Its trash day: Pauline Hanson

Its trash day:

Pauline Hanson


 Anyone who has even a passing interest in Australian politics would know who Pauline Hanson is and the outrageously unintelligent things she has said.





 She and her far right political party called One Nation, is well know for her dislike of multiculturalism and disdain for refugees.



 Pauline's political party has called for gays to be bashed and she herself has said many homophobic things.

 She doesn't appear to like science very much and her prejudice has lead to her disliking the idea of LGBT people providing safe and caring homes for children.


 Her views could well be argued to be both undemocratic and unconstitutional.

She is well known for her racist views against Asians.

  And her views on Australian Aboriginals are seen by most decent folk to be racist.

 

 Pauline is also very against Muslims but due to her ignorance i am not even sure she knows what she is talking about. I think (Its apparently disputed) being Muslim means you follow the religion of Islam, So her views on Muslims (alone) don't make her racist, they make her an Islamophobic bigot who happens to coincidentally be a homophobic racist.




 But given all that it is her video directly after the Orlando hate crime terror attack that has really upset common sense Australians. In this video she blames Muslims and Isil (Daesh) for the homophobic attack. She does not mention the victims were gay, she does not mention that it was at a gay club, that it took place during pride.   Worst of all she blames Islam alone and not Homophobia, she doesn't even mention homophobia. 
 The cause of this hate crime was homophobia, Islam is just another excuse that some bigots use to justify their existing homophobia. Dealing with homophobia will help eliminate all hate crimes no matter what the excuse or attempted justification.
 But of course Pauline cant really admit that homophobia is the problem because she herself is an advocate for homophobia. 

 Instead she uses the deaths of a group of people that she herself has vilified for her own political gain. That is why she is rubbish!

Don't forget Malcolm Turnbull has declared that Australia now has zero tolerance for homophobia. He claims that homophobia is to be condemned everywhere, and yet Pauline Hanson and her One Nation party continue. 
 Just looking at the One Nation website they still to this day incorrectly claim marriage equality will allow children as young as nine to marry, they claim making the laws secular and constitutional will somehow lead to Islamic law in Australia.  
 They are for a referendum or plebiscite which is costly, will have negative effects on LGBT people and is unnecessary. They want this vote to only pass if all states and territorys have a majority yes vote. 
 They try to use the constitution that says our politicians can change the marriage laws (as Howard did in 2004) as a reason that politicians can not change the marriage laws. They fail to mention that the current marriage laws are unconstitutional. 
 They rant on and on about how politicians shouldn't have the right to do the job we elected them for, and call marriage equality 'clap trap'. 


  Have some fun with Pauline Hanson and please share your fun with me on social media.

Its trash day: Scott Morrison

Its trash day:

Scott Morrison


 Scott Morrison (ScoMo) is a Liberal party (far right wing extremist) politician. 


 He was Australia's immigration minister for a time and was often criticized for his draconian treatment of refuges. 


 His actions during this time were believed by many to violate the Refugee Convention. His seemingly indefinite imprisonment of child refuges was seen my many to be unconscionable.


 In an astounding move Scot Morrison was not held accountable for his actions but instead the welfare of vulnerable Australians was placed in his hands as he became Minister for Social Services. Later he would be rewarded with the role of Treasurer which he still amazingly holds today.


You may remember that ScoMo attended the ACL gay-hate rally, and said he respected their horrific homophobic views. 



  Now in a show of complete ignorance of the issues facing LGBT Australians he has claimed he knows how the LGBT community feels because he has faced similar bigotry. 


  A straight, christian, white, wealthy male, claiming to know how homophobia feels, claiming to have suffered hate speech. It is disgusting that he can hold such a position in our government and seemingly not have a shred of empathy.

 No Scott Morrison doesn't face the same bigotry, he has the right to marry, he can safely show affection to his partner without the fear of being bashed or murdered. He has no fear of letting slip his partners gender as it wont negatively effect how companies, employers or acquaintances treat him.  
  He certainly doesn't have organizations whose sole purpose is to lobby against him having equal rights. He doesn't have politicians arguing that he shouldn't have the same rights as them. 
 He cant know the fear that some homophobe with a gun will go into his local ScMo pub and murder 49 ScoMos. 
 He has no idea how it feels to face such bigotry. That he claims to shows that he is incredibly out of touch with the effects of the bigotry that he himself promotes.



 Malcolm Turnbull claims that Australia now has zero tolerance for homophobia, and yet Scott Morrison remains Treasurer. He claimed that the 'debate' leading up to a plebiscite allowing gay people equal rights would be respectful, despite the escalating examples of disrespect, vilification and hate speech against the vulnerable LGBT community..

 Here is a link that will help you contact Scott Morrison and respectfully ask him to educate himself or politely ask him to step down.
Contact ScoMo

Even if you think ScoMo has faced 'discrimination' due to his actions, there is still one major difference. He chooses how he treats others, while homosexuals are born homosexual.
