Just as election results can be surprising, so too can sections of the Uniting Church it seems. It will be a surprise to leftist “Christians’ - who misinterpret the Bible to suit modern fads - that there still exists in the most left of lefty Churches, a conservative cohort still not happy with the decision to allow the celebration of same sex marriage within the Uniting Church.

Multiple conservative movements are gaining force, with some of them threatening to take over church property and finances, setting up as options to the mother church.

A rift on SSM has already seen members leaving the church to escape the bullying and ostracising of congregants who take the scriptures seriously. Some churches have remove the Uniting Church name from their signs, with one congregation in SA considering returning to its Presbyterian roots.

As the confident Leftists found from the rejection of Labor last weekend, they are not going to get their own way all the time - in politics or in the wider community.

Some will not like seeing this, from me
But you better think on it, it is true
Bob Brown's green left safari was a disaster, for Labor
The stalling of Adani, knowing full well we intended to pass it, another stupid act
Begging the government to bring the offshore detainees here? against the wishes of over half this country's voters
Now IF we keep aid out of the hands of despots?
See it makes it way, every cent, to those who need it?
Voters will not call for it to be stopped
Waiting for Labor to turn the clock back, become purely socialist?
Sees nine votes lost for every one gained
Do the maths, follow the voters not lost dreams

Diver Dan just re read every post, usually give yours a miss
Mate, ruok? in the tin shed that is?
Would be totally convinced I was not if that post was mine, PS still one nation supporter? not near as bright as you think you are bloke

NSW Labor, once the engine of Labor, has its own troubles it faces a election [this time contested] of it leader and the result will take about a month
Labor,federally and in my state, looked likely to win, but tread on its own feet
That only highlights the fact change must come
Scomo, if you agree Labor lost based on it overload of policies, too has to show something changed or is about to, in his government

Belly,

You did give your preference to the Greens.

is mise did you give yours to the Liberals?
Can you show me another way either of us should have voted and know it was effective?
It remains my view the greens are far too far away from voters
That they have policies , some good, but most that can never ever see them elected
Is Mise it is my view, as a center unity [Labor right] voter we the ALP, must move back a few steps, we too got in front of the voters not behind following them
And firmly, believe the next three years will see a Labor government
Senate quite friendly to Scomo, but it will force a double Dissolution, just what Scomo may want
