Australia's New Same-Sex Marriage TV Ads Have All Been Done Before

SAYING THIS AD LIES IS A LIE

Journalists and same-sex marriage activists claim the ad for the no campaign tells lies. But that is the real lie - and proof that the yes-campaign bullies just won't argue on the facts. What's more, the threats to the women in the ad disgrace the cause. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

31 Aug
" Mark Twain once noted that, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.”

 Bolt actually puts on a performance that all been done before as far back as 2004  in Massachusets and again in 2008 in California. The same was said back then 13 and 9 years later what they threatened hasn't occurred and all the sociological studies done in Boston, in fact, showed children of same sex couples over that period of time were faring better than children of heterosexual couples on average. That there was a higher rate of child dysfunction among the children heterosexual couples. Bolt is doing what he does best is lying and simply batting for his ultra conservative team lead by the ACL  and in doing so telling gay kids they aren't normal and causing them harm. Does he give a shit no and that's what makes him the worst of Australians? Yes, he has no qualms about who he harms or what a Goebellian asshole he is.

"ad — titled Everything To Do With Schools — again featured concerned parents, this time from Massachusetts, which became the first American state to legalise same-sex marriage, in 2004. "
Like the "no" ad in Australia, the narrator insists that same-sex marriage will lead to a change in the school curriculum."

But the talk about schools, the concerned parents, the confusion, the back and forth — it's all been seen before, in TV ads that ran during California's ballot on same-sex marriage in 2008.

Why are they running a campaign that has nothing to do with the vote after all Victoria is running a safe schools program despite the vote. The program has nothing to do with marriage equality. But it seems if your right wing and can't come up with anything new you repeat other peoples programs because it's all you've got which in reality is harming kids. The "yes program should just let them bury themselves.

The video features women calling "bullshit" on a number of claims made by mothers in the original ad, including the idea that school classes on gay relationships have become "compulsory" in countries where same-sex marriage laws have passed.Related Articles Principal denies mum's TV claim that son could wear dress

  Informed Data

Data from Australia’s longest-running lifestyle survey shows an overwhelming tide of support for the rights of same-sex couples within Australian society.

NOT THE PRINCIPLE BUT THE SIDE: WHY MUSLIM LEADERS ARE QUIET ON GAY MARRIAGE

 Muslim leaders shut up about gay marriage: "Ali Kadri, spokesman for ... the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, said his community was stuck with the choice of offending allies or siding with critics, and the result had been silence. 'We are afraid if we come out with our opinion then the left may abandon us for going against their view.'"

  Bolt couldn't possibly seen to have Muslims for allies, can he?  So he lies in stead. He's an avid ABC watcher particularly the Drum but he refuses to acknowledge that very question because it might just seem that Muslims support him. All he has to do he will find articles on the matter on ABC digital as well. What can't be helped is News Corp hasn't reported anything and not that Muslims have "shut up" or migrants for that matter.

What is poignant however the Australians Bolt seems to think support him, those born here, are the highest proportion of probable "yes " voters. Bolt, however, has no trouble offending his allies Muslims, why ? Because he hates them. Yet he's also telling us how brave they are compared to the Christian cowards who ignore him. Bolt, in doing that wants war to establish a Christian Caliphate in Australia and in the meantime has no trouble in scaring the children of LGBTIQ couples and young LGBTIs. He is the Christian equivalent of ISIS a jihadi recruiter. Of course, Andrew Bolt won't be seen in a public stoush, will he?

  

JULIE BISHOP GOES NUTS, HELPS GET NZ LABOUR ELECTED

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop three weeks ago claimed she'd find it "very hard to build trust" with a New Zealand Labour Government after Barnaby Joyce was exposed as a dual citizen. Her wild reaction and Labour leader Jacinda Ardern's cool response has helped Labour to its first poll lead over the Nationals in 12 years, just before the election.

 What a load of codswallop Bolt put's out he spent so much time convincing us Trump was voted in by the American people in true Democratic fashion it was impossible for Russia to have had any influence on the minds of the voters. Not so the sheep loving NZers it seems they like the sheep they love have been totally spooked not by Putin but Julie Bishop. Remember when ex Conservative PM James Bolger treated Bolt like the Child he was on the ABC film Recognition Yes or No. Bolger almost patted Bolt on the head and simply ignored the naive boy. Bott was into being the king sophist and debator telling Bolger he was as indigenous as most Australians. While Bolger basically believed Australia was founded by robber barons for not signing a Treaty like NZers had done.

