We haven’t seen anything yet. We are at least 3 years behind the US and the ridiculousness coming from there. In terms of political correctness, wokism, identity politics, cancel culture, intersectionality and gender identity.

Basically what JP says haha.
Adopting pseudo-moralistic causes so that they look better to their friends rather than addressing issues in their more personal purview.

Ooh yes and old mate comrade is about to make things a lot worse in this woke state.
I know this as fact that a very well known boys school where teachers were asked by the principal to teach students on this particular day about the 25 or so different genders. The teachers were so annoyed and they said how can we teach when we don’t even know all of them ourselves.
What makes it even more incredible was it was a very well known catholic boys school, not that I think it makes a difference anymore as they are just as bad.
My own experience was completing my masters with kids I’d 10 plus years younger. On one of my final subjects I was told by my lecturer who was younger than me, and I quote. “You will receive extra marks if you elaborate on the gender of the case study couple and include First Nations as that close to
my heart. If you think this is normal, well this was a finance subject so wtf does that have to do with anything. So can you imagine what they are teaching kids in other courses or junior schools.
We are truly stuffed with this woke garbage, initiated by a bunch of people who are the biggest hypocrites themselves.

Dear me. What would the unit chair say if you complained to them?
I'd just tack a sentence on - 'these people were gay Aboriginals too.' and see if she coughs up extra points lol.
Anywho I've had to block a few peeps lately over this trans people competing in pro sports farce.

I didn’t just tack a sentence on mate, I went the full Monty on this and it ended up being my highest grade in the whole course. It makes it even more laughable as it shows how kids are judged in uni these days. I hate to say it, but the future is dim as they are throwing out degrees.
I never really believed it was this intense until this point.

Graduate, degrees etc

My at the time 6yo daughter came home from school telling me what the “yes vote” stood for on same sex marriage and that the teacher was wearing the badge and that it was the way I should vote.
Not a month later, same daughter comes home and tells me it’s ok if she loves boys or girls when she’s older, and that it’s ok if she thinks she’s a little boy …
WTF!!!!
I’m having to explain to a 6yo that she’s a perfectly healthy little girl ..
The system is stuffed

That’s messed up Damo, though not surprising after I saw this last week.

That’s so messed up mate .. words cannot express how bad it is

LMAO relying on crazy Bernie :lol. Not the first time Bernie has been caught making things up regarding what is taught in schools ::).
Here's a copy below of the worksheet to take home that Bernie is freaking out about. Looks like a list of stock standard sex ed. puberty questions and Grade 5 is hardly too young to discuss puberty and the body changes the kids are about to begin experiencing in the next year or two. Better they learn the facts of life properly than goodness knows what from the playground. I know my Mum taught me most of this stuff before Grade 5 and I turned out fine.
There's something wrong with a parent who is unable to discuss this stuff maturely with their 10 year old kid in Grade 5. Then again there's always been something wrong with crazy Bernie :snidegrin. The irony is wanting to prevent kids learning about the reality of life, because conservatives find it "dirty", "offensive" or because it contradicts with what it says in their book of fairytales, is actually just more political correctness :shh.
(https://scontent.fmel7-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/277676840_160106739750799_7394241018272895705_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=CJLmiTq9ZLEAX9DIcqO&_nc_ht=scontent.fmel7-1.fna&oh=00_AT_m52l-mnfKiyKJeo4esH9gvxpZH7EzVdDYz2BRYDyXrg&oe=6263061A)
Heaven forbid kids learn actual real facts about the human body. Of course I won't hear boo that certain religious schools 'teach' 7 year old little girls (as well as the boys in the same classroom) in Grade 2 that when they grow up and have babies it will be painful because it's a punishment by "God" on all womankind all thanks to the first ever woman eating a piece of fruit after listening to a talking snake :facepalm. Yeah that kind of traditional conservative values is perfectly normal :rollin.

