Biblical quote!

*...And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death...*

Poignant....

Every time one group is shut up, another group gets a free gift; they are relieved of a burden so they will never reject the offer. It's equivalent to handing out cash. And of course the converse is true as well; "I have this burden. Please relieve it with cash." Seen as just another handout, the granting of new 'rights' has to be on the most slippery of slopes. We are in very dangerous territory.

Every time some idiot politician decides to insert "safeguards" into legislation, we lose. That is a matter of the simplest logic.

As Thomas Jefferson said: "Our freedom depends upon the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost."

Same principle applies to freedom of speech.

Make no mistake, silencing millions of people is in no way a good thing, it's a precedent for something very, very bad.

Yeah, I guess this sort of thing shows how the plebiscite won't really change anything for non-traditional families, its more a question on whether or not christians have a future in Australia, or if they will be expelled from public life forever, as experiences in similar countries suggest.

Safeguards for free speech have been removed in Ireland now that a mere 37% of the population have voted for or against this disgusting business. In Australia, we don't have any guarantees of freedom of speech in the first place! The only people enjoying free speech in this country are Marxists and perverts, who can say what they like about the rest of us and get away with it.

And yes, pro-SSM Nazi, George Brandis decides what can be said about whom! Australian's right to free speech is almost non-existent, now, thanks to the extreme Leftism of Labor, the Coalition and the Greens. There is nobody standing up for goodness and wholesomeness any more. The author is right about the lack of backbone and cowardice in this country.

to say that sodomy is not a choice is as dumb as saying paedophile is not a choice. Biology, science and commonsense totally trashed by the Marxist and people wanting to justify their own corruption play along with the nonsense.
