Abbott has warned the Liberal Party not to change its stance on asylum seekers or Islamic State for fear of losing ground to far-right parties.
Mr Abbott told News Corp that centre-right parties, like the Liberals, risk losing votes to such fringe parties if it ‘softened’ on these issues.
“Since the change in leadership our base have been on heightened alert for signs of softening in our stance on boat arrivals or the need to defeat the global Islamic insurgency,” he said, according to The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday…
Queensland mining industry asks for taxpayer support to keep coal jobs
Where “support” = “subsidy” (of which they already receive much)
From your tweet, KL … (did you see my comment @ TB Queensland, February 8, 2016 11:41 am?)
The $1.8 billion which AGL just fracked away, may seem a large figure yet it is nothing compared with the real cost of Australia’s myopic energy policy, if you could call it an energy policy at all (it blithely ignores the revolution of renewable energy).
sb, inept is a good choice … doesn’t negate my other suggestions tho’ it does add a nice overall title …
Abbott fears voters may forsake Libs for far-right parties:
Looks like the Onion has hacked the New Daily ao?
Hacked? Can he use a computer?
Can he use a computer?
I see what you did there 😉
“Where “support” = “subsidy” (of which they already receive much)”
Thang Dog the renewable industry gets by sans taxpayer subsidies
“”Mr Abbott told News Corp that centre-right parties, like the Liberals””
“centre-right??”
That’s gold!
Frightening!
Govt eyes massive Medicare, health privatisation:

Didn’t this mob learn from the recent Registered Training Organisation fiasco?
And power and water …
Why not privatise the air force and the navy and the army …
WTF don’t we just privatise the government FFS … they don’t do anything, they’re not productive in any way – in fact they’re actually destructive!
These pricks couldn’t run a business … they can’t even run a fkn country!
Thang Dog the renewable industry gets by sans taxpayer subsidies
Not forever … and the coal industry is rooted, fkd, dead, nailed to the perch … when other businesses run out of clients they aren’t given a handout … are they???
Thang Dog the renewable industry gets by sans taxpayer subsidies
I’ve personally got nothing against (well targeted) subsidies.
I’ve got a lot against one sector that has sucked off the grubmints teat since day dot complaining about other sectors receiving it

There was not a single Labor MP who spoke out against the deporting of 267 asylum seekers in federal caucus meeting today
As hard as that is to hear, it doesn’t surprise me one bit.
Even Doug Cameron has gone to the dark side on this issue 😦
re estimates ao
An HOUR! No wonder he got the arse! 😉
Having read Nick Ross’ “forensic piece” …
No wonder he got the arse! 😉
In all honesty that Nick Ross article is exactly what we have been saying right up to now experiencing it!
If you can’t trust Milkum to succeed in building the most innovative infrastructure Australia ahs ever seen … why would you trust him with the whole fkn country!
As hard as that is to hear, it doesn’t surprise me one bit.