Ok groomer.... :shh

From personal experience you grow up faster in the western suburbs :thumbsup. You can't hide away and be ignorant and scared of reality there :nope. Poor Bernie may be an upper house MP for that region but he didn't grow up there (went to school in Colac until Year 10) so he is totally clueless. He is a crazed ultra-religious ignorant old fool and hypocritically wants to "cancel" real life knowledge about the human body because he thinks it's dirty. Hello political correctness! :shh It's not the 1950s anymore Bernie :lol.
-
That Benie is still in parliament and wasn't sacked by Mr Guy after his last outburst is disgraceful
Bernie holds the number 1 position on State Libs Upper House ballot. So he is a local member.
There is so much Bernie has said and NOT done after promising to help constituents the world that people outside of the Westrrn Suburbs don't know about it would make your head spin.
He is a vile human being on so many levels. Please don't hold him up as some sort of moral crusader. He is anything but.

Here come the aggressive lefties :lol
Knew it wouldn’t take long.
Out of curiosity do you have kids at school? If you do good for you by all means sit down and teach your 6 year old about your erections, or other weird poo the failing education system tells you to. For the rest of the participants on here we won’t be.
No wonder our eduction system is stuffed.

Aggressive Leftie? Give me a break. If calling out a vile hypocrite who preaches one thing and does the opposite makes me aggressive and a leftie then I'll cop that.
If you chose to use Bernie as some sort of high moral ground campaigner to make a point then go for it. Be careful though you might want to research some of his other gems before you align yourself with Bernie's views.
You do know he stood up in parliament and bagged the RFC for introducing an Indigenous guernsey for
Dreamtime. :wallywink
As I said he says alot and does very little unless of course it benefits Bernie

No I don't have kids at school. BTW Bernie's rant mentioned a 10 y.o. not a 6 y.o. but i digress.
You are suggesting that this stuff is suddenly getting taught in schools now. I finished high school in 1984. When I went to school it was called "Sex Education". Did it suddenly drop off the circulum for 40 years?
FWIW my view is and has always been that as a parent you have the right to to teach your kids about life, puberty et al how you see fit.
Ok groomer.... :shh
:lol
You think calling someone a groomer is funny?
The original comment was pathetic and uncalled for
You laughing at it on par and says alot

Confronting but the sooner you have these convos with kids the better before it's too awkward for them.
Not saying I agree with the content either.

WP - no it didn’t drop off the curriculum
But it’s a silly comparison.. what is being taught now is totally different and at a younger age .. a much younger age ..
The world as we knew it is gone

I really hope the left keep doubling down on this insane crap ..because it will be the hill they finally die on and good stuffing riddance... ...:shh

Is it really that silly? Granted it is being taught at a younger age. But what we were taught and shown as part of the curriculum was consider shocking for it's time. What I was shown at age 1112 (year 7) outraged parents at the time and I'd go as far as to suggest it would still shock parents today.
The world as we knew it is gone
With respect Damo, it has been for a long time now

The onset of puberty is also occurring now at a much younger age.
On average, girls begin puberty around age 10-11 and boys start at age 11-12 (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2010; Mensah et al., 2013). However, the timing of puberty varies by 4 to 5 years among healthy children, with the normal ages ranging from 8-13 years for girls and 9-14 for boys (Mensah et al., 2013).

Every generation says the world as they knew it has gone as they get older because it has! Life and culture aren't stagnant. It continually evolves whether one likes it or not.

sorry I didn't realise it was communist China. I will continue to post what I like when I want. Perhaps you should stop being a hypocrite WP, and look around. As for old mate Bernie, I personally don't gaf, nor have seen what he said in parliament in this thread. If you do, then you can mention it in the Australian politics or aboriginal dreamtime thread.
Not that I am religious at all, unless you call going to a church 5 times in 10 years, but I do laugh at the constant religion bashing of ONE type. Typical lefyty mentality that rarely mentions any of the other ones, like the great book of Quran. Should we digest their "fanciful" views on current topis in this thread? I bet if those comments were on the Bachar Houli thread it would be deleted :shh
The question I asked was do you have kids at school?
Its an opinion based topic and my opinion is stick to your own kids, if you have them, and not flout around depraved ideas as if its the panacea for everyone. Every family is different. My kids are at school to learn and to be better people, and last time I checked not to learn how they can choose to be a man, female or whatever, or be taught how to go home and ask your dad to teach you about erections. FFS my daughters teacher said to her recently go ask your dad to tell you what a dick is. No penis word used cause that would be rude, just dick. Next week she will ask her to go home and ask mum to explain what a idiot is. Nothing wrong with my education, and now you get handed a degree if you wave a rainbow flag.
Graduate, degrees etc

