Professional poo poo Smear, Andrew Bolt posted:Shocked by the invasion of Europe last year by more than 1 million illegal immigrants from the Muslim Third World, Britons have particularly voted against mass immigration and Europe’s open borders. They have voted against multiculturalism and the lie that all cultures are equal and equally deserving of respect.  Andrew 'I'm not racist, just a homophobe' Bolt posted:Note also another growing fear arising from the British vote — that the public, if given a say, will reject the restraints and the policies foisted on them by the elite.

Having compulsory can stop stupid poo poo happening. The UK had 46.5 million elegibile voters, and 17.4 million voted to leave. That's less than 38% of the electorate. A referendum here would never get up on such weak support.

gently caress I hope for Labor minority. I've also noticed the ABC getting slowly more right wing. Leigh sales went for the neck of Bill but only slightly roasted Turnbull. It's weird.

Solemn Sloth posted:Don't worry you'll feel much better on Sunday with another three years of Liberal rule to look forward to Yeah but it's different to the last election. It'll be 3 more years of the same poo poo we have now instead of voting in a better government. Sure it's bad when you think of what you could have had, but it's not going to be worse than it is now. Senate should be able to hold the fort or three years. Last election, however, was going from something that was passably good despite leadership turmoil (and bipartisan issues that would have been bad regardless) to letting the wreckers in.

To be honest I don't mind the idea of churches being able to decline to hold same sex wedding ceremonies. Their views shouldn't be imposed on society at large but if they want to be fuckwits within their own religious circle that should be up to members of said religion.

Missing the last possible chance to make any sort of meaningful contribution to climate change mitigation A publicly funded tidal wave of bile and hatred directed at gay and trans people at the end of which we may not even get a SSM bill passed. This is just the stuff we already know they're going to do The next term is going to be a whole loving world of poo poo.

Yeah I think Churches is well not ok, but a compromise that is necessary, but Howard was talking about non religious groups, bakers, photographers, general venues, basically open season on saying "no Gays allowed".

Other than the fact people in small towns with limited options could be SOL, and just generally because it would make people feel like poo poo about the biggest event in their lives to be turned away for such a dumb rear end reason, it would be nice to see bigoted businesses run themselves into the ground by refusing clientele and trashing their own word of mouth.

Seagull posted:they'd kick up a stink regardless, why not force them to make the cake that trashes their own name I guess because I imagine people who have a nohomos law to hide behind will be openly bigoted whereas without they will just do passive-aggressive spiteful poo poo that is harder to prove and stamp out. Like how workplace discrimination for gender, race, sexuality, religion, family status, etc is against the law but you won't go hurting for people who are certain they've been dropped off the short list because of it. That's just an idle thought though, I am still not in favour of such an exemption for private businesses.

It's why, despite not being a fan myself, I think NXT's genuinely the best thing to happen to South Australia politically. The guy's going to clean house in a major way just by targeting ignored seats in an ignored state. Even if he doesn't get many seats (and he'll grab up a few for sure), suddenly people have to care about Adelaide.

The ABC has been getting more and more right wing as more and more people have been appointed to positions in the ABC for right wing political reasons. At some point I'm expecting critical mass and every change of government to be a Stalinesque purge across the board in every department, ousting every appointee under a previous government.
