Pure Illiberal Madness.

The Greens haven’t released their new drug policy, which would have been *ahem* interesting to look at following the execution of a certain criminal in Singapore, so instead, here are some highlights from policy that is available:

1.2 The Australian Greens recognise that Indigenous people, as the original owners and custodians, have a specific and unique cultural relationship with this country, which all Australians must respect. [emphasis added]

A ‘Green’ Australia will therefore endorse the tribalism of Aboriginal culture, including corporal punishment, the battering of women, the death penalty, and arranged marriages (based on skin colour). Will the Green’s at least give Australians the ‘good side’ of Aboriginal culture, such as allowing the barbequing of beached whales? Doubtful.

1.8 Indigenous people require, and are entitled to [a], culturally appropriate and fully resourced [welfare sector…]

'Culturally appropriate'? Does this also mean Anglo-Saxon/Celtic Australians will receive welfare that is ‘culturally appropriate’? Will Jewish Australians, who have joined Australian society in a mutually rewarding relationship since before the Holocaust receive ‘culturally appropriate’ services (i.e., less)? This is Green racism, pure and simple.

1.10 The Australian Greens recognise and accept the need for Australia’s history of ‘settlement’ to be revised without prejudice and taught at all levels of education.

One word- Indoctrination. The Greens will obviously ignore the ruling of Federal Court in relation to the ‘stolen generation’, and sideline the history of European settlement- which deserves so much to be taught in our society- at all levels of education.

1.11 The Australian Greens support increased opportunities from birth for programs in which Indigenous languages can be taught.

These are absolutely laughable policies. Such a move is entirely impractical. Indigenous Australians make up 2% of the population- if the Government plans on making Australia bi-lingual, would it not be much more appropriate to teach Mandarin Chinese- which, from memory, is the most spoken language in the world?

2.16 provide adequate funding for support groups, rights groups and representative groups for each of the LGBTI communities

2.17 provide adequate funding for research into LGBTI cultural, community, social, health, welfare and safety issues

3.55 the establishment of an adequately funded federal office for the status of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people.

3.59 transgender medical procedures being available at both public and private hospitals and under Medicare

The Green’s have so many creative ways to spend the taxpayer’s money, and when they start to run out- they’ll just print more!

This is an attack on liberalism. Australians, such as those with a conservative moral nature, have the right not to fund such operations, in accordance with their religious beliefs, or other viewpoints. If you dont like having a penis, pay for it to be sliced off yourself.

2.12 a global ban on the militarisation of space, including the United States of America’s (US) plan for the development of an anti-missile defence capability, and [the Greens] strenuously oppose any Australian involvement

2.15 condemn the US Missile Defense [sic] program, known as ‘son of star wars’, as provocative, potentially belligerent and dangerously destabilising

The development of advanced defence technology is a right every nation has. The US development of an anti-missile shield will bring great benefits to both North America, and Australia, and should in no way harm relations with other states. Both Australia and the US not only have the right to develop such a shield, which is more and more promising with the increasing evolution of modern technology, but also the responsibility to do so in order to protect their people.

2.56 commit Australia to a self-reliant, non-nuclear national security framework with participation in a reformed regional and global collective security framework

Self-reliant? The Greens delude themselves. Australia is a middle-power at best, we will never be truly capable of self-reliance in our defence.

2.7 consultation and participation of workers and their unions in decisions on workplace changes

The Greens will allow unelected Union’s to have a massive role in developing policy (for all sectors of the economy) at a federal and state level, but are so anti-business that any Green Government will ruin Australia with over-taxation and over-regulation. The Green’s obvious corporatist goals should give equal, if not greater, participation rights to large businesses and the business community- or risk stunting domestic industry, and forcing away foreign investors.

2.13 the principle of a contribution to be made by non-union members who gain the benefit of union registered agreements.

Yet, non-union members will be hit with this:

3.2 abolish Australian workplace agreements and non-union collective agreements, and encourage the making of multi-employer agreements

Pure, illiberal, madness.

The Greens are a flock of Dodos.
