Marriage Equality Rally
Despite earlier problems with language, I seem to have done something today. As you know, I attended the Marriage Equality Same-Sex Marriage Rally (ask me why I'm not going to the next one) in Sydney last Saturday. Here's two videos and some pics from that event.

>The revisions to the Marriage act were steam-rolled through Federal Parliament by the Liberal Govt.
Well, that seems counter-intuitive... WHY do they call it the Liberal Govt.?
>(...)sent troops to the Northern Territory to occupy Indigenous settlements "for their own good"(...)
I'm always leery of the motives of ANYONE who does something to someone else 'for your own good'... How, specifically, does this benefit the Indigenes? My people are Irish- We've heard this one before. Is it to save the poor benighted savages from being lumbered with all that awful land and mineral wealth, as it was with the Native Americans here?
I'm sorry if my tone seems cynical, but I would like JUST FOR ONCE to be wrong in my predictions of what people in positions of public trust do, if only for the novelty of it.
The media is no help. Their ceaseless scandalmongering directs the attention of the public away from the very real and serious misbehaviour of our elected officials, and has so numbed the people (at least in this country) that even when some public figure is convicted of a violation of public trust, he is usually re-elected.
Not only that, my arthritis is giving me the gyp.
