Australia: Victoria Labor Left obsessed with LGBT sex
IT’S not as though there is a lack of global problems (65.3 million displaced people, 23 million victims of human trafficking – to mention just two you may ponder) but Australian leftists seem obsessed with sex.
If they’re not throwing themselves on the ground and crying over the inability of homosexuals to access the term “marriage” when homosexual couples already enjoy every other benefit already enjoyed by every other couple in the same relationship – ie, a de facto relationship – they’re embarked on an extraordinary social engineering exercise which denies and defies science.
They are pursuing the legal installation of a systemic lie – that a man can be a woman or vice versa or for that matter be able to nominate the sex descriptor in their birth registration as male, female or specify a gender diverse or non-binary descriptor or provided it is not “obscene or offensive” register as anything else that may occur to them.
In Daniel Andrews’ socialist state of Victoria, the lower house has already passed such a bill more than 150 years since scientists determined the sexual function of chromosomes and established on the basis of biological evidence and subsequent work on DNA recognised the genetic markers identifying the sequences that decide whether a creature is male or female.
Darwin, and other giants of scientific inquiry, would be stunned if they were to learn that a Western government (as petty as the Victorian legislator may be), an inheritor of the Enlightenment legacy, possessed of all of the scientific knowledge that now enables us to meet the genuine challenges of chronic diseases and global food shortages, is turning its back on reality to entertain psychological fantasies.
As Tim Smith, the Victorian State Liberal MP for Kew, told the house during the debate: “This bill really does say some very profound things about the left more broadly in Australia and indeed specifically about what is wrong with the Andrews Labor government — a government that is completely obsessed by identity politics.”
“(The) once great party of Hawke and Keating … has become a party that is obsessed with bleeding heart romanticism and government by feeling not by facts, with a social agenda that is inspired by Marxist activists. It is a party that has become obsessed and influenced by a highly sinister post-modernism and all-pervasive relativism where to even assert a usually uncontroversial truth — that, for instance, gender is not fluid — is seen as at best retrograde and at worst bigoted. “This is a government of high farce and monstrous hypocrisy where if you dare disagree with their at times deeply offensive to mainstream Victorians’ agenda, you are labelled a bigot, a homophobe or worse. This goes for everything from the Safe Schools Coalition — this state will be the only jurisdiction in the country where children will be taught radical gender studies, often against the will of their parents — to being a state where religious bodies cannot choose who they employ and the manner in which they employ them because the government seems to think it knows best.”
The bill united both conservatives and the Women’s Liberation Front, with WLF spokesman Tessa Anne congratulating the Liberal Party for its efforts in opposing this regressive legislation for women and noting that under the Andrews government law males who self-identify as female, but are nonetheless entirely physically male, would become legally indistinguishable from actual female people.
This, she said, would give them the right to access female-only spaces and services such as domestic violence shelters, sports teams, single-sex schools, changing rooms, jobs reserved for women and even female prisons. The implications for women’s privacy, safety and equality are stark.
This point was made by Victorian Liberal MPs Louise Staley, Robert Clarke and Neil Angus, who noted that the bill would void women’s rights to sex-segregated spaces and services under both commonwealth and state equal opportunity legislation but Labor MPs refused to address the issue.
It’s not just the Victorian Labor government which has its heart set on following the Marxist agenda and attacking the traditional and basic social structures such as the family, it’s the federal Labor Party, the Greens and every other left of centre political body.
In a compelling new book, Stealing From A Child: The Injustice of Marriage Equality, Dr David van Gend, the president of the Australian Marriage Forum, has put forward a manifesto in defence of the mother-father-child trinity at the heart of human life.
He acknowledges it will not delight some people.
Indeed, given the hysterical attacks on the Accor hotel group, which was to host a meeting of religious leaders concerned with the very frightening implications for freedom of religion and freedom of speech more generally by the assault on traditional marriage being mounted by the powerful homosexual lobby through bullying in some of the boardrooms of the nation’s leading companies, it is probable Dr van Gend will be vilified and defamed by the commentariat on the ABC and in the Fairfax press.
There will inevitably be a Twitter storm of abuse and attacks on Facebook but it is unlikely there will be much genuine debate on the public airwaves.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten and his deputy Tanya Plibersek have already crossed the threshold of decency by dragging children into the debate.
What is it about the left? Tens of millions of people are struggling to exist and it’s fixated on destroying the traditional family structure, the social edifice which the truly desperate cling to — to stay alive.
