ABC 3 attempts politics on kids
My complaint to the ABC:
During a promo (or perhaps a program intro) on ABC Friday (13 Feb 2015) evening, the talking head talked about the 'Stolen Generation' with the inference that children were removed from their families in large numbers and without cause in the words similar to "how would you like to be taken from your family...". With children in the room I turned the program off due to its tendentious and misleading nature.
Please clarify in future that some aboriginal children were 'given up' by parents, others were removed for their own safety due to the aboriginal cultural habits of abuse and neglect of children, and others (mixed parentage) were rejected by their family or tribe.
You might also point out that there was no policy to eliminate aborigines or to 'steal' them. For such children it was necessary and compassionate to provide them with alternative care within the mores of the period in question.
It was entirely misleading to not cast the narrative in these terms and blends for young children fiction and reality in an unfortunate manner.

I've got a RIGHT to be married!
Senator David Leyonhjelm
Parliament House
Canberra ACT
Dear Senator,
I was very pleased to hear the news of your private member's bill regarding the extension of marriage to people of the same sex. It will certainly benefit the children produced by these couples who will now be able to refer to 'daddy' and 'daddy' or 'mummy' and 'mummy', instead of the awkward lack of terms there is for adults who don't produce offspring.
But you need to go further.
The right to marriage needs to be extended to single people too. The status that married people have in our society marginalises those of us who are single. Even government forms want to know if a person is married or not, as if it is any of their business!
So, single people should be able to marry themselves and call and regard themselves as properly married. Society should also recognise that the marriage has been consumated if a legitimate sex-like act has been performed by oneself in front of a mirror.
I really hate the way married people flaunt their coupleness in the face of those of us who are couple-free and your bill could change it all.
I'd also like you to undo a few other selective applications of government created benefits.
While I live in Surry Hills, I'd like to be able to declare my window garden to be an agricultural enterprise so I could get the diesel fuel rebate. Its unfair that this goes only to farmers by some quirk of nature have lots of land. Or if this wouldn't work in the senate, as I dig in my window garden, I would alternatively like to be able to declare it to be a mine, and so obtain the generous taxation arrangements that are extended to miners. After all, its just an accident of circumstances that it is not a mine and I am not a miner.
Power on!

Gay?
So Ian Thorpe has come out as liking sodomy. (an article on the Australian Daily Telegraph website today)
As if this is of any interest to anyone, apart, of course, from others who also like to use their waste apparatus for other than waste functions...oh, and anyone who sends their sons to swimming meets that he attends (luckily he could safely coach girls).
(Man its been a busy few days watching the mindless politically correct).

NSW Judge: incest will become OK
Which ever perversion a society starts with; the end will be the same. All perversions will become OK
From rt.com
An Australian judge has incurred the wrath of child protection and gay rights advocates after stating that incest and pedophilia may no longer be considered taboo – just as gay relationships are now more accepted than they were in the 1950s and 60s.
District Court Judge Garry Neilson was recorded as saying that sexual contact between adults and children or siblings may no longer be regarded by society as “unnatural” or “taboo.”
And, of course, he's right! If what's right is set by what the noisy minority set, than the lid is off the box, and 'society', at least the noisy ones from Glebe and Annandale, will introduce whatever they like into the 'its OK' category.

Hamas...yay? Really?
I see that the Hamas cheer squad has had another outing (I don't even need to give a link for this, their 'I'm a victim' chant is as ubiquitous as it is meaningless).
I’ll believe they have a case when Hamas ceases random violence against civilians, abides by peace deals, participates in a peace process and behaves as though it is part of a civil international community.
Of course, it will do none of these things, and will continue with its cynical conduct with no intention to either pursue peace or accept a two state arrangement.
Hamas wants one state: its own, and until the international community recognizes that Hamas has no interest in peace, but just manipulates, lies and makes its own civilians military targets as part of its Islamic mission to destroy Israel, Israel has no choice but to make Hamas’ aggression too costly for it to continue.
France sees this as well.

Not here! We're 'multi-cultural', see?
A Ukranian church was graffitied in Sydney today.
A government minister told us that 'we are multi-cultural' and the action was 'un-Australian'.
Well, of course it was un-Australian, it was one of the multi-cultures that did it; the one that approves of scrawling grafitti on churches.
That's what multi-culturalism is about; do it the way your culture of choice does it...and then 'un-Australian' or not is beside the point, because, well, you're just not using that culture right now.
Ah yes, be multi-cultural and sink the boat you are rowing.
