Evil Political Rhetoric
Can someone fill me in on whether this is causing a shit storm back in Australia.
I fucking hope so!
No wait, it is okay. Howard is being pro-marriage, not anti-gay.
I'd hate for my relationship to be recognised in the eyes of national policy if it meant that our understanding of marriage as a hetrosexual practice was challenged.
He has such a way with words.
Don't hate me, I'm not anti-Howard, I am just pro-human-decency.

No, for the most part it is attracting only minor attention. You know we are a nation of apathists (is there such a word? Ah well... I can't be bothered looking it up to see)
However... though J.H.'s position is nonsensical, in almost all jurisdictions / areas / arenas in Australia defactos (same sex or otherwise) have most of the same rights that married heteros have anyway.
Does it really matter that he is a hypocritical phobe?
We can hardly have "most of the same rights that married hereros have" if the "Prime Minister" can pull a stunt like this.
I thought the whole point of the ACT's legislation was to bring us up to speed with the breeders. Then I am only getting me info from the net.
I agree that the Federal system is the one we want to crack but I think (and obviously ol' fish face does too) that if the states and territories can chip away from below soon the "Liberals" won't have a wooden leg to stand on.