Here's Bolt again telling NZers don't have a mind of their own. Tell us about NZ politics Andrew Bolt their version, not yours.

"Yes, it is only one poll. Yes, many factors are at play - like a TV debate in which Ardern did well."Bolt

It seems even Bolt isn't convinced by his own  Walter Mitty ramblings and has put in a get out clause

 

"MARRIAGE EQUALITY" HAS NO BASIS IN HUMAN RIGHTS LAW

Mark Fowler says "marriage equality" is a slogan with no support in law: "Both the United Nations Human Rights Committee and the European Court of Human Rights have held that there is no inequality where a state retains the traditional definition of marriage... because the definitional boundary did not enfold persons of the same sex."

1 Sep

Bolt in true debating style is twisting meanings. How often have we heard him say under the Australian Constitution all Australian citizens are "equal" It's a Bolt mantra a principle he claims is dearly held. So as a consequence all Australians are equal under the law. There is no need for a bill of rights which we don't have nor any need for the AHRC that are outsiders to be got rid of. So John Howard passed into law a marriage definition and Act that under our Constitution ensures all Australians aren't "equal" Andrew Bolt for some reason is attempting to deny that. 

Why is Bolt referencing the UNHRC which he thinks is a load of crock and has constantly told Gillian Triggs and the AHRC were irrelevant?

So given Bolt's hypocrisy here the what's relevant? John Howards Act alone and that under our Constitution is neither fair nor equal and that's what's being asked to be changed in order to do so. If Bolt is not just playing for a team of bigots and holds the principles he claims to hold he should be voting "yes" loudly and from the roof tops. However, we know he hasn't any principles and we know he's voting "No" and loudly from the top of Bullshit Mountain

 

VAN ONSELEN MOCKS GAY-MARRIAGE ARGUMENT, ONLY TO CONFIRM IT

Peter van Onselen mocks the "slippery slope" warning of gay-marriage critics: "The slippery slope was used by opponents of slavery... Next thing you know blacks will demand voting rights." But he  actually confirms there is a slippery slope - once a principle is conceded, much logically follows. In this case, great. But here's what Peter ignored.

 PAYWALL

How do you respond to a pay wall. To date all Bolt has done has not addressed the issue of Marriage Equality or our laws. However he's run a sideshow campaign on hypotheticals a campaign that has been repeated by others dating as far back as 2004 in Boston.. All the slippery slope scares put forward then are being put forward and repeated again here and now.
There have been ample longitudinal studies done over three decades which have proved Bolt wrong. 79 were examined by Colombia University one of the worlds most prestigious Universities and the found Bolt to be wrong on every level. Children raised by same sex adult parents fared no worse than heterosexual units and studies in Boston over 15 years found on average children raised by same sex partners fared better.
Bolt selectively chooses promoters of "no" selects  minimal research often proved wrong when peer reviewed to argue his case. He even turns to the UNHRC which he himself calls an international wate of space to support his case for the "no" vote. The only people doesn't drag in for support are the people he hates the most Muslims. That's the paucity of Bolt's reasoning

 

 

ETHNIC COLONIES: HOW DO WE STAY AUSTRALIANS TOGETHER

Our huge challenge is to create a community from a nation of tribes, when immigration is now colonisation: "There were 111 suburbs across [Sydney] with more than half the population born in another country... The inner-city neighbourhood of Haymarket had the highest overseas-born population at 90.3 per cent. Next was Sydney's CBD (80.3 per cent)."  

 "With more than one in four of us born overseas, more than 300 languages spoken in our homes, more than 100 religions and more than 300 different ancestries, our cultural diversity is enormously rich."

The majority response is "isn't that fantastic except for Andrew Bolt who wishes his household spoke Dutch at home who has a Garden Dutch dog and other objects that define him as more than just Australian which he demands yes demands us to be. It took him some 35 years he's said to feel somewhat Australian because he identified as Dutch. However he expects others to try harder than he ever did and also acts as the judge. What an ugly Australian he is tribalising people as if he were some exception to the rule. Who let him in because as the saying goes give me the boy until he's 7 and I'll show you the man. His mother really didn't like the place did she?
How can Bolt have such a static view he talks nonsense blind to history. Carlton was once Jewish and Italian it's not anymore. Richmond was Greek. Sydney road has gone through a variety of changes. What does show however is Bolt's ignorance. He doesn't know Melbourne and it's obvious he has never been a part of it. However I'm sure his kids won't be Andrew Bolt replicas.
