The Country Women’s Association will find the one they bought in the support they now yield to the LGBT+ community will grow – not into a sweet little sausage-dog – but a wolf.
It has Green eyes you see.
Same-sex marriage and transgender rights are conjoined twins and their wet-nurse is Marxist ideology, or totalitarianism.
Moral philosopher Bill Muehlenberg writes ‘gender ideology is an effective statist tool. Cultural Marxists use it to corrupt language and sow confusion, especially among children. It paves the way for the removal of protections for freedom of association and family privacy that stand in the way of regulating interactions among all members of society’.
His quote is from Martha Fineman, a gender legal theorist in the United States and author of The Autonomy Myth, who wants the abolition of state-recognised marriage because it allows for family privacy.
Stella Morabitto, a conservative writer, has an article titled A De-sexed Society Is A Dehumanised Society.
She says ‘President Obama’s (latest) transgender directive is not about civil rights or bathroom use. It’s about state control over personal relationships. As usual, tyranny comes disguised as civil rights to force a transgender bathroom, locker room and dorm policy on the entire nation, starting with school children. What the people behind this won’t tell you is that their project requires you to deny your humanity. What will happen when all society is sexless in both language and law (if) the law does not recognise your body as physically male or female – applying only the word gender to your internal self-reported self perception?’
Readers who can see this is seriously ominus can read her reply to this question of the consequences at law in Bill Muehlenberg’s Culture Watch article Statism and the De-sexed Society.
Back in Victoria under the Andrews regime, all of this is rolling on under the tender care of Roz Ward, who developed the Safe Schools program. ‘Tough luck’ to parents who object, is what she says.
My heart goes out to mothers, grandmothers and wives – long loyal members of the fine Country Women’s Association – who dissent on the grounds of conscience from this wrong decision regarding the LGBT+ movement, who in Australia are nowhere discriminated against in regard to any lawful human right since 2008.

Water is lifeblood
WATER is the lifeblood of Victoria’s regional communities and is critical to our world-class agriculture sector.
But the reshuffle of Labor’s cabinet on Monday, which put water and police under one minister, suggests city-centric Daniel Andrews totally fails to grasp its importance.
To my mind the police portfolio is a formidable responsibility, particularly considering the escalating law and order issues in this state.
Crime in Victoria went up more than eight per cent in the Andrews government’s first year, and the new minister faces a significant challenge with youth gang crime in Melbourne.
The water needs of our regional communities are too important to be relegated to second-rate priorities with a part-time minister.
