Commenting on "Labor senator Penny Wong slams language around same-sex marriage"

http://www.theage.com.au/national/labor-senator-penny-wong-slams-language-around-samesex-marriage-20150704-gi54ee.html

What seems to be trivial today may become a reality tomorrow. Passing this bill on same-sex marriage sets a precedence for lobbyists campaigning for recognition of other forms of marriage in the name of marriage equality, e.g. polygamy and incest.

You probably know that a male Muslim can take in four to five wives, but a female Muslim cannot have more than one husband. If the law were to allow same-sex marriage, it is likely that the Muslim community will lobby to recognise the Islamic laws that permit polygamy. That will have a flow-on effect to the non-Muslims, once again in the name of equality.

Incest can have genetic repercussion. Royal families have intermarriage within the same royal blood line so that power remain in the hands of these privileged few. Incest also occurred and recorded in the Bible, in cases where those concerned did not want a family tree to be terminated abruptly due to the absence of male offspring within the family. These examples will be used by the believers and non-believers to justify to have sexual relationship with own family members instead of going for adoption, IVF or surrogacy.

It is interesting to note that Penny Wong, former Finance Minister under the Gillard's government, has switched camp and landed in the position as the Leader of Senate. Penny Wong's survival is a very smart and strategic move by Kevin Rudd. Penny Wong is an Asian-born (Sabahian), lesbian female. She is the best tool for killing three birds (race, gay, gender) with one penny.

Recycled Rudd: Will he be better the second time around?

Liberal will win the next election, but Labor will put up a good contest under Kevin Rudd. The damage caused by former Prime Minister Julia Gillard will take time to heal.

There are several unfilled key positions, but under Kevin Rudd's wing is a team of inexperienced Gen Y MP's, due to resignations of the Julia Gillard's supporters and those sacked by Julia Gillard who supported Kevin Rudd in the previous showdown.

For Australia's sake, Labor must not win the election, or else Australia will enter an era of financial crisis. Not unlike Julia Gillard, both spent money like no tomorrow.

Kevin Rudd is the 26th and 28th Prime Minister. In his previous PM life, he demonstrated that he was a workaholic which earned him the title Kevin 24/7 with a management style dreaded by his staff. In fact, the PM office had extremely high staff turnover.

Kevin Rudd is a good communicator, but then talk is cheap. He has many Twitter followers, and speaks Mandarin very fluently. His smiling baby face is likeable especially adored by seniors, but this is a facade of "hiding a knife behind the smiling face" (36 Stratagems).

Fixed carbon pricing may be the first item thrown out of Julia Gillard's window and replaced by emission trading scheme (ETS), a more unethical way to reduce carbon emission. This is one of the tactic known in the 36 stratagems as "kill with a borrowed knife".

Gonski funding model for schools seems like a fair system, but it will not fix the real problems. Billions of dollars will be misused by schools and principals, not dissimilar to some of the Labor government funded projects. The core problem must be tackled, and the education system must undergo a complete revamping from early childhood learning to tertiary education.
