Chris Kenny is such a reprehensible shitlord that he makes me want to like Joe Hildebrand.

There isn't a "Worst Australian of the Year" award that runs opposite the "Australian of the Year" award but I think there should be.

The trophy for it can be of Chris Kenny loving a dog.

So am I reading this wrong or at no point does he refute the allegation that he forced his way into her room? The only thing he refutes in relation to Pamela Curr's quote is that on his second visit (why would he need to visit a second time?) Abyan agreed to a photo if her face was not shown. And I don't know about you guys but if it takes two visits to convince someone to allow you to take their photo and even then you have to agree not to show their face, it doesn't sound like you've had the most pleasant relationship??

No he sued them to prove that they alleged that he hosed a dog. Which they claimed they did not allege.

He went to court to prove that someone alleged he hosed a dog.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
In other news the religious wing of the conservatives have gotten in a huff with the revelation that the plebiscite they demanded may result in actual legislation. You see now the idea is the plebiscite is to gauge the publics view of the politicians having a conscience vote! Those goal posts are moving amazingly fast.

quote:

Tasmanian Liberal senator Eric Abetz has just told the ABC this is a “thought bubble and an ambush to boot”. Abetz says the position of the Coalition party room is clear: there will be no change to the party’s position on marriage in this term of government. A plebiscite will be held after the next election and the parliament will respond with a free vote. Abetz says of the renewed push, these are not actions that will help party unity. He’s noted that his colleague Warren Entsch “spends an inordinate amount of time on this issue and good luck to him”.

Abetz has been joined by LNP senator Matt Canavan and ACT senator Zed Seselja. Both Canavan and Seselja say the present parliament should not pass legislation binding a future parliament. But unlike Abetz, his Senate colleagues are both signalling they’ll ultimately accept what the voters decide. In principle at least.

quote:

“What’s the point of holding a plebiscite if then after that plebiscite Malcolm Turnbull gives Coalition members a conscience vote?” the shadow assistant education minister, Amanda Rishworth, has just told Sky News. “The question of whether or not there will be a conscience vote after the plebiscite has still not been resolved,” she said. “He couldn’t answer that question in question time.”

Later Abetz had a rant about the left wing media too and the demonisation of the RELIGIOUS right.

quote:

Q: On that issue, more broadly on that issue, you took a swipe at the media for unfairly treating conservative Christian politicians earlier this week. Do you really think Christian values don’t get a fair hearing?

Eric Abetz

What I said was that there was a negative sentiment over right-conservative politicians and a subset of that was the treatment of Christian conservative politicians. And yes, I do. How often for example have I had to put up with the tag of “religious right” or “far right”, whereas [you] hardly ever hear it of the “religious left” or the “irreligious left” or the “far left” or the “extreme left” when talking about the Australian Greens or vast elements of the Australian Labor party? And it’s this sort of subtle stereotyping and slapping labels on people that a number of my colleagues have got a bit sick and tired of and as a result I gave expression to it. And if I might say, Michael, the public reaction has been overwhelming, people saying …

Q: Religious right, though – it’s not an inaccurate description though, is it?

Well the term – well, if you are into labels Michael, and this is where all I’m seeking is fair treatment. If you say “religious right”, why don’t you say “irreligious left” or “Godless left”? That is what I’m talking about. If you want accurate descriptors where religion all of a sudden becomes so important, fine, but then call out atheists for what they are – atheists. And that never happens, does it Michael? And that is what I am concerned about. And, can I tell you, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of our fellow Australians are concerned about that unfair treatment as well, keeping in mind that more people go to church of a weekend than go to the football.

Never heard of separation of church and state mistah speakah.

Police on Nauru have interviewed the Somalian refugee at the centre of an abortion controversy but she has declined to make a statement or lodge a rape complaint.

Widespread publicity about the rape claims made by Abyan (not her real name), despite no formal notification having been made, prompted the police to seek her out and give her the opportunity to make a statement.

Three police officers and an interpreter arrived at 23-year-old Abyan’s beachside refugee housing complex mid-afternoon yesterday and waited for almost an hour — apparently because the interpreter refused to co-operate. Eventually the officers spoke to Abyan without the interpreter but with her roommate (a Somali woman with good English) present. The police spent about 15 minutes in the hut and emerged to say Abyan had declined to either make a statement or lodge a formal complaint. Instead, the police had been instructed to talk to her Australian lawyer.

Afterwards Abyan, who had invited The Australian into her home yesterday, again spoke briefly outside her door and agreed to have her photo taken without her face being shown.

She said she was feeling unwell and still was determined to have her pregnancy terminated.

Abyan said she did not know where her termination could or would take place — given abortions are illegal on Nauru — but she reiterated she did not wish to return to Australia. “No, not Australia,” she said, “anywhere but Australia or Nauru.”

Abyan declined to say why she had not reported her alleged rape.

Probably because those atheist politicians don't use it as a basis for denying rights to others.

It's pretty lol that they want to spend tens of millions of dollars on a plebiscite that, if successful, will only allow for a conscious vote that can freely ignore the result anyway.
