I agree with other posters who see the article as fanciful? The Labour party are the authors of there own demise. They have been infiltrated by a conservative fiscal dry element, which has taken new Labour further to the right than Bob Menzies Liberals! Green policies appeal, but in most cases are the product of a party, which will likely never ever govern or become fully responsible for funding or economic outcomes?
What is wrong with genuine equality for those, who through a clear and unequivocal aberration of birth, rather than any element of choice, are born as Homosexuals. I prefer evidence based science rather than that of belligerent blinkered brainwashed bigots, with their ingrained but highly flawed belief systems, which they cling to like security blankets?
Only because, I believe, if they accepted the scientific studies that prove both Heterosexuality and Homosexuality is decided by nature and in the womb, they would no longer be able to justify their errant behaviour or quite blatant discrimination against the latter.
Some of which is gay bashing, which has morphed into less obvious forms, like a fear based refusal to provide adequate or equal medical assistance, some of which could have terminal consequences?
Fundamental bigotry and or religious based prejudice is still alive and kicking in a still incomprehensibly ignorant bush; albeit, progressively changing as evidence based medical science slowly trickles down?
The Labour party will simply have to accept more internal democracy, if it would halt and reverse the slide in the opinion polls or its future prospects; or, a bleeding of it former traditional support base to other parties or Independents. Moreover, it will need to divorce itself from the big end of town and return to the only support base, which will guarantee it actually has a future. Rhrosty.

Rhosty, for goodness sake, take another tablet.

You have touched upon every raw nerve topic that ever kept you awake at night, reading your posts is like drinking from a fire hose of an emotional thesaurus. Whoa there!

You weave together a veritable raft of ideological phrases without context, relevance or content. Do you really expect OLOer’s to digest this rot?

Let me explain in your own words.

It is clear that we have been “infiltrated by a conservative fiscal dry element” and that “Green policies” generate “appeal funding or economic outcomes” that manifest as an “unequivocal aberration of birth”. That some people “prefer evidence based science” as the protesting of “belligerent blinkered brainwashed bigots” rather than “ingrained but highly flawed belief systems”.

It is clear from your response that you support “Heterosexuality and Homosexuality” as “decided by nature and in the womb”, rather than “errant behavior” and anything less would be “quite blatant discrimination against the latter”.

According to your philosophy, “fundamental bigotry and or religious based prejudice” is the key to heaven yet it is “still incomprehensibly ignorant in the bush”. We also understand that, “The Labor party will simply have to accept more internal democracy” as opposed to some sort of imposed what? The externally imposed non-democratic impasse negotiated at the expense of the Australian electorates by the Greens and complicit Independents? Perhaps you are qualified for an injection rather than oral medication?

You really do need to speak openly and honestly with someone you can trust, preferably someone psychologically trained. You also need to throw away the Marxist/Leninist/Trotskyite/Socialist “poetry” from which you draw your diatribe and take firm grasp on reality.

If you are as emotionally ill as I suspect, I am so sorry, but don’t keep exposing your illness on OLO. We are not part of your therapy and cannot help you.

Rhrosty when the entire left combined in Queensland can't man/womam a net ball team, let alone a cricket team, what on earth makes you think that moving left would increase the Labor vote. Canberra will go the same way, if you continue to help.

With Labor & Greens taken over by an academic/elite lefty movement, only the few like Belly still hang on to any hope of their recovery to a balanced position of the party of old.

Now, after your last rant you will have lost anyone even leaning towards your arrogant position. I may be a belligerent bigot, & proud of it I might say, but it is from academia that come the brainwashed & blinkered.

But to show you how kind we bigots really are may I suggest some reading. A bloke by the name of Dale Carnegie wrote this book a while back. It's probably not too fashionable in your exalted circles, but from your last post, let me assure you it should be.

If anyone needs to know "How to Win Friends & Influence People" it is most definitely you, & the rest of your arrogant mates. The term educated ignoramuses comes to mind so often with posts on here, but mate, the prize is well & truly yours after that one.

Hasbeen, you are a terrible, terrible person, just like me. You persistently call it the way it is, you are a vile person for not seeing the ideological value in the socialization of anything related to numbers.

You should by now understand that two and two do in fact make 1.785. Why? Because if you divide two by the socio-economic responsibility of big business, then divide by the product of two multiplied by the “social responsibility” of the Banking sector, the answer will inevitably be a), an ALP/Union solution from Belly predicated on the interdependence of FWA and the government and 2) the sociological preferences of the ALP/Greens/Indies as represented by academia and the MSM.

So, Rhosty represents anything that is not related to reality, not related to the polling numbers, nothing related to even ALP commentary and definitely nothing related to recent state election results or the changed reality of Greens leadership. All of which have absolutely no bearing on political reality. How stupid are you?

Join the club and welcome.

Do the Greens really support 'rampant' homosexuality'?

In what context ?

'Flourishing or spreading unchecked'?

What do the other parties do to 'check' homosexuality or stop it from flourishing? What's the difference in policy?

or 'Violent or unrestrained in action or performance'

That's how I read it. Do the greens support homosexual people to be more violent and unrestrained in their lovemaking?

How does this affect someone who likes diving?

This all makes me laugh as much as the expression 'rubbing our faces in it'!

My goodness things are getting a bit out of hand.
It's only politics folks. Lighten up.
What ever happened to political debate on issues
that matter without personal insults? Those of us
who are torn between the dessert of mainstream media
and the jungle of the internet - need rational but
diverse views on matters of importance - though
it doesn't look like we'll find it here - judging
from the latest posts.

What a pity.
