Some things should not happen, but they do. Gay marriage was brought into the UK by a conservative government. There have been insufficient protections for schools and churches, so activists have behaved badly and effectively. It was imposed on the population, just like the ALP and Get up! are campaigning to do. The issue is not love. It is not gay union, as civil unions already recognise gay couples. It is not recognition of married couples who are married overseas. They are already recognised. There are already churches that hold civil unions within their church buildings. The only reason for Gay marriage is related to a government over reach. Government wants to approve who gets married, but civil unions aside, it is not a government's business. Divorce is regulated, but can be handled through civil union provisions. Gay activists want to get churches who don't accept their lifestyle, and schools with a religious background, to raise children queer. And that is not for government to do, but parents.
A climate fraudster is being jailed. Maybe when they are released, they can be hired by AGL? AGL seem bent on hiring climate activists, as they move from core business to bullying customers.
Can Trump persuade NK not to suicide?

Years ago I stopped contributing to my local newspapers after both began publishing abusive letters in my name, but refused to publish my letters which weren't abusive, but which supported conservative values. I'm not a social conservative, I'm an economic one, believing in small government and limited spending. And when I spoke to the journalists they seethed with hatred for me. It looks like a part of the culture of the left. But I think it is smaller than that. The hypocrisy lies among the leadership of Journalists, in how they are inducted into service and trained. On their work pressures and pay masters.
The left have demonstrated time and again that lying about and lampooning an opponent is successful in limiting their success. Sarah Palin and Tony Abbott spring to mind. But Jeff Kennett, Campbell Newman and Barry O'Farrell also seem obvious candidates. They have also learned that one they support can be excused anything by diverted blame. So "Don't blame Islam for the actions of those radicals." The published letter was only a call for arms to those supporting jihadis, but to the left, it is an excuse note.
When Chinese cash rolled Howard in '07, China went too far. The ALP have long sought support from the communists. Connections were made by Whitlam. There is nothing new about Carr or Dastyari. Both bought and paid for. Allegedly, the Liberals also have similar. Probably among 55 bed wetters.
Fascinating that the Daily Mail extracted that headline from that conversation. It is too kind to call it a mistake. It is a misjudgement of Malcolm Farr proportions. Bolt was right to put the question and Coulter answered it well.
Turnbull's apparent indecisiveness must be personality driven. He keeps options open until well after the time they were viable. He does not temporise. He hesitates. He dithers. He fiddles. Apparently, Nikki likes that. She hates competent leadership. She hates compassion (Abbott and Aborigines). She hates strong women like Credln. If only Nikki had shared her decisiveness with Turnbull, and Turnbull had shared his hesitant direction with Nikki. In private.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Kathy Jackson has not been treated as a whistle blower by the trade union royal commission. She has apparently been loaded by trade union peoples who apparently covered up Thomson's offences. It will be good when #TURC is finished and corrupt trades union officials no longer steal from their unions.
Coal has excellent properties that should be exploited. If anyone tells you different, they are probably paid by AGW hysterics to lie.

