That’s the most hilarious thing I’ve ever read on BigFooty, so much so I’m using it as my sig to remind people of the absolute absurd idiocy of christians.The document is merely a ready reckoner for anyone looking to get ahead in the party. It accurately details the rules and processes of the Victorian division. The only controversial part is the heading, which indicates who it is from and for what purpose.
The Junkee article is from the last election.
The affirmation stuff is the usual anti-LNP stuff from Kos. I am Christian, don't believe the Lord's Prayer should be said before parliamentary sittings (because an MP's duty is to the constituents and not to the Almighty) but if someone says the Lord's Prayer in front of me, I'm going to join in. Of all the stuff that is going on in the name of God, that prayer is the least of anyone's worries.
The rest is probably fair comment. The reactionary religious forces are well-organised. Their opponents are not because they tend to be what has always existed in the Liberal Party - small flexible groupings that coalesce around certain people or certain discrete common beliefs or policy focuses. Common sense, thoughtful moderate centrism doesn't tend to get bums in seats. The interesting thing will be, considering what is clearly a more moderate policy platform than four years ago, what will be the reaction internally to the anticipated result?
Are ya havin’ a punt today Punter?
