Barry O'Farrell's Second Crossing

The construction of a second airport for Sydney has been a contentious issue for many years. The present airport has been at capacity and beyond for a considerable period of time and an additional airport is desperately required. Because of the potential loss of votes in an electorate where such a facility would be established, the Premier of New South Wales, Barry O’Farrell, recently proposed that Sydney’s second airport be located in Canberra, the capital city of the Australian Capital Territory, to be linked to Sydney via a Very Fast Train (VFT) service. If approved, not only will the new airport not be in Sydney, it won’t even be in New South Wales. It will be hundreds of kilometers away, in Canberra! I couldn’t help but wonder, when Premier O’Farrell recently proposed a new harbour crossing for Sydney, if he is intending that it too be located in Canberra!

Fred Nile's Legacy

He has also been called a bitter, twisted, hate-filled, homophobic bigot.

Tony Abbott Revealed

Tony Abbott, the Leader of the Opposition in the Australian Federal Parliament has been quoted as saying of the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, “Julia Gillard won't lie down and die”. He has also been linked with other comments about Julia Gillard such as, “Ditch the Witch” and “Juliar (sic) . . . Bob Brown’s B*tch” (see pic below). The poodle’s comment in this cartoon, relative to disrupting parliament, relates to the Opposition’s practice of constantly disrupting Parliament by bringing motions for the suspension of standing orders each day. Such motions are often made by Opposition frontbencher, Christopher Pyne, who Julia Gillard once referred to as a "mincing poodle". #auspol

Villainous Peter Jensen

The Most Reverend Peter Jensen is the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, Australia. His restrictive, ultra-conservative brand of evangelical Christianity is what drove him to make reference to himself as a villain and an idiot, in terms of popular culture. He opposes the ordination of female priests, opposes the consecration of female bishops, opposes stem cell research, and opposes absolutely anything whatsoever to do with the equal rights of the law-abiding, tax-paying, gay and lesbian citizens of Australia:

The Reverend Fred Nile

The Reverend Fred Nile is an Australian clergyman and politician within the New South Wales Legislative Council. He has clearly never heard of the separation of powers. He is vehemently opposed to homosexuality and is widely known for his spiteful, venomous, ongoing campaign against the law-abiding, tax-paying, gay and lesbian citizens of Australia. He contends that homosexuality is a “lifestyle choice” that is “immoral, unnatural and abnormal”. I wonder what Jesus - who never once mentioned homosexuality - would make of the bitterly misanthropic pronouncements of The Reverend Fred Nile and his ilk.