Claims VCE external examiners show an ‘utterly pervasive bias’ towards socially progressive topics
Year 12 students are rewarded with higher marks for following a politically correct agenda and using gender-neutral language, according to claims.
VCE students are given high marks for following a left-wing politically correct agenda, conservative commentators claim.
Exam markers are biased towards socially progressive topics such as gender-neutral language, feminism and postmodernism, long-time English tutor and author Dr Mark Lopez said.
He said the 2021 VCE external examiners’ analysis, widely disseminated to teachers to guide their classroom and exam preparation, shows an “utterly pervasive bias”.
In the English Language exam, a student was given high marks for praising a Victorian Government inclusive language guide that pans terms such as husband and wife.
English tutor and author Dr Mark Lopez says VCE exam markers are biased.
The student also lauded the government’s use of the “gender neutral compound chest-feeding lactating parent” which was enshrined in a workplace agreement.
In other answers in the subject, students they were praised for being positive about changes made to the national anthem and for acknowledging that federation created a society that “primarily benefited white males”.
Dr Lopez, the author of the book School Sucks: A Report on the State of Education in the Politically Correct Era, said the “prevalence of this politically correct, left-wing bias in assessment also raises the question of how many deserving students fall short of receiving the grades they need to enter the university course of their choice”.
“This ideological bias is unjust and unfair. It can and does hurt young people. It is important to remember that young people with conservative or liberal views have feelings too,” he said.
One student was given high marks for praising a Victorian Government inclusive language guide.
Feedback on the English exam, which was done by 40,000 students, shows a high-scoring student concluded that gender roles “create a greater disadvantage for women”. Another
student was praised for highlighting the “brutality” of the “misguided Western mindset”.
The examiner’s report from the Australian History exam shows one high-scoring response praised Aboriginal land-management practices while another student agreed that Federation “created a society that primarily benefited white males”.
In Sociology, one student was praised for calling the change of the national anthem from young and free to one and free a “significant tweak [acknowledging] the country’s ancient past”.
Other high-scoring responses talked about the success of marriage equality and praised a Facebook group for females or those who “essentially identify as ‘a woman’”.
Dr Bella d’Abrera, director of the Foundations of Western Civilisation Program at the Institute of Public Affairs, said parents “should be very concerned that their children are being turned into activists for left-wing political causes by the Victorian Education Department”.
“This is a travesty for both the students and their educational outcomes. Students should be marked for their competence in the English language, rather than their ability to parrot woke ideologue,” Dr d’brera said.
A Department of Education spokeswoman said: “VCE exams – particularly in studies like English Language – assess students’ ability to respond with critical and compelling arguments to texts on real world issues, some of which cover social progress”.“Students are never required to support any particular viewpoint – they are analysing linguistic and persuasive techniques used in a range of texts,” she said.

