also Ben's QE is one of the best things I've read this year. The hysteria and misinformation out there in relation to Safe Schools absolutely infuriates me and I'm glad a relatively high profile writer took the time to meticulously correct the record.

Barrie Cassidy was pointing out the obvious on AM this morning with Jon Faine that if they push hard for "religious freedoms" around this, they shoot themselves in the foot cos hey, Islam is a religion too you idiots.

look edwardo, they're only trying to strike a balance between the freedom to destroy the lives of everyone they hate and the freedom to turn every australian into a fucking handmaid

Listening to the Senate debate last week with all the “reasonable” arguments about the “rights” of bigots to cling to their bigotry was enough to erase any magnanimity toward the misguided noes. Imagine in the aftermath of the 1967 referendum, arguments being made to modify the recognition of indigenous citizens to protect the beliefs of people who really really feel that non white races are inferior. I mean, it’s their traditional belief, right? And yet all this poison was spoken righteously and entered into the parliamentary records of our country. Fuck you, bigots, I hope you squirm in your discomfort. It’s done now. Fix your hearts or die.

well said. what a fucking embarrassment. although it was delightful to hear christensen shriek about the cheering in the gallery, which was followed by cheering in the gallery. and the more the gallery cheered, the more it wound up the bigots. there's nothing like an angry sore loser, especially when they're fucking muck, and it's on video and in hansard for eternity. good. they can fucking die.
