Comments on: Help draft Vic legislation to ban conversion therapy /news/help-to-draft-vic-legislation-to-ban-conversion-therapy/188387 Setting Australia’s LGBTI agenda since 1979 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 23:09:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 By: Robert McCormick /news/help-to-draft-vic-legislation-to-ban-conversion-therapy/188387#comment-632330 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 23:09:39 +0000 https://starobserver.com.au/?p=188387#comment-632330 There should be no need whatsoever to have a “discussion” about banning the sadistic practice – introduced by the Baptist Union, a fanatical ultra-right-wing self-styled “Christian” church in the USA (they know nothing about the meaning of being a Christian) – called “Gay Conversion Therapy” (GCT).

This is just another example of politicians obfuscation, a means to delay actually doing anything and Andrews, like all of them, is simply playing politics, trying to protect himself and the ALP from some possible backlash by the fundamentalist, fanatical, self-styled “Christians”. Remember we have one of those who is, currently, the Prime Minister of our country!

Andrews is probably being threatened with cuts to federal funding if he introduces legislation banning GCT.

Think I’m indulging in some sort of conspiracy theory? Think again!

During the May 2018 federal by-election in SA the then Liberal Prime Minister told the voters in that state that his promised funding for one electorate would only be made available: “On condition the voters voted for the Liberal candidate.” They ignored him and dumped his candidate – a candidate which Liberal Party members in Victoria, not us voters, had dumped prior to the 2016 Federal Election!

If our politicians can indulge in political blackmail in one state they can, and will, do it in all states and territories.
