Homophobe? The etymology suggests “fear of the same”. Ergo, they like change. So homophobes were largely responsible for the election of Lord Hopeychange Himself, the Teleprompter Kid, B. Hussein Obamessiah.

Thanks Bill

Of course all your comment does is reinforce the truth that the militant homosexual lobby is not the least interested in tolerance and diversity, as it so much rabbits on about. It is instead interested in coercion and conformity. Anyone who dares to disagree with their ideology and agenda will quickly be dealt with. Simply label as “homophobic” anyone who differs from the party line, and then make sure they are banished altogether. So typical of the homosexual lobby.

Our government's true colours have again been shown today:

Foreign aid will be able to be spent on abortion services and counselling after the Rudd Government today lifted a ban established 13 years ago by the Howard government.

Thanks Mr Rudd. Very Christian of you. Ewan McDonald.

I was the person who tipped off Crikey and the mainstream and gay press about the woeful choice of two strident homophobes as men’s ambassadors. That, of course, quickly led to Nicola Roxon belatedly doing the right thing, at least in part. And my colleagues in men’s health rejoiced, because it had seemed that Labor was going to follow the previous government’s harmful, heterosexist tradition. Matthew Mitcham is a fine young man who has amply demonstrated the qualities of strength, determination and excellence. He is an inspiration not only to gay men and lesbians but indeed to anyone who is interested in the resilience of the human spirit. The cause of men’s health can only be bettered by his appointment.

I’ve been waiting for the attack, Bill, so I can respond but they have been silent! Could that be because they have been unable to find any significant flaws in the ’21 Reasons’ booklet – just a few minor end note typos?
This is despite my placing a comment on one of their web sites calling for them to give justification of their claims it is flawed? Perhaps we should start a letter campaign going and get a bunch of people asking Miss Roxon and her department to tell us of the homophobic flaws they found in the booklet that warranted Warwick’s dismissal.

John McMahon’s comments are spot on. I have always been amazed by the loyalty of Labor voters who consistently vote for a Party that treats them with utter contempt in the safe seats. Labor understands this loyalty and exploits it to the maximum. Labor has also been very successful at harvesting the migrant vote, particularly the Southern European’s, who are essentially Christian with a strong sense of the traditional family.

Frank Bellet,

You say that when you mentioned your opinions that you were greeted with blank looks. I wonder then when you mentioned your opinions in e-mails were you greeted in return with blank replies?

In my experience most people respond with “I don’t care” yet they then go out and mindlessly cast a vote for the Party they and their parents and their grandparents have supported all their lives.

Having spent some years in Australia, first as a ten pound pommie and then years later as an exchange teacher and since it is where God found me; I naturally have a special love of the Australian people. May I alert you therefore to what is in store for you?

In 2006 the UK Labour government brought in the Sexual Orientation Regulations; a year later this was followed by the Gay Adoption Bill and then last year they brought in the Incitement to Homophobic Hatred Bill. This last bill would have carried more destructive power if it had not been for a Lord Waddingon who successfully got an free speech amendment to the bill that said:

“In this Part, for the avoidance of doubt, the discussion or criticism of sexual conduct or practices or the urging of persons to refrain from or modify such conduct or practices shall not be taken of itself to be threatening or intended to stir up hatred.”

For those interested in looking in Hansard this now forms section 29JA in the Public Order Act 1986. That clause is going to be overturned this year, barring a miracle wrought through prayer. This will mean that anyone not wholeheartedly supporting the gays could be deemed as inciting hatred and could face up to seven years in prison.

The zeal with which the government is attempting to overturn Lord Waddington’s free speech amendment is hardly surprising when we view Gordon Brown’s cabinet, particularly represented by Maria Eagle, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for justice, her twin sister, the lesbian, Secretary to the Treasury, Angela Eagle, and homosexuals within the labour party, like Chris Bryant, the Deputy Leader of the House of Commons – not to mention the ex secretary of State for Trade and Industry (original department responsible for the SORs) and ex European commissioner for Trade, Peter Mandelson and Lord Chris Smith who was the MP for Finsubury and Islington when the following was happening on his watch:

Lord Chris Smith is now the head of the Advertising Standards Agency and is still in the business of censorship: www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-9745.html

Though I believe Spencer Livermore has gone to fresh pastures, this un elected homosexual was at the hear of government: www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-6417.html

I recall prior to the previous election when Howard was elected that Rudd made a comment that when he goes into the party rooms, he takes his Christian hat off and puts his Labor hat on. If ever there was a cause for alarm as to his Christian credentials, that was it. Sadly, too many Christians didn’t see the significance!

Bill, whilst I appreciate the main thrust of your article, may I ask for some caution re the “anti-religious” bit about education spending (in one of your replies).

I would read it as a reasonable limitation, in the same way that I would see a budget for day-school curriculum materials restricted to non-Sunday School items. It is a matter of spending for a defined primary purpose.

However, if that same restrictive clause appeared with all spending parameters in all areas, I would infer more strongly what we suspect in this case.

I am disappointed in Ms Gillard’s comments further down in the linked article, however. Statements such as:

“Modern airconditioning units are capital intensive and involve minimal labour, meaning they would not stimulate jobs like other projects can.”

are just silly politician-speak.
