Are you aware this was a non-binding, $120 million survey in which ~40% of Australians voted to not give gay people rights in order to appease a small group of shitheads currently in government?

FFS stop saying this poo poo 39% of responders which is maybe 20% of the population when you include people who didn't vote, voted informally or were below voting age (this impacts people not old enough to vote, after all)

VodeAndreas posted:What's your opinion on imprisoning asylum seekers in offshore facilities? Very bad! Its a disgrace. Imagine if britain hadn't voted for brexit and if your lovely politicians hadn't gotten thrown out of office and then your country had voted no on same sex marriage. It didnt happen that way it happened the other way, so Australia has gone UP in the rankings and Britain has gone DOWN! Australia is far from perfect but you're not the worst anymore, the British are! Rejoice!

"Better than Britain" isnt like winning the nobel prize or anything, but you guys have every right to be proud of yourselves, you've done a very good thing with your non-binding postal consultative polling vote or whatever. Imagine how much it would have sucked if it went the other way.

You know all the hardcore bigots definitely wouldn't have missed voting no so that probably shrinks the percentage of genuine homophobes down to about <15-20% which is better that I expected.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Considering being open and not racist towards immigrants leads to far better results with regard to integration, there's literally no need to change the left's position. It is this. I live right next to auburm which has massive Muslim and Christian Chinese populations. I saw multiple Chinese people handing out no propaganda. I did not see any Muslims doing this. A few months ago there was an imam who pretty much said that the reason the muslim community has not been vocal on this issue is that they didnt want to piss off the left as they were afraid of losing allies. The chinese community hasn't needed the left as an ally mostly because we arent putting them in concentration camps. Essentially lots of the muslim community have been peer pressured into not being vocally homophobic because of the left's decency towards them.

Just a reminder of Jim Molan's contribution to public policy: "Following his retirement from the army, Molan was appointed by the Abbott Government as a special envoy for Operation Sovereign Borders and was subsequently credited with being an architect of the coalition's Stop the Boats Australian border protection and asylum-seeker policies."

Big Willy Style posted:It is this. This is a weird conclusion to draw. If you are saying that Muslims have been pressured into not being homophobic because they are repressed and marginalised, whereas Chinese people are free to be more hateful because they are more accepted in society, surely the assumption would be that repression reduces homophobia, not leftist tolerance and decency. (I'm not arguing this is how people actually think or repression of minorities is something the left should embrace)
