Dec 12: Shameful Behaviour By Government

Same-Sex Marriage
The Federal Government shamefully moved to strike down the new ACT laws on Marriage Equality. Today the High Court of Australia rubber-stamped the Government's decision.
MEMO

To: Tony Abbott (Prime Minister of Australia)
CC: George Brandis. (Attorney-General)
From: Roger Powell
Date: 12th December 2013

 re: The Abbott Government's Shameful Attack on the ACT Marriage Equality Laws

Dear Prime Minister,

1. You are heartless and you are gutless. 
2. When you ought to be eliminating discrimination, instead you are entrenching it. 
3. When you told us us you had no time in government to support marriage equality, you instead found time to oppose it. 
4. When you told us you would govern for all Australians, you meant instead that you would govern as certain powerful entrenched institutions directed you to. 
5. When you compare your policy on marriage equality with the Liberal Party Principles on its web site you will immediately be aware that your oppposition to marriage equality is in direct conflict with the Principles you say you stand for.
6. Shame on you.

Regards,

Roger Powell

Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.
