Same Sex Marriage. Same Old Excuses.

Well, Julia is apparently not down with the gays being able to walk over any thresholds legally which is very disappointing. On the Kyle and Jackie O Show (of all places!) our Lady PM stubbed out any hopes that Jules' rapid ascension would herald a time of societal reason. But it seems that her party and personal views are against any amendments to the marriage laws, which is strange due to her lack of religious leanings would give her a platform for representing a community which seems to get the back end of the pool cue by the government more than often .

Man, this is a fart in a birthday cake for me which has popped the happy balloon I was blowing up for Ms Gillard. Not that I am within a trillion light years of a marriage proposal nor feel like i will ever be, but this is about more than ourselves, it's about moving forward as a community and in the rights for all, no matter who they wish to Boof, Pash or Marry. It is worth mentioning that in 2009 it was shown 60% of Australian's are FOR gay marriage, so how can Gillard or any politician for that matter site the 'communities' opinion as a reason to constantly avoid it.

Yes, Rudd revised constrictive wording in laws regarding superannuation, taxes and insurance to name a view to give same sex couples the same rights as their 'straight' counterparts. But we sit of the edge of a massive reform that would make Australia a progressive state once again, but no one has the guts to take the step and if an atheist female prime minister can't summon her lead balls to make this leap then I despair it may never be a reality anytime soon . I feel a protest vote for the Greens rising in the back of my throat.

Headline of the millennium - hands down

Good Golly Gillard!

" Bitch...Oh no you didn't.."

Golly Australia you can surprise the minx outta me when I least expect it. Just when I though the country was going to swing into the scaly claws of Tony Abbott, you hiff out KRudd with last week’s porno and bring in Julia Gillard. I had read grumblings about change and had thought how cool it would be to have a female PM, but I parked that in ‘what if’ land along with my dreams of having a pink pony. But whambang ginger ma’am and we have a lady PM who seems like she could kick some serious ass. Like a shower after a big night, all sins are washed away and I can start to feel like the government is back on track.

Something had to happen though, with KRudd back flipping more than a Cirque du Soleil acrobat I could feel that Abbott could be handed the keys to the lodge by default. Call me a pinko tree hugging lefty but it is dangerous to give power to a man who is "threatened" by homosexuality, says gay people challenge "the right order of things", who also has ‘mixed’ feelings about contraception and believes women need to abstain from sex before marriage. This is coming from a man who openly admitted to the possibility he fathered a child out of wedlock back whilst back at university, only to find out the child (20+ year old man now) was not in fact his. The words hypocritical bigoted dinosaur are flashing in my mind like a Kings Cross strip bar sign.

I was already packing my carryon luggage to move to the moon until Julia scampered into my life. Man, she is a firecracker. Anyone who does not think her speech and press conference was impressive is obviously lost in a K Hole cause I was all ready to marry this woman. I guess time is going to tell here, as there will surely be a honeymoon period but I have feeling this woman will lead Labour to a win later this year. Not only does she have more balls than a stud farm she has a clear idea of what she will and won’t put up with, including a serpentine Tony Abbott or narky journalists.

It is about time Australia has a female PM, this country has been held back by old boys’ network to the detriment of social development. Let’s just hope that the country can advance forward to talk about her policies and direction for the country and not fall for the usual gossip that surrounds female heads of state – endless vapid jabbering about her clothes, sexual orientation, make up choices and if the curtains match the drapes.

I am leaving on a jetplane...

So officially have the travel bug this year I tells ya and I don’t mean that uncomfortable itching when you frequent too many park benches after dark, I mean the type where your passport gets a right rogering and it needs a trip to Golden Door and a face lift after. I am off to New Zealand for work in July to traipse about Wellington and Marlborough which will be very fun, then in August I jet off to NYC with a side order of Philadelphia and Washington DC for a vaycay. Then in December I’m back on the winged metal Tampax to go back to New Zealand for Xmas to see the mother and then do a 10 day drive around the South Island with 4 mates. FUN! I am already taking my vitamin B and packing my denture glue.

This is on top of a trip to Brisbane I had last week with my mates Matt and Adrian, what a surprisingly fun town ole Brissy was! I was utterly bushed on returning to Sydney after 4 days debauching it up in the north. Those Queenslanders know how to have fun and we spent most of the time going out, coming home from being out and getting ready to go back out. It was very fun, apart from when Matt and Adrian decided to trap me between the couch and the wall down shove Adrian's feral dirty sock in my mouth. I was later informed he had tinea too. BLERG!!! Anyway I got him back when I threw his dirty mouth invading $100 Ozwald Botang sock off the 29th floor of our apartment.

Here are some pics anyway for your perusal.
