It’s OK to have an opinion. When that opinion, or the way it is stated, is offensive to others you should be blocked and deleted.

heaven forbid anyone say anything against the greens

this site appears to be little more than a greens promotion and propaganda rag

why not do us all a favor and report on the real agenda of the greens?

Editor’s Note:
At no point have your posts been censored and to suggest so is scurrilous and untrue. You have merely been asked to interact on the forum in a meaningful and respectful way.

I can assure you that I have never used the word “slutty” in this forum and you are welcome to point me to where I have

sounds to me that you are changing the argument to promote communism and bankrupt us all

the wonderful thing here is that even you can go to the library and read the communist manifesto and compare it with greens policy

Yes you are a nut job saying all sorts of nasty things about us then denying it. And telling the editor to keep the debate to backslapping the Greens? Says it it all I guess.

the editor may want to keep the debate to backslapping the greens and

dave-

where and when have i ever used the word “sluts”, should be easy to find since you say I have used it “many times”. do you know for a fact that I am “nutty”?

do the research and tell e I am wrong – the wonderful part of this is that you can find out for yourself what the greens are

Is a nutty Christian who is against us having Same-Sex Marriage as he has said many times were are sluts etc. He is against the Greens on the basis they are advocating for our rights.

I say again Howard went out of his way to reinforce the marriage Act as being between a man and a woman, by doing this he attempted to stifle debate and in fact did so until the change of government even now the labour party does not have a hard and fast policy on gay marriage which allows the Greg Donnelly the freedom to vote the way he did wether you agree with him or not this is call democracy.

Do Not Be Fooled

it is no use being married if your country is bankrupt by the Greens

do the research- don’t take my word for it – read the greens policies and then read the Communist Manifesto

DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO SUPPORTING THE GREENS WITH THEIR COMMUNIST AGENDA WHICH WILL TAKE AWAY RIGHTS AND BANKRUPT OUR COUNTRY

Editor’s Note: To greens are communists and will bankrupt australia, we request you start engaging the forum in a more meaningful way or not at all.

And if we are to be putting pressure on, keep it focussed on a national debate.

It keeps the issue alive over the next 12 months while we’re waiting for the federal ALP to get their act together.

However! Should any particular state actually pass such legislation, we would be doomed to another 6 years to wait to get back where we are now as it would give the Federal government the perfect out to say the state’s have the power to do it “we can’t”.

Alternatively, the passage of state legislation, may actually allow the issue to end up in the High Court and have enevitable situation of the High Court ruling about whether the consitution does actually allow the Federal Government to legislate for same-sex marriage OR does it only allow for the “original intent” which was man and woman.

Regardless, the state-by-state process is a high risk, high value approach. It could be the answers to our prays, but it could also be the noose with which we hang ourselves. I dare say it may be the latter :(

He is Duty MLC for the electorates of Manly, Hornsby, Port Stephens and Clarence. Make sure his stand on this becomes his downfall.

He is not at all very bright. How do such dullards get to hold such positions of power and importance?

For States that agree with equality, the Civil Right of Same-Sex Marriage, they put great pressure on the Commonwealth, for those States that do not agree, it keeps the debate alive, coming up over and over, forcing the parties to bleed longer, and depriving them of oxygen to talk about social justice without talking about areas of discrimination in our community.

The Same-Sex marriage debate raises the many other areas of discrimination GLBTI people have, as those that appose Same-Sex Marriage are forced to concede they want all other areas of discrimination removed. We would not of had Malcom Turnbull talk about the injustices on good and decent people who are intersex, had it not been for the debate on Same-Sex Marriage. We would not have had funding for Nursing home education, and the list goes on.

State by State is turning into issue by issue, in the areas some of us do not get a fair go.

Having said that, it is amazing the Shop Assistants Union, with its many gay members, continues to actively shit on any gay and lesbian reform.
