A CONTROVERSIAL Sydney Imam has had a shoe thrown at him during a live interview on Egyptian television after suggesting Muslim women weren’t required to wear the burka. Dr Mostafa Rashid suggested the wearing of the burka was a cultural tradition rather than a religious duty, infuriating fellow guest, Egyptian lawyer Nabih al-Wahsh, who removed his shoe and began hitting the Australian with it.

"An organisation founded by the Australian Christian Lobby plans to bankroll legal cases for business owners who refuse to provide services to gay couples should marriage equality be legalised. The Human Rights Law Alliance, set up in Canberra last month with seed funding from the ACL, is seeking private contributions for a “fighting fund” to run cases that may arise if changes to the Marriage Act are passed." "The resources minister, Matt Canavan, says the abuse of Australia’s legal system by green groups seeking to delay mining projects warrants a “fundamental” review of environmental law. Canavan on Wednesday used a Queensland Media Club luncheon speech to take aim at activists who harbour an anti-development ideology." "The head of ANZ has admitted that some of the bank’s customers have not been advised that their financial advisers have been banned by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission."

I don't know enough about this to comment on it in any detail but this is pretty much the kind of behavior I expect from the LNP. Just making poo poo up without consulting anyone.

Cartoon posted:Six months in the most cruel of incarnations. I could see Abbot being right behind that as his "Western cultural wank think tank initiative". He'd call it encouraging a resurgence in the proud Australian tradition of brush rangers. Without knowing what that means other than vaguely remembering a couple old songs and some children's story character called Ned Kelly. Is it too late to add a "gently caress Brandis"? I don't think it is. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-05/solicitor-general-says-george-brandis-did-not-consult-on-issues/7906588 DancingShade fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Oct 5, 2016 |

You know it occurs to me that if they bought along a "pedophilia scum" sign they really should have stood outside a place of worship. Also lol I just realised they had one more sign in that photo than people to hold them.
