Garry, thanks for your expose of the real politics of TA. I would expect similar reports to yours, whenever he holds meetings with environmentalists, refugees, indiginous Australians and those wanting the right to die with dignity.

Abbott's mental filter seems to be political advantage first and foremost, followed closely by his neo-liberal values of industry self regulation, small government and pushing the conservative Christian agenda. He's close in rhetoric, to Sarah Palin. As an opposition shadow Minister he gave an impressive speech in Parkes in 2009 about bringing in much needed reform to fix our broken federal system, supporting abolition of the states.

But as Opposition Leader he has provided no better vision than extending the tired, partisan policies of his hero John Howard. His pitch is clearly not winning hearts and minds. Abbott will be wiped out as leader in 2013 polls.

The DSMs are determined by the American Psychiatric Association, not the Psychological one.

Claiming intimidation is the reason homosexuality is no longer listed in the recent versions of the DSM is a false claim, AGiR, and a violation of the 9th commandment.

Al nee Boaz David and Diva Dan, did you read the URL posted by Shintaro, which is in the world media? As its because of unchristian comments
(that are also common to both of you) that this innocent man was brutally and violently murdered.

Your beloved Narth "organisation" is simply a bunch of gay men pretending to be heterosexual. For instance one of Narths top advisors George Alan Rekers hired an openly gay male prostitute from rentboy.com to accompany him on a ten-day European vacation. Rekers explained that the companion had been brought on the vacation so that he could carry Reker's baggage. And yet Mr Rekers claims that being gay is a "psychological disorder" and a sin. George Alan Rekers is the perfect example of the self-hating gays who believe in Narth.

I have a personal objection to formalized filth: Especially when such is ably assisted in the overriding of public opinion by politicians.

Australians display, where possible, traditional methods when attending to overt displays of public sexuality in all its forms; each method with a unique format, attendant to the particular circumstances; all exhibitionists should make themselves aware of this, for their own safety.
