Bernardi causes havoc in Senate

There’s been some trouble on the Senate floor. The Australian Conservatives leader, Cory Bernardi, is causing mayhem for the government.

It looks as though a number of conservative Coalition senators have crossed the floor to vote on motions. The motions are coming thick and fast from Bernardi. One on abortion, another on the White Ribbon domestic violence campaign, another on GetUp.

The first related to ending Medicare funding for some forms of abortions. It was voted down 36 to 10, with Labor and the government opposing the motion. But Eric Abetz, Zed Seselja, Matt Canavan, and Barry O’Sullivan all voted with Bernardi.

Aust Conservatives(@AuConservatives)

Senator @CoryBernardi is moving a motion regarding gender selection abortion in the @AuSenate 
Motion asks how, if gender is a 'social construct,' can anyone justify aborting on gender grounds #auspol

November 16, 2017

The second motion asked the Senate to note that many senators are White Ribbon ambassadors, part of a campaign to end family violence. The motion, moved by Bernardi, also asked the Senate to note that White Ribbon “advocates for ‘nationally consistent access to safe and legal abortion, including late-term abortion in all states and territories’, and if senators have a concern about that stance, they ought to take it up with White Ribbon Australia”.

The motions provoked an angry response from some in the chamber. Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young sought to speak, labelling the proponents of the motions “a bunch of misogynistic ...”, before being cut off.

Liberal senator Ian Macdonald calls her a “dill”, and he is warned by the new Senate president, Scott Ryan. Ryan describes both phrases as unparliamentary.

Macdonald then rebukes Ryan for the ruling. 

There are some interesting dynamics at play here. Macdonald was in the running to replace Senate president Stephen Parry, who was forced out of parliament by the dual citizenship crisis but Ryanpipped him for the job.

Another early test for the new Senate president.

Cori Bernadi having an outright meltdown over this is funny as hell, even if he's stalling.

I tried to follow whatever brokebrain logic would lead to that statement and all I could get was that a lot of our Vietnamese migrant community were fleeing at the end of the war, and some areas with more Asian immigrants voted NO, so if anything the fall of Saigon helped the NO vote.

Although I think the real source of that statement would be: Anything I don't like = THE GOD drat COMMIES!!

I'll be real, I wasn't paying super close attention. Maybe the comparison was, the result isn't the fall of Saigon? It's a strange comparison to make regardless

Government senators also supported a motion that noted that GetUp was “seed-funded by organisations closely connected with Mr George Soros, a renowned globalist and funder of socialist politicians and causes; has provided and received support for left-of-centre political parties, trade unions and other organisations; and has actively campaigned like a political party, and in every such instance, against right-of-centre politicians during election periods”.

There's been a social media backlash over a mural of Tony Abbott and George Pell painted on a pub after a No campaigner urged people to give the venue bad reviews.

Artist Scott Marsh finished the mural on the back of the Botany View Hotel, which depicts Mr Abbott in a wedding dress with his hand down Cardinal Pell's pants, on the same day Australians voted in favour of same-sex marriage.

Overnight, beige and white paint was thrown at the mural on Maria Lane in Newtown, obscuring Pell's face.

Social Marxism or 'cultural marxism'? Because if the latter it's an anti-semitic conspiracy theory that says political correctness is part of a global Jewish conspiracy born of the work of Jewish Marxist academics who fled to the US from Nazi Germany. The theory goes that seeing armed revolutions fail in 1st world nations they hypothesised they needed to destroy the strong social and cultural heritage of the west which was causing false consciousness in Western proles. Cue the rise of the New Left and 60s counter cultural movements to pave the way for Global Judaeo-Bolshevist conquest.

It's all bullshit of course, but here's the ABC's very own former Political Editor Chris Uhlmann uncritically parroting it.

It sounds funny but it's actually a serious issue. There have been a lot of croc attacks and every time one happens it costs tens of thousands of dollars as rangers and cops have to go out for multiple nights on end to catch the crocodiles and find the victim's remains.
