Dear Yuyutsu,

It really is an utterly bleak, dystopian world you seek isn't it.

However the 'freedom' you want is already there. A bunch of homophobic parents can gather as a collective and form a school which sets its own rules around the expulsion of Aussie kids who openly affirm a non-majority sexuality. All the rest of us are saying is that we don't want our taxes funding this kind of bigotry.

I remember just a few months back Morrison explaining the reason he sent his own kids to a Christian School.
He opposed safe schools.
Now he's forced to introduce it because of globalist Turnbull sellout antics.

- Sells his own religion out on a bad week, what a shill!
I guess we all know he can bend over and pull his cheeks apart now.

And I told you all Turnbull is the 'smiling assassin' and Morrison is a 'Well meaning douchebag with his head up his butt'...

How come nobody ever trusts my judgement?
I'm right far more often than not.

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank You so much for all your contributions.

I doubt if too much is going to happen regarding this
issue at the moment. The Wentworth By-Election is on
this Saturday, 20th October 2018, and I doubt if
anybody from the Coalition is going to be speaking on
this topic at present. They would not want to risk
losing their one vote majority by losing Wentworth - which
I believe has a vast amount of gays in its community.

Also the Ruddock Review has to go before Cabinet so it is
going to be some time before this matter is discussed.
We shall have to wait and see what happens in the future
regarding this issue.

Interesting times ahead.

Dear SteeleRedux,

«However the 'freedom' you want is already there.»

I have no need for this kind of freedom (of expelling pupils on the grounds of their sexual orientation), but if I believe in freedom then I cannot pick and choose.

That said, the freedom to form a special school as you described, stupid as it may be, is only available to wealthy parents: poor parents are still forced to send their children to public school where they are indoctrinated with the value-system of the government of the day.

Religious freedoms are currently in danger all over the world as well as in Australia.

«All the rest of us are saying is that we don't want our taxes funding this kind of bigotry.»

Neither do I, but I also don't want my taxes to fund the compulsory incarceration and indoctrination of children in state-run schools.

«It really is an utterly bleak, dystopian world you seek isn't it.»

Which part of what I wrote makes you think so?

Yuyutsu thanks! look we do not even live in the same paddock the chances we will ever agree are zero, so thanks
I am not gay,but voted yes, my point?
Some of us understand bigotry, the best of us want an end to it, these pages are full of it.
not every one, not all, but a few lost soles want us to think bigotry is normal.
That poll underlined it is not near true.
It is not my choice, why lie? to be in the company of same sex people, in my work years it was part of my job,voting yes did not change that.
Just watched a Doco, the Scottsboro boys, reminded me why I dislike bigots

Dear Belly,

What makes you think that I like bigots?

---

Regarding the SSM vote, sorry, but the way the question was worded prevented any logical person from voting 'Yes':

“Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?”

How can a door that is already open be possibly opened?
Even before the plebiscite, nothing prevented same-sex couples from marrying, then how can legislation possibly change that?
