• Sly Place is probably the "naughty" child who doesn't call their parents and is feeling a little guilty lol. My own beautiful mum used to say some of these things to me - especially about calling - and now that she's passed away I'd give any moment I could to talk to her one last time. - Aunty Honey
  • Kevin will say anything to score a point and not agree with Julia. I don't believe that Julia (personally) is against same-sex marriage - she just has too many ALP MP's in Queensland she has to please. - Matty
  • Excuse me while I go and look up the word antediluvian. - Patrice
  • PM Gillard is entitled to her opinion and has allowed for her ALP Party member's to have a conscience vote. Tony Abbott has not and is playing with the electorate indicating the POSSIBILITY of a LNP conscience vote AFTER the election. Cardinal George Pell attended the IPA's latest event (Institute Public Affairs & backer of the LNP) together with Abbott, Rinehart & Murdoch. Tony Abbott's Catholicism would prevent any future marriage equality. It is time the electorate called his bluff and insist the LNP are held to a conscience vote BEFORE the election. June 6th the Greens are introducing a bill, we have a week to force Tony Abbott's hand. - Suz
  • That's a tad harsh, Sly Place - owlchimes
  • What a great letter, so many of my feelings expressed eloquently, I love my boys unconditionally but - sometimes!!!!!!! I might even borrow some of the thoughts expressed in a letter to my own kids. And to Mrs Churchill- Susanna has a life, it's just own where her kids are involved in it. And I wouldn't call her needy - maybe instead of spending their inheritance, spend some time with your kids. - Shawn Ridout-Jones
  • Spare us the baby boomer garbage. You want to whinge to your kids, keep it in the family. - Sly Place
  • So what has changed since Kevin examined the ethics and arguments in favour of same sex marriage, when there have been plenty of previous opportunities? Just the contact with the staffer? I'm angry with politicians (not just Kevin) converting to same sex marriage after personal contact. You can't legislate well unless you've had personal contact? What are the implications of this behaviour? That all the arguments and stand alone ethics aren't good enough? For instance the ethics behind the treatment of asylum seekers is also clear: are politicians really saying they need personal contact in order to understand, in order to make the right decisions? - Jude
  • I think this is a very clever political move. It shows the LNP refusal to allow a conscience vote in sharp relief and returns the conversation to the fact that the LNP deny their members the right to an individual opinion. - Alberta
  • This is well overdue and if it were not for the fact of National Secretary and Treasurer of the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Union, who is a staunch christian.....(my lower case) it would have happened months ago. It is indeed passing strange that the demographic of the union mentioned is probably more aligned with Rudd's position than Gillards but you know how it goes...them pesky god botherers won't rest till we are all singing from the same page, there is no room for compassion, live and let live, do unto others, love thy neighbour etc in the minds of these religious zealots. Their rabid and one eyed positions are a far cry from THE CHRIST they so vehemently claim to follow. - Geoffrey