Nothing need happen to criticise a conservative government. Ashby had approached LNP people over an alleged sexual abuse involving the former Speaker Slipper. Slipper had had an LNP seat before becoming speaker so as to help secure a corrupt ALP government. Slipper was an ordained Catholic Priest, Traditionalist Anglican Minister and married, having been given the Priest authority through a vatican negotiated deal as a married Traditionalist Anglican Minister, but he was not considered stable by his LNP colleagues who had to tolerate a talentless member rather than a more active, but obstructive one. The corrupt ALP government stonewalled on the allegations until after they had lost government. Slipper did a deal with Ashby privately on the sex abuse issue, but was found corrupt on the abuse of parliamentary privilege issue. Now Ashby is alleging that LNP did not help him in a matter that might have appeared to have been corrupt had they done so. He approached the youngest LNP member and got a referral to Pyne. He claims promises were made. They weren't stupid, but Channel nine sixty minutes is. Meanwhile, it is easy to criticise NSW Premier Baird over comments he would negotiate with Islamic leaders over the auction of an ISIS flag issue. That is exactly what Baird should do. He shouldn't limit basic freedoms so as to kowtow to terrorism. But the Islamic leaders have apparently identified with terrorism and are bringing Islam into disrepute because of it. Baird has to point out to them the direction that is upwards, which the Islamic community deserves.
ICAC are investigating Liberals in NSW but so far have only been able to smear them, not find corruption leading to a conviction. Obeid has apparently been given a free pass on a half billion dollar misappropriation, but the ICAC seem to feel they have something big against the PM's chief of staff involving emails. The emails were cleared of parliamentary privilege and show that the chief of staff of the PM has done nothing wrong. ICAC will continue probing. How the hell can someone steal half a billion dollars and not go to jail? What about those who gave the corrupt one keys to the bank? Is there no corrupt finding for them? What about paying it back? Meanwhile the ABC news at 7pm opens with the extraordinary and wrong claim that Mr Abbot's chief of staff has been caught out by email accepting banned donations. They assert it, they should prove it or apologise. Another extraordinary act of irony is the museum purchasing an 'asylum seeker' wreck for their museum. The bad, murderous ALP policy to be memorialised in culture, a museum director hopes for a hundred years time. But no analysis on a cultural level of the death and waste. Who is to be paid for the wreck? Hopefully not the people smugglers.
When it comes to international issues Obama is world class in being incompetent. But not because there aren't good people willing to advise him on issues. Obama's inability to see straight on Israel can only be because he wilfully fails. Looking at MH17, and again Obama has failed to observe the role of Ukraine in fighting, in the shooting down of the aircraft and the prevention of acquisition of bodies or evidence and breaking their own declared cease fire. Clearly Russia has to answer questions, but Ukraine has hard ones too, and Obama has failed to ask them. The injustice of the justice system is exposed with several cases. A verdict is expected soon regarding Oscar Pistorius. Anything less than a murder conviction would be very unfair. But the case so far has threatened that, with blame being placed on the investigating officer for mishandling evidence, but how much is required? We know who pulled the trigger. We know when. We know how. We have considerable insight as to why. We have seen Pistorius lie and obfuscate and be sick. A pathetic female using abuser in Tostee is claiming he is not guilty over the death of a young woman he had invited into his high rise apartment for sex. He seems to be claiming she jumped for no reason. He also seems to be claiming he is autistic. He is asking to be charged with a lesser charge of manslaughter. In fact, he is amoral. Sarah Monahan has survived pedophile abuse and is now campaigning to out other tv industry pedophiles. May she be successful.

It is the New Harvest Moon, and Cabramatta was loudly, joyfully celebrating. Have some Moon Cake. DNA has determined an insane Polish suspect was Jack the Ripper. A compelling case was made by a writer for an artist a few years back, turns out that artist was merely creepy. Plastic surgery is a new tourist lure, with Australians finding it cheaper to fly overseas and have surgery than to have it locally.

The difference between the new PM and the old PM by their own words
Abbott’s biographers will find that, despite his degrees in law and economics, his years at Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship, and his years in a seminary, he has never aspired to be anything other than decent.Abbott will have to negotiate a hostile small party senate. But he can do that. Abbott was gracious in his acceptance speech, and humble. Rudd was defiant and brittle. Rudd was apparently defending his reputation relative to Gillard. It is to be hoped both Rudd and Gillard serve jail time for their corruption. It is disturbing that the ALP have retained many seats from senior, bad performers. People who lied about bad policy. Expect Jason Clare to become the next leader, or the next following. He isn't any good. But he is younger.
When he made his maiden speech to Parliament on May 31, 1994, Abbott began: “On the corner of Castlereagh and Hunter streets in Sydney stands a monument to mark the site of the first Christian service in Australia. The preacher, the Reverend Richard Johnson, took as his text: ‘’What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me?
“It is just a small stone obelisk hardly noticed by the thousands of passers-by and dwarfed by skyscrapers, yet its message of faith and hope is fundamental to our nation’s success and the key to Australia’s future.
“The congregation at that first service was poorer, sicker, and less trained than any conceivable group of modern Australians, yet there was nothing small about what they were to achieve. Our challenge, 200 years later, is to have hearts that are just as big. So at this opening of my time in parliament, I place on record my deep conviction that, nourished by the past and inspired by our great ideals, there is no limit to what Australia can achieve. Also, I want to record my deep conviction that our Australian story should fill our hearts with pride and our eyes with tears.
“It is a story of the dispossessed and the outcast, redeemed through the innate goodness of humanity - a society challenged by nature, tested by war, enlarged by other cultures and blessed by such peace, prosperity and tolerance that we are now the envy of the Earth.”
When Rudd made his maiden speech four years later, on November 11, 1998, he said bluntly: “Politics is about power.”

Huey had been campaigning to oppose FDR for FDR's second term over a 'new, improved New Deal'. The killing of Long ended that, and the momentum of the populist movement. However, FDR took on board some populist measures. Long's wife and son continued in government. It is possible the assassin did not kill Long, but instead had punched Long, and Long was killed accidentally by bodyguards in crossfire. The 'assassin' was killed too. Long's death was an echo of JFK.
