Australia: Labor Leader changes his mind of homosexual marriage vote
The Australian has obtained the video of Mr Shorten addressing the Australian Christian Lobby in his electorate of Maribyrnong, days before the last federal election. At the time, he said he was
"Completely relaxed about having some form of plebiscite. I would rather that the people of Australia could make their view clear on this, than leaving this issue to 150 people."When questioned on the comments today, he said there had been significant social developments since 2013.
"Community attitudes have moved on in Australia, I think that is a demonstrable fact, [and] secondly when you look at the experience in Ireland, over a year ago, some of the arguments which emerged were really ugly and repugnant."
But there are no ugly argument. There are solid biblical arguments against legalizing homosexual arguments. There biological and surrogacy kinship, and children arguments against homosexual marriage. None of these arguments are raised by Shorten as he is simply repeating the LGBT immoral agenda.
"Last July I put a proposition into Parliament that we make marriage equality a reality and that is now the party policy which I took to our national conference in July last year. I'm sure that some people think the plebiscite is the way to go — I no longer have that view."
If Shorten is elected, it is ALP policy to introduce a bill to parliament to legalise immoral homosexual marriage within 100 days of taking office with no protections for clergy, pastors, Christian schools, Christian business people, ministries, and Christian charities - who all view homosexuality as a sin as defined by scripture.
Treasurer Scott Morrison and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop were both asked as to how they would vote on the floor of parliament, and neither explicitly outlined their intentions other than to say they would respect the outcome of the plebiscite. Previously Bishop favoured immoral homosexual marriage.
Assistant PM Ms. Bishop is now playing both sides of the fence like a typical politician "I would take my electorate's views into account, but I would also take into account how the plebiscite played out across Australia because, for example, a referendum gets up if it is the majority of states, majority of people in the majority of states. I would wait until I see the legislation, this is all hypothetical, what we have said is we will have a plebiscite so everybody in Australia can have their say and I support that and I think it is a good idea."
