[csaa-forum] FW: ::fibreculture:: The politics of emotion /Aspirations in the suburbs

[Diane Powell]

But they are likely to bargain for a ban on abortion and partnership
(marriage) rights for gays, among other things, and seem to have a
narrow definition of 'family'.
Haven't been following the thread so apologies if these issues have
already been raised.

Have people forgotten Magna Carta? What an absurd result.

And yet, news today that the Family First party might use an apology to
the stolen generations as a bargaining chip against the Government.
(also, check out their website for their policy on Iraq, which is more
complex that you might imagine.)

If FF's effect is that people begin to think about things morally, then
all is not lost; some more people mind find it in their hearts to find
our national refugee policy offensive.

Stranger things have happened than a Greens-FF preference deal at the
next election, and I reckon its not impossible. To use a biblical
metaphor, the lion laying down with the lamb, etc.

Family First favour saying sorry
