Paul,

I was in the Sallies in Armidale last week and a tall bloke that I was talking to had just bought two new pairs of R M Williams moleskin pants for a few dollars.
The pants were brand new but faded a bit on one side, we surmised that they'd been in a window display and not turned often enough.
Lots of clothing that is donated, with the tags still on, comes directly from shop owners.

"And it was because of this loitering, that encouraged many of these attacks. In those days there existed an offence known as 'loitering with intent' (might now be repealed). Occasionally the Truck (uniform police) might cruise by and move them on, but after the truck left, they'd reappear. "
So the police didn't enforce that but you say the technical offence "encouraged" attacks by civilians. Dark skin encourages attacks by whites ? Your comment is consistent with the news quotes posted about homo murders.

o sung wu,

Perhaps it was inferred by what you said, but the it wasn't the loitering per se of gays around public toilets that was problematic for authorities and caused so much public protest, it was the lewd behaviour and propositioning of the public using the conveniences, especially juveniles and the offensive sexual behaviour within. Top that off with the conveniences being littered with smeared faeces, toilet paper and the disgusting graffiti, vandalised.

History is constantly being re-written by activists and by a compliant media that seeks populism as a hedge against its own demise because of technology. However if one returns to the newspapers of the day, the paper records, one could be easily convinced that the most common source of abuse and harm to those homosexual men who hung around public toilets was the men themselves. Contrary to their buffed up image of love, rainbows and unicorns, gays do have a high incidence of substance abuse and bullying and violence among themselves.

One supposes that the gays have taken their behaviour to the gay bars they frequent and call their own. Where they themselves discourage 'straights' from using, lest the gay ambiance - take that as their indecent, lewd behaviour in public - might be complained about by other patrons and restricted.

The demand for SSM was based on claims that such self-harming behaviours, examples being substance abuse, risky sex involving random hook-ups (and bare-backing for thrills) and so on would cease. Now that SSM is about to be passed by the federal parliament there is no excuse, so gays need to move on and be held responsible for their own behaviour.

Skin colour has been mentioned here. It is a false analogy, as most analogies are and a diversion.

Dark skin encourages attacks like homos encourage attacks? Money encourages attacks.

" Victorian police chief Simon Overland has advised Indian students in Australia to keep a low profile and "try to look as poor as you can" to avoid attacks, . "Don't display your iPods, don't display your valuable watch, don't display your valuable jewellery. Try to look as poor as you can," Overland was quoted as saying by 'The Age'. Victorian Premier John Brumby defended his top cop, .

Rabbit poachers got 7 years transportation to New South Wales and encouraged game-keepers to shoot them to protect rabbits' heterosexual breeding.

Yes, I guess that the Indian government was playing hard ball political games over alleged racism that was proved to be an opportunist mugging in a park. The youthful offender's name was not disclosed but he is serving some serious time for it.

The story there is the disingenuous Indian government lying by omission to blackmail the Australian government into concessions. No 'racism' only greed. But a report though proved untrue, still lives in the mind of many. Heuristic flaws of humans that politicians and propagandists ruthlessly take advantage of.

NICK...You're trying way too hard to pin down precisely the point that you're trying to infer. Life my friend is neither black nor white, it's far more complicated then that.

Simply put, these gays were acting in ways that can only be described as prurient and salacious, and in so doing were loitering outside these public toilets. By preventing others, by dint of their numbers and this persistent loitering, from making use of those facilities. Thus setting themselves up for a decent flogging from some of the less forgiving gangs that roamed these parks at night, specially seeking out these groups of 'queers and poofters'. Leaving the poor ol' coppers to again act as the referee's.

You should also know, most police of that era, had very little truck for these people, mainly because it kept them from properly managing their own patrol districts. Moreover most police were pretty disgusted with the aberrant and deviant activities of these 'queers' particularly committing an act of sodomy in a public toilet where others might be confronted.

And in conclusion - As a copper I'm sworn to protect the safety and well being of everyone, including homosexuals. I've no entitlement to make any distinctions whatsoever. However personally, I absolutely abhor the act of sodomy, I find the practice utterly disgusting. However, our very wise and erudite lawmakers, have seen fit to disagree, and have repealed the offence. Lookout some species of animal - for you're next on the list of creatures to be prayed upon? If you reckon I'm joking NICK, just research some of those precious Newspapers of yours?
