Lyle Shelton, if you can turn your mind away from your omniscient invisible sky wizard who has no compunctions about giving kids cancer, even if it's just five minutes, can you please explain what you're on about with your assertion that same sex families will lead to another stolen generation of children? Seriously, man, are you on crack?
Same to you, Tony Abbott. Shit, your own sister wants to marry her same sex partner. Do you really think the Earth is going to spin off its axis and disintegrate if two people of the same gender marry? Other countries allow same sex marriage, and so far the Earth is still intact. We're all still, courtesy of gravity, walking around on this big hunk of rock floating in orbit in it's special place - third in line from the sun. Does it really matter if people of the same gender marry, when you think about it? It's not going to affect your life. If it does, then YOU'RE the one with the problem. Maybe you're too lousy to want to buy her a wedding gift. Perhaps you're strapped for cash, after all, your daughter needed a $60,000 scholarship. Or have you just not forgiven her for the time when you were kids and she dobbed on you for putting frozen peas in your father's gumboots?
And as for you, Prime Minister Turdball: a $122 million dollar postal vote? God almighty, are you also fried? Is the result, which we know is likely to result in a majority in favour of same sex marriage, legally binding? I'm under the impression it is not, and my giddy aunt what a colossal waste of money. The majority of the country is in favour of same sex marriage. The majority of the country is aware nothing dreadful will happen when people of the same sex marry. The majority of the country support the rights of consenting adults to marry the person they love. Back in 2004 Johnny Howard particularly had the Marriage Act altered to define marriage as being between a man and woman. Nice one, Howie, you snivelling, pandering-to-the-religious-lobby milquetoast. But importantly, when Howard set the wheels in motion to have this particular piece of legislation worded thus, there was none of this plebiscite or postal vote nonsense. Surely it would stand to reason there is no need to carry out these nonsensical proceedings now, either. I'm guessing you're afraid of the Liberal Party losing the financial support of religious donors.
There must be better things upon which to spend this $122 million. How about these for starters:
Housing and sheltering the homeless
Alleviating poverty
Domestic violence shelters
Legal aid funding
Mental health
Hospitals
Education
Teachers
Nurses
I suppose being unlikely to require any of these services, at least not publicly funded ones, you don't care too much, Turdball, what with your nest egg in the Cayman Islands. Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't care that you have money in the Caymans. Good luck to you. Wouldn't mind being in that position myself. But for the love of the nation you purport to be leading, grow a pair, will you? Stop pandering to the factions that are hiding behind religion, particularly when they are not being very Christian in their outlook, and stop backing these bullshit exercises such as the postal vote.
Time for a segue - I deal with this issue in my third novel, 'Silver Studs and Sabre Teeth'. Click on this link to read the first chapter. Then, if you're of a mind, click on the links that will have you purchasing the novel! Sorry for what appears to be tasteless self-promotion, but my name's not JK Rowling.