I have read the above 3 times and for parts of it I have absolutely no idea what you going on about
My first reaction is did you read ALL of my reply? Not just the first bit but ALL of it?
If you did you would not have asked this
The question I asked was do you have kids at school?
If you had read my post you would know I said:
No I don't have kids at school.
So just in case you missed it I'll repeat it for you
No; I don't have kids at school. Clear?
You can post what you like whenever you want as long as it is within the rules. Who said you couldn't? I certainly didn't in my post.
"Communist China"? No idea where that came from or why you've included it. :help
I also have no idea why you've bought in religion. I didn't but for reasons only you can explain you did. What's religion got to do with it?
You call me hypocrite for what exactly? Calling out a pollie in this case Bernie for what he is.
You suggest I post Bernie's other feats on the politics thread or dreamtime but you are the one that linked to Bernie's you tube page to this thread to make your point. All I did was suggest if you are going to hang your hat on anything Bernie's says you'd might want to reconsider and research his history.
If you'd like to know some of his handy work with regarding "helping" his constituents drop me a PM.
Finally re this:
Its an opinion based topic and my opinion is stick to your own kids, if you have them, and not flout around depraved ideas as if its the panacea for everyone. Every family is different. My kids are at school to learn and to be better people, and last time I checked not to learn how they can choose to be a man, female or whatever, or be taught how to go home and ask your dad to teach you about erections.
Firstly, you are entitled to your opinion as we all are. Secondly, I did not at any time "flout around depraved ideas". Show me where I did. And that means clearly showing it not twisting a sentence to suit your purpose.
You are correct "every family is different" and your reasoning for your kids being at school is the absolute right one. I wish more people had that view TBH.
Which leads me to my final comment which is actually what I said in my original post which you either didn't bother to read or have ignored to suit your need to give me a whack
I said:
FWIW my view is and has always been that as a parent you have the right to to teach your kids about life, puberty et al how you see fit.
Clear enough for you

What did he say that was so bad WP? Sorry but I don’t have a herald Sun subscription.
Is he against abortion? I’m not trying to start a debate or anything I actually am interested in what he has said that is so bad in your opinion and the nature of the why he is getting booted from the libs.
[(caveat) I’m pro life too and I personally don’t think a baby should be terminated for any reason as that is because of my strong religious beliefs]

Yes he is very much anti-abortion which is his choice. He said he was looking forward to the US Supreme Court reversing "Roe -v- Wade", common sense he called it
But the comment that has angered people and will finally get him kicked out of his party and hopefully parliament in November related to rape victims
He was asked about abortion and rape victims and if he supported abortion for victims of rape. He said no because a child should not die because of the SINS of their parents
Nor sure how a woman being raped is a sin. Pro-life or Pro-abortion it was a disgraceful thing to say. But standard for Bernie
Tigeritis, if you read my posts about Bernie you will see I am not a fan. He is simply a vile person and it has nothing to do with his religious beliefs. Although the fact Bernie cannot or refuses to separate religion from his role as a politician is just another example of why I have zero respect for the man.

Is he against abortion? I’m not trying to start a debate or anything I actually am interested in what he has said that is so bad in your opinion and the nature of the why he is getting booted from the libs.
[(caveat) I’m pro life too and I personally don’t think a baby should be terminated for any reason as that is because of my strong religious beliefs]
Yes he is very much anti-abortion which is his choice. He said he was looking forward to the US Supreme Court reversing "Roe -v- Wade", common sense he called it
But the comment that has angered people and will finally get him kicked out of his party and hopefully parliament in November related to rape victims
He was asked about abortion and rape victims and if he supported abortion for victims of rape. He said no because a child should not die because of the SINS of their parents
Nor sure how a woman being raped is a sin. Pro-life or Pro-abortion it was a disgraceful thing to say. But standard for Bernie
Tigeritis, if you read my posts about Bernie you will see I am not a fan. He is simply a vile person and it has nothing to do with his religious beliefs. Although the fact Bernie cannot or refuses to separate religion from his role as a politician is just another example of why I have zero respect for the man.
Thanks WP. I appreciate your reply.
I personally had no clue about Bernie at all and have not paid much attention to local politics for some time. I guess it’s time I made more effort on that front.
In terms of the offensive statement that you quoted
“a child should not die because of the SINS of their parents”
It would’ve been more appropriate or less offensive if he said sins of the father.
It’s an extremely contentious subject for many.
If only that was the sole criteria for termination.
Unfortunately it caters for only a tiny minuscule percentage of overall cases. I can only thank God that someone very close to me didn’t fall victim of that emotionally difficult decision due to the heinous crimes of another.
Thanks again for your reply.

I dont think thats how he meant it as this was also mentioned by him.
"Kill the rapist, don't kill the baby. It's not the baby's fault," Finn said.
"It's not the mother's fault, it's not the baby's fault, it is the rapist's fault."

