John Howard would have grabbed the ball and run with it - and Kim Beazley would have been wrong-footed.

'As for the other sinners, has he missed any one of us? At the end of life, we will be judged on our actions and words and all that flowed from them as consequential!'

or we will receive forgiveness from the One who died and rose again. We can repent as Israel so lovingly put it or will can be judged and no man will be found righteous.

The secular bigots continue to claim the bible is a fairytale and yet are so offended by the 'fairytale'. And of course the Koran says of homosexuality? Of course we will encourage muslims and everyone else to play rugby as it is all inclusive except for those quoting and believing the bible. Christophobes have always been the biggest bigots.

Since 2012, Qantas and Emirates airline have been in partnership. At the time, Mr Joyce gushed, “Emirates is the ideal partner for Qantas”. In 2017, he boasted “The first five years of the Qantas-Emirates alliance has been a great success”.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights are heavily suppressed in the United Arab Emirates. The UAE Penal Code is ambiguous as to whether homosexuality is punishable by death.
Such hypocrisy bedevils any attept at rational debate on free speech

I understand why gay people are so sensitive to criticism. We have all heard awful things said about them. I just think we take social media far too seriously. Like runner, I have known some footballers who were able to get away with doing some awful things, without anything like this punishment.

Politicians, in particular, are far too worried about social media. Remember all the talk about the number of people following Krudd on twitter? Scomo needed to condemn homophobia, but could have reminded us that this was only twitter, it isn't to be taken seriously
