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.

When the government endorses bigotry.

Scott Morrison supports the ACL





 You will remember Scott Morrison from when he was immigration minister.
He was asked in an ABC interview:

" Three days ago an Indian student took his own life at a detention centre in Melbourne. He was in that centre because he overstayed his visa. Could that have been avoided?"

Scott Morrison smugly answered:

" Could he have avoided overstaying his visa?"


The ACL (Australian "christian" lobby) is a hate group that is for bullying children and against LGBT rights. They are a group of lying, bigoted, hypocritical, anti- constitutional, homophobes.


Scott Morrison attended and spoke at the ACL's annual hate group meeting, despite the fact he is Australia's current treasurer.



Scott Morrison has defended his endorsement at this hate rally by saying:

 "I respect everybody's opinions, I just hope and wish others would do the same,"

 Which is ironic considering he was speaking at the ACL hate group who are against equal rights, children and the Australian constitution.



One of the views he respects is the claim (by Eric Metaxas) that the recognizing of  equal rights is somehow like the rise of the Nazis in Germany. As you will be aware comments like that are extremely offensive as it was the Nazis who were homophobic. With the Nazis persecuting over 50,000 gay people during the Holocaust. For the ACL to associate such victims with their Nazis oppressors is disgusting and an opinion that should not ever be respected.


 To the best of my knowledge Scott Morrison has not been charged, he has not even been disciplined by the Prime Minister. He was promoted to the Treasurer of the Australian government after his behavior as immigration minister, one can only hope that common sense prevails and the PM at least distances himself and his party from this homophobia and bigotry.
