Paul Mitchell has raised an issue that bears consideration and which has not been discussed on this forum.

I do not know if the inferences and implications made by Paul Mitchell are correct but I would like to draw readers’ attention to the dynamics underlying his comments.

In NSW it is possible for minority groups to get a representative elected to the NSW Legislative Council and those elected members can compromise with the majority party in parliament for the benefit of their minority group.

The examples are, Fred Nile’s minority group, The Greens, The Shooters party. All those minority groups got a representative elected to the State Upper House and those representatives had made compromises with the majority party in parliament for the benefit of their members.

If those minority groups can do it so can the gay community.

We can form a political party and get a member or two members elected to the NSW Legislative Council and make compromises with the majority party in parliament for the benefit of our minority group.

Fred Nile is getting in the way of long-over due reform in this area, which has been proposed since 1997. Fred Nile has made deals with Rees to pass other legislation in the upper House, if Rees continue to ban adoption rights for same-sex couples. “Rees is acting like a puppet to please the far right-wing bigotery from Nile, despite Rees being from the far-left”!!!
