Hay piper you forgot a couple of things. You want that bloke to have a couple of kids, & a big mortgage, makes them more compliant.

Sorry piper, you are talking garbage. Anyone who has a job to offer has a perfect right to offer that job to whoever they chose, for what ever reason they chose. Who are you, or anyone else to decide who I must employ, or rent a flat to.

When I was hiring a skipper for a tourist boat I had a number of criteria.

I wanted someone who could drive well, & not hit things like rocks or jetties. Of course they had to have the relevant skippers ticket, for the boat & area.

I wanted someone who could manage the crew, & the boat, keeping it sound, clean, & in good condition.

I wanted someone who could relate to their passengers, maximising their enjoyment by public address, & personal contact.

I needed someone who looked like a skipper to the tourist, which was quite a different person on an old pearling lugger sailing afternoon, or a resort trip. Neglect this requirement, & you soon lost customers.

Most of all I needed someone I could work with. This obviously is a value judgement, & anyone who thinks they can dictate that to me is kidding themselves.

This latter is critically important in small business. I often chose less experienced, & sometimes less qualified people, because I knew the person.

Some of these had started with me as a deck hand, aquired the necessary tickets, & earned the job. Others I had observed working elsewhere, & liked their attitude.

The moment someone else had the right to tell me who I could, couldn't or must hire, I would stop hiring, & close the shop. I presume business owners still have that right

Obviously not a job advert for ABC TV...

Here’s an example of what is happening now;

Wesely Delmar will not recruit same sex couples as foster parents.
State gives them children to place with foster parents they will recruit and pays them all costs for that child.

This is not saving whales runner and it isn’t promoting porn. It is the govt giving money to organisations who openly discriminate. I’m unsure what kind of affect that would have on say a hindu lesbian mother whose child is placed in short term care with such an org.

Does the Christian community like this you reckon? Now imagine a Muslim foster care agency taking your little Christian children and refusing to recruit Christian carers.

What I want is state contracts not go to any service that discriminates Hasbeen. I am all for any business or org or church hiring based on what their faith dictates just not with public monies.

I’m sure the same is happing in LA today Lexi… but I’d rather have a law just the same.

Somebody mentioned Penny Wong. Really she shouldn't be employed by anyone after her political career closes. Personally I thing lesbians have their place....in the police force, the army or driving heavy machinery but certainly not in everyone's face.
Their activities are not natural and that's a fact however if the mind their own business I am sure there is a place for them....Ask Bob Brown or Don Dunstan.

Perhaps you worked there; Never such a true word said in jest !

Pied Piper, your comments are to the point.
If you were a public servant in Docs and had an application from a
pair of homosexuals to adopt a young boy, would you feel at ease about that ?

Perhaps in 20 years time you might get a writ from that boy's solicitor
for damages !
Not beyond the bounds of possibility, or perhaps even likely.

Should the law protect that public servant or should it prosecute him ?
