hooman posted:https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/may/02/catholics-warn-against-winner-takes-all-approach-on-marriage-equality quote:The parliamentary inquiry is separate to the Ruddock review of religious freedoms which has opted for secret hearings and has heard complaints that religion is being forced from the public square as a consequence of the changed definition of marriage in the civil law. Why is a discussion on religious freedom being done in secret? Forcing regressive, hateful religions out of the "public square" can only lead to good things for society. quote:Casey, who was not asked about the Catholic threat to sack their staff, said Australian society needed to discourage the default view that people with strong opposing beliefs are one’s enemies, adding “we need to de-escalate these things”. You hold that gay people are subhuman and have done everything in your power to poo poo on them. Of course you're the loving enemy.

Solemn Sloth posted:A doctor and senior Mormon who blames ungodly love for HIV, as well as a prominent campaigner against the Safe Schools program, have been elected to positions in the Victorian Liberal Party. I'd laugh too, but religious bigots in power is never funny. Even just a little power is still enough to hurt people.

Zenithe posted:Oh right, I drove past a giant brand new Palmer poster on the way to work, just his dumb face and MAKE AUSTRALIA GREAT on it. I saw one of those the other days and was going to snap a picture but I was driving. A serious "What the gently caress?" moment considering I'm in Victoria.

Aesculus posted:It's still absolute poo poo to shut down discussion of how we can help these people who are being actively tortured in concentration camps and to still basically condone it. I was talking about the horrors of our immigration policy in a couple of other threads and people were responding well, then the whole "We lost one and a half thousand immigrant children after forcibly separating them from their parents for no reason other than racism and they're probably slaves now or dead. Also we tied them up and tased and tortured and starved and abused them for fun" thing came out with the US. It was like the "hold my beer" meme, but with crimes against humanity.

Saw the front page of the Herald Sun yesterday with a huge three page story on that celebrity chef who was ripping off his staff. Whole thing (three loving pages!) was about how him underpaying his staff and how badly he was treating them was making them feel bad. That's right, it was the people trying to make him pay his staff the money he was obliged to by law were the real bad guys here. Headline literally: quote:"MasterChef star and Vue de Monde owner Shannon Bennett says underpay attacks hurt staff"

Yes, which must be why the government made it illegal to tell the media what's going on there with a punishment of several loving years imprisonment.Don Dongington posted:As a counterpoint, it is also incredibly likely that there are bodies buried all over the joint, and disgruntled former employees or servicemen just waiting for the ability to rat on Morrison/Dutton without fear of hyperpartisan reprisal. Literally buried Well, we never were able to find out where all those who die at sea end up, were we?
