Treacherous Conservatives

Originally posted by eagle888 ↑

The Conservative right of the liberal Party are demonstrating
their treacherous traits in respect to the same sex marriage issue.

After claiming they would accept the verdict of the people they
even before the outcome is known want to hijack the Bill that
is needed to give effect to SSM should they YES vote prevail.

These people have no mandate if the YES vote gets up!

Its my opinion that the conservative agenda is not only just aimed at
introducing measures to discriminate against the LGBT community
but its also part of the continued sniping and wrecking aimed at Turnbull
personally and also his team. Whatever the faults of the Turnbull govt
the attacks by the fringe conservatives are a disgrace and imo Abbott
has to carry much of the responsibility for what has been happening.

The very public wrecking has been a factor in causing the early failure
of the Turnbull govt.

I don’t know what the outcome of the SSM vote will be, but if it's a
resounding YES vote and the Conservative right continue with their
treachery and introduce a seperate Bill to discriminate against
gay people then voters should judge their treachery very harshly at
the ballot box. The Bill that the conservatives want to try and
pass reportedly could see the ludicrous situation where someone can
be refused the purchase of a meal or some other item because they are
gay or have a gay partner. Such is illegal to to do now but apparently the
conservatives Bill, would try to make such discrimination legal.

Those in Parliament who vote for the conservative Bill will imo be targeted
by both YES voters generally as well as other citizens concerned at the war the
conservatives want to continue against gay people. The LGBT community are
also certainly entitled to do so.

Of course if the YES vote does not get up then no Bill will be presented.

We will know the result tomorrow.

So Am I.

Anything and everything is used to undermine the authority of Mr Turnbull.
Mr Turnbull made promises to the LNP to become its leader.
One of them centred around Mr Abbott's move for a Plebiscite. Mr Abbott hid his bad wishes toward the LGBTI community under the slogan 'Let the People Decide". Mr Turnbull's own view is that the Parliament should decide. I sided with Mr Abbott in good faith because I thought the issue is of such great importance in the daily life of each Australian. Little did I know that this was just another Mr Abbott subterfuge.
I have been calling for Mr Turbull to quietly assert himself tomorrow.

Point out that Mr Patterson SSM bill is a License to Discriminate (YES advocates have warned that a proposed new same-sex marriage law is so full of religious and moral exemptions, it could permit shops to put up signs saying “no gays” and businesses to deny service to straight couples who have sex before marriage.
One advocate has said the new bill, backed chiefly by politicians opposed to same-sex marriage, could see state-sanctioned discrimination harking back to the days of the White Australia policy.)
Have Introduced in the Senate the Mr D Smith SSM bill
