Just remember...it was you who brought that up...

Desert War, Rain Lover, Latin Knight, Hay List, Mustard...my turf heroes...

Those goddamn woke Liberals LOL

Time is a flat circle

Or maybe just an own goal. Cry

I'd just like to know where you old timers learn to use terms like "thought bubble" and "mea culpa."

Good one, rusty.

SC, I doubt that thought bubble barely went beyond some middle ranking activist public servant who sanctioned the form. Very much doubt it ever saw the eyes at ministerial level.

As it has just come to public attention I think may not have being around for very long and could have been snuck on the form by a public service activist when the outgoing government was in caretaker mode. Wink

Ask Sally Capp BB, she probably has her finger on the pulse. Smile

Here you go Bobby, one I believe you missed.

You're welcome. Thumbs Up

Greens leader Adam Bandt accused of hypocrisy for calling himself a 'dad of two' on social media while having a woke fit over the term 'birthing parent' being replaced on a form by 'mother'

Adam Bandt slammed government for switching 'birthing parent' to 'mother'
Twitter users quick to point out Mr Bandt describes himself as a 'dad' in bio
Users suggest bio should read 'non-birthing parent' or 'sperm producing unit'
Bill Shorten said he reversed term back to 'mother' to avoid an 'ugly' culture war

He is a total A-grader. Can not argue there. But if anyone wants the truth there is a difference between a dad and a father. The latter is the “sperm producing unit” and doesn’t automatically make you the former.

Whose delicate feelings are we supposed to be protecting by not calling mothers, mothers?

When humans who are not females can give birth we will need birthing parent as a description - Not before. I can't wait for that day. Thumbs Up

The realisation of radical feminist Shulamith Firestone's dream.

"She regarded pregnancy and childbirth as "barbaric" (a friend of hers compared labor to "gelatiting a pumpkin") and the nuclear family as a key source of women's oppression. Contraception, in vitro fertilization and other medical advances meant that sex would one day be separated from pregnancy and child-rearing, and women could be free. However, Firestone hoped to take reproduction one step further and completely separate it from the female body. She urged the emergence of a new type of artificial reproduction, referred to as the “bottled baby,” through which women could be freed of the hindrance of childbirth, just as men are.^[16] Although in vitro is the closest option we have to such a phenomenon, we have not yet reached Firestone's end goal.^[34]"

An honest politician is one who when he is bought will stay bought.

That Bandt dill is weird. I cant believe people vote for him ? Or do they ? Confused

How does he gain so much prominence ?

Making stupid remarks I suppose. Wacko

animals before people.

Must be doing something right. Been elected 5 times to his seat that had been safe Labor, is leader of the party and now has 3 mates in the House with him. I reckon he is happy for right wingers to call him weird and write him off.

They picked up their 3 new HOR seats in Qld, LNP heartland.

I think we have too many public holidays. It can go if they like.
