AFA: Homosexual marriage cost LNP Griffith
The Australian Family Association has issued a press release stating that the LNP’s Dr Bill Glasson lost the Griffith by-election due to his support for homosexual marriage. It certainly has merit and I have republished it in full below. There can be no doubt that Dr Glasson’s decision to adopt the same radical social policies as his Labor competitors reduced his appeal among conservative voters. Even in an urban seat like...
Now Margie Abbott comes out for gay marriage
If my post yesterday didn’t convince you that the Liberal Party is rapidly heading in the same direction as Labor on gay marriage, then there’s probably not much that will open your eyes. But here is one last shot. Tony Abbott’s wife, Margie, has today said that she is open to debate on gay marriage, stating that she believes love and commitment should be recognised. While I dispute that there is much love in a...
Getting a straight answer on gay marriage
There is one big social issue being bandied about at this election. Should gay and lesbian couples be recognised by the government and should it be called marriage. It might have already been a big, throbbing political issue but Kevin Rudd thrust it into the spotlight at the start of the campaign.

Family First has a great team of candidates – they are pro-life, pro-family and they are running for a party that has been given top marks for its taxation policy by the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance and praised for it housing affordability...
What does a Katter/Rudd preference deal mean for Australia?
Forget all the analysis you have read about the election being decided in Western Sydney. The big play is on in Queensland and it is happening this week. A Katter/Rudd preference deal will be a game changer. And the mail I’ve received from sources across the political spectrum is that it’s on. This is the scenario: Labor will send their senate preferences to Katter before the Greens. This will almost certainly ensure that James...
The great electoral fraud
This election really is one big fraud. On one side, we have smiling Kevin Rudd. The hero of the Labor Party. On the other, we have Tony Abbott and his speedos. The next Prime Minister. And even though most people can’t stand either and would invite neither to a backyard barbeque, they will still vote for one or the other of them. True, more will vote for Abbott and there will be a change of government. But not much will really change....
