Dean Smith's mile high SSM conversion not credible ;the Brandis " marriage to anything at all cost " bill needs explaining

by Ganesh Sahathevan 






George Brandis, Australia's next High Commissioner to the UK, comes 
range of other coercive methods



Readers are invited to compare Dean Smith's story of how he changed his strongly held views on marriage as an institution between a man and a woman. His conversion does not seem remotely credible, and we have the spectacle of  George Brandis's now obvious, central role campaigning for the YES vote. Brandis SC seems happy to forget that he is the Attorney General, and ought to play a neutral role in the matter.
Obviously, SSM is a matter close to heart for Brandis more than  Dean Smith,who not so long ago declared:
"I believe in God. I believe in the biblical story of the crucifixion and the resurrection. I pray. I reject the suggestion of marriage equality. The claim to equality ignores the widely accepted fact that marriage is an institution that has a long and well-accepted definition – a definition that is heavily laden with cultural meaning and values crafted by custom and by law over the years."
The Australian Family Association seem to understand better than Smith what "his" bill entails but then again, one ought not expect him to understand work that is not his.  Smith will continue to look like a fool for so long as Brandis refuses to explain his work.

Smith bill for "gender-fluid" marriage NOT what Australian’s voted on

By removing the possibility of protections being written into the Dean Smith bill to redefine marriage, following the ‘yes’ vote in the marriage ballot, and indicating that it may be dealt with in a separate bill at some time in the future, the Government is asking people to trust them to provide adequate protections to our freedom of religion, speech, association and action, not to mention our right to protest and right to conscientious objection.
But, the decision by the Turnbull Government to appoint a four person panel to look into protections for religious freedom is no guarantee that any protections will be granted to people who hold the view that marriage is between a man and a woman, whether those views are based on religion or simply the natural law.
And why should we trust the government? Australians were asked in the marriage survey question, “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?” Yet, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull confirmed the Dean Smith Bill to be put to parliament was for "gender fluid" marriage: “Well, two people will be able to get married, regardless of their gender, yes”…. “any two people will be able to get married… I think under the bill that’s being debated in the senate, it is basically between two persons regardless of their gender, that’s the proposal”, he said.
Combined with the removal of the definition of male and female from the Federal Sex Discrimination Act in 2013 and insertion of the definition of gender identity as the "gender‑related identity, appearance or mannerisms or other gender‑related characteristics of a person (whether by way of medical intervention or not), with or without regard to the person’s designated sex at birth", "gender fluid" marriage will force gender-fluid sex education and shared-gender toilets, showers, change rooms and facilities upon school children, force women’s jails and women’s shelters to house men identifying as women with the threat of rape that that poses, allow men identifying as women to compete in women’s sporting teams and force identifying documents such as births, deaths and marriage certificates, passports and driver’s licences to include an indeterminate or unspecified gender.
Australian’s did not vote for "gender-fluid" marriage. They voted for "same-sex" marriage.
On that basis, the parliament has no right and no mandate to legislate for "gender fluid" marriage by passing the Dean Smith bill.

If Damien Tudehope's COVID hotel quarantine fee statements are correct, SLHD revenue reported in financial statements signed by former CEO Teresa Anderson is overstated, and false

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan                     Tough talking Damien Tudehope may not have the power to impose th.  bulk of his quarantine fee, if any Readers will recall that former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller (now a PwC partner) said in his notice that Revenue NSW " will be charging a mandatory quarantine fee". Readers will also recall that the rormer NSW Minister For Financial Services, Damien Tudehope insisted that the quarantine fees charged by Sydney Local Health District, pursuant to the NSW Health Services Act include charges for police security. However, there is nothing  in the SLHD's financial statements for the relevant periods (see links below) to reflect any payment from the COVID quarantine fee revenue being made over to NSW Police. SLHD's revenue must then have been overstated, by the CEO concerned Teresa Anderson.  SLHD Financial Statements https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/annualreport/Publicat...

Strata managers' aversion to contact with tenants can leave strata managers exposed to personal liability

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Advice for living in, or buying into, a strata community Strata managers are employed to manage strata schemes which are often home to renters as well as owners. However, in evasion of that which they are paid to do there are instances where strata managers have attempted  to evade their duties by refusing to  deal with tenants.   Even this writer can recall an instance where the strata manager warned that it was against the law for tenants to contact him directly.  The instances where strata managers have refused to deal with tenants occur when the issues raised concern fairly pedestrian maintenance issues, for example blocked plumbing and the like. Having said that, tenants do actually have a legal right to a great many things, including being informed (and presumably make representations) when strata schemes consider re-development. Strata managers who seek to stand in place of strata committees  are even more e...
