Have we gotten backwards in time in Australia or what? Why are we so behind the times here in Australia? Just look at our outdated laws on opposite-sex marriage, media, trading hours, prositution, lockouts, political donations, abortion and euthonasia laws! We here in Australia need a reformation now! We need to become a Republic now and implement a bill of rights! Royal families are so last century! We need to immediately recognise aboriginals in our constitution. We need to ban revenge porn at a national level, not state level! We need to abolish all state and territory governments! We need to re-introduce the death penalty for terrorism, murder and child molestation! We need to have an athiest, Islamic, female, disabled, Asian, transgender, bisexual, gay and/or aboriginal prime minister now! White, heterosexual Christian men should be completely banned from being a Senator or MP, let alone prime minister!

Why does the writer presume that all Gays are left wing and pro choice?

I think it’s fine to criticise his politics if you disagree with them. He’s a politician, that’s his role. There are good and bad reasons to criticise anyone (hopefully constructively) and as long as it’s his political philosophy and not his sexuality the criticism focuses on it’s quite legit. Hopefully his experience of diversity gives him a dose of realism to go with his right-wing thinking and he’s not an ideologue though.
