A Tasmanian Liberal conscience vote on transgender law reform will diffuse potential hate campaigns : Comments

By Rodney Croome, published 14/3/2019

A particularly nasty aspect of these rallies was how Liberal MPs sat in the front row applauding anti-gay speakers because the plan to decriminalise had been proposed by Labor and the Greens.

'Trump got elected because of a faulty electoral
system that badly needs fixing in the US. '

Oh Foxy given up on the Russian collusion. You regressives are pathetic.

runner,

I've lived and worked in the United States for close to ten
years. I am familiar with their electoral system having
lived through various elections. It seems to me that
you take any opinion expressed about Mr Trump as a
personal attack and you then make any comment personal
by resorting with more attacks. Russian collusion?
That is still pending and under investigation. As for
my being a "regressive?" What on earth do you mean by
that? Compared to what? Your own political stance and
agenda?

The Liberal candidate gained more primary votes than the elected member for Wentworth. But our faulty system of prefential voting saw a less popular candidate take the seat.

Having read Rodney Croome I was entirely in agreement with him. His argument is about human rights, and no matter how small the minority they have rights too. Reforming this area is entirely consistent with liberal values. It is a reform long overdue. As a liberal party member I wish him every success.

"Trump got elected because of a faulty electoral system that badly needs fixing in the US. "

The system produced a result Foxy doesn't like...therefore...the system must be changed.

Over on the Pell page..."He's gone through our legal process and has been found guilty."

The system produced a result Foxy does like....therefore...we all need to just accept it.

Is it just me or is there a whiff of double standard there.
