Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsPlebiscite a casualty in the debate over marriage laws — Anne Twomey, Legal Affairs, The Australian
“…A plebiscite is primarily used to resolve contentious social issues where there are divisions within political parties, and a vote of parliament alone would probably not be sufficient to quell social disagreement on the issue. Its purpose is to ensure that those with strongly held views on one side of the argument receive definitive evidence that their view is not supported by a majority. This allows them to accept the outcome and gives greater democratic legitimacy to the action of the parliament when it legislates to implement the view of the majority. It is therefore a very useful democratic mechanism to resolve such passionate conflicts in a peaceful manner…”

We Need Realists Running The UN — Jennifer Oriel, The Australian
The appointment of Antonio Guterres as Secretary-General of the United Nations poses significant danger to the free world. As president of Socialist International, Guterres envisaged a radical model of government led by a UN parliamentary assembly that would facilitate the emergence of “global citizens”. Guterres was president of the Socialist International at its 22nd congress which resolved that: “the goal of the SI must be to parliamentarise the global political system” by the establishment of a “UN parliamentary assembly”. There is nothing sinister about the dream of a peaceful world order led by powers invested in global security and democracy.
However, a UN parliament would produce the opposite. Liberal democratic states constitute a numerical minority which would be overwhelmed by Islamist, communist and socialist states in a global assembly. The consequence is evident in the transformation of the UN over the past two decades.
The largest voting bloc at the UN is the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation. The OIC replaced the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with the Islamic Cairo Declaration whose articles are not universal, but established “in accordance with the Islamic Shariah”.

European commission tells British press not to use ‘Muslim’ to identify terrorists — American Thinker
ECRI has made 23 recommendations to make the U.K. into the politically correct paradise ECRI wants. Among them, the press should no longer mention the word “Muslim” when identifying terrorists. The problem with ECRI is its interpretation of “hate speech.” ECRI administrators appear to be saying that any speech that offends anyone is hate speech.
‘Behead, Burn, And Crush Gays’ Islamic Preacher To Deliver 10 Days Of Lectures In London — Beitbart
A "religion" of evil. But of course the question that should be directed to the British government is why are they allowing this creature, this low life bottom feeder, to incite hatred? If anyone else were to stand in the public square and say the same about any other...

What is it with these people? Gay hate preacher Sheik Shady, invited to dine at Kirrabilli House no less. This time it’s another imported Jewish hate preacher. Where’s immigration?
What is it with these people? These gate crashers at the feast of humanity. A few months ago it was gay hate speech by Sheik Shady, invited to dine at Kirrabili House no less. This time it’s Jewish hate speech. And there has been a stack of other instances of similar behaviour. Are these people shameless, stupid, criminal or all three? Are we seriously meant to believe that they don’t research their speakers before engaging them on a speaking tour and aren’t across their views and beliefs?
