Welcome To The Next Wedge.

So far the federal government has tried water, health, the ever potent fear of the 'other' and now it seems homosexuals:

'THE Federal Government has put itself on a new collision course with the States by proposing a ban on gay couples adopting overseas.
THE federal government has indicated it would legislate to stop same-sex Australian couples adopting a child from overseas, in a move that would over-ride state and territory laws.'

That last sentence is becoming increasingly common isn't it. Now it seems that whenever the government actually does anything, that thing inevitably 'over-rides state and territory laws'. It should be enough to make most real conservatives shudder.

It's clearly early days concerning this proposed ban on gay couples adopting overseas, but it appears that this government is getting increasingly desperate. They've been blowing the whistle constantly, but the dogs have heard it so many times they've grown conditioned to it's ring. I guess the Howard pack are all out of tricks and the advisers ran out of material back in 2001. They were lucky in 2004 due to a self destructive yobo in charge of the ALP, but this time prim and proper Kev's at the wheel and he hasn't been biting.

Who knows what's next, maybe well head back to single mothers and doll bludgers.
