Re: bottom pic - I never cease to marvel at how two people can come out of the same womb as sister and brother and yet turn out to be so different. Christine Forster is everything that her brother Tony Abbott isn't.

"The Australian Christian Lobby has likened same-sex marriage and the Safe Schools program to the Holocaust."
How dare they diminish the unspeakable tragedy of the Holocaust in this comparison.

Hmmm. Gotta love those Christians and their fake morals.
Maybe someone needs to tell them that Eve was the first ever transgender person.
After all, she supposedly came from Adam's Rib. So she was also the first clone.

Currently we're house sitting in Wiltshire for a same sex couple who are away out of the country on holiday. They’re two women, one's a social worker and the other is Anglican clergy. We haven't met them yet but going by the cute little country cottage, their book collection and the fact that their radio defaults to BBC Radio 3 (the classical music station, the BBC equivalent of ABC Classic FM), they seem like the kinda people who'd be nice to know. I like these " soft" Christians - the Uniting Church seems to fill this niche in Australia - where it all seems to be about charity, good works, progressive social values and God is a kind of optional extra. There's a world of difference between them and the hardline extremists of the Australian Christian Lobby. Besides you don't have to be a Christian to be opposed to same-sex marriage. Remember that Julia Gillard voted against same-sex marriage in a shabby and disgraceful deal she did with the SDA to become prime minister. The fact that she recanted after leaving politics just increases my contempt for her opportunism. You'd think Turnbull would have observed what that sort of shabby deal-making so that you adopt the contrary position to what you hitherto stood for can do to your credibility.
