Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsSexist Pre-Schoolers Targeted — The Australian
Four-year-olds who exhibit sexist behaviour at preschool are the latest targets of the Victorian government’s crusade against family violence, with early childhood educators to be taught how to eradicate gendered norms and stereotypes from the classrooms.
The Future We Cannot Afford — Nick Cater, The Australian
The Shepherd Review released yesterday confirms that government is already borrowing to pay its daily bills. The time for self-delusion is over; seven consecutive budget deficits and an eighth around the corner cannot be explained away as a mere fluctuation in the cycle. We are running out of time to make the hard choices, the ones we’ve been putting off through wilful blindness or because of populist political headwinds that so far have proved impossible to overcome.
Mark Latham Cuts Loose In The Daily Telegraph — The Lefts Division Defeats Democracy
Today’s Labor/Green orthodoxy is to turn people against each other on the basis of their gender, race and sexuality. Within the gay lobby, a militant tendency has also emerged, using boycotts and intimidatory tactics to censor anyone who disagrees with them. The group that, more than any other in Australian politics, has pleaded with people to respect “difference” has become intolerant of differing points of view. The pigs are in the farmhouse, walking upright on their hind legs
Random Note #189,579 — If the senate WON’T change, it must BE changed, or NOTHING will change
If the senate WON’T change, it MUST be changed, or NOTHING will change and although it is fraught with danger under a progressive government, altering section 57 of the constitution via a referendum, as suggested by Tony Abbott does have merit. The plan would streamline and simplify the entire process of dealing with the senate and allow legislation that has been twice rejected, to go directly to a joint sitting, without the need, complexity or expense of going to a double dissolution election.
Random Note #213,672 — 18C, Whack-A-Mole, A Crapshoot
There’s no rhyme, reason or logic just as with Labor’s workshopped, loaded and fiendishly slippery talking points question “what do you want to say that you can’t say now.”
Because of the capricious and subjective nature of 18C, we simply don’t know and can’t possibly know until after the fact
Random Note #189,642 — Under Attack From Both Islamic And Cultural Jihadists
We know that the actions of the Islamist jihadist as that of an irrational and twisted mind bent out of shape by religion, but how to explain Labor’s Shadow Attorney General Mark Dreyfus and his sinister and secret plan to extend 18C? Its seems that he is a cultural jihadist with his mind twisted and bent out of shape by the religion of political correctness and identity politics.
We must beware how much ruin is in our nation — Greg Sheridan, The Australian
If this wicked legislation survives intact it will inevitably be used to prosecute the destructive agenda of modern, ideological identity politics. Identity politics, or communal politics, is always accompanied by a hysterical, populist fear campaign. That’s how you get people to identify primarily on the basis of communal identity rather than common citizenship. The Labor-Greens activist alliance will now presumably run just this kind of dishonest, dangerous fear campaign among ethnic communities. The relentless ideological denigration of Western civilisation in the humanities departments of our universities betrays a loss of self-confidence
Random Note #231,652 — Robo calls on Labor’s extreme application of 18C
If robo calls are the future of election campaigns as Labor has demonstrated with their Mediscare and penalty rates projects, they have, with the revelation that they are secretly planning to extend the scope of 18C to cover all manner of misery, grievance and identity industries, as well as 18C style laws to be used against those defending traditional marriage, gifted the conservative forces with an absolute election Eldorado. The only difference being that although the Labor/Union/GetUp campaigns have been totally fictitious and designed to scare, a similar Liberals robo campaign will be base on actual Labor policy. The big question is whether the Liberals are smart enough to exploit the situation.
Random Note #176,882 — Labor’s extension of 18C to other Grievance, Misery and Whinge and Fringe Identity Industries
What is chillingly revealed in todays Australian, is that Shadow Attorney General Mark Dreyfus and Labor hold to values that are inimical and alien to any democracy and particularly Australia.
As a Jew whose own father came from Nazi Germany, Mark Dreyfus Labor’s Shadow Attorney General, should know better than to go down this road. Dreyfus owes Martin Niemoller an apology. “First they came for the ——-” (fill in the gap). Dreyfus is beginning to reveal himself to be no better than some of the very worst of the worst authoritarians that history has thrown up. He deserves to be called out on how he reconciles the fascist ideology of WW2 with what he and Labor is proposing in 2017.
What Thinking Australians Are Thinking (Part 2) — Nuclear Power
I would like to offer my gratitude to Jay Weatherill. Without regard to his political future and at great expense to the citizens of South Australia, he has shown the developed world what a calamity renewable energy is. If you want blackouts, unemployment and companies told to bring their own electricity, South Australia will show you how. Now, thanks to the Weatherill manual on climate change, other countries know exactly what not to do.
