Sexism at the heart of the Liberal Party....

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-07/greens-step-up-attacks-on-dutton/7073080

Such trivial news. I thought the Greens had become more than annoying lunatics with Di Natale in charge but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Ironic coming from a party that has Corey Bernandi as one of its members. A guy who believes the world was created 6,000 years ago.

Oops, & I forgot to mention their most 'educated' member, Dennis Jensen, who denies the science of anthropogenic global warming.

Completely irrelevant.

Personal attacks only highlight the incompetence of the left.

Don't they have some drill sites to protest at?

Very relevant. Just beyond righties to cognitively connect more than two dots, to realise that poor logic of thought affects other macro aspects.
Don't they have some non-white clouds to yell at.....?

What do personal religious beliefs have to do with a sexism issue associated with an inappropriate text?

Typical malicious lefties playing the man and not the issue. Gutter tactics for gutter people who hide in their clouds of morality.

Religion teaches the superiority of man, hence sexism.
Actually, its not about joining the dots, wilful ignorance ensures it doesn't even get that far...

That's drawing a long bow. That's like saying World War II started because Hitler was Christian.

Many true words spoken in jest...

Actually it's a basic connection. As for the second statement, substantial false equivalence.

Nahhhh, I think you're just talking about yourself.

So what about non-Christian or atheist sexists?

Kind of blows your shit argument out of the water.

Get back to the issue.

Shortens banter in a woollies aisle is the most cringeworthy thing I've seen in ages.

GST free lettuce :lol:

Australia does not recognise man's husband who dies on honeymoon

I really should stop reading leftist pieces. We're going to drum up all this nonsense again, over something that makes no difference whether we have it or not

Conspiracy theory: the representation of gay people in the government sector has created an illusion of over representation.

That death certificate is so harsh.

Fuck our country full of homophobes and intolerance.

I made a joke about my parents' wedding anniversary that in the time span since they got married people are now married for a few seconds (Vegas)
And / or you can marry of the same sex

...

I'm too tired to care :\

EDIT: The only thing that will happen for news like this is the inevitable internet fight in the comments section ;)

Yep pretty sad and not surprising that the Libs hushed up the ABC. Right wingers are less driven by evidence.
Pertinent points in the video about market manipulation to protect the Libs stuff up with Telstra. It also benefits Murdoch if the internet is slower, as it creates less competition for Foxtel.
The problem is that a large proportion of conservative voters are older. There is a reason for the proverb 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks' - as you age you become more staid in your thinking; less plasticity, less malleable. That's the connotation of the word 'conservative'. Older people, due to their unwillingness to learn, see a fibre network as simply one big expensive waste - they cannot grasp the long term benefit.
Us people who understand the benefit, just have to suck it up.
What is sad though, is Turnbull knows that fibre is the better option, both from a financial & infrastructure perspective, but he immorally exploits people's ignorance, rather than do the hard work of educating the public to its benefits.

If there is one chant more detestable/ contemptible than "Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi" : I raise you: "U S A !!! U S A!!! U S A !!! U S A!!!!!!"



Becoz the superbowl is on next week beeyatches!

I see your USA! USA! And raise you a QUEENNZZZ--LANNN--DAAARRR courtesy of every maroon during state of origin games.

Yay the internet is already full of victim cards played by anti-government latte drinking left wing fuckwits and aboriginals who are still pissed off about injustices committed by people who died before I was born.

Sorry for not being ashamed of this country. Sorry I personally stole your land.

I have no white guilt #shutupandgetajob

Do you always have to be an jack ass. Let them vent ffs nothing wrong with them believing what they believe in,

No but I don't expect a reasonable discussion about this issue. This annual day of whinging is fucking nonsense. It's the same divisive bullshit every year which only hurts our chances of reconciliation/closing the gap between indigenous/non-indigenous. Some of my issues if we're all for venting:

1) I get that the 26th is probably not the best day for a national celebration. I would have no qualms about moving it to be more sensitive towards our indigenous people. However, my view is that changing the day will not change a damn thing.

2) We cannot continue to be made to feel ashamed for the actions of 50+ years ago. Would you make Germans born in the 90's feel ashamed about the holocaust? Of course you wouldn't, nothing they could do will heal the wounds of generations past. Expecting people to feel shame for something outside of their control is playing a cruel victim card and is frankly pathetic. If the indigenous people who take issue with the anglo-saxons of Australia want to be treated with respect, taking every opportunity to criticise literally everything will not serve. Progress will only be made by finding middle ground. Instead we have generation after generation with a chip on their shoulder. Sad but true. Make all the excuses for it that you want but at least admit that progress is a two way street.

3) Media (Stan Grant comes to mind) are so fucking stereotypical on this issue. If you read the news at present every white Australian is a racist, sexist drunk and any sort of national celebration is offensive. This sort of nonsense is divisive and counter-productive.

4) Yes 'we' (our anglo-saxon forefathers a few hundred years ago) took land from aboriginals. What are we expected to do about it? Fuck off back to England. This nonsense needs to stop too. What are we meant to do about this?

5) Why are we not allowed to celebrate being Australians? This should be a day where regardless of age, gender, skin colour, religion etc. everyone who calls themselves Australian thanks their lucky stars that our country is pretty stable at the end of the day. We're not without our issues but it's not hard to find countries that are far worse off. We should be thankful for that.

Can't people just get on with life rather than making any kind of celebration into some form of drama? I am so sick to death of every kind of celebration of anything being a chance to out PC every other person in the country.

Not sure why any nation or culture would want to celebrate being invaded, and utterly losing.

Victimisation mentality breeds failure.

You must have forgotten anzac day

I've never understood why Australia chose the day they invaded a sovereign country in a war they had no place participating in as its day of remembrance.
