Labor was in power for 6 years and was approached many times to consider gay marriage, and steadfastly refused to do so. The liberals got it over the line following a blocking motion by labor and greens over the Plebiscite in spite of both labor and the greens steadfastly proposing a referendum previously.

It is sheer hypocrisy for either the greens or labor to try and claim moral superiority over this issue that they bungled whilst in power.

Tony Abbott would win the top prize.
Foxy,
I agree, i's like all the academics in the ALP telling us they're only there for the workers.

Individual,

Or like the Libs telling us they are not for the big end
of town. Do they have any academics in their ranks?

Foxy,
Grasping at straws time again ?

Or like Juliar's iron-clad promise that there would be no carbon tax under the government she led?

Agree with most of that Foxy and can only wonder at the forbearance with which you deal with the inordinately immature drivel that is invariably slung in the direction of anything remotely resembling fair-minded comment.

You write with both compassion and empathy and to the point where all the adults in the room, having to agree with most of what you write. It would seem there are lots of disgruntled folks pursuing you through these pages if only to find out, why you are so "gruntled"?
LOL Alan B.
