Don't give up on hope. Malcolm Turnbull's Liberals have shot themselves in the foot. We know that the unions are corrupt and too close to the ALP. We also know that corruption has prevented the federal police on acting .. because of bad legislation inserted into work practices by the ALP. New legislation allowed a raid on AWU and that was entirely predictable. However, ALP repeatedly claimed in parliament that the Turnbull Government had foreknowledge of the police raid. Minister Cash repeatedly denied it, and then apologised, admitting that a staff member had had knowledge, and the staff member has resigned. Meanwhile, the AWU are desperate to prevent the police looking at seized documents. The developments are interesting, as the two worst party leaders in recent history might not survive politically. Does Shorten have the poison chalice to keep and use? Or will it be taken from him? Can incontinent Liberals hold it for another night?
SSM advocate made an interesting claim that Marriages and Civil Unions were not treated equally by the law, because Marriages and De Facto relationships were treated differently. A De Facto relationship does not have a contract. A civil union does have a contract. The law is blind as regards religion, which is why SSM is a vexing issue. As a conservative, I'd be happy if the state were to stop regulating marriage and protect churches which act on conscience. But many churches are extreme left wing and don't care about issues, but sides. The Australian government is not promising to protect churches, but asking the public to trust the government. It is an awful sales pitch. I have voted 'no' because the proposal is awful, although I'm sympathetic to the cause.
LA Dodgers go one up against Astros after a quick World Series game one. Astros pitcher Keuchel pitched well, but got tagged for two homers providing all three runs to LAD. Still anyone's series, but rumour has it Hillary Clinton congratulated LAD on their series win.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...
