Isn't 'gender X' a legally defined gender in Australia though? And has been for years?

I'm not racist, I'm mates with Bangladesh, the guy who sells me kebabs. No, I don't know his real name.
So the dude who got hit by a croc the other day jumping in the creek on a dare

1) Wasn't jumping in because of a dare but instead doing it to impress a woman
2) Wasn't jumping in because the woman wanted him to do it to impress her, instead wanted him to not do it
3) Had this to say afterwrds (final sentence)

I've thought a lot about which country is more racist, Australia or the UK, but I don't think it can be determined because we're racist in interestingly different ways

edit - Britain's perverse joy in Australian racism also reminds me of this Grundle classic https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jul/08/what-british-jokes-australians-mean

So in addition to the USA banning electronic devices larger than a mobile phone from flying from the Middle East*, we've now got the UK doing the same thing. Take solace in the fact that Dutton is crying into his morning coffee wondering why he never thought of this**

* This only applies to non-USA airlines, so it's more likely just a cartel style ban than just a purely racist one
** Dutton never had an original thought in his life, he just takes the cruelest ideas of others and goes hog wild.

Queensland does something right? What is this world coming to?

The ABC posted:

Lobbyist Catholic priest Paul Kelly has welcomed Queensland Parliament's move to scrap what he called a "homophobic, archaic and outdated law" that allowed gay panic as a partial defence for murder.

Parliament last night passed the Criminal Law Amendment Bill to amend section 304 of the code, removing unwanted sexual advances as a partial defence of provocation for murder.

The law had been a legal loophole allowing murder charges to be downgraded to manslaughter.

"I'm absolutely thrilled that the 290,000 signatures on my change.org petition and support from Queensland Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath led to the axing of this homophobic, archaic and outdated law," Father Kelly said.

"It's been a personal journey and a very emotional journey. I think this is a great victory to have everybody stand equally under the law."

Father Kelly was parish priest at St Mary's Catholic church in the Wide Bay town of Maryborough, where Wayne Robert Ruks, 45, was bashed to death in July 2008.

Jason Pearce, 43, and Richard Meerdink, 46, were jailed in 2010 for manslaughter, after claiming that Mr Ruks had made homosexual advances to Pearce when they were sitting on a bench in the church yard.

Mr Ruks, who had a blood alcohol reading of 0.338, was tackled, kicked and punched for several minutes while he was on the ground, and died from internal bleeding.

Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath said last night's legislative changes were long overdue and addressed an unacceptable inequality.

Queensland and South Australia had been the only states in the country to still allow the gay panic defence.

The LNP supported the amendment bill, with shadow attorney-general Ian Walker agreeing it was important.


Time to lift your game SA, you're meant to be the progressive state or some poo poo.

Well the 18C boondoggle continues to work as designed. The front pages of the gutter press and the airwaves of the gutter jock were full of racist bleatings to the tune of Bill Leaks Opus No18C. The Arsetralian is trumpeting that Bill Leak's death was what brought about the change. Not that anything has changed yet. I'm not a racist but, gently caress those <insert race of choice>. Multicultural means you are free to put what ever race you want in the <insert race of choice>.

The amount of hate being spewed out over Gillard becoming head of Beyond Blue is mind boggling.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
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.

Had to watch Bolt Report last night since I was over at my folks (and I half believe my Dad just watches it when I'm around to wind me up) and in a half hour jerk off session about removing 18C he talked to Henderson about ABC bias and played a 5 second clip of Paul Barry saying "in my opinion, renewable energy is the future".

Paul Barry, in a 5 second clip from his once a week, 15 minute show.

Highlighted by Bolt in his half hour tirade against 18C (nightly) that he was personally convicted under.

They don't need to beat PHON, they need to beat the ALP. I'm still extremely dubious that anyone who has stuck with Labor up to this point is going to be swung by tweaking of 18C.