You're entitled to believe he didn't mean it but he also said he was praying for abortion to banned in this State ....
IMV he very much meant it; that being there is no reason for anyone to have an abortion, abortion is wrong and it should be banned
Doesn't matter now. He's been kicked out of the Liberal Party. Will now sit on the crossbench until November where all things being equal will be kicked out of Parliament all together.

well without looking into it, i need to see the facts of what the bill is.
are we talking about mothers who had a fling and or were raped and decide to abort after the baby is born or just before?
what are the facts WP as i really dont know.
He has a right to his opinion, rightly or wrongly, just like MT has a right to call anyone who believes in religion ( jews, muslim cough cough, the catholic stooges or whatever) fruitloops who believe in fantasies.
same poo to me.
Can see how people get offended as it is a womans right, but i wouldnt like a baby being aborted over a one night stand at full term or after x months (if thats the case here). The rape part is wrong and should always be left to the woman who is traumatized IMO. Sad for the child but there are no winners lets be honest.

What Bill Frankie? The current law in this state is that that a women can chose to have an abortion. There are no restrictions.
Bernie is opposed to abortion no matter what the circumstance.
Yes he is entitled to his opinion but as a politician he has a responsibility to keep his religious views out of politics. Time and time again he has failed to do that.
He is just a vile human being who uses his religious convictions to justify his hateful rhetoric (just my opinion of course)

I was talking about the USA law that was changed or is changing. What is that all about?
Regarding Finn, i see someone who has made an opinion, which was corrected to state rapists should get killed and babies shouldnt. He seems to be partially right, and his wording should have been better.
Quite frankly i couldnt give a stuff. Unless you have been living under a rock there have been others making stupid calls and comments over the last few years that have no basis as fact and merely opinion based. Finn makes a call on what he thinks is right. Does it affect anyones life? Nope. Does it affect his. Yes which is why is no longer.
Who cares.

The law in the USA which came from the case "Roe-v- Wade" in the 1973 grave women the right to have an abortion without government interference Prior to that abortion was illegal in some states or was only legal with government approval
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade
Currently there is some other case going on in the US, which I know little about but depending on its outcome a leaked report suggest that "Roe-v- Wade" decision maybe revoked by the US Supreme Court.
That leaked report is what Bernie is so excited about

Collectively freaking out about some random single video but not repeated massacres of little schoolkids. Welcome to American political conservatism :whistle
When British press wants to argue about our God-given American gun rights, my answer is: “go back to your own country.”

With members of the House ‘Freedom Caucus’ looking on, Marge Greene calls on the 14 Republican Senators who voted for the gun bill to be voted out of office.
https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1539710957424988162
The US supreme court has this morning expanded Americans' gun rights in a historic and controversial decision. It means residents of New York will no longer need to justify carrying a concealed gun outside their homes. A judgement that could impact many other states.
https://twitter.com/7NewsMelbourne/status/1540156431499857920
Of course, these Republican pollies opposed to gun reform are the same nutters who think it's normal to take Christmas snaps of their whole family holding automatic weapons.

Well Bernie will be partying and has already posted on Socials his joy
The US Supreme Court has struck out Roe -v- Wade. Which means the States determine if abortion is legal.
Since the release of the decision about 10 hours ago. At least 14 States have banned abortion for any reason
The Ring Wing Stacked Supreme Court have voted 6 to 3 in favour of over turning. The same Supreme Court that has no problem with people concealing guns.
An incredibly sad day for women across the USA.
-
The yanks are stuffed in the head
-
Sad day? You watch too much TV WP.
Is the USA the only country in the world that has such a law? :shh
Italy and Germany have very strict rules so I don’t remember seeing much outrage at those 2.
All this will do is make girls zip over to another state for an abortion.
I’ve had a look at our abortion rules and I feel WA has the best rules in play as it strikes a nice balance. That said not sure anyone has a right to question what a girl does if she was raped or if the foetus has a condition.

