ACT introduces Marriage Equality Bill

[Neferti]

Earlier ones include divorce, abortion rights, votes for women...

Votes for Females, yes. If I recall correctly, New Zealand was the first country to give females voting rights, followed closely by Australia. The Rest of The World came later.

What's "equal" about Divorce? I am damn sure you will find that most males think it favours females and in many instances, they would be right.

Abortion "rights" is still a huge issue Worldwide .... even in Australia.

They can all go to Canada, get married in French, come back and find NOBODY CARES! Then when it goes pear-shaped they will have to go back to Canada to sort it out. Good one.

It is NOT about "discrimination" it is all about a minority group trying to get their own way like a bunch of 2 year olds. "I'll HOLD MY BREATH if you don't let me have lollies". Good. Hold your breath kids ... and walk away, grown ups.

Hopefully they will hold their breath and PASS OUT... If we get lucky, some permanently.

Honestly, I care less. It's just another, what do you call them? Progressives? Perhaps Anal Retentives?

In Freudian psychology, the anal stage is said to follow the oral stage of infant or early-childhood development. This is a time when an infant's attention moves from oral stimulation to anal stimulation (usually the bowels but occasionally the bladder), usually synchronous with learning to control his or her excretory functions, a time of toilet training. Freud theorized that children who experience conflicts during this period of time may develop "anal" personality traits, namely those associated with a child's efforts at excretory control: orderliness, stubbornness, a compulsion for control.[2]

Although the term "anal retentive" survives in common usage, the concept, along with much of Freud's theories of psychoanalysis, is largely regarded as unscientific "pop-psychology" and therefore discredited by the majority of psychologists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.[3] Chicago psychoanalyst Robert Galatzer-Levy speaks of how this theory of Freud is mostly a product of its time when indoor plumbing was new and less numerous per household, and families were large, causing "much more control of defecation than was necessary in a world of chamber pots and outhouses."[4][unreliable source?]

If these qualities continue into later life, the person is said to be "anal-retentive". Conversely, those who reject anal-retentive characteristics are said to have "anal-expulsive" personality types.

Although Freud's theories on early childhood have been influential on the psychological community, research suggests that the overall pattern of parental attitudes has a much more concrete effect on how an infant will grow up. There is no conclusive research linking anal stage conflicts with "anal" personality types.[3]

Canberra is much closer

It's no wonder the progressive leftwing luvvies have gay marriage as their latest political pet to poison society with.

They spent the last 6 years getting fucked in the arse and loved it so much they were begging for more.

Ah, but they won't be able to get married in Canberra, mate. That's the whole thing. They can fuck off to Canada (or Wellington, NZ?) and that's it. Some how shearers and wool classers seem to me to miles apart but who knows what homosexual attraction involves. Better a man than a sheep, hey?

Listen to yourselves.

All gays are automatically assumed to be lefties. Not all gays want to get married - nor do all lefties agree with gay marriage. It's a minor issue which most advanced countries accept because it is not of major significance. Not in Australia though. The regressives feel threatened even though there are so few successful hetero marriages.

The self professed righties are regressive and can't stand living in the 21st century. They claim we should have third world wages to be competitive, but that only applies to others not themselves. Let's go back to 1900 - the days before unions existed and workers didn't have a living wage.

Anything that goes wrong - blame the lefties, regardless of the fact that it is actually the lefties cleaning up after the extreme conservatives when they've had a stint in power by privatising essential services.

Recently IQ - you complained about the state of our education and it was a valid complaint. Solution - send your kids to a private school. Did you know that we haven't got enough public schools now thanks to the baby bonus. Blind freddy could see this coming. Don't use our public hospital system either - it can barely cope with the poor. Wealthy people such as yourself don't need access to them. In fact the regressives would probably be happy to see only subsidised private hospitals in existence. Let's become like the US where if your poor - you're nothing and aren't entitled to free health services. They even have the once middle class living on the streets now thanks to the Republicans stuffing the world up with the GFC.

Don't ever use an ombudsman or expect subsidised day care for your kids. In fact if extremist regressives had their way - they'd carry a club around with them and beat anyone to death who demanded equal rights. The only thing stopping these regressives from ridding our streets of the inferior, is our police force and judicial system which hasn't yet been privatised. Maybe Abbott could do something about that.

Sounds like a perfect solution.

Leftys are to blame because every useless stinking idea comes from that side of the political spectrum. The progressive left always want to change things without any thought for the consequences because they are idiots and when it all turns to shit, the conservatives are left to clean up the mess they leave behind.
