Dear Toni Lavis,

It is no crime to claim asylum. If the claim for asylum is denied they still have committed no crime. 'Illegal alien' implied they have committed a crime. Deportation is not a legal punishment but an action denying a claim. If a person brings a law suit and loses it they have done nothing illegal. They have made a claim, and it has been denied.

I would estimate there are more men in Australia sleeping with more than one woman on any given week. The next push will be to legalise polygamy, as we have over 500,000 Muslims in Australia who would support it.

The age of consent would be lowered to pubity for girls. There are agendas behind all social activist, even the writers of "Home and away" has teenagers sleeping together in casual affairs which will change the attitude of society to accept promiscuity as normal.

Hence the emotional and cheating deception it heaps on relationships.

Q&A Special: Between a Frock and a Hard Place it was claimed by one of the panel that full equality was the goal and marriage of same sex couples in all churches was the necessary for this goal.
None of the SS advocates disagreed; the can has many worms.

The same criticism as made by ex-Labor Latham regarding Labor can be made of the Taxpayer-funded broadcaster.

There are some very serious domestic issues affecting the community but the ABC and the Labor Party very much prefer to talk about homosexual marriage. The Greens have wasted the Parliament's time over and over again with gay activists' 'issues' that are few homosexuals probably agree with anyhow.

Here is the problem that is requiring distraction of the gay marriage can of worms,

<Bill Shorten causes Labor dismay over lack of ideas

BILL Shorten’s critics inside the Labor Party are growing. You don’t have to go far to find detractors in the party organisation, the unions or among the membership, including Labor elders, or to hear complaints about policy, strategy, communications or the slow pace of party reform.

Even some of Shorten’s biggest supporters concede they are disappointed.

There is also growing friction between Shorten and some Labor MPs. For months, the party leadership has been discussing the timing and sequencing of policy announcements. Shorten is cautious about rolling out policy now. Others argue that releasing policy would help redefine Labor as a party of ideas that is also willing to work with the government in some areas.
..
“What does Bill Shorten actually believe in?” asked ABC radio presenter Jon Faine last week. “What I fundamentally believe, and I think it was Martin Luther King who said this best, but (it was) I think true then and it’s true now: ‘Everybody is somebody’,” Shorten said. The interview was a train wreck. Shorten was asked the most fundamental question for any politician — what do they believe in — and he flubbed it..>

What about 'Struggle Street', drugs, youth and aged unemployment and those very serious, concerning matters that are continually being put on the back burner? What about Growthism and sustainability?

Fix things that matter, at home.

Platt,
So Chabad Lubavitch Rabbis and Mohammedan Imams aren't "worms in the can"? Yeah let's see the Marriage Equality proponents try to impose their will on that lot LOL.
The whole Social Justice movement of which marriage equality and LGBTIQ rights are a part is nothing more than a Christian heresy anyway and if history teaches us anything it's that destructive, dangerous movements like this can only be put down with massive amounts of violence.
Social Justice is not too distant in outlook from Catharism when you really look at it closely.