Well that’s not Politically correct to mention “women” anymore WP.
The correct term now is “Birthing Parent”. :rollin
Because apparently “they” they have previously told us that a “man” can have babies too. :rollin
If you take time to read the reasons the Supreme Court ruling then you will find why each judge that ruled on their reasons they found no constitutional right to abortion under the US constitution. By reading each ruling you can clearly see the reasons for the decision including dissenting views in relation to the constitution.
They all give a summation of why they either concur or dissent.
As you read you can clearly see which make the best explanations in terms of upholding constitutional freedoms.
As you said, these decisions return to the states to decide which is the exact same thing we have in Australia.
The people elect candidates that they want to govern in their state and bring in laws that the people want.
If you don’t like the laws of that state you can leave or lobby to get your preferred candidate elected and rally with likeminded people to do the same.
It’s called democratic process and IMO no one does it better than the US.
Now that the Supreme Court has overruled Roe v Wade, the people have been given back sovereignty and can choose to vote in the place they live candidates that will bring laws that align with their own personal convictions.
Personally, as a Christian I am against abortion. When I vote in this country I choose which candidates best aligns with all my personal opinions in my electorate. I think you would do the same when choosing your preferred candidate.
It’s the best form of democracy the people decide on laws which suit the majority in that state.

Below is a snap shot on the Abortion laws in WA. Seems like every state does what it wants here?
Women who seek an abortion after 20 weeks must face an “ethics panel” consisting of six medical practitioners, two of whom must agree that either the mother or fetus has a severe medical condition that justifies the procedure.
This has led to women being forced to travel interstate to have the procedure carried out safely.
So one would presume there were people protesting here about rights last week/year/last decade?
-
The non-binary brigade are starting to chime in now :help
It’s gonna be a free for all and there’s no stopping it.
It’s already going full throttle in US, Canada, Britain especially Scotland with “hate speech” codified.
Once the T’s and non-G’s in this country start realising that they have more than just the sjw’s and those looking to gain traction by virtue signalling every chance they get (ie. Whateley, anyone from the project), they will be the loudest voices in the country.
I always find it funny how equality is now called equity and means equal outcome but only for the professions that are sexy.
Let’s see if bricky’s will ever have to deal with issues of equity in their industry. Maybe all of the blokes start identifying as women and then men will be the oppressed :rollin

Seriously don't get the obsession with this stuff. Outside this thread and the 'noise' from the usual reactionaries in the public arena, I don't see or hear it in any of the circles I move in. Then again I don't follow and believe everything the Murdoch media, shockjock radio and social/religious political conservatives say is happening :shh.
Thankfully in Australia, Murdoch is losing his influence and we are becoming majority non-religious :thumbsup. Morrison was a close shave. So when in government he told the public to trust him and supported the UN but now he's been thrown out we're not to trust any government nor support the UN :facepalm :lol. What a fraud and religious fringe nutter! Good riddance!

I get it at work lol.
Get this.
We have an organisational guideline on what information we should include in our email signature. So I have my job title and department etc, contact number.
Anyway one of the things we 'should have' is our gender pronouns and we have the option of that rainbow for that big extended gay group etc etc.
Needless to say I don't bother with any of the political statement rubbish and just stick to my contact details etc. Work is work ffs not a platform for ideologies and I don't want to be told to express myself in that way.

MT must be living under a rock :lol
Yes Andy I have heard that from quite a few people but not in my industry, and doubt I ever will for many years.
In NY at the moment and if you want to see rainbows Andy pop over here my friend. I don’t give a poo personally but some of things here are funny. If I knew how to post pictures I would. I too have started to place these odd things on consent forms. Pretty sure on the census form I noted that I identified as something that wasn’t a male. A stupid question will get a stupid reply from me.
Speaking of old mate Murdoch who MT is infatuated with. I was chatting to security on the corner of fox building here on 6th, not far where I am staying and he said to me and I quote “I get abused daily for working for a racist and homophobe by get this “only white” people. He was black, and never had an issue with anyone except these lunatics. :lol :lol :lol
You can’t make this poo up if you tried.
One thing on Murdoch or whoever is infatuated with them, they probably read more of their articles than any of the rest of us. Credlin bolt, Murdoch they seem to know a lot about what they publish or report. hahahaha

Exactly, it should be a choice. We've always had to nominate pronouns even in the "old days" - Dr. Mr. Mrs. Miss. Ms. It's not something new to freak out about. Just need listed all the options relevant to the population now days. Everything is done digitally. It's not that hard.
ps. LOL @ Frankie trying to claim only "white" Americans can't stand the Murdoch media :lol.

Just stating the facts of what I was told. Anyone can pluck a photo on the internet to justify anything. Were they activists, ex workers, political or just people who are freely not approving of the media. Anyways more whites in that picture clearly they have the bigger issue with Murdoch press based on racism.
Most black Americans wouldn’t even know what Murdoch is or care just like this worker.

Your a smart cookie MT but you believe anything you read? and that’s in the context of potting what the Murdoch media says. :rollin
How about you quote what he said and find the context of what he said and why he said it. I think you’ll find that in context he meant something completely different to what you think he meant by what “the media” wanted you to think he meant.
In terms of what’s coming in the woke gender space you haven’t seen anything yet. Just read the latest from work safe Victoria on gendered violence :rollin
Once the schools get hold of this crap good luck if your got children that’s all I’m going to say.

I listened to what he actually said which was actually more embarrassing than what even the media reported :help. Don't trust government and put your faith in the 'Lord' to provide .... ohhhh just ignore that Morrison in government handed half a million dollars in Jobkeeper to Court's church where he was giving this 'sermon' at and on top of the near $650,000 in government grants ::). Then there's the tens of millions of dollars of federal government money handed to Hillsong under Morrison's watch. I must have missed in the Gospels where the Lord said build up a wealthy property portfolio courtesy of the taxpayer :whistle.
Then there was his nonsense trying to link anxiety to "Satan's plan". Yeah, better tell those with terminal cancer, Alzheimer's, MND, etc not to worry, eh Scotty! :facepalm. Or how about Ukrainians (mostly Christians) being bombed and killed thanks to Putin's attempted genocide supported by the Russian Orthodox Church. I guess the Ukrainians shouldn't worry either or even better should have prayed harder so they weren't invaded in the first place ::). What a fundamentalist nutter totally out of touch with reality!
It's all just convenient cherry picking. Give credit to some unseen 'higher power' if something fortunate happens in life while ignoring blame to this 'higher power' or blame another unseen mythical being called "Satan" when things don't work out or worse terrible things happen out of anyone's control. Didn't Morrison's evangelist mates all pray hard for him to win the election .... oops! :lol
In terms of what’s coming in the woke gender space you haven’t seen anything yet. Just read the latest from work safe Victoria on gendered violence :rollin
Gender violence isn't just about LGBTI+ people. Most of it is focussed on preventing sexual harassment and violence especially towards women at work. Don't see the issue nor what's funny about it.

Once the schools get hold of this crap good luck if your got children that’s all I’m going to say.
Yeah, kids were so much safer in the old days being taught by certain pedophile clergy.
Yes, we should go back to the old ways of teaching kids that the universe and mankind was "created" in just 6 days despite the Webb telescope just recently showing an image of space from 13 billion years ago (9 billion years before the Earth was formed and despite modern humans only existing on Earth for the past 300 thousand years or so).
Or how about the old ways of teaching little girls that when they grow up and have babies that it will be a painful childbirth because 'God' has punished all womankind for the first woman eating a piece of fruit after listening to a talking snake.
Yeah, kids were and would be so much better off having their brains filled with that ancient mystical nonsense! :help

Can anyone enlighten me why the AFL is referring terms that existed post colonisation and reverting to an aboriginal abbreviation in the first instance.
Two examples;
1. AFL referring to Melbourne football club as "Narrm (Melbourne)"
2. Freemantle football club being referred to as solely Walyalup
Whilst I can understand the logic to change things that existed pre colonisation so as if the white man never came, I struggle to understand the name change for post colonisation things

They do it for indigenous rounds in both the AFL and AFLW
The past 2 weeks has been indigenous rounds across the AFLW
It is the Club's choice whether they use the indigenous names
